Preferred term

parental rights  

Definition

  • The right of parents to make educational decisions for their children has evolved since the earliest reported state law cases in the last quarter of the 19th century. As state governments became more involved in regulating education, conflicts between parents and public officials led to litigation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Education Law; Parental Rights]
