The 1st Circuit just held that parents have no right to know about their 11-year-old changing gender in school. This "unwritten policy" was viewed as overriding parental rights. The decision is defended as a reflection of our "pluralistic society"...ca1.uscourts.gov/sites/ca1/file… ...The court wrote: "our pluralistic society assigns those curricular and administrative decisions to the expertise of school officials, charged with the responsibility of educating children." There is no more cherished right that citizens possess than raising their children... ...Indeed, the right to raise one's children according to your own faith and values is the touchstone of freedom. Conversely, the subordination of such rights is the harbinger of state tyranny... ...True pluralism allows families with different norms and values to thrive. Public schools are effectively demanding that parents give up their rights to critical aspects of rearing their children as a condition for public education. It is a virtual slogan for school choice.
