The IMFC is a non-partisan think tank that compiles the latest social science research to help guide public policy in the areas of marriage and family. It recommends that parents, as “primary” educators, should be actively involved in their children’s education and that they should hold school boards and trustees accountable for “ensuring equity strategies encourage diversity of thought and opinion.”
