Supreme Court Requires Schools to Allow Students to Opt Out of LGBTQ Lessons

The 6-3 ruling is a victory for parental and religious rights, but some say it will further marginalize gay and trans students and families.

Linda McMahon on how California can avoid losing federal education funding: "They really need to send a letter of apology to all of the female participants in sports. They need to return the titles that were taken away from these women who competed and lost to males in the sports."

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status."

SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status"

Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

My Kindergarten Class Taught Me What’s Really at Stake in “Mahmoud v. Taylor”

As the Supreme Court debates this case, I am reminded of the students I taught over two decades ago who gave me an invaluable lesson about what representation really means to them.
