AI Generated Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to establish parental rights in directing their child's education. The amendment would affirm that a parent's liberty to direct their child's education is a fundamental right. It 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 public schools. Additionally, the state would be prohibited from infringing on these rights.
If the bill passes, the proposed constitutional amendment would be presented to Minnesota voters in the 2026 general election for approval or rejection. The ballot question would ask voters whether they support adding this parental rights provision to the Minnesota Constitution.
