“The function of public education in America is to provide a solid foundation for children in core academic subjects; it is not to usurp the role and rights of parents to direct the moral upbringing of their children. The actions of the Newport Mesa School District demonstrate a clear failure to understand these roles as well as an abdication of its responsibility under both federal and state law.  California Alliance for Education will continue to partner with Dhillon Law to hold California school systems, like NMUSD, accountable for the blatant disregard of parental rights.”
