9th U.S. Circuit Court Rules In Favor of Schools to Teach Seven Year Old Children About Sex, Parents have no Say So
Posted on November 4, 2005
(CNSNews.com) - 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.”
I can certainly understand why there would be outrage on this one. Why a school thinks it is their place to talk about sex to a seven year old I do not understand. If my son came home after school, and I found out that some teacher had been asking him about his private parts, there would be more than outrage. Whatever happened to decency in this nation? Whatever happened to respect?
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.”
So whats the answer? Well school vouchers would be nice, but we all know that the liberals don’t want parents to have the ability to decide what school they want their children to go to. Until then, if its possible…HOMESCHOOL your children.
Its absolutely insane to me that our judicial system can create imaginary rights in the Constitution to kill unborn babies, or deny children their religious right to pray in school, but here they can find absolutely no inkling that might suggest that parents should have some kind of say so in when their children should learn about the details of sex. But what the 9th Circus Court did in this case is about more than just sex being taught to children….
“The 9th Circuit did more than rule against parents who were upset that their elementary-school-aged children were being asked explicit questions about sex in class. They told all parents they have no right to protest what public schools tell their children.”
That is exactly what happened. This decision was a blanket ruling, that you have no right whatsoever in what your children will be taught in school. Once you hand your children over to the state, the state owns them, and you have just given away all your rights on what they can and can not learn about. This is an open door for the ACLU. They’ll be wanting to right out the class schedules soon.
3rd grade class schedule
1st. Period: Sex, private parts, and how to put on a condom
2nd. Period: Gay tolerance

If you don’t like what they are teaching in the government school, take’em out.
My wife and I are about to have our first child, and I think we may be leaning towards private school. We will really have to be careful with our money to do it, but I think it’ll be worth it.
I will say I think it’s odd that you added Evolution in there though.
I just heard on Fox News that Judge Reinhardt is married to the head of the CA ACLU! Typical
“I will say I think it’s odd that you added Evolution in there though.”
Now you have ME curious… why would you find it odd that he included evolution?
The Court is correct. Parents have no FEDERAL rights here. The Pierce decision doesn’t apply. The parents are free to attempt to influence their state legislators and local school boards.
#3, just because I allow my information to be public does not mean I want someone else posting using my name and info. Please stop.

The problem is that the comments by Judge Reinhardt go beyond just saying the parents didn’t have standing in a federal court (and I would have had little problem with such a ruling) .. what the 9th circuit says is that once a parent delivers the child to the school house door, the SCHOOL has the right to teach WHATEVER it wishes, parents be damned.
In this instance the parents were lied to about the scope of the questionare. Someone KNEW parents would have opted their kids out of the survey if they had any inkling of the questions. The school usurped the parents’ rights and the 9th circuit went beyond that and said that the parents didn’t have any rights in the FIRST place.
This was an anti-parent ruling, not one of proper lawsuit venue.
I feel is time for most Americans to either pull your kid out of public school or homeschool them.Jay,thank you for your tireless determination against the ACLU,the only problem I have is that I think the conservatives have handled the courts situation effectively as they should.Getting the right justices on the court is important,but when you get ruings like this it renders your efforts null and void.I have a suggestion,that the GOP in D.C. was to dumb to think about.they want to split the nineth circus.That is a waste of time,the best idea is to impeach these guys,they already had one judge impeached over a stupid ruling.
Dear hillary and your fellow dems and libs,
My, my, what do you have to say for yourself now, after what YOU have generated and created!!!!!! I feel I have awakened in a new United States governed by communists.
I thank the Lord I was able to raise children BEFORE legislation came down that “I as a parent had no right to object too, or remove my child from something I felt was harmful and not age appropriate.” I gues the PTA (Parent teachers Association) so active in so many small communities, or villages may as well pack it in, pray for change, and/ or leave.
As far as the 9th district court goes????????? YOU GUYS JUST MADE ALLITO a shoe-in……at least for that I thank you!
You all are way to activisit, making decision you have no right to make. Further, it is not us the american people to whom you will answer too….Someday you will answer to a higher being than yourselfs, ‘The Lord God’ and what shall y ou say in defense of yourselves for contributing to the ruiniation of parental rights and the contribution you have made to legalizing amoral behavior, as well as promoting it! I for one would not have wanted my unspoiled 7- 10 year old child or grand child subjected to question I pray they do not have a clue about. As a parent I hope that I would be astute enough to know if I needed to ask those questions, as those are questions one may ask of some one who was sexually abused as a child.
So what’s up with you guys?
theACLU needs to be destroyed.the ACLU I THINK HATES AMERICA.what can be done to stop this left wing anti american group.seems they support the terrorists and their rights and not ours.Icould go on and on as to why i want the ACLU DESTROYED.IM PISSED.ACTIVIST JUDGES SUCH AS THE 9TH CIRCUIT COURT.NEED TO GO.
