(The Daily Signal)—Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., will propose a constitutional amendment to establish the freedom of parents to raise and educate their children as a fundamental right.
“For too long, unelected bureaucrats and activist judges have trampled on the role of parents, treating them as obstacles, instead of the primary protectors and decision-makers for their children,” Miller told The Daily Signal. “That must end.”
“My Parental Rights Amendment will enshrine this truth in the United States Constitution, ensuring once and for all that parents, not the government, hold the ultimate authority and responsibility for the upbringing, education, and care of their children.”
The amendment would establish “the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children” as “a fundamental right.”
Miller’s joint resolution to amend the Constitution says a parent’s right to direct his or her child’s education includes the right to choose private, religious, or home schools as an alternative to public school. It also includes the right to make reasonable choices within public schools for one’s child.
“Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe these rights without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served,” the proposed amendment says.
The joint resolution would have to be approved by two-thirds majority votes in both the House of Representatives and the Senate and then ratified by the votes of three-fourths of the states, or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures, then similarly ratified by three-quarters of the states.
Republican Reps. Sheri Biggs of North Carolina, Ashley Hinson of Iowa, Mike Collins of Georgia, Addison McDowell of North Carolina, Ben Cline of Virginia, and Greg Steube of Florida are co-sponsoring the joint resolution.
Conservative organizations, including Concerned Women for America, the Family Research Council, Independent Women’s Forum, Parents Defending Education, Moms for Liberty, and Alliance Defending Freedom, support the amendment.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
