This week the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said simply, "There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children." In doing so, the most overruled appeals court in the land, in essence, spit in the face of parents who seek to bring up their children, "in the way they should go."
The case involved a California public-school survey that asked children – among other things – "if they ever thought about having sex or touching other people's 'private parts' and whether they could 'stop thinking about having sex.'"
Parents who had been offended at this gross invasion of privacy into the lives of first, third, and fifth graders, had sought legal action to force educators in California to stop such highly inappropriate questioning. The parents maintained that they had the right to be the sole judge over who educated their children in sexual matters.
But in defiance of common sense and the sensibility of good parents everywhere, the arrogant 9th U.S. Circuit said, "there is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children ... Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."
In other words, conscientious parents are not only not welcomed, they are illegal.
The court went on to add, "no such specific right can be found in the deep roots of the nation's history and tradition or implied in the concept of ordered liberty."
It is clear that the courts have no regard for the intent and wishes of parents in the exposure of young people to sexual matters. But the court ruling takes it a step beyond just the survey. It is clear that the outcome of the court's ruling will be that parents now have no right to protest what a public educator says, displays, teaches, or instructs about sex to their children.
Since the ruling affects nearly a third of the U.S. schools throughout those states covered by the 9th Circuit, it will have an unprecedented upper hand in pushing an aggressive sexual envelope, at least for a period of time. Should an appeal be slow in coming, the court may have mandated the robbery of your child's innocence and you get no say in the matter.
The arrogance of the ruling is consistent with the leftist leaning that the federal courts have become famous for. Their belief in the total depravity of parents, while seeing the courts as institutions whose rulings are on par with sacred texts, has laid the foundation for the eventual takeover of the complete moral training of our children ... by the state.
This must not be allowed to remain law. The risk to our culture, not to mention our families, is beyond reason.
In the land of "We The People," we must never allow the socialists to overrule the family when it comes to the matters that we hold most sacred, important and healthy.
It's nobody's business if my child has ever desired to touch another person's genitals. Public educators certainly cannot be trusted with such psychologically explosive and sexually suggestive material.
Something truly perverted sits atop the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and I'm ashamed to acknowledge them as an actual legal court in the United States of America.

Kevin McCullough MEGA PING!
Folks, blasting the eminent domain decision didn't do much though did it.
No property rights! No parental rights! Time to reign in the 9th Circus!
Time to show these judges to a tall tree.
I don't think the ruling implies that at all. Parents can protest whatever they want to ... they just can't expect courts in the 9th Circuit area to back them up.
I don't know why anyone is surprised. When you accept the government's "free" "services," you have to know you're playing their game, not yours.
Coincidentally Tony Snow filling in for Bill O'R was just reading some of the questions on this survey.
First graders! How absurd!
Thanks for the post, Johnny.
No decency in government
It is time to force those tyrannical pigs off the courts and out of this country! Iran should welcome them with open arms.
Time to ask Clair Wolfe if we're there yet!
Don't those lib's see the correlation between their actions and Adolf Hitler's youth?????
Exactly -- the people that thought up these questions for kids, and those that think it's OK to give the surveys don't belong anywhere where they come in contact with (or influence) young people.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
sickos and the parents should be screaming from the highest rooftops. Hope they are.
They don't like it when you point that out to them.
Are you kidding me?
It did TONS. It might not be in the Constitution, so says the not-so-bright side of the SC (Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, Bryer and Stevents), but many states have already passed laws essentially doing what should have been in the Constitution, as well as the Federal Government passing laws that any state that does it gets the finnantial beatstick from the feds.
So...let me see if I get this....
The USSC finds a "Right to Abortion" in the "Penumbra" and expands the 14th Ammendment in order to achieve the results they pre-determined...
But the "Right to Privacy" does NOT extend to Parents and their rights to raise their child accordingly?
Do I understand this? You can kill a child in the womb, but you can't have any say in his upbringing? And Dad's have no right to know if their child is being aborted (Penn Law that Alito tried to uphold...the pro-Death crowd is using this as a weapon against Alito's confirmation).
I think a National "No Justice, No TAXES" day/week/month/year might be in order...along with a stout rope and a convenient tree branch...until we either get justioce (Overturn Kelo, and impeaching the 9th Circus is a start, along with a "review" of Roe...)
No more Nazguls...EVER!
