25. Actually it is a Fundamental Right to Raise your Child Case

Tue Dec 4, 2012, 06:42 PM

Dec 2012

The Supreme Court, as early as the 1920s found that it was a Fundamental Right of Parents to raise they children as they see fit, with the narrow exception if what the parents are doing is clearly harmful to the children. It is thus one of the un-enumerated rights under the Bill of Rights. An un-enumerated right is a right that existed at the time the Bill of Rights were passed, but were NOT mentioned in the actual Bill of Rights. This includes the Right to Privacy and even the Right to an Abortion among other un-enumerated rights the courts have found since the passage of the post Civil War Amendments (the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments) that ended up extending the Bill of Rights to the States.
