Active Front
Parental Rights & Education
Parents do not surrender their role when their children walk into a public school. The Supreme Court's 2025 decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor addressed parents' ability to opt their children out of instruction that burdens religious exercise, and it gives this front its legal foundation.
The firm's work here is opt-out and curriculum transparency litigation: helping parents and parent groups obtain the notice, the records, and the accommodations the law requires, and litigating when a district refuses.
