Apparently, Obama continues to haunt many Americans today with his previous actions … in particular judge appointments.
In 2013, Obama appointed Mark G. Mastroianni to the U.S. District Court for his alleged “fair-mindedness.”
“These individuals have demonstrated the talent, expertise, and fair-mindedness Americans expect and deserve from their judicial system. I am grateful for their willingness to serve and confident that they will apply the law with the utmost impartiality and integrity,” Obama brayed.
Interesting definition of integrity.
Considering that Mastroianni showed his clear allegiance for the state over parents in raising children when he sided against two parents in favor of a woke school.
Indeed, Ludlow Public School officials encouraged their 11-year-old daughter to use a new name, as well as different gendered pronouns, all without the knowledge of the parents.
That’s right: eleven years old.
Naturally, that resulted in a lawsuit from the two parents.
Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri, the two parents in question, declared that the school had “exceeded the bounds of legitimate pedagogical concerns” when officials encouraged their child to switch genders, constituting a severe violation of family integrity and parental authority.
“[The Ludlow School Committee and implicated educators] exceeded the bounds of legitimate pedagogical concerns and usurped the role of [the plaintiffs] and other parents in the Town of Ludlow to direct the education and upbringing of their children, make medical and mental health decisions for their children and to promote and preserve family privacy and integrity,” their lawsuit declared.
Even worse, the school clearly took action to hide its transgender brainwashing efforts, as also noted in the suit.
“Defendants’ protocol and practice of concealing from parents information related to their children’s gender identity and efforts to affirm a discordant student gender identity at school violates parents’ fundamental rights under the United States and Massachusetts constitutions and violates children’s reciprocal rights to the care and custody of their parents, familial privacy and integrity,” the lawsuit added.
Alas, it seems that the Obama-backed judge has a very different idea of “integrity,” as Mastroianni sided with the school over the parents.
And, when the parents rightfully appealed, they were shot down again.
As detailed in a report from Blaze Media, the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals decided it was a great idea to uphold Mastroianni’s ruling, which effectively held that parents had no say in the gender of their 11-year-old child.
“We acknowledge the fundamental importance of the rights asserted by the parents to be informed of, and to direct, significant aspects of their child’s life – including their socialization, education, and health,” the most recent ruling declared.
Oh, is that so? How nice of a public school to “acknowledge” that parents have the “right” to “significant aspects” of their own children’s lives!
Apparently, however, parents don’t have that much of a right, as the ridiculous ruling continues.
“Parents may not invoke the Due Process Clause to create a preferred educational experience for their child in public school,” the appeals court declared.
“A preferred educational experience?” Is the appeals court joking?
Choosing to take several honors or advanced placement courses is a “preferred educational experience” … entirely changing one’s biological sex is not.
Though in the woke liberals’ world, apparently one should be able to change genders as easily as they can change increasingly useless college majors.
As noted by Blaze Media, the appeals court also “bizarrely … compared gender choice to career choice in its ruling.”
“Providing educational resources about LGBTQ-related issues to a child who has shown interest imposes no more compulsion to identify as genderqueer than providing a book about brick laying could coerce a student into becoming a mason,” the appeals court sniffed.
Is that so?
The difference, of course, is that most teenagers don’t commit suicide if they decide to not become a mason.
