The State Wants Control of Your Kids

They know better than mere parents what is best for the children. From The Federalist - Maine Mom Sues School Board For Child's 'Gender Transition'

Now I don't have kids, but even I recognize that this is insane. A whole lot of hubris, but mostly insane.

Attorneys for the conservative advocacy group, the Goldwater Institute, are suing the Great Salt Bay Community School Board, the counselor, and other school officials on behalf of Lavigne. In February, the institute asked the school board to investigate the social worker’s actions, as well as adopt a policy that notifies parents of any decision made that will affect their child’s physical or mental health. The school refused to engage with Goldwater and instead put out statements saying all protocol was being followed. Yesterday, the institute filed a lawsuit against the school for violating the U.S. Constitution by refusing to notify Lavigne.

“The Supreme Court has repeatedly held, over the last century, that parents have a fundamental right to control and direct the education, upbringing, and healthcare decisions of their children,” Adam Shelton, the Goldwater Institute’s lead attorney on the case, said.

Your child belongs to the state. Shut up and do what we tell you to do. Or just shut up.
