On the evening of September 3, the Huntington Beach City Council voted to enact an ordinance making the city a “Parents’ Right to Know City” and prohibiting school employees from keeping information about minor children hidden from their parents.
Following this announcement, the Liberty Justice Center released a formal statement by Senior Counsel Emily Rae supporting the ordinance:
“The Liberty Justice Center is supporting parental rights in California by challenging AB 1955 and defending school districts from Chino Valley to Rocklin Unified. We are encouraged by the leadership of Huntington Beach City Council in enacting an ordinance that declares Huntington Beach a ‘Parents’ Right to Know City.’
“Parents are the legal guardians of their minor children and have the right to know what their children are doing at school. The vast majority of California voters across the political spectrum support parental rights. The Liberty Justice Center is proud to represent our clients in California for free and to support them in fighting for their individual rights and liberties as parents.”
