Parental Rights Amendment Masks Deeper Secularist Assault on Divine Order
The Catholic News Agency (November 5, 2025) reports Texas voters approved Proposition 15, enshrining parental rights in the state constitution with 72% support. The amendment declares parents’ authority over children’s upbringing while imposing a duty to “nurture and protect” them. The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops endorsed the measure as recognizing “the natural right of parents to direct their children’s upbringing,” though some Democrats and the True Texas Project criticized it as either threatening child protections or redundantly codifying God-given rights. The amendment takes immediate effect upon certification.
