AK SJR26

Affirms support for H.J. RES. 42, a proposed federal constitutional amendment establishing parental liberty to direct children's upbringing and education as a fundamental right.

Proposes three constitutional sections: declaring parental rights fundamental, requiring government to meet the highest interest standard to infringe upon such rights, and prohibiting treaties or international law from superseding these parental rights.

Cites Supreme Court decisions in Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972) and Troxel v. Granville (2000) as establishing and questioning parental rights respectively, and expresses concern about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child potentially altering parental authority.

Urges members of Congress to submit the Parental Rights Amendment to the states for ratification.

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the President, Vice President, Congressional leadership, Alaska's federal delegation, all members of the 111th Congress, and the presiding officers of all state legislatures.
