"Also blasting the joint policy statement was The People, LLC, a constitutionally focused activist and watchdog group that has dealt extensively with education and parental rights at the state and local level and has been successful in drafting laws recognizing and protecting parental rights in education. 'Grants such as those related to this policy have been incentivizing states since the inception of the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant,' said co-founder Angela Alef. 'Up to now, the effect of these grants has been realized within the population receiving childcare vouchers/assistance. With the continued expansion of the 'money-following-the-child' policies of Education Reform, such interference in parental authority will be realized across all populations unless a state-level fight is waged by citizens.'
In a statement provided to The New American, Alef cited a 2011 meeting of the Louisiana Department of Education's Early Education Supervisors to illustrate the point. She said that 'concern was expressed there' that there would be 'insufficient monitoring of children' whose parents decided against enrolling their pre-K-aged children in school. 'The solution posed by the session leader was that, at some point, obviously, parents will have to be assessed,' Alef recalled. The latest policy statement by the Department of Health and Human Services, she added, 'can only be viewed as continuing the effort to standardize our families — one child at a time.'"
IT IS MORE OBVIOUS THAN EVER THAT THE FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN MUST BE WAGED WITHIN OUR STATE!
