What I want to know is: Why not? Many of those men and women are strong conservatives. So I place this as a public service and exhort readers in those states to call their offices. We do not need UN bureaucrats telling us what to do and we do not need kids suing their parents for making them go to church or because they searched their room. Our law is fine as it is. Call your senator today.
Here’s the text of the resolution. Here is the website for Parental Rights (founded by Michael Farris).
