An amendment something along the lines of: "A parent's right to direct the upbringing and education of their child(ren) shall not be infringed." might be a good idea. With, perhaps, a modifier regarding adoption and wards of the state.
It seems unlikely that such a thing would have occurred to the founders (foresighted as they were.)because, in their time, it was a fairly recent thing that children were considered to be the "chattle" of their fathers/parents rather than that of the crown. They probably didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to give up such authority.
