There is a moment in every cultural debate when you realize the argument is no longer about policy or compassion, but about power. This case out of Maine is one of those moments.
A mother found out by accident that her 13-year-old daughter had been quietly ushered into a gender transition by a public school employee, without a single phone call home. No meeting. No consent. No warning. Just secrets.
Now, that mother is asking the Supreme Court of the United States to decide a question that never should have been up for debate in the first place: Do parents still have the right to know what public schools are doing with their children?
The answer used to be obvious. Apparently, it is not anymore.
In December 2022, Amber Lavigne was doing what parents do. She was cleaning her child’s room. That is when she found a chest binder, an item used to flatten a girl’s chest to appear male. She had not bought it. Her daughter had not told her about it.
The binder came from a social worker at Great Salt Bay Community School.
According to reporting from The Maine Wire, school staff had begun using a different name and pronouns for Lavigne’s daughter. Worse, the social worker reportedly told the child that none of this had to be shared with her mother. It would remain their secret. When Lavigne confronted school officials, she was told nothing improper had occurred. The district claimed it was merely providing a “safe, welcoming, and inclusive educational environment” in compliance with state law.
Translation: We decided we know better than you.
Can someone explain to me why public schools are getting envolved in this transgender trend? What do they have to to gain?
Because they are democrats!
