The Patriot Post® · Supreme Court Protects Kids From School Groomers

It’s hard to believe how far we have fallen as a country when a parent is forced to go to the highest court of the land to ask that he be allowed to raise his son according to his biological sex. It doesn’t just border on the absurd, it is absurd. Who would have thought we would ever get to the point where we have to defend scientific fact and biological reality in court?

It defies reason and logic. But cults always defy reason and logic, which is what makes the whole transgender nonsense a cult. We are now at the point where we must defend science and a reality that has been true since the dawn of time as a religious belief. As President Donald Trump correctly pointed out at his State of the Union Address when Democrats refused to stand for a detransitioner from the cult, “These people are crazy!”

Thank goodness we at least still have six people on the bench of the highest court in the land who are sane enough to agree that parents should not be forced to raise their child in a manner that opposes their religious beliefs. The concerning part is that there are three justices who dissented from the ruling and agree with the fantasy that a person can become the opposite sex. The Supreme Court sided with a group of parents who objected to California polices that promoted schools keeping parents in the dark about their kids’ “transitions.”

This 6-3 ruling follows the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision striking down a lower court’s ruling siding with parents challenging California’s policies.

The Supreme Court majority stated, “We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim. The parents who assert a free exercise claim have sincere religious beliefs about sex and gender, and they feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance with those beliefs. California’s policies violate those beliefs.”

The Department of Education in California attempted to argue that, since its frequently-asked-questions page had been edited to state that it doesn’t mandate that schools exclude parents in those situations, the parents’ challenge is invalidated. The DOE may have removed the liability language, but the problematic California policies remain, such as the one signed by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, which prevents local school districts from passing measures requiring teachers to inform parents of their child’s “transition.”

The majority expressed their opinion on that, noting, “Gender dysphoria is a condition that has an important bearing on a child’s mental health, but when a child exhibits symptoms of gender dysphoria at school, California’s policies conceal that information from parents and facilitate a degree of gender transitioning during school hours. These policies likely violate parents’ rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children.”

It is necessary to point out another salient and key statement made by the Supreme Court in this ruling: “Under long-established precedent, parents — not the State — have primary authority with respect to ‘the upbringing and education of children.’” This is not only crucial for the well-being of the child, but also for maintaining a free society. Breaking down cultural norms, which includes tearing down the family, comes directly from the communist playbook. The more they can increase dependence on the state or government, the more power they can wield.

The communist goal, as Jesse Kelly explains in his book The Anti-Communist Manifesto, is to indoctrinate the children into the communist religion through “education” in schools and then sever the relationship between parents and their children. They teach them to identify primarily as members of a group rather than as individuals, which then undermines national identity and makes them more interested in radical cultural change than in preservation. Kelly writes, “It’s not enough for children to accept communism: they must also reject the alternative. To this end, the communist seeks to sever the bond between parent and child.”

This is why commies in states like California, Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, and others are not only enacting polices that restrict parents of their rightful authority regarding their children, but also pushing policies that are harmful to children. The Supreme Court smacked down a case out of a county in Maryland, where parents were being blocked from opting their kids out of LGBT instruction in school, ruling that a violation of parental rights. Virginia’s new “moderate” Governor Abigail Spanberger supports hiding a child’s “transition” from their parents, voted to allow men to compete in women’s sports, and voted against keeping books with porn and radical gender ideology out of schools.

It is clear that the communists don’t care about your children.

This ruling gives us hope that the tide of the cultural war is turning and that there is still some common sense left in the country, but this will be an uphill battle and a long one. However, it is imperative that we don’t give up the fight to restore sanity and morality; not only do our children’s lives and future depend on it, but our nation’s as well.
