GOP AGs brief in suit against schools that hide gender transitions

 Daily Caller:

A coalition of 17 Republican attorneys general filed an amicus brief Thursday in support of a lawsuit filed against an Iowa school that obscures students’ gender transitions from their parents.

Parents Defending Education, a group advocating for parental rights in education, sued Linn-Mar Community School District in August over its “Transgender and Students Nonconforming to Gender Role Stereotypes” policy which allows students to hide their gender transitions from their parents. The brief obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, led by Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, argues that parents have a right to be involved in their child’s care under federal law.

“Parents have a fundamental constitutional right to direct the upbringing and care of their children,” Knudsen told the DCNF. “School policies cannot intentionally leave parents in the dark about their child’s mental and emotional well-being. The courts must step in to protect these kids and stop the violation of parental rights at the hands of woke school administrators.”

The school’s policy accommodates a student’s change in name and pronouns and allows students to use restrooms and locker rooms on the basis of gender identity. Beginning in seventh grade, students have a “priority of their support plan over their parent/guardian,” allowing the students to transition at school without telling their parents, the policy states.

This school appears to support child abuse.  They have no business keeping information about a child's mental health from parents.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
