Excerpt from The Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session on S. 984; A Bill to Protect the Fundamental Right of a Parent to Direct the Upb The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:03 a.m., in room SD-226, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Charles E. Grassley (chairman of the subcommittee), presiding. Also present: Senators Thurmond, DeWine, Heflin, and Representative Largent. Opening Statement of Hon. Charles E. Grassley, A U.S. Senator From the State of Lowa Senator Grassley. I will call the hearing to order. I will start with my opening statement, and hopefully others come that want to give opening statements will be able to do that as well. I appreciate the Congressman being here on time. I like to start these meetings on time as much as I can. I am pleased to be holding these hearings today, and I thank the large number of people who are in attendance on this very important issue of the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act of 1995. This bill reaffirms the right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children. Now, as we all know, most parents assume this right is protected, and it is just kind of common and ordinary for people to come up to me and say, well, why would we have this problem when we just assume in American society that parents are responsible and parents have these rights. Then they learn in so many instances, in a growing number of instances, where lower courts or faceless bureaucrats have acted to limit this basic freedom that people can't just quite fathom how something so basic could be under attack in American society. Well, they are learning that it is under attack, and we have a lot of people present today who have experienced this, and there are a lot of people who would say, well, it really isn't under attack; this is assuming a problem that doesn't exist. Well, we accept the fact that parents have this right and this responsibility, and we also accept the fact that the Supreme Court very clearly affirmed this.
