The fight for parental rights in education is being used as a facade to push a controlling agenda. This includes altering textbooks, controlling curricular materials, and influencing teacher hiring. Conservative groups have been clandestinely taking over school systems. They manipulate social media and use legal challenges to push their agenda. Diligent citizens and local governments should be ready to defend against these challenges.

West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943)
West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) upheld individual rights, especially freedom of expression, amidst compulsory patriotism. The case involved Jehovah's Witnesses refusing to salute the flag due to religious beliefs. The Supreme Court ruled in their favor, establishing the precedent that the state cannot compel patriotic expression, highlighting the importance of defending minority beliefs and promoting tolerance.
