Ohio Law

The Church has always affirmed the primary right and duty of parents to educate their children. The new Catechism of the Catholic Church
(1994) makes the following statements:
• #2221 The right and the duty of parents to educate their
children is primordial and inalienable.
• #2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the
education of their children.
• #2225 Through the sacrament of marriage, parents
receive the responsibility and privilege of evangelizing
their children.
• #2229 As those first responsible for the education of
their children, parents have the right to choose a school
for them which corresponds to their own convictions.
This right is fundamental.
•
The Charter Rights of the Family issued by the Vatican in 1983
makes this statement: “Since they have conferred life on their children,
parents have the original, primary and inalienable right to educate
