Parents' Rights Coalition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Parents' Rights Coalition is a group, based in Waltham, Massachusetts, dedicated to fighting what they see as liberal, homosexual bias in Massachusetts public schools. They claim that sexual education and tolerance education as practiced in Massachusetts are usually excuses to indoctrinate children with extremist liberal propaganda. The group is allied with, among others, Article 8 Alliance, which is headed by well-known activist Brian Camenker.
The primary mission of the Parents Rights Coalition is removing any and all support for homosexuals by Massachusetts residents. It disseminates information about alleged bias through its website, appearances on radio and television, and letters to newspapers. The organization is also active in lobbying for laws that they claim give parents greater freedom in deciding what their children learn.
They were brought to national attention in the United States due to their opposition to a Massachusetts school teacher reading a fairy tale in which two men are married. They allege that the school violated a law requiring the school to inform parents of all sex-ed related material.
