Official abstract published by the Missouri legislature· abstract
SJR 69 - This proposed constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, provides that the government shall not deny or infringe upon a parent's fundamental right to participate in and direct the education of his or her child, including, but not limited to, the right to home school or otherwise educate a child outside of the public school system free from government regulation, regardless of whether the parent receives financial assistance from the government for purposes of educating a child; the right to access the curricula and lesson plans of the public school and school district in which a child is enrolled; the right to educate a child in a public school that does not teach students or train teachers on critical race theory or diversity-equity-inclusion; and the right to educate a child in a public school that is not required to conform its curriculum to statewide learning standards, as provided in the amendment.
This proposed constitutional amendment is substantially similar to SJR 6 (2025).
