6 MAY. 2025 · 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 https://sutherlandinstitute.org/nic-dunn/ is joined by https://sutherlandinstitute.org/william-c-duncan/, Sutherland’s Constitutional Law and Religious Freedom Fellow, and https://sutherlandinstitute.org/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.
