• W291236542 abstract "The right of a parent to control his child's upbringing is one of few fundamental rights recognized by courts as protected under doctrine of substantive due process. (1) Rooted in vague pronouncements made in two cases decided in 1920s, Meyer v. Nebraska (2) and Pierce v. Society of Sisters, (3) this amorphous parental right has never been clearly defined by Supreme Court. (4) This lack of guidance has proven especially troublesome in context of public schools where parents have attempted to shield their children from school mandates ranging from dress codes (5) to sex education. (6) Were parental rights to dominate school interests, public education would become untenable, as each parent would effectively hold veto power over school's curriculum. Thus, many courts have envisioned Meyer-Pierce right as a balance between competing interests of parents and schools. (7) Yet not until Fields v. Palmdale School District (8) did a federal appellate court establish a bright-line rule for parental rights claims relating to a public school's actions. In Fields, Judge Reinhardt of Court of Appeals for Ninth Circuit held--rousing much controversy (9)--that the Meyer-Pierce right does not extend beyond threshold of school door. (10) Though described by some as a restrained opinion, (11) Fields construes precedent broadly, ignores parental interests, and emasculates Meyer-Pierce right in public school setting. Instead of cutting off parental rights inside public schools, court should have recognized delicate interplay between difficult job of educating students from differing backgrounds and parental right to inculcate moral standards in their own children. (12) When parental interest asserted is fundamentally central to parent-child relationship, public school must not be given a free pass. This case began when Kristi Seymour, a volunteer mental health counselor at Mesquite Elementary School and a master's student in psychology, developed and administered a psychological survey for first, third, and fifth grade students with goal of establish[ing] a community baseline measure of children's exposure to trauma. (13) Ten of survey questions involved sexual topics. (14) Prior to administration of survey, Seymour sent letters informing parents of survey, explaining its goals, and asking for parental consent. (15) Though Seymour's letter noted that survey was intended to establish a baseline measure of student exposure to early trauma (for example, violence) and that questions might make a student feel uncomfortable, (16) there was no mention of survey's sexual content. (17) After school district approved survey, Seymour administered it to students, aged seven to ten, in elementary school during school hours. (18) Parents of children who participated in survey learned of survey's sexual content and alleged that had they known of true nature of survey, they would not have permitted their children to participate. (19) After pursuing an unsuccessful tort claim against Palmdale School Board, they filed suit in District Court for Central District of California, alleging violations of their federal constitutional right to privacy. (20) The court, acknowledging Meyer-Pierce right, stated that liberty interest asserted by plaintiffs--of controlling upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex in accordance with their personal and religious values and beliefs (21)--did not exist. (22) Pointing to First Circuit's decision in Brown v. Hot, Sexy & Safer Productions, (23) district court distinguished asserted liberty interest from those in Meyer and Pierce, finding, as did Brown court, that Meyer and Pierce only 'evince principle that state cannot prevent parents from choosing a specific educational program'. …" @default.
