Three out of four campaign co-
chairs represent some of the
harshest and intolerant forces in
American society today. Mr.
Buchanan has moderated his
strident rhetoric, but his cam-
paign roster leads to a legitimate
suspicion that the new modera-
tion is more for show than for
real.

Parental Rights
Cause A Hap
Almost unnoticed in what is al-
ready a record-shattering Con-
gress is the effort to pass a
Parental Rights and Responsibil-
ities Act, the national version of
laws that are sprouting in state-
houses around the country.
That effort could be especially
destructive to the families that
promoters insist it will help, ac-
cording to a Jewish group that is
working hard to fend off the mul-
ti-pronged assault by Christian
right groups.
Currently, there are ballot ini-
tiatives or bills on the subject in
27 states; in Washington, a mea-
sure has been introduced by Sen.
Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and
Rep. Steven Largent, R-Okla.,
with strong backing from the
Christian Coalition.
The measure codifies parental
authority in raising children, and
gives parents more of a veto
power over official intervention in
schpols and other institutions.
`The language of the bill is very
broad," said Deena Margolis, leg-
islative associate for the Nation-
al Council of Jewish Women. "It
will make it much harder to pur-
sue child abuse cases; it will have
major implications on sex educa-
tion and abortion education."
The measure could also limit
the government's ability to require
vaccinations against infectious dis-
ease, and complicate the jobs of
educators by giving parents more
power to reject programs and cur-
riculum materials deemed to
teach moral values.
Some Evangelical groups have
crusaded for years against child
abuse laws, which they argue lim-
it legitimate corporal punishment;
the federal legislation and the var-
ious state versions would raise the
standards for evidence in child
abuse cases, Ms. Margolis said,
and switch the burden of proof
from the parents to the govern-
ment.
On Capitol Hill, the parental
rights bill is expected to pick up
steam as Republican leaders turn
their focus back to the Christian
Coalition's Contract with the
American Family, which includ-
ed the controversial measure as a
key plank.
