About Us
Parenting Over Policy in Douglas County, CO was created in 2014 by a group of parents persevering to protect our undeniable rights to choose what is best for out children's education. We are dedicated to protecting parental rights in education against Common Core Standards, bringing awareness to the data mining invading our student's privacy, and challenging the necessity of high stakes state mandated testing. The focus of Parenting Over Policy is on education. Our children attend all kinds of schools. We have public school parents, and private school parents; some of our parents are even brave enough to homeschool their kids. We are soccer Moms and basketball Dads, Grandmas who still drive, and Grandpas who shouldn't. As much as today's education seems to be government driven, we pride ourselves on reaching across the aisles and we try to put political differences aside in favor of supporting our children and parental rights. We advocate for our students and teachers and we educate our community on topics that are near and dear to our hearts, our children's education.
There are not any big corporations or prestigious organizations funding our purpose. We are a group of parents who are informed and who are passionate about sharing what we have learned with others.
We host community meetings, share our knowledge over coffee, testify down at The Capitol in support of our children and rally the troops to make public comment at local and state school board meetings if and when they are needed to support our cause.
