The backlash begins. From a reader:

Mr. McCarthy’s deconstruction of the 9th Circuit’s opinion is incorrect
because he focuses only on a single aspect of the opinion — whether
there are constitutional rights to “be the exclusive provider of
information regarding sexual matters to their children,” and “to
override the determinations of public schools as to the information to
which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students.”
But what about this sentence:
In summary, we hold that there is no free-standing fundamental right of
parents “to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them
to matters of and relating to sex in accordance with their personal and
religious values and beliefs” and that the asserted right is not
encompassed by any other fundamental right.
Doesn’t this sentence, when read in conjunction with those non existent
“rights” above, read out the freedom of religion and association
amendments? In other words, the 9th Circuit is essentially holding here
that it doesn’t matter what your religious beliefs are and how you want
to teach them to your children — the state, in the public school arena,
is allowed to run roughshod over them.
That is not an accurate reading of the Constitution, no matter who the
interpreter.
