The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday against parents who sued their local school district after their elementary-age children were given a sexually charged survey, saying there is "no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children."

Government indoctrination camps. Period.

Another brilliant decision by the ninth circus.

saying there is "no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children."

I suppose now the schools will invite Larry Flint as a guest speaker.

Not really. This case has been posted and reposted and reposted and reposted and reposted.

Well there isn't a constitutional argument (that I can think of) that says schools can't teach whatever they want. It's left up to the locally elected offiicials.

If you don't like it vote and encourage others to vote for different people. Move. Or home-school (which in Cali is getting tougher and tougher).

That would be good. I wonder why these guys listen to these kinds of cases.

lively discussion, same subject, different article, same facts, from yesterday

Sounds like a clear violation of the Hatch Amendment. However, if the parents gave consent, they can't revoke it after the fact. They should have been informed as to the content of the survey, and if not informed they should have asked, or refused consent.

"no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children."

Providing information to the student is one thing. This "survey" solicited sexual information from these children and violated their privacy. What this has to do with education, I have no idea.

The Sex Positive agenda at work. Seeking to make everyone sexually active at every age (including childhood) and seeking to eliminate all moral judgements over sexual activity including choice of partner regardless of age, sex, relation, marital status, number, or species.

Thank Dr. Kinsey.

How do you expect the homosexual recruiters and the perverts to be able to know which kids are susceptible without these little aids? Its always great to get this info so they know which kid to work on. they have 12 years to turn your kids into perverts.

9th circus has a fundamental right to be broken up and divided.

[cubreporter]

Then take your children out of that school. Period!!! Do not support it.

[conservative physics]

can someone of your opinion please explain to me then why a parent has the right to tell the school not to paddle their child?

Oh, look - the 9th circuit. How appropriate. When you can predict what the outcome will be, it seems to me there is absolutely no use for a 9th circuit court.
