Nod to a fellow blogger. Over at http://isitjust.blogspot.com/ there's an article mentioning a recent news item caught by CNSNews (Cybercast News Service) on an idiotic decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. That would be the circuit that covers California, which is where the participants in the case hail from.
The original CNSNews article can be found here: Appeals Court Declares Parenthood Unconstitutional, Group Says, and a few snippets will be included below. Please read them carefully, and more importantly, get over to CNSNews and check the entire article.
This is the type of stuff that should frustrate all voters in this country, especially parents. These are the absolute worst of activist judges. These are the kinds of judges that we should be replacing on the bench with Alitos, Roberts, and other similar judges.
Sickening.
Anyway, clips follow:
A new ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is prompting cries of judicial activism.
On Wednesday the court dismissed a lawsuit brought by California parents who were outraged over a sex survey given to public school students in the first, third and fifth grades.
Among other things, the survey administered by the Palmdale School District asked children if they ever thought about having sex or touching other people's "private parts" and whether they could "stop thinking about having sex."
The parents argued that they -- not the public schools -- have the sole right "to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex."
But on Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit dismissed the case, saying, "There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children...Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."

Please note most importantly the quotes from the case dismissal. Where are these idiots getting this stupid logic?!
Parents have no rights over their offspring?! What?!
I'm sure there are a few teachers here at J.U. that love this type of screwed up logic. It gives the teachers and the school system the ultimate power, which is absolutely and completely wrong.
First, school systems should be serving the will of the people. They typically are run by elected school boards, and those elected individuals serve at the whim of the public. Making stupid decisions like this should result in a complete turnover of the school board, the administrators and others at the schools that are involved in this leftist crap.
Please, everyone just pray that the left coast finally falls off this country so the rest of us can get back to normalcy.
