For Parents: Send This to Your Child’s School

One of the things we do at our Founding Freedoms Law Center is provide helpful resources to parents and citizens right on our website under the “Resources” tab. We wanted to let you know about a new and important resource that parents can use right away.

Under our brand new Parent Resources tab, we’ve drafted a Model Parent Letter entitled “Notice to School Administrators and Teachers Concerning Ideological Speech Codes.” The letter is designed to help parents make clear to their child’s public school that they do not permit their child to be required to speak messages that violate their family’s core faith tenets, including on matters of sexuality/gender (e.g. "preferred pronouns") and race (e.g. tenets of "critical race theory"). (See excerpt below.)

As more school districts, like Fairfax County, adopt policies that attempt to force students to speak ideological messages that are not true, and which violate their faith, this letter is something concrete parents can do to push back.

We plan to continue uploading more resources like this, and we also have specific resource pages for COVID-19, “transgender” policies, sex education, workplace discrimination, teachers, churches, and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Be sure to check those out, use the free resources, and share them with family and friends.
