When is the "Right to Privacy" Not the 'Right to Privacy"

Recently, the 9th Circus court of appeals issued a ruling that said that Parents have no right to deny their children exposure to smut.  The actual case was not about smut, but Sex education, but to some conservative christians, it amounts to the same thing.

So in effect, while the 9th Circus can miraculously find a right to privacy in the Constitution when it comes to Abortion, and they can find that Parents are responsible for children, they cannot find a right for the parent to have control over what their child is exposed to!

No right to privacy!

It really amazes me how these liberal jurists minds work.  For the life of me, I can not fathom it!  I think in a logical way.   If a=b, unequivocally, and b=c, unequivocally, then a must equal c.  To suggest anything else would be to defy the laws of the universe.

Yet, the 9th Circus manages to do just that in their latest ruling.  privacy=Right.  Parental responsibility =Right.  Parental ability to protect Child <> Right.

It really is mind boggling to see the illogic of the liberal mindset.  yet that does not stop them from thinking they are mainstream, and I am extreme.  Because I believe in the rule of law, not the rule to make laws.

Amazing!  Simply Amazing.

This is an idealistic thought. I agree with you but firing teachers and changing curriculum is not an easy thing to do. In the meantime what do you do with your kid in the class that year? We did this already with an English teacher and the teacher was fired by year end. In the meantime our kids got quite an education with this teacher. One we were not expecting nor did we want for our children.

That is a good point.  We have had some really hot arguements with teachers that think that is wrong (even tho they are conservative).  They somehow do not feel that teachers should be subject to a value evaluation, on the off chance that perhaps some administrator is a quack.  Something every other profession has to deal with, and while a real possibility, is not that prevalent.

if there's a problem with the curriculum it should be changed of if the teacher is truly found immoral, fired.


And who defines "immoral"? The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals? That's what this case was all about. The parents found the sex test immoral and the school didn't. The parents sued, and won. The school appealed and won in the 9th. (Two out, with bases loaded...?)

The problem with your too-simple solution is that this is exactly what is going on. And the umbrage which I take is that the activist court says I don't have any rights when it comes to the education of my kids.

That is the scariest part of the 9th Circus ruling.
