Florida AG Uthmeier sticks to the script: 'God-given right' to raise kids
Florida's top legal eagle, Attorney General James Uthmeier, has announced a new office dedicated to safeguarding parents' rights. The Office of Parental Rights, according to Uthmeier, will provide a legal backbone for parents defending their rights to raise their children as they see fit.
In a media appearance, Uthmeier weighed in, stating that the government doesn't belong in the business of raising kids, but rather parents hold the divine mandate to do so. He stressed that this right is a "God-given right."
The attorney general outlined his intentions to assemble a team of litigators who will jump into battles initiated by parents. This team will be accessible through a portal that parents can use to reach out for help when they feel their rights are being violated.
As the federal court kicks a local immigration law to the curb, Uthmeier's office is offering to send extra prosecutors to the Ninth Circuit to assist State Attorney Monique Worrell with a mountain of cases.
When asked about costs, Uthmeier hinted that he may not shy away from spending every penny in the fight for justice. alongside the efforts, the attorney general plans to collaborate with nonprofits and community groups to ensure success in the endeavors.
According to a press release, the Office of Parental Rights can assist with a range of cases, such as:
- Access to school records denials
- Unauthorized collection of biometric or personal data
- Interference with the choice of healthcare, counseling, or mental health services
- Violations of educational autonomy
- Failure to notify parents about criminal offenses or other essential information
- Attempts to coerce secrecy or hide information from parents
- Objectionable instructional or library materials
- Restrictions on parental involvement in school governance
- Unauthorized data sharing or surveys
Governor Ron DeSantis and US Education Secretary Linda McMahon have shown support for the initiative.
"The move will protect Florida's parental rights and ensure they are upheld," the governor commented. McMahon tweeted that parents have the right to know what's happening in their child's education and make decisions about it.
Uthmeier gave thanks to McMahon for her backing, noting his appreciation for an administration in Washington that supports state sovereignty and above all, parents' right to their children's upbringing.
In recent legislative activity, there have been bills focusing on strengthening parental authority over healthcare decisions, access to medical records, education, and DNA collection[1][3]. The Florida Department of Children and Families plays a significant role in implementing these policies[3]. No specific office within the Attorney General's purview has been mentioned; however, these actions suggest a coordinated effort to strengthen parental rights through statutory revisions and court processes[1][3][4]. For more concrete information, additional sources would need to be consulted regarding any specific office within the Attorney General's jurisdiction.
