Parents across California are up in arms after a school district was accused of secretly counseling an 11-year-old child to transition genders without notifying their parents. The Chico Unified School District is now being sued for allegedly violating parental rights, and local parents attended this week’s Board of Education meeting to demand transparency and accountability.
Under the school’s current policy – based on guidance from the California Department of Education – schools only inform parents with prior written consent – except in extraordinary situations. Aurora Regino, mother of the now 12-year-old student in question, filed a lawsuit last month alleging that her daughter’s school was helping her transition behind her back without any parental knowledge or approval. She stated: “I just want them to stop — stop keeping parents in the dark.”
At Wednesday’s meeting, many shared Regino’s sentiment and spoke out against what they call “the Parental Secret Policy”. Michelle argued for parental rights: “Schools, teachers, counselors and staff do not have the right to keep families in dark as to what is going on with their child. Parents’ rights are fundamental and supreme…These are our children, not yours. We know what’s best for them, not you.” Taylor believes gender confusion is too complex an issue for children and school counselors to handle alone: “It is not in our children’s best interest to confuse them about topics that are beyond their mental capacity…We entrust our students to your hands, and we would like to know that we could be kept in the loop about our children’s wellbeing. Transparency is key in these formative years.”
Rep. Doug LaMalfa also weighed into this matter through his congressional district representative Teri DuBose: “Know that the congressman shares your outrage and demands accountability from Chico Unified School District…As a fellow parent, the congressman understands that it is our God-given duty to protect our children…” Regino’s lawsuit argues the Chico Unified School District’s policy violates her “fundamental right” as a parent to direct the upbringing of her children as protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteen Amendment; she seeks a judgment declaring it unconstitutional plus an injunction preventing its enforcement moving forward.
This case serves as yet another example of how far woke liberals will go when it comes pushing agendas onto young minds – even if it means manipulating vulnerable kids into making life changing decisions without their parents’ knowledge or approval! It’s time for us all stand up against liberal censorship and fight back against this type of child grooming!
