California Court Defends Parental Rights in Schools
Faith Facts
- California schools must inform parents about a child’s preferred gender identity at school.
- The court affirmed that parental rights take precedence over conflicting state and local policies.
- This case was led by Christian teachers upholding honesty and Biblical values in education.
A federal judge has ruled that California public schools cannot keep parents in the dark about their child’s preferred gender identity. This decision protects the vital role parents hold, as entrusted by God, in guiding their children with wisdom and truth.
Judge Roger Benitez’s permanent injunction blocks any rule that prohibits school staff from informing parents about changes in a child’s name or pronouns. Schools are now required to present accurate information to parents, honoring both family integrity and religious convictions.
“Parents and guardians have a federal constitutional right to be informed if their public school student child expresses gender incongruence,” reads the court-ordered statement.
The order ensures that teachers are not forced to hide crucial information from families. It also prohibits school officials from referring to children by names or pronouns opposed by their parents, guarding parental rights as biblically grounded and constitutionally protected.
Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel celebrated the ruling, emphasizing parental authority as a God-ordained responsibility.
“Public schools have no business keeping harmful secrets from parents. Requiring teachers to be dishonest with parents in the course of their job was an unconscionable decision by California school officials,” stated Staver.
The class-action suit was brought by Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori West, public school teachers compelled by their Christian faith and commitment to truth. Their steadfast stand defended parents’ God-given right to direct the lives of their children without government interference.
This case is a reminder for Christian families to remain vigilant and prayerful regarding the education system and culture, seeking to uphold Biblical values in every sphere. Stay alert and continue to advocate for faith, family, and freedom in your community.

- Welby conceded he failed to prioritize victims and energetically pursue the John Smyth abuse tragedy.
- He now attends psychotherapy and psychiatry sessions to cope with the loneliness of his resignation and moral weight.
- While admitting shortcomings, Welby contests claims the Church never reported to police, affirming authorities instructed no further inquiry.
Former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby resigned in November 2024.
The Makin report exposed failures in addressing abuse allegations against John Smyth, who abused victims in Britain and Africa for decades.
The report faulted Welby for not doing enough upon learning of the allegations, prompting his admission of personal failure in ensuring a thorough investigation.
Biblical leadership demands unwavering accountability to protect the flock, as Scripture warns shepherds who neglect justice face divine judgment.
Welby told the Rosebud Podcast.
“I’ve been seeing a psychotherapist for a considerable period of time. And a psychiatrist. Very helpful.”
He explained.
“It’s not about saying, ‘oh, it didn’t matter’, or anything like that, quite the reverse – how does one live with such a failure?”
Keith Makin upheld his report.
He noted Welby knew of Smyth and bore personal moral responsibility to pursue beyond mere assurances from police.
Church leaders must embody Christ-like repentance and vigilance to safeguard families and uphold godly standards in our nation.
