Our Religious Beliefs Must be Acknowledged, Respected & Protected.
To reinstate parental rights to OPT-OUT from Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) instructional material that conflicts with students' religious beliefs as set forth in the First Amendment of the US Constitution and to counter any attempts to limit our right to religious freedom.
We are a grassroots parent action committee working to form a coalition to make sure that our religious freedoms, as set forth in the first amendment of the US Constitution, are protected. We are striving to educate our children based on the teachings of our religion and are opposed to anyone infringing on these rights. We are looking for support in the form of volunteers and coalition members. More importantly we need people of conscience who are willing to take action to protect our freedoms.
