PETITION FOR Civil Rights Act for Equal Educational Opportunity “…The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness…And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.” President Barack Obama (January 20, 2009)
Although America has long recognized that a nation, founded on individual liberty, requires equal opportunity in housing, employment and public accommodations, state governments and the District of Columbia financially coerce parents to send their children to government run schools. This is the greatest government-sanctioned violation of civil rights in today’s America. The Civil Rights Act for Equal Educational Opportunity will mandate equitable funding for children in non-public schools, while respecting the liberty of schools in hiring and provision of services. In accordance with the 10th Amendment, academic standards and means of funding would be left to the states. This legislation will restore the right of parents to raise their children without government interference, and vastly improve the quality and efficiency of education by force of competition. With improved education will come improvements throughout society. Please support this urgently needed legislation, and help restore our freedom.
