What about private schools?
No mention of private schools. But the ruling makes clear that the court considers the public school system to be the highest authority and all must bow down before it.
I wonder why not?
If the parents have no right to control the content of education then the government should have no right to force them to pay for it. It is taxation without representation, the stuff of revolution if History serves.
9th circus court of liberals strikes again.
Utter BS.
I hope this can be appealed to SCOTUS, and they accept. This is utter, liberal, homophilic, abortophilic nonsense.
I don't get it. Abortion is covered by the right to privacy, but asking little kids about their sexual thoughts isn't?
";......Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the interrogations to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."
Schools should be about learning Math, English, Science, etc. Anthing else is out of line and over the line. No wonder our kids are behind so much. They go to school to learn and all they get is thiss B___t. That is NOT the right of the school to ask these questions. It is NOT right. That kind of thing should be addressed in the home at the proper time. This is nonsense at its fullest and it's time this is addressed and resolved. What in the hell is the matter with this court anyway? I'd pull my kids out of there in a heartbeat at the first sign of anything like that in schools. No way..no how would I EVER submit my kids to this kind of garbage. And that's exactly what it is...garbage.
Maybe a lot of people can pulll their kids out and send them elsewhere but...what of those who cannot? They are being held captive and it's not the American way!
Yesterday's thread:

Court says parents not sole providers of kids' sex education
Well... as long as people such as myself SINGLE RENTERS are paying the transfer payments to the democratic babymachinemakers' edumacation, we should have absolutely no say in the deal. I mean... a 30-year-old, 100 pound female takes up so much more of the public school system than the babymamas' 12 chil'en and should therefore get the gov't to stick a pipe into our wallets for them. THAT'S FAIR.
Public schools and the courts sink even further into the mire.
Just when you think they can't go any lower...
We've got to figure out a way to sue such idiots for 100 million dollars each, or something. Judicial activism like this should be a felony, or treason, or a crime against humaninty, or something.
They need accountability, and if they step over the line, they should regret it. I'm not satisfied with a simple reversal - they should be de-frocked.
Explain the activism? The judges are saying that the constitution does not explicitly state that parents have some rights.
The legislature has passed a law, the the judges are saying that, absent that law being unconstitutional, they are going to enforce the law.
Shouldn't we be fighting to change the law, or are we saying that the justices should find an unenumerated constitutional right of parents to control what their children learn in school?
I have mixed feelings about this, but I would like to understand how this is activist.
The parents can elect representatives that will change the laws and change the curriculum. The court is saying that individual parents don't have the constitutional right to pick and choose what a school teaches their children.
I assume they have the right to take their children out of public school, and put them in private school or home-school.
If we keep getting rulings like this, it should help the push for vouchers, which are the real solution. We will NEVER get public schools to cater to the whims of all parents, I bet that even among conservatives we would have a huge fight over prayer in schools and teaching evolution, for example.
Vouchers meet the need for universal access to schooling, without forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
No mention of the Hatch Amendment?
Since I believe mathematics to be the tool of the Devil I object to it being taught to children.
We need to break up the 9th circuit - remember these are democrat values. The dems can hide but they cant run from the people who love them but hate families, children, christians, and values.
