A nonpartisan group of parents is fighting back. Led by Deborah Flora, Parents United America seeks to restore parental authority in every area of a child’s life.

“The biggest argument against parental rights is that the state needs to protect children from potentially abusive parents,” Ms. Flora said. “However, we have laws in place to deal with abuse. The state should never try to usurp the rights of the vast majority of parents who work tirelessly to provide a home and a future for their children. Yet that is what we are seeing from multiple fronts in our society.”

DENVER, CO: Deborah Flora, president of Parents United America, announced the launch of a nationwide organization focused on helping parents reestablish their fundamental right to be the primary influence and authority in their children’s lives. Parents United America is a non-partisan, non-religious organization focused on connecting, informing and empowering parents throughout the United States whose role is being marginalized on multiple fronts.

Parents are suing the Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin for enabling children to socially transition to a member of the opposite sex at school without parental notice or consent. Teachers are directed to deceive parents by using the child’s birth name and biological sex whenever parents are involved.

The lawsuit claims that the school district is violating parental rights “by adopting a policy designed to circumvent parental involvement in a pivotal decision affecting their children’s health and future.”

In a major victory for abortion opponents, the Florida Senate on Thursday passed a bill that would require parental consent before minors could have abortions.

'These bills would ensure that parents are afforded the right to remain informed and involved in their children's care,' said Sen. Mike Lee.
