Thanks for that info. I've read and am looking for links that the Supreme Court has made past decisions which upheld parental rights in matters such as the child's welfare. I wonder if this First Circuit court ruling was appealed?
I don't know if it was appealed. Considering the caliber of US Supreme Court justices and some of their flaky rulings, maybe it's best if something like this is just left alone even if the outcome isn't what the plaintiffs wanted.
I neglected to add this when I copied:
"Virtually all public school districts in the U.S. receive federal funds. So H.R. 1691 would once again level the playing field for parents who, for reasons of religious conscience, wish to have their child "opt out" of objectionable instruction such as this."
There is an opt out provision and schools can now lose federal funds if they force this nonsense on their students, but it looks like it has to be for "religious reasons." Well, what if a parent isn't religious, but still doesn't want their kid subjected to this garbage? Who decides -- the parents or the school?
I can see why homeschooling is growing year by year. It's just so much easier, for both parents and children.
