We have been discussing the efforts of school officials around the country to block information for parents on their children changing their gender in public schools, including a recent victory for parents in Michigan. I have long been a critic of such attacks on parental rights in our schools. Now, parents have another major victory in California from District Court Judge Roger Benitez, who offered a resounding ruling in support of the inherent rights of all parents. However, public school boards, administrators, and teachers’ unions are continuing the fight to bar parents from knowing about gender changes in their children. Nevertheless, it is a great way to end this year for everyone who values family and parental rights.
The court cuts straight to the point in the opinion:
“With these longstanding principles in mind, this case presents the following four questions about a parent’s rights to information as against a public school’s policy of secrecy when it comes to a student’s gender identification. First, do parents have a right to gender information based on the Fourteenth Amendment’s substantive due process clause? Second, do parents have a right to gender information protected by the First Amendment’s free exercise of religion clause? Third, do religious public school teachers have a right to provide gender information to parents based on the First Amendment’s free exercise clause? Fourth, do public school teachers have a right to communicate accurate gender information to parents based on the First Amendment free speech clause? In each case, this Court concludes that, as a matter of law, the answer is “yes.” Parents have a right to receive gender information and teachers have a right to provide to parents accurate information about a child’s gender identity.”
Judge Benitez relies on a quote that we have previously discussed from Troxel v. Granville (2000): “It is cardinal with us that the custody, care and nurture of the child reside first in the parents, whose primary function and freedom include preparation for obligations the state can neither supply nor hinder.” The Supreme Court has repeatedly cited such parental rights, but school officials and teachers’ unions have been unrelenting in curtailing or denying such rights.
That view was captured in the comment of Iowa school board member Rachel Wall, who said: “The purpose of a public ed is to not teach kids what the parents want. It is to teach them what society needs them to know. The client is not the parent, but the community.”
State Rep. Lee Snodgrass (D-Wis.) tweeted: “If parents want to ‘have a say’ in their child’s education, they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their family budget.”
Parents who question unpopular policies are often treated as extremists.
Michelle Leete, vice president of training at the Virginia PTA and vice president of communications for the Fairfax County PTA, said parents would not force them to reverse their agenda: “Let them die. Don’t let these uncomfortable people deter us from our bold march forward.”
I particularly like this paragraph from Judge Benitez’s decision:
“The State Defendants mix up legal constructs. The Attorney General on behalf of the State of California says Plaintiffs’ lawsuit is “properly understood as seeking a federal constitutional exemption from the California constitutional right to privacy, as applied to gender identity in the school context.” State Defs’ Oppo to Plaintiffs’ MSJ, Dkt 256, at 9. But the Attorney General gets it upside down. Plaintiffs do not ask the State to magnanimously permit a sort of federal constitutional exemption. What Plaintiffs seek is to force the State to respect their enduring federal constitutional rights as citizens of the United States.”
Bravo, Judge Benitez, Bravo.
Here is the decision: Mirabelli v. Olson
“I particularly like this paragraph from Judge Benitez’s decision:
“… But the Attorney General gets it upside down. Plaintiffs do not ask the State to magnanimously permit a sort of federal constitutional exemption. What Plaintiffs seek is to force the State to respect their enduring federal constitutional rights as citizens of the United States.” ”
======================
I too like this part of the ruling, directly on point.
Apparently SCOTUS is beginning to read the room, and is actually following the law.
The High Court ruled that Trump and his administration lacked the authority to federalize and deploy the National Guard to enforce laws in Illinois.
“At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the court wrote in the unsigned order.
Yep, JFK, RFK got it wrong in Georgia, too. 😂
In other news, did you know Barneys and Lord and Taylor went bankru0t and closed all stores. Knock offs made in China made of fine pvc are available elsewhere.
Merry Xmas, anon…
Clown, did you read the preliminary SCOTUS part that said it was NOT yet deciding on the “lawfulness” of Trump’s action?
Please don;t try to read big words from SCOTUS that you cannot understand.
That little blurb opinion is so wrong. 😂. I can’t wait. Open fire chicago on any ICE agents 😂 😂 … Minnesota go for it on the fraud! 😂
The law, the fundamental law, most certainly confers the freedom of education on Americans, if nowhere else, in the 9th Amendment.
What kind of defective Supreme Court would allow Americans to be forced into schools they don’t want and schools that disparage America and its history and compel communist education?
Wrote in the “ORDER,” you say!
Wait. Where does the Constitution say that the judicial branch or the supreme court shall usurp and exercise executive power and the power of the commander-in-chief?
As much as you don’t like it, “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America,” and “The President shall be commander in chief of the Army.”
Sorry, high-criminal Supreme Court; it is long past time to impeach every unconstitutional and rogue justice.
The military is not executing the laws in Illinois. It is protecting Federal Officers doing their job.
Regardless, all this does is make clear – the mess in Chicago is owned by the left.
John, the “left” only has control of Chicago because the “right” both stinks at running cities and has no good plans to do better. In many cities the wealthiest cored them out, leaving a husk. As many see conservatism supporting wealth, the wealthy, in turn, support conservatism, which is really code for “I got mine, screw you.”
Anyway, Chicago is still doing very well. Much of the gun violence in Chicago is traceable to Indiana where they sell guns like Pez to anyone who can breath. Bless those gun humping Hoosiers.
California isn’t a republic, it’s a pure democracy. Anything the state legislature does can be undone by an initiative measure put to voters, and any law (including a change to the state constitution) can be enacted purely by voters.
In 2008, Prop 4 was to require parental notification (not both, just one) before an abortion when the mother is a minor. What seems like a U. S. Constitutional question to most posters here was rejected by voters. Being a parent myself, I voted yes, but my observation at the time was that more voters were non-parents than parents.
As a result, my impression is that all California public school employees (except maybe custodians) feel free to connect minor students with abortion services without parental notification. Gender issues are a relatively new front in the progressive culture war, but it’s easy to see why California school employees think their job is to counsel students and not inform parents.
More legal news to go through that off-topic door that “The Epstein Files!” poster wanted us to open. You wanted it, you got it:
Trump Administration Sends ‘Strike Team’ to Minnesota to Combat Ilhan Omar And Governor Tim Walz’s Somalian Collusion Criminal Fraud
https://thepopulisttimes.com/trump-admin-sends-strike-team-to-minnesota-to-combat-fraud/
. DJT and team have no authority to enforce fraud laws in Minnesota. 😂
They do when it’s federally funded dipwad! They do when it’s wire or bank fraud, jeez you’re stoooopit!
You haven’t heard? There’s no federal law there 😂.
Medicaid and federal funds????
Are you a Supreme Court justice?
Correct – this Fraud is in the States administration of Federal Funding – it is Federal Fraud.
Even Turley has noted it is nearly impossible that fraud on this scale could have occured without lots of complicity on the part of those in the MN government.
So your argument is that Somalis and others – with the complicity or willfull blindness of state and local officials car rip off the federal govenrment and US tax payers to the turn of $9B and rising – and there is nothing that can be done – and it is all Fine with you ?
Separate fed money from State money and enforce fed law and any conditions required to receive fed money. Minnesota can rob each other all day long, but not you and me. That’ll mean closing all fed money flow to Minnesota of course. Shell game…
You can not separate the federal money from the state money.
The federal govenrment pays the states to do what the constitution prohibits the federal govenrment from doing directly.
If the federal government p[provided these services directly – they would not be constitutional.
The courts never should have allowed them to do so indirectly.
*. The last Benitez paragraph is so very appropriate demonstrating the twisting of law by dems! Yes, Bravo, that Benitez is so present of mind that he could extract the truth.

Other matching off-topic news now that “The Epstein Files!” has opened that door. Democrats can celebrate that, yet again, the DoJ is going after a police department, this time under Trump instead of under Obama and Biden! They love this stuff! (Usually… that is.)
Justice Department’s Harmeet Dhillon Sues the District of Columbia for the Unconstitutional Ban of Semi-Automatic Firearms
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-district-columbia-unconstitutional-ban-semi-automatic-firearms
“This Civil Rights Division will defend American citizens from unconstitutional restrictions of commonly used firearms, in violation of their Second Amendment rights,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. “The newly established Second Amendment Section filed this lawsuit to ensure that the very rights D.C. resident Mr. Heller secured 17 years ago are enforced today — and that all law-abiding citizens seeking to own protected firearms for lawful purposes may do so.”
The Civil Rights Division enforces the Second Amendment and the Police Pattern or Practice Act (34 U.S.C. § 12601). If you are a current or prospective gun owner and believe you are being prevented from registering or owning a lawful firearm, please submit a complaint through https://www.justice.gov/crt/second-amendment-section.
How can this be, in Obama’s America where the Obama DoJ forced all states to not only first recognize homosexual marriages licensed and performed in other states, but also ultimately forced all states to offer homosexual marriage licenses in their own states?
Yet with the Heller decision being handed down years before Obama took office, at the same time during and since the Obama Administration, jurisdictions like Washington DC, prohibit Second Amendment rights for their own residents, as well as for Americans from other states from exercising their CCW licenses while travelling through or present in Washington DC?
So for Obama/Biden/Democrats: homosexual marriage licenses must be first recognized and then offered by all American states. But the Second Amendment (which, unlike any kind of marriage, is specifically mentioned in the Bill of Rights) and Concealed Carry Licenses based on the 2nd Amendment issued by other states, can be ignored and the exercise of Second Amendment rights treated as criminal in Washington DC and various other Democrat controlled American states.
And this DoJ action to correct these civil rights violations is brought by a courageous Assistant Attorney General who has all the qualifications that Democrats demand! Non-white, preferably brown, other than American in parental upbringing, female, and also actually has a vagina!
She’s facing a long uphill battle in fraudulent Democrat Washington DC courts. Particularly if (yet again by pure random chance) this lawsuit ends up where almost all Washington DC issues concerning the Trump Administration magically end up: in front of Judge Boasberg, famous for his felonious fraudulent FISA and Arctic Frost search warrants.
Does anyone living in Hawaii believe their rights to own a firearm and use it for their personal protection are being violated by that state as Washington DC is similarly violating that right? There’s the link to where you can submit a complaint regarding this Democrat communist police state fascism.

Here is a small sample of some books banned by Republican-led states and school corporations:
“Diary of Ann Frank”
” The Lorax” By Dr. Seuss
“Twelfh Night” by Shakespeare
“James and the Giant Peach”
the “Harry Potter” series
The Tarzan book series
“Where the Wild Things Are”
“Harriett the Spy”
The Dictionary–because it has “bad words” in it
“Little Red Riding Hood”
“Hansel and Gretel”
It’s amazing to me how you MAGAs always resort to filth–it says a lot about you–but then, look at who your leader is.
gig, here’s how to tell us about your gullible copycatting.
Tell us WHO or WHAT organization or school BANNED the books you listed above.
If you cannot, then we know the true answer……………………………………………..
Gigi copies and pastes from left-wing trash websites. She has no idea about specifics.
Googoo also eats paste and paint chips…
Libs, what are ya gonna do?!
You have access to the Google search engine, or Bing! so have at it.
The burden attaches to the claimant. You should know that.
Not when someone keeps calling you a liar and other names–a tactic you MAGAs learned from your Dear Leader. That makes YOU the “claimant’. Look up books banned by Republicans–there are numerous sites with numerous lists. Listed are some books that most people are familiar with. Some of them ban Grimm’s Fairy Tales, too. The reasons are really, really stupid–like Harry Potter encouraging witchcraft, Anne Frank expressing her attraction to Pieter, as examples. Those groups banning books are School Boards, Library Boards, Boards of Education and the like in Republican districts. I deliberately steered off of books by people like Toni Morrison, and books that celebrate diversity, that deal with things like same-sex parents, and exploring one’s own sexuality during puberty.
Provide the following: what publication, since different books can have the same name, where it is banned, and exactly who is responsible for the ban. You demonstrate a lot of ignorance when these things are not correctly provided.
Did you even attempt to look it up? Of course not, like all MAGAs, when one of you jumps on someone who says something you don’t like and accuses them of lying, you all chime in. YOU are the one who displays considerable ignorance.
“Did you even attempt to look it up?”
It’s your job to provide the details and prove your case. You have been disproven so many times, you changed your name. That is proof enough.
School libraries alone have almost one billion books on the shelves, so there has to be a selection process. That is not banning the book. It is the selection of one book over another, by one school or grade, seeking to choose one book out of tens of millions. Give us the name of the book that concerns you most, the publisher, where it was banned or not selected, when, and the proof.
The MAGA and conservative crowd I know likes to have proof and is accurate. You, like many lefty anonymous bloggers on this site, seldom do, and provide little evidence. That is why you and they are invariably wrong.
Why is SM responsible to look up YOUR claims.
People do not jump on you because you say things they do not like.
They jump on you for lying.
No, clown gigi. YOU made a claim; I challenged it, and I DID NOT call you a liar–in fact, that is yet another lie from YOU. Do you not understand the difference?
Gig, Much of this is old. It is very few schools, those tiny number of people who tried this lost.
Further the left is as active in banning books as the right.
Mark Twain has been purged from classrooms throughout the country BY THE LEFT,
For every 5000 books available on Amazon – a public school library can have ONE.
That means that 4999 out of every 5000 books are censored.
Not when someone keeps calling you a liar and other names–a tactic you MAGAs learned from your Dear Leader.
Projection. Trump wasn’t the president when Bolshevik Barack and Bribery Biden were lying to Americans that the ambassadors and others he abandoned to be murdered by hajji terrorists were simply victims of a legitimate protest against an offensive video that went wrong. Trump wasn’t the president when Bolshevik Barack and Bribery Biden were telling you Commie Democrat Useless Idiots “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”.
Would you like to go year by year from 2008 through 2016 with all the lies from Bolshevik Barack and Bribery Biden, all before Trump was a leader to give you a Republican to try and project your guilt, malfeasance, and criminality on?
And now here you are continuing to claim that there’s legislation enacted by Republicans with lists of banned books. And if such a thing existed, you’d be eagerly providing those links – instead of just hoping another Bribery Biden level lie might actually stick.
You have access to the Google search engine, or Bing! so have at it.
Way, WAY ahead of you commie, as well as the Lyin’ Like Bribery Biden poster that you’re gaslighting in defense of.
Numerous search engines cannot find any legislation in a Republican state where there is any piece of legislation prohibiting the purchase of and/or possession of that or any other list of banned books. You can personally give your nieces your dog eared collection of Hustler magazine. Or if you prefer, give them an actual subscription as a gift from Amazon!

The states aren’t banning books. The school boards are.
https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/students-authors-sue-florida-school-district-book-ban-rcna90219
Here was one of the more widely publicized bans, “And Tango Makes Three.”
This true story about penguins was banned by multiple school boards in Florida.
Listen clown. Tango makes three is NOT ABOUT homosexual penguins–the ‘true’ story from the zoo is about two male penguins trying to keep alive an orphaned penguin. Only gays, the book’s principals, and LGBTQ librarians tried to promote it as about gays.
Until we see two male penguins mating with each other, trying to kiss, cuddle, copulate, or send valentines to each other, you need to sit down and think about the propaganda you are promoting.
While it is true that some lower forms of life are androgynous, they are MARGINAL examples of species trying to survive. You and your friends will remain MARGINAL in the eyes of most of us on Turley’s blog.
The real story is interesting, but since schools have limited resources, school boards choose which books should be on the shelves. There are hundreds of millions of books, yet you complain about one that is not on some shelves (not banned) and think yourself smart.
Yes, over the course of the past 100 years some school somewhere has had someone try to remove the books you listed.
There are approximately 13000 school districts in the US.
Someone somewhere in the US has tried to bar something in the past century.
And you are stupid enough to make that about MAGA.
BTW approximately half of the “banned books” are by the left – such as all the works of Mark Twain.
Here is a small sample of some books banned by Republican-led states and school corporations… It’s amazing to me how you MAGAs always resort to filth–it says a lot about you–but then, look at who your leader is.
It wasn’t through Republican’s that Dr. Seuss met his fate, but instead through DEI cultural Marxist Democrat unionized teacher groomers and perverts at The National Education Association – the pedophile child grooming teachers you’re attempting to deflect to defend and protect their pedophilia:
Six Dr Seuss books nixed by The National Education Association over racist and insensitive imagery

It’s completely curious that you commie Biden Birthing Boyz attempt to make that Bribery Biden level lie stick. Hoping you have the credibility to get away with that lie while failing to provide the slightest shred of evidence with links to legislation in any Republican led state that prohibits the purchase of and possession of any of those books. There is no Republican-state book banning legislation – unlike Democrat states with legislature passed lists of banned guns Americans’ enumerated Second Amendment rights say you’re allowed to possess.
And wherever and whoever’s library CHOOSES to exclude those books from being offered to children (wherever you copied your list from) you can get right on Amazon to purchase those books to give to any child you wish to give that book. But please… don’t continue giving books to children for the purpose of grooming them of being accepting of your pedophilia.
You are the same people demanding you be allowed by school boards to put your subscriptions to your Democrat Alphabet Sex Pride Tribe filthy magazines like Hustler and Blue Boy, with straddle-legged crotch shots, in children’s school libraries.

CALIFORNIA WITCHES: PLEASE BAN “HANSEL AND GRETEL”

I love these ignorant lists of banned books when the person doesn’t tell us who and why. This writer is particularly ignorant and has changed her name many times. I’ll give you an example: the “Diary of Ann Frank” is not the official English title of the Dutch book, “The Diary of a Young Girl”. What book is she talking about? We don’t know. Who, where, and why are always left out because she is ignorant of the facts.
What YOU don’t know is that Anne Frank’s father, Otto, heavily edited his daughter’s diary before getting it published because she was very critical of her mother, who died in the Holocaust, and who didn’t cope well with the stress of hiding and constant fear of being discovered, shortages of food, and lots of people living in a confined space. Plus, she was attracted to Pieter–something Otto wasn’t comfortable with. HE is the one who published it as “The Diary of a Young Girl”. She was actually a “young woman”–growing up. In later years, the portions he removed were restored and published as “The Diary of Anne Frank”. You MAGAs just love to criticize others. Look up what Amazon has to offer–you will see both titles.
“What YOU don’t know is that Anne Frank’s father, Otto, heavily edited his daughter’s diary ….”
I have no concern with the example you chose. I said, ” What book is she talking about? We don’t know. Who, where, and why are always left out because she is ignorant of the facts.” Your ignorance forces you to write a story, leaving out what is needed to prove your case. This is one of your signature hallmarks.
There are multiple versions of anne franks diary – because her family censored it.
Yes, we agree. The numbers increase when pictures are added, and the book becomes laced with pornography. Your conclusion is correct, and that is why Gigi needs to provide a more precise description of the book. She doesn’t do that because she is an ignorant ideologue who doesn’t know enough to recognize this and the fact that sometimes choices have to be made. She prefers a fascist leader to make the choices for her.
No books have been banned by Republicans – you are free to get whatever you want at your local books store or Amazon.
The average school library has space for 13,000 books.
There are 32M books in the library of congress.
There are 50M books on Amazon
The left bans the works of Mark Twain “because it has bad words in it”
It’s a god start with two reservations. First, that this is a district court case which will presumably go up to the 9th Circuit which is likely to reverse. Second, this ruling only ALLOWS teachers to advise parents of the child’s mental disorder. It is permissive but not mandatory.
I think it does a bit more than that. By finding a constitutional right for parents to be informed it in effect requires disclosure of social transitions.
That would be compelling speech, something Turley has complained about.
Think it through anon. is it “compelling speech” to require hospitals to report gunshot wounds? Is it compelling speech to require a school nurse to report signs of abuse? Your “reasoning” here is a desperate exceedingly weak attempt to support the indefensible.
No that is not compelled speech.
God you left wing nuts are idiots.
Compelled speech is when you are required to express thoughts, ideas or oppinions that you do not agree with.
It is not when as part of your job you are required to report facts truthfully.
That’s not what the opinion says Daniel, It says teachers can’t be prevented by the school from informing the parents. It does not make disclosure mandatory.
The one minor upside to these leftist loons is as long as they continue to try to force their cult like beliefs on the rest of us, Democrats will continue to lose elections.
How are the beliefs being forced on you? Is just being exposed to free speech a problem you cannot cope with?
How is anything cult like without being a cult?
Who had a golden idol constructed of him?
Democrats have recently won special elections, including in races where the Republicans have held the position for decades. I suppose you mean that Democrats won’t win elections in every race, and that is expected, but what is also expected is that Democrats are on a line to win control of the House and the Senate with an unexpectedly high number of Republican incumbents bailing from politics entirely.
“How are the beliefs being forced on you? Is just being exposed to free speech a problem you cannot cope with?”
Government is FORCE
“How is anything cult like without being a cult?”
The left is a cult.
“Who had a golden idol constructed of him?”
No one in the past 3000 years.
No one is worshiping some image of gold.
“Democrats have recently won special elections, including in races where the Republicans have held the position for decades.”
Not that I have seen. Democrats are winning elections in blue districts in blue states.
It is likely if the midterms were today – that Democrats would barely win the house – that also would be normal.
The party in power has lost the midterms in every election in my lifetime.
But democrats are incredibly unpopular – CNN reported them as -55 that is 22% approval.
Numbers that low have never been seen before.
Democrats winning the senate is a near impossibility. Current betting odds are 2:1 GOP control of the Senate.
I would note that the Betting odds have Trump with a 5% change of being elected president again in 2028, and Harris having a 4% chance.
So the odds of Trump getting a constitutional amendment and willing are higher than Harris winning.

Thank you! Great case!
I noted this: “State Rep. Lee Snodgrass (D-Wis.) tweeted: “If parents want to ‘have a say’ in their child’s education, they should home school or pay for private school tuition out of their family budget.”
No wonder so many parents are choosing the harder but more appropriate road of homeschooling or private school. Public schools [and Democrats] have been forfeiting public trust for decades. Increasingly they are looking like a racket.
That’s why Dems are so opposed to school choice. It would reduce their monopoly power over the minds of the kids.
Plus the parents are paying for public school wit their property taxes, so Snodgrass’s premise is flawed.

As the Democrat apparatchiks here gave in to their base urges to go off topic with Democrat’s favorite legal conspiracy theory issues… let’s follow them off topic with other Democrat off-topic legal news.

Democrats should celebrate this – rather than whine and complain. After all, she has the criteria they demand:
1. She’s brown
2. She’s female, not male.
3. She actually has a vagina, rather than claims of being female.
4. Her target is a Rich Old White Male that she and her political party believe is a criminal.
These are the identical criteria of qualifications that Democrats chose and celebrated by sending out VP Border Czar Kamala Harris against Trump!
Her only disqualifications are that, opposite of Harris, she hasn’t laughed about admitting to illegal drug use while a practicing lawyer, she is a very successful lawyer who has built a law group in public practice, and is a legal immigrant and naturalized citizen raised and educated in America rather than selected from the Democrats’ preferred class of DEI and criminal Illegal Aliens.
And this is the same Grand Jury selection pool in Florida that the Attorney General Merrick Garland sent his unindicted felon and faux Special Counsel James Smith to for his unsupported search warrant application for Mar-a-Logo!
What a great Christmas present this brown, female, Indo-American legal immigrant American Deputy Attorney General is giving to the DEI demanding Democrats!
Did anyone ever think in 21st Century there would be court cases involving the Right of a Parent to know what is going on with their child in a Public School?
Up to the late 1950’s, teachers were quite normal Americans and the most patriotic of citizens. Then teacher unions were formed. Since then, there has been a steady drift to the lunatic left-wing fringe of the politicial spectrum.
Perfect observation!
BULL HOBBY
Before the 1950s, there were teachers associations which did collective bargaining, but they considered themselves white-collar employees and didn’t assert a right to strike.
Unions are unconstitutional antithetical communist criminal organizations.
To all the Anatomists and their supporters that push the absurd conclusion that man can become woman, you have learned nothing worthy of consideration regarding the anatomy or the dissection of such.
Quotes from Eric Hoffer:

“If a society is to preserve stability and a degree of continuity, it must learn how to keep its adolescents from imposing their tastes, values, and fantasies on everyday life.”
“Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.”
These Democrat school boards and teachers are just more example of the evil that they claim is actually nurturing and protective Big Brother government.
All of Marx’s versions of communism – the German Nazis, Italian fascists, Soviet communists, and Chinese Maoists were all Big Brother Marxists who justified murdering their citizens for the good of the government while inculcating their nations’ children with their Young Nazi, Young Pioneers, Red Guard, etc.
Big Brother communism (or cultural Marxism if that offends you) is not a “friend” or a “parent” to parents’ children. It is a homicidal maniac that society tries to keep somewhat restrained lest it indulge its basest instinct: to destroy anything that threatens its control of the citizens of that country. These school boards and unionized teachers do not “protect” children. They use children to their advantage.
*. I’ll worry when a child tells me my parents are making me wear dresses and I’m a boy.
Parents are responsible until age 18? If parents say, “No, you’ll have to wait for the debutante ball”, it’s fine with me.
If parents and child have physician documents for gender anomaly schools have no part in it. The confusion is it’s medical and not education. Hiding? Girls hide lipstick so if they change clothes at school why notice. Schools cannot be part of the hiding, complicit in secrecy.

^^^^ There are criminal acts on the books- pedophilia pre-puberty is still criminal and reportable, prostitution in general, child porn of minors and pre-pubescent, mutilation of any kind under age 18 unless it’s male at birth, incest, and these are for healthcare and contagious disease concerns. These conditions are reportable by school personnel if applicable.
Alternate lifestyles unless barred by law aren’t State concerns. State concerns are economics and contagious disease. The current big pockets Uncle Sam has contributed to personal economic responsibilities of parents and a spread of contagious diseases, high taxes and other.

CNN reports on Epstein letter.
__________________________________
Chat GPT
The phrase — “grab some snatch” or variations like “grab snatch” — appears in a recently released handwritten letter allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein, which was part of a batch of documents the U.S. Department of Justice released under transparency requirements related to the Epstein files. That specific exchange is from:
📄 A jailhouse letter Epstein allegedly wrote to Larry Nassar, the disgraced former USA Gymnastics team doctor. The letter is dated August 13, 2019 and was discovered after Epstein’s death. In it Epstein refers to “our president” and uses the crude phrase in context: “When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub…” as part of an unverified assertion about then-President Donald Trump.
– The Guardian
This letter was included in the latest tranche of Epstein-related documents released by the Department of Justice (thousands of pages of case files, letters, and other material), and was widely reported in major news outlets.

If you’re looking for the exact document name as listed in the official release (e.g., file number or DOJ label), those details may be in the public DOJ release page or metadata associated with the file — but the widely covered reference to that phrase comes from this Epstein-to-Nassar handwritten letter in the DOJ’s released Epstein files.

OT CNN reports on Epstein letter.
OMG! Chat GPT (if the question is very carefully limited and carefully phrased) finds CNN, The Guardian, etc are as authoritative on “the Epstein files” as Chat GPT itself is!
Same media who repeatedly told us the fictional and felonious Clinton/Obama “Russia Dossier” was 100% verified. Oh – and assured us the Biden Bribery Laptop was just “Putin election campaign disinformation”!
Meanwhile, over at the New York Times, they brag on the extensive and deep investigation they did into Trump and Epstein specifically – while studiously ignoring any and all links between current Democrat politicians and presidential administration officials i.e. Larry Summers.
The article, written by Times’ Trump-hating reporters Nicholas Confessore and Julie Tate, was based on interviews with “more than 30 former employees of Jeffrey Epstein, victims of his abuse and others who crossed paths with Mr. Epstein and President Trump.”
Sadly (for The Times and Democrats) they ultimately glumly acknowledged – but buried deep in their report – that there has never been any evidence connecting Trump to the criminal activities of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, despite years of Democrat public speculation and repeated claims pushed by Democratic politicians right up until today.
<b<An examination of their history by The New York Times has found no evidence implicating Mr. Trump in Mr. Epstein’s abuse and trafficking of minors,
(with Trump and the NYT, unlike Obama, it is always “Mr. Trump” – they would never call Barack “Mr. Obama” in any of their ass kissing and defensive articles of Obama)
Now… can any of the Chat GPT experts here who love to use that as their research source explain how the question they formulated to put to Chat GPT resulted in Chat GPT missing the findings of that aggressive NYT research that focused singularly in attempting to find any and all links between Trump and Epstein’s crimes?
Or post the verbage they crafted to submit to Chat GPT to get the results they wanted?
Chat GPT & Democrats: stick garbage in, get garbage out.
OT CNN reports on Epstein letter.
How did Chat GPT and CNN miss the story on how Bill Clinton’s permanent house guest, the convicted serial rapist and pedophile Harvey Weinstein, advised him on how to bury the Epstein letters and files?
Bill Clinton’s FBI Buried Epstein Bombshell Allegations

According to a report from the New York Times, Bill Clinton’s FBI sat on a bombshell complaint about Jeffrey Epstein for his entire presidency. The timing of the FBI’s inaction is impossible to ignore.
During the years the complaint sat gathering dust, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell enjoyed extraordinary access to the Clinton White House. Visitor logs show that Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995. In fact, Epstein’s ties to Bill Clinton go back to before his time at the White House, when he was just a state governor in 1991.
Former Epstein employee Maria Farmer filed a formal report with the FBI alleging that Epstein possessed child pornography and threatened to burn down her house if she spoke out. Yet, federal authorities under the Clinton administration did absolutely nothing with the information for almost 10 years while Epstein had access to PresidentClinton.

I never thought I would live to see this kind of crap in America. Good start Meathead Junior.
Since the 2024 election, we have finally seen some sanity returning to our country.
Everybody knows how quickly Trump closed the border that the Biden puppeteers claimed was closed already.
And most know Trump is deporting illegal alien criminals as fast as Democrat judges will allow.
And if blue cities/states would cooperate with ICE, a whole lot fewer non-criminal illegals would have been picked up and deported in those ICE sweeps.
But the straw that broke the donkey’s back and made Independents and former Democrats vote Republican was this abhorrent and science-denying gender crap that was being forced on us by Democrat politicians and their propaganda media.
– They wanted to allow men to cheat against women in sports.
– They wanted to allow men to use women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.
– They demanded we all use absurd English language-defying pronouns.
But when they decreed that parents had no rights when it came to decisions being made about their minor children, they had finally “jumped the shark” (old Happy Days reference) and parents who had tried to ignore politics became angry and motivated to get involved.
There’s still lots of cleanup to do. Slowly but surely these teachers unions and college professors will be exposed as being the true fascists who hate our Constitution that they’ve always been.
Cliff Jackson,
Well said.
We just have to stand up to them and say, “You are ridiculous.”
Natacha is repeating Democrats’ demands that his/her/zee’s fellow groomers and pedophiles be allowed to place copies of “Hustler” magazine, particularly the ones with splayed-legged crotch shots, in children’s unionized public schools. There is no child porn so obscene that Natacha would not claim a right to put in front of children without the parents’ consent.
Is Natacha one of the Democrats unionized public school teachers that X so ferociously defends?
Natacha says: how about the mostly red states… that censor books in schools and libraries?
