4. The whole parents' rights claim is a sham.

Only white parents have the right to determine what history is taught in Republican states. Only white parents get to decide which books all schoolchildren are allowed to read.

But even white parents have no rights when it comes to getting medical care for their transgender children. Ignorant state politicians have decided that it doesn’t matter what the parents of those children want, the state will take away their parental rights and decide that those kids get no care. Red states are now also trying to take away parental rights when teens or preteens get pregnant from any cause, including incest and rape. They are criminalizing the act of parents, or anyone else, taking a child across state lines to have an abortion, punishable by 5-10 years in jail. These people are starting to make the Taliban look like moderates. They obviously do not care what happens to the children.
