Parental Rights vs. State Control in Education

California's recent legislation allows school officials to keep a child’s gender identity struggles secret from their parents, promoting the belief that the state can better protect children than their families. Elon Musk's decision to relocate SpaceX from California to Texas highlights a growing frustration with such laws that prioritize state involvement over parental awareness. A concerning report revealed that a significant number of public school children face abuse from school employees, raising questions about the ability of schools to act in the best interest of students. These developments suggest a troubling trend in which the state assumes ownership of children's well-being, undermining the critical role of parents in their children's lives.
