Bill > HF1018

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish and protect parents' rights in their children's education. Specifically, the amendment would enshrine in the Minnesota Constitution the fundamental liberty of parents to direct their child's education, which includes the right to choose alternatives to public education such as private, religious, or home schooling, as well as the right to make reasonable choices within the public school system. The proposed amendment stipulates that the state cannot infringe upon these parental rights. If approved, the amendment will be presented to Minnesota voters during the 2026 general election, where they will vote on the specific question of whether to add this parental rights language to the state constitution. The ballot question will clearly outline the proposed rights, allowing voters to decide whether to formally recognize these educational decision-making powers as a fundamental liberty for parents in the state.
