Federal Courts Say Parents Have No Right to Control Sex Ed of Kids

U.S. elites decided last month that American parents have no "fundamental right" to control or oversee the sex education of their children. That's the result of a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court not to review an appeals court ruling that dismissed a suit filed by parents against a school district in California.

The parents had complained that their basic rights were violated by California's Palmdale School District when it compelled school children to answer invasive questionnaires about their personal sexual thoughts and habits. The parents said they had the sole right "to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex."

But the notoriously dictatorial 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that parents of public school children had no "fundamental right" to be the exclusive provider of sexual education to the their own children. The district, north of Los Angeles, had distributed a questionnaire in 2002 to students in the first, third, and fifth grades asking them how often they thought about sex, among other personal questions that violated the children's privacy.

The parents appealed the case after the suit was dismissed by the left-wing 9th circuit. The Supreme Court declined to hear the parents' appeal.

The court's failure to hear the parents' appeal means that government officials can invade the privacy of school children without prior parental permission.

In the Palmdale case, students were asked to respond to questions by circling one of four possible choices, "never," "sometimes," "lots of time" or "almost all of the time."

Students were asked if they were concerned about any of the following thoughts, among many others:

"Feeling afraid something bad might happen";

"Wanting to say dirty words";

"Feeling lonely';

"Touching my private parts too much';

"Thinking about having sex';

"Thinking about sex when I don't want to";

"Feeling scared of men'';

"Feeling scared of women."
