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.

- At least one Christian was killed every 86 minutes in Nigeria from January through early September.
- Most victims lived in regions that receive little attention from Nigerian or U.S. security planners.
- The data comes from a U.S.-based aid agency tracking ongoing violence against believers.
Christians in Nigeria continue to face relentless violence that shows little sign of slowing. A new report from a U.S.-based aid agency documents the grim pace of persecution, with at least one believer killed every 86 minutes between January 1 and September 8. The numbers paint a stark picture of targeted attacks that have claimed the lives of faithful men and women across the nation.
Many of the killings occurred in areas that rarely receive priority attention from either Nigerian officials or American security planners. This lack of focus leaves communities vulnerable and allows violence to continue unchecked. The report underscores how strategic neglect can have deadly consequences for those simply trying to live out their faith.
The findings serve as a sobering reminder that Christians remain among the most persecuted religious groups worldwide. In Nigeria, the pattern of violence often targets believers in rural and semi-rural regions where government presence is thin and security forces are stretched thin. Families are left to mourn loved ones while the international community struggles to respond effectively.
