If your love for your child is conditional. You are a bad parent.

The parents sued, calling it a “secret gender transition plan” and arguing the school violated their constitutional rights by withholding information about their child’s gender identity.
These parents are bad. If they were reasonable people their child would feel comfortable talking to them.
If a parent needs a state and courts to enforce their parenting, those aren't good parents.
i don't know, there is a whole world out there with an interest to manipulate, exploit, and abuse children (and people generally). a few parents can only do so much to protect their children from that. they need support from a larger community.
of course parents in this case are horrible and abusive and not fighting some actual big evil, and states are a pretty bad replacement for actual community support.
If you're the kind of parent that will sue all the way to the supreme court in an attempt to control your child, your the kind of parent your child won't be able to turn to for support.
Schools should be able to provide hormone blockers to trans kids without telling abusive parents with the referral from the school councillor. They’re already administer vaccines on school grounds.
PaREnTS RighTS is just cover for transphobia.
Little tangent: I read the headline as ‘rejected’ instead of ‘respected’ got mad, read the article and was yelling ‘that’s the opposite of what you said!’ Then I read the commends and was all ????? So I re-read the headline and noticed my mistake..
