A federal trial court recently awarded a custody victory, upholding parental rights in the face of efforts by radical LGBT activists to take away parental rights and indoctrinate other people's children.
Megan Williams, a first-grade teacher in Pennsylvania, forces her young students to “observe” so-called Transgender Awareness Day and educates 6- and 7-year-olds about “gender identity” and gender transition. The curriculum was advertised.
Ms. Williams, a Black Lives Matter activist who had her son, then a first grader, go so far as to tell sensitive children, “Parents, do more, more, more.''[d]Guess if they are a boy or a girl,” but I could have been wrong.
Parents complained of this secret effort to confuse and indoctrinate their children, as they had no notice or veto power. however, major The superintendent of Jefferson Elementary School and the now-retired assistant superintendent of the Mount Lebanon School District also supported Williams.
“Parents have a constitutionally protected liberty interest in the care, custody, and control of their children, including their education.''
Ostensibly with no other choice, the three mothers (a Catholic, a Mormon, and a nonreligious woman, all of whom believe that biological sex and gender are inseparable) went to Mr. Williams, the school, A lawsuit was filed against the school district and school district employees. It will be established in June 2022 in cooperation with the legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom.
Parents called for a moratorium on school district guidance “on gender dysphoria and transgender transition.” In the absence of such a prohibition, parental notification and right to opt-out regarding the topic. Compensation for damages. and punitive damages.
parents' complaint At the outset, it states that “Parents have a constitutionally protected liberty interest in the care, custody, and control of their children, including their education,'' and the “freedoms'' protected by the Due Process Clause include: The U.S. Supreme Court emphasized that the United States Supreme Court included Parents' right to control their children's education [children] It states that parents have the right to “direct the upbringing and education of their children under their own control.”
“I'm on the right side here.”
Last week, Judge Joy Conti of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania largely agreed. dominated It is in their favor and emphasizes that:
Parents have a constitutional right to reasonable and practical advance notice, and they have the right to choose non-curricular instruction about transgender topics for their elementary-aged children, and they have a right to choose non-curricular instruction on transgender topics for their elementary-age children, and they have a right to choose less severe notice and less formal guidance on transgender topics than on other sensitive topics. Does not have an opt-out requirement.
My parents are complaint Williams, who accused him of “grooming” at least one vulnerable child in his classroom, was embarrassed by the school and the Mount Lebanon School District's practices. The district previously gave parents notice and the right to opt out when sensitive topics were covered in the classroom. Williams' LGBT propaganda sessions on topics such as the Holocaust, slavery, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, sex education, Black Lives Matter, and Planned Parenthood became de facto mandatory.
Afterwards, Williams emphasized, “I'm right here,” and made the most of the time given to her by Principal Brett Bielewicz and the school district, reading two works of LGBT propaganda to her students. “Introducing Teddy: A Tender Story of Gender and Friendship” by transvestite Kyle Lukoff and radical LGBT activist Jessica Walton.
“Williams' conduct shocked the plaintiffs to the core of their relationships with their own families and their own young children.”
The first book is about a girl whose parents let her pretend to be a boy and even change her name. In the book, parents tell their cross-dressing child, “When you were born, we didn't know you were going to be our son. We made some mistakes, but you… They helped us fix it.”
The second book is about a male teddy bear who tries to become a female teddy bear.
“For a teacher to instruct a first-grader, read a book, and show that the parent's beliefs about the child's gender identity may be wrong is a direct denial of parental rights,” Judge Conti wrote in the ruling. Williams' actions shocked the plaintiff's own family and the plaintiffs.” Relationships with our own young children. ”
The judge noted that Williams usurped parental duties and caused chaos in order to instill beliefs about gender ideology in the plaintiff's children.
“The students' confusion in this case illustrates how difficult it can be for first-graders to have their teacher's instructions contradict their parents' religious and moral beliefs,” Professor Conti wrote. “When a teacher tells a first-grader that the parent may be wrong about whether the student is a boy or a girl, it undermines the very foundation of parental authority over the most important issues in the family. ”
Judge Conti went further, suggesting that Williams' actions “demonstrated intolerance and contempt for the religious or moral beliefs and authority of his parents.”
“Parents have a fundamental right to direct the care and education of their children,” Vincent Wagner, senior counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom, said in a statement. It is infringing.”
“Parents' fundamental constitutional right to decide how to raise their children includes the right to the information they need to make those decisions,” Wagner added. “Without notice, without a real opportunity to remove their children from instruction in this way, parents cannot exercise their constitutional rights.”
