Court Gone Mad! 9th Circuit Court Rules Against Parents By Sharon Hughes
The new ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stating, "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," has Californians in an uproar, and rightfully so! The liberal ninth district court known for it's legislating from the bench, such as in the recent case where the court ruled the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional because it contains the words 'under God', dismissed a lawsuit by California parents on November 3, 2005 who were sued the school district because a sex survey with inappropriate, nosey questions was given to children in the first, third and fifth grades. The survey was administered by the Palmdale School District and asked students questions such as if they ever thought about having sex or touching other people's "private parts" and whether they could "stop thinking about having sex. Other questions in the survey involved:
Touching my private parts too much
Washing myself because I feel dirty on the inside
Not trusting people because they might want sex
Getting scared or upset when I think about sex
Having sex feelings in my body
Can't stop thinking about sex
Getting upset when people talk about sex
The parents argued that they have the sole right "to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex." But the three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit dismissed their case with Judge Stephen Reinhardt writing for the panel, "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."
Can you believe this? It is absolutely outrageous! And if that weren't enough...The superintendent of the California school district involved in the 9th Circuit Court ruling questioned the motives of the parents involved in the case.
The same day House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi sided with the ninth court opposing a Republican plan to split the liberal, San Francisco-based court in two. The Democrats are not happy that this made it's way into a must-pass House budget reconciliation bill.
This is no small matter. Just because their rulings are so over the top doesn't mean they won't set precedence that could make it harder and harder for pro-family Americans to win cases involving other constitutional laws and violations. The Ninth Circuit is the largest of all the U.S. circuit courts covering nine states.
This only highlights the importance of what kind of judges sit on the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court.

What does it take to impeach them all? Is there any recourse citizens have to remove these judges?
I know this is not the FIRST post on this matter.. but I found this article interesting...
First grade is way too you for kids to be thinking and talking about sex. Why plant ideas in their minds at that age?
First grade is way too young for kids to be thinking and talking about sex. Why plant ideas in their minds at that age?
If the 9th CIRCUS has their way YOU as parent have no right to decide that question for your child...
What the heck, one more article about this freaking sick insanity won't hurt.
Later pingout.
1st? God, I remember being in 5th grade waaaaay back in 1985 and questions like that would have led to beffudlement even then...that was when kids my age were still trying to figure out if being called a viring was an insult or not (and even the kids throwing it around as a perjorative didn't know!).

House panel OKS provision to divide 9th Circuit Court

I wonder what DU is saying about this.
I have found so many on DU to be frightfully naive - they are socialists, hate Bush, yadda yadda yadda, and then they are amazed at things like Kelo vs. New London or people losing their rights to socialism.
Not most of them, of course, but enough to make me shake my head. I bet a few of them are quite upset at this and can't figure out how it happened.
The only words that come to mind other than, "sickos", is, "HOMESCHOOL YOUR CHILDREN, OR FIND A PRIVATE SCHOOL THAT RESPECTS THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS!".
One of MANY reasons why we homeschool...
Okay, I will bite, what is a viring?

Dems Oppose Republican Move to Split the Ninth Circuit

(CNSNews.com) - On a day when another "activist" ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had conservatives fuming, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi stood up for the court, opposing a Republican plan to split it in two.
A Republican proposal to split the liberal, San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has made its way into a must-pass House budget reconciliation bill, much to Democrats' dismay.
The Ninth Circuit covers nine states and is the largest of all U.S. circuit courts. Nicknamed the "Ninth Circus" by conservative critics, it is the same court that ruled the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional because of the phrase "under God."
Earlier this week, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled that parents have no "fundamental right' to protest what public schools tell their children about sex. The case stemmed from a sex survey given to elementary school children in Palmdale, Calif.
The conservative group Focus on the Family called Wednesday's ruling "one of the most abhorrent examples of judicial tyranny in American history."
But on Thursday, House Minority Leader Pelosi said Republicans, in trying to split the Ninth Circuit, are attacking "an independent judiciary."
"On the merits, there is no justification for the Republican court splitting proposal. It is simply a partisan exercise to appease the radical right," Pelosi said in a press release.
Pelosi said the move to split the court would come at "tremendous cost" to U.S. taxpayers. "This proposal is simply unacceptable, and I will continue to oppose it," she added.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) this week warned House Republicans not to include split-the-court language in the budget reconciliation bill. She said the split would be unfair, because a newly configured Ninth Circuit would have many more cases per judge than a newly created Twelfth Circuit.
Moreover, Feinstein said, a court-splitting provision has nothing to do with the budget and therefore should not be included in the budget bill. She said she would raise a point of order if the language were included.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering a proposal to split the Ninth Circuit in two, something that would require President Bush to appoint more judges.
The new Ninth Circuit would include California, Hawaii, Guam, and the North Marianas Islands, while the new Twelfth Circuit would cover Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.
Your children are blessed to have parents who are willing to take on the challenges of homeschooling. We did so as well, and it was the best gift we ever gave them.
