Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
“Parents have the right to be involved in major decisions affecting their children’s lives. This case presents an opportunity for the U.S. Supreme Court to provide much-needed clarity and reaffirm that government officials cannot override parents’ fundamental rights simply because they believe they know better,” Miyares said on Monday. “It is essential that schools work with parents, not against them, to support a child’s well-being.
A district court and the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the parents’ complaint as “lacking standing.” “The district’s policy also hopelessly conflicts with constitutionally protected parental rights. Parents, not administrators, have the responsibility and right to raise their children,” the attorneys general wrote in the amicus brief.
The attorneys general added in the brief, “This Court’s intervention is needed to bring clarity, before more parents and children are injured.”Miyares has seen numerous parental rights battles in his own commonwealth, where parents in northern Virginia inspired a nationwide movement fighting their school boards over school lockdowns, curriculum disputes, the hiding of sexual assaults in schools, the targeting of parents, and the implementation of gender ideology.
Recently, state lawmakers, including Republican Del. Dave LaRock and state Sen. John McGuire, the current Republican nominee for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, fought to implement the parental rights legislation called Sage’s Law, which would have provided parental consent about a child’s gender transition. The legislation is named after a teenage girl who became the victim of sex trafficking and sexual assault after the school hid her gender dysphoria from her parents.
