MI SR0107

Affirms the fundamental right of parents to direct their children's education and maintain authority over decisions affecting their children's health and well-being.

Cites Michigan law establishing the "natural fundamental right of parents and legal guardians to determine and direct the care, teaching, and education of their children" and requiring public schools to cooperate with parents in developing curricula.

Alleges that some education systems have disregarded parental rights by incorporating "radical politics" and "political indoctrination" into curricula while ignoring or shaming objecting parents.

References Governor Whitmer's 2021 veto of education scholarship legislation, characterizing it as denying parents freedom and flexibility over their children's education.

Calls on Governor Whitmer to publicly acknowledge parental rights over their children's upbringing and education, and directs copies be sent to the Governor, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and State Board of Education.
