A new Sutherland Institute report argues parents should have primary authority over what children learn about faith, health, and gender identity in schools and other settings. The report comes as Utah and other states with large LDS populations debate parental rights legislation and school curriculum standards. The religiously oriented think tank frames the issue as protecting family autonomy against institutional overreach.
