In \u003ci\u003eEvery Man’s Home a Castle\u003c\/i\u003e, Julia Bowes traces the origins of the modern parental rights movement to the nineteenth century, when the introduction of compulsory schooling laws, child labour regulations, and vaccine requirements provoked a resistance rooted in the presumed right of white men to govern their homes. A wide-ranging coalition – including Irish Catholic immigrants in Illinois, Mormon enclaves in Utah, and Protestant clergy in Virginia – believed that the state had usurped the 'natural rights' of parents and 'invaded the home'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBowes shows how, by the turn of the century, those disparate voices had coalesced into national conservative movements. Anti-vaccinationists, alternative medical practitioners, and parents who opposed compulsory school medical exams joined forces to form the National League for Medical Freedom. Deciding a case brought by conservative Catholic lawyers, the Supreme Court declared parental rights a 'fundamental liberty' protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. And the Sentinels of the Republic, a conservative citizen’s lobby, mobilised a campaign to defeat the proposed federal Child Labour Amendment, bringing together pro-family and free-market politics with far-reaching consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring the emergence of parental rights as an antistatist ideology through legal cases, legislative debates, an\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41860256071813,"sku":"PR435647","price":78.7,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TTGDOEQM15ZA.jpg?v=1789124760","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/every-mans-home-a-castle","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
