Are we at peak insanity yet?

[BenLurkin]

The time has come for separation of school and state.

No parent has directly expressed their anger over this. Until someone does, the insanity will continue to escalate.

More importantly, a federal right of minors to privacy from their parents does not exist. “A minor’s right to privacy is traditionally held by the parents,” Will Estrada, president of the Parental Rights Foundation.

Many states grant minors privacy rights from parents in matters related to sex. Abortion, birth control, treatment for STDs. The federal government has not overruled the states in these matters before.

We are not likely to find help from federal lawmakers or courts, and if we do,it comes at a cost to the principles of federalism

"In Dover, Pennsylvania, for example, a mother of a middle school student castigated a local school board after discovering that school staff had been addressing her 12-year-old daughter with male pronouns for a year. School officials even sent the child to a hospital for an evaluation without informing the parents. When the mother confronted the school board, she was told that there was a law against informing her."

It took her a year to find out? Friends who were around at the home weren't using the same misguided pronouns? That is some seriously distracted parenting.

Here the fix, lady: Lighthouse Christian School or York Adventist Christian School or Holy Trinity or Country Day. Wake up and smell the frog burning, you foolish woman.

Some states and some parents are saying Hell No! Not with my/our kids.

Louisiana joins a number of states who have woken up to what’s happening to their kids:

Laws restricting the procedures for minors have spread across the country, with 17 states besides Louisiana so far this year placing their own laws on the books – though the legality of such bans is under intense scrutiny as federal judges last month temporary blocked laws in Tennessee, Indiana and Kentucky, while a 2021 law in Arkansas was struck down outright and deemed unconstitutional.*

Democratic governors have pushed back on Republican-led efforts to restrict the treatments with varying degrees of success – Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly successfully blocked a ban while state lawmakers overrode Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto.

Good for Louisiana and all the other state legislatures. Sex surgeries on minors aren’t only immoral, they’re not supported by science, much less common sense. Now we just have to hope some woke court doesn’t overturn this law.*
