Should parents have a meaningful say in what their children learn — and how they learn it? On this episode of
Defending Ideas, we examine two pivotal legal battles shaping the future of parental rights in education: one challenging a state-level school choice program, and another currently before the U.S. Supreme Court that could restrict a parent’s ability to opt their child out of curriculum that conflicts with their religious beliefs.
Host
Nic Dunn is joined by
Bill Duncan, Sutherland’s Constitutional Law and Religious Freedom Fellow, and
Christine Cooke Fairbanks, Sutherland’s Education Policy Fellow.
They help answer a critical question raised by these cases: How should the public education system accommodate the diverse values of American families? This conversation explores both constitutional principles and common-sense reasoning for prioritizing parental engagement, and why doing so is essential for a pluralistic, self-governing society.
