Supreme Court Defends Parents’ God-Given Rights
Faith Facts
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against California’s policy forcing schools to hide children’s transgender identities from parents, upholding parental rights rooted in faith.
- Parents with religious objections likely succeed on Free Exercise Clause claims, as state policies intrude on the biblical duty to guide children’s upbringing.
- This landmark decision vindicates family authority against government overreach, protecting children from secret transitions.
The Supreme Court issued a per curiam opinion siding with parents opposing the policy for religious reasons.
The ruling allows a federal judge’s injunction to take effect, blocking schools from withholding gender identity information without parental consent.
The court ruled that the parents who seek religious exemptions “are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim,” noting that “California’s policies likely trigger strict scrutiny under that provision because they substantially interfere with the ‘right of parents to guide the religious development of their children.'”
The opinion declared the policy an
“intrusion on parents’ free exercise rights,”
especially for those holding biblical views on gender and family.
“The State argues that its policies advance a compelling interest in student safety and privacy.”
“But those policies cut out the primary protectors of children’s best interests: their parents,”
stated the court.
California’s approach conceals critical information and facilitates in-school gender transitions.
It violates parents’ due process rights to direct their children’s education.
Justice Elena Kagan dissented, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, criticizing the Court’s expedited process.
The Thomas More Society hailed it as the
“most significant parental rights ruling in a generation,”
setting precedent to dismantle secret policies nationwide.
This victory reaffirms Proverbs 22:6 — train up a child in the way he should go.
It stands against secular ideologies eroding family sovereignty.
Christian families, stand firm for faith-based education and biblical truth in our schools; contact legislators to protect these freedoms today.

- Adam Christopher Sheafe, 51, charged with first-degree murder for pinning 76-year-old Pastor William Schonemann’s hands to a wall in crucifixion pose.
- Sheafe sought guilty plea and immediate death sentence in court to deliver quick justice for victims’ families.
- Crime part of alleged plot targeting 14 pastors nationwide due to their Christian faith.
This heinous attack on a devoted shepherd of New River Bible Chapel echoes biblical persecution of the faithful, demanding swift divine justice in our land.
Authorities linked Sheafe via burglary evidence, backpack items, and stolen truck after responding to the April 2025 scene.
Prosecutors filed charges including burglary, kidnapping, theft, trespass, and three attempted murders, vowing to pursue capital punishment.
“It’s an undisputable fact that the victim, Pastor Bill Schonemann, was over 70 years old. It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous,” Sheafe declared in court.
“From day one, I’ve said I did this. These are the reasons why I did this, and I’m not contesting anything,” he insisted.
In a confession, Sheafe admitted crafting a crown of thorns for the pastor and plotting assaults in cities like Las Vegas and New York while avoiding bystanders.
Believers must rally in prayer for protection over pastors, upholding America’s godly heritage against Satanic assaults on faith and freedom.
