Most pre-pubertal children (80 to 95 % depending on the study) reporting Gender Dysphoria (GD) will achieve a normal gender identity as adults unless they are “transitioned.” Tragically nearly 100% of these children will become transgender adults if they receive transgender affirming treatments.

Schools are ground zero in the current culture war on sex education. The LGBTQ+ agenda is a political movement foisted upon schools under the guise of diversity and civil rights. United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) strongly opposes these efforts to confuse and sexualize America’s children.

Parents are a child’s first teacher and US Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) advocates for parents, not the government, to control their children’s education. There are about 2.5 million homeschool students in grades K-12 in the United States and it appears that the homeschool population is continuing to grow at an estimated 2% to 8% per year.

A battle is raging over the opening of schools this fall. Some believe we absolutely must not open, dramatically claiming children will die from contracting COVID. Others insist we absolutely must open, claiming the effects of staying home will be more harmful than the virus itself.

H. 4596 mandates emphasis on “World Class Skills and Life and Career Characteristics.” The required competencies are values, attitudes and beliefs. Historically, parents have been responsible for teaching these subjective matters, but under Common Core and CBE, a computer teaches and evaluates competency for values, attitudes and beliefs.

Safety of students and staff in America’s schools is a major concern of parents across the country. No one should accept school violence of any sort, from bullying to homicide. USPIE supports committed enforcement of effective laws, and implementation of policies and practices that will keep students and staff safe.

The Founders of the United States government insisted that property rights were at least as important as personal rights. In Federalist 54, James Madison stated tersely: “Government is instituted no less for the protection of the property than of the persons of individuals.”

USPIE opposes all efforts to convert American education into a workforce development system and opposes enabling massive data collection of citizens, especially children, facilitated and coordinated by the Federal government. USPIE believes the effort to make this dramatic conversion through government schools is misunderstood by most Americans and nearly all elected officials.

A primary mission of United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is to return control of education to parents and local communities. We are alarmed by the expanded use of inappropriate Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), in K-12 public schools. CSE is a blatant intrusion into a traditional family domain and a dangerous assault on the health and innocence of children. We urgently encourage parents to retake control of their children’s sex education.

Download a test refusal form to exercise your fundamental constitutional rights to determine the care, teaching and education of their children.

United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is a nonprofit, nationwide coalition of state leaders focused on restoring local control of education by eradicating federal intrusion. State leaders from around the country, fed up with being ignored on education policy, have joined forces to abolish the US Department of Education (USED) and put an end to all federal education mandates. It is the goal of USPIE to return America’s education to its proper local roots and restore parental authority over their children’s education.

United States Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) is pleased to present the Blueprint to Establish State Control of Education by Eliminating all Federal Education Dollars. USPIE believes this bold idea is necessary to restore state sovereignty for education policy and practice, and believes it is achievable. The Blueprint explains detailed steps to help governors and state legislators develop and execute a concrete plan. Evidence as to how educational outcomes can improve as a result is included.

CBE is the antithesis of a liberal-arts education. It focuses not on academic knowledge but on workforce skills. The natural devolution is to allow politically connected corporations to develop “badges” and “credentials” that will be required and to convert K-12 into merely a training program for their entry-level employees.

Imagine your child comes home from school one day, sullen and quiet. You ask what is wrong, but he will not say anything. Or your child says he must watch a video for school as homework, but the teacher says it is not for parents. Or your child suddenly announces at dinner that the only reason you live in a nice house, drive nice cars and have delicious food on your table is because you have white privilege, not because you worked hard to earn your success.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has become the latest panacea in a long line of progressive “education reforms” that have only served to distract from the fact that American public school children are failing academically. Presented as an effort to support student mental health, it is a veiled attempt to indoctrinate and categorize children.

The term “school choice” is inadequate to describe the proper emphasis on parental authority needed in American education. Parents are a child’s first teacher, and they should have absolute say in what and how their children learn. Parental authority over their children's education must be restored.

Are you thinking about supporting “parental rights” legislation? With the enthusiastic endorsement of parents, many state legislatures are filing parental rights bills. It seems like enshrining parental rights into law would make them more powerful and perhaps provide a legal basis to prevent some of the atrocious infringements on the relationship between children and parents happening today.

US Parents Involved in Education (USPIE) developed this activity in response to the 21 Day Challenges focused on racism, equity and diversity being used in schools, churches, businesses and government. Every story has two sides. This is the other overlooked side. Take this challenge if you dare to think critically and rationally. Open your mind.

In December of 2018, the National Education Association published an article accidentally saying the quiet part out loud. For years, there has been a secret partnership between school board associations, superintendent associations and the national teacher unions.

The following document provides templates for prohibiting concepts based on race, ethnicity, or sex. These templates may be adapted by school board members to protect their district from the teachings of Critical Race Theory.
