CU Files Amicus Brief in Mirabelli v Bonta (Parental Rights)

In Mahmoud v Taylor, 606 U.S. 522 (2025), the Supreme Court affirmed the authority of parents to decide whether their children would be subjected to a LGBTQ curriculum. That decision confirmed that parents are entitled to know what their children would be taught and given the right to “opt-out.” Here, the Ninth Circuit has sanctioned a decision by the California State school system that strips parents of the right to know that their children are questioning their sexual identity, and authorizes the school system to deceive the parents of such children. As discussed below, the Ninth Circuit has entered an order that could be viewed as open defiance of Mahmoud and other Supreme Court decisions. In short, California is in open violation of not just the Free Exercise rights of parents and their children, but violates the Establishment Clause as it actually establishes transgenderism, a doctrine with ancient pagan religious roots, requiring the Supreme Court’s intervention.
