AMAC members have made clear their concern about the infestation of the radical transgender agenda in America’s schools. They want their grandchildren protected from the harmful effects of this dangerous ideology and have voiced their support for parental rights via numerous AMAC Action call-to-action campaigns in states throughout the country.

This is why AMAC Action has been lobbying members of the Tennessee state legislature in support of HB 2936. This bill empowers parental rights and provides much needed clarity for families who experience interference with the parent-child relationship by a teacher or other government employee.

The legislation effectively does four things:

  • Defines the right of parents as fundamental
  • Subjects government action that burdens this right of parents to the toughest level of review in American law
  • Prohibits health care providers from administering care to minors without parental consent
  • Provides a legal remedy to parents when the law is broken

 

The language for HB 2936 was carefully written and reflects language that has already been tested in court and passed into law in 17 other states. The bill recently passed out of the Children and Family Affairs Subcommittee and AMAC Action will continue with our efforts to convince Tennessee lawmakers to pass this important measure. Updates for HB 2936 will be reported as they become available.

We hope you've enjoyed this article. While you're here, we have a small favor to ask...
