Constitutionalizing Parental Rights

The piece frames a near‑term push to secure parental rights through the Constitution as a coherent legal and political strategy, arguing (or posing the question) that courts and state legislatures should recognize stronger, enforceable parental‑authority protections over education and medical decisions. It connects ongoing school‑curriculum fights, cases about minors' medical care, and conservative legal advocacy as parts of a single constitutional project. — If parental rights are elevated to a clear constitutional standard, it would reshape judicial review, state education and health policy, and the balance between family autonomy and state interests.
