Left disregards parental authority thrice in a week. Kids belong to all.

Are Democrats Trying to Trample on Parental Rights?

Recent Examples of Encroachment

Have you noticed that Democrats and the Left at large are increasingly brazen in their attempt to trample on all parental rights and authority? This past week alone, we saw three examples of this encroachment from the executive branch all the way down to a Florida teacher.

• White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made the bold claim last Saturday night that states which have banned sex-denial surgery and other gender-rejection care require an all-hands-on-deck response.
• Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona tweeted, “Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day. We must trust teachers.”
• Jenna Barbee, a fifth-grade teacher in Florida’s Hernando County School District, had some thoughts on when parental rights start and end this week.

These three examples are just in the past seven days. For critics who say these were just expressions, it should be noted there are Democrat-led laws around the country that are undermining parents — especially those who don’t believe in radical gender ideology.

Parents Know Best

Parents obviously took umbrage with the film featuring LGBTQ themes that Barbee showed in class. But Barbee argued that “those rights are gone when your child is in the public school system because there are students talking about these things.”

Well, no parental rights end just because their children step into a public school. Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) had a pretty concise response to that collectivist crap. “Parents know what is best for THEIR kids,” he tweeted. “They are THE most important voice in their child’s education — period.”

Child Mutilation is Abuse

Perhaps the response is “historic” because it seems like the Left is attempting to convince the world that child mutilation is good and changing “genders” is real for the first time in history en masse. Regardless, laws banning the practice are needed. My kids are my kids, your kids are your kids. Likewise, child mutilation is to “health care” as burning your kid’s hand on a stove is to “discipline.” It’s abuse.
