Happy Constitution Day!
Today is Constitution Day, commemorating September 17, 1787, when the U.S. Constitution was signed and sent to the States for ratification.

Take Action: Laying the Groundwork for the Amendment
Right now, the Parental Rights Foundation is laying the groundwork to reintroduce the Parental Rights Amendment (PRA) in Congress later this summer. Last week, we were commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s touchstone parental rights case, Pierce v. Society of Sisters, which famously held that “[t]he child is not the mere creature of…
In Mahmoud v. Taylor, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed what we’ve always believed: parents, not the government, have the primary right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.
