Bill > SF1923

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to establish fundamental parental rights in education. Specifically, the proposed amendment would add a new section to the Minnesota Constitution guaranteeing parents the fundamental liberty to direct their child's education. This 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 a public school setting. The amendment explicitly states that the state must not infringe upon these parental rights. If approved, the proposed amendment would be submitted to voters at the 2026 general election, with voters asked to decide whether they support adding this language to the state constitution. The ballot question would directly ask voters if they want to confirm parents' fundamental rights to choose and direct their child's educational path, with the aim of constitutionally protecting parental choice in education.
