An article in today\u2019s Boston Globe by Dana Goldstein, “New school laws have unintended consequences in Fla.: bureaucracy,” reports on unintended consequences of Florida’s \u201cParental Rights in Education Act.\u201d The Globe picked up this article from the New York Times, which ran it on Wed., Jan. 10 \u2014 here’s a free version of the article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Florida’s new law, many school districts are now requiring permission slips for what used to be routine matters. For example, some school districts are now require permission forms for putting a band-aid on a child, because the new law requires that parents be able to opt out of health care services for their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result, according to Goldstein, is increased paperwork: \u201cEducators across the state say recent laws and regulations around parental consent have created an entirely new bureaucracy, filled with forms and nagging phone calls to parents.\u201d Goldstein goes on to report: \u201cWhile no state has gone as far as Florida with parental consent requirements, dozens of states are considering bills inspired by Florida\u2019s laws.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t expect many new laws requiring parental consent for religious education programs. Nevertheless, one result of law like this is that parents are coming to expect to be allowed to exercise more granular control over their children\u2019s experiences. Congregations are going to have to be increasingly sensitive to parent expectations \u2014 and congregations are going to face an increasing paperwork burden as they track parent consent on a widening range of matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
