National Review has an editorial today on the California attorney general’s recent move to undermine parental rights in the Golden State:
When real child abuse is suspected, school staff may delay notifying parents until police or child services have investigated the concern. But they leave the decision-making about the child’s future to the relevant authorities. Yet when mere non-affirmation is suspected, schools jump straight to playing judge, parent, and psychologist. This is a dangerous precedent. If parents can be usurped at school, why not at home, too?
