From the kprc tv website (thanks, texas towlie!).

Proposition 15 (SJR 34) — Codify parental rights in the Constitution

Purpose: Make parents’ rights to raise and educate children a fundamental constitutional right.

What it would do: Establish parents as the primary decision-makers for their children’s education, healthcare, and upbringing, giving their authority constitutional protection.

Supporters say: Protects family autonomy and parental authority.

Opponents say: Could make it harder to protect children and enforce public health measures.

Impact if it passes: Parents could challenge school policies made without their approval.
