FORGET PARENTS’ RIGHTS

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 8, 2023
THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN AMERICA THESE DAYS IS INCREASINGLY AGAINST PARENTS AND FOR THE FAR-LEFT LIBERAL AGENDA.
SOME RECENT EXAMPLES. THE CHINO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARD RECENTLY VOTED 4-1 TO REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO INFORM PARENTS IF THEIR CHILD REQUESTS TO USE A DIFFERENT NAME FROM WHAT IS ON THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, OR TO BE REFERRED TO BY OPPOSITE SEX OR NONSTANDARD PRONOUNS.
CALIFORNIA’S ATTORNEY GENERAL IS SUING THE SCHOOL BOARD. HE CONTENDS THAT CHINO VALLEY’S POLICY VIOLATES STUDENTS’ PROTECTIVE RIGHT TO “INFORMATIONAL PRIVACY” UNDER THE STATE CONSTITUTION. UNDER THIS NOVEL LEGAL THEORY, TEACHERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO NOTIFY PARENTS OF MISBEHAVIOR OR BULLYING. REPORT CARDS MIGHT ALSO BE FOUND TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
IN NEW YORK STATE, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTS SCHOOLS TO KEEP INFORMATION ABOUT A CHILD’S GENDER IDENTIFY FROM PARENTS. THE POLICY STATES “STUDENTS ARE IN CHARGE OF THEIR GENDER TRANSITION AND THE SCHOOL’S ROLE IS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT.”
NO IT ISN’T. THE SCHOOL’S ROLE IS TO TEACH AND LEAVE THE REST TO PARENTS.
HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS WILL PARENTS PUT UP WITH BEFORE THEY JOIN A GROWING EXODUS FROM THESE RE-EDUCATIOIN CAMPS? I’M CAL THOMAS.
