PPRA Opting Out of Curriculum
New Resource from PERK
Protection of children's rights always coincide with protecting parental rights and parental notification. Parents are increasingly concerned about the curriculum being taught to their children. Rightfully so! Instead of learning the essential academics critical for successful education, schools are used as an indoctrination machine. Kids learn more about political ideologies, woke philosophies, with a hyper emphasis on the over sexualization of young children.. We can all agree that many times these are all hidden in "curriculum" that parents have never seen before. Furthermore, parents don't even know they can opt out of harmful curriculum or content that is against their values and beliefs. We decided that this easy to understand process and resources is a necessity for every parent. It is important to recognize that federal law allows parents to:
(1) review the curriculum used to instruct their children in public schools, and
(2) prevent schools from asking highly personal questions about students’ sex lives, drug usage, and matters of that nature without parental consent.
This law, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, 20 U.S.C. § 1232h, is one important—but until now little-used tool for holding administrators and teachers accountable.

Parents can also demand that the school obtain prior written consent for any activity, other than direct academic instruction, related to or informed by critical race theory, gender ideology, or social-emotional learning principles.
If schools do not fulfill their obligations under the PPRA, parents can and should report violations.
We can't ever be complacent in the educating and the rearing of our children. Know what they are learning. Be in the driver seat as the parent.
