1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Can't f I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 3: Louke Penrose sitting in for John Colbelt. Thank you for 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 3: tuning again. Good to have you along with us. It's 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 3: being called a huge win for parents today at the 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 3: Supreme Court, a case involving Muslim parents, Catholic parents, and 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 3: Ukrainian Orthodox parents in Maryland sued to have their children 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 3: opt out of a. 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: Portion of the curriculum that. 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 3: Involved LGBTQ themed storybooks in the public school. They said 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 3: violated their First Amendment right to direct their children's religious upbringing. 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: ABC News legal analyst Royal Oaks is with us, Thanks 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: for hopping on. 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 3: So the originally this school district allowed parents to opt out, 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: but then changed and didn't allow them to opt out. 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: What went on there? 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 4: Cool folks, You knows a legitimate part of the curriculum 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 4: and there's a lesson plan, and why should the parents 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 4: to be able to disrupt things? But I think the 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 4: reason the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of the 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 4: parents is because you know, we're only talking about elementary 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 4: school kids. We're not talking about you know, high school 23 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 4: seniors that are more exposed to the world, and you know, 24 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 4: let them have a vigorous debate. What the parents said was, look, 25 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: this offends our religion. We just don't want the teachers 26 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 4: standing up and you know, preaching to our kids about 27 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 4: trans riots and LGBTQ stuff. You know, that's for later 28 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 4: for the little kids. We want to be able to 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 4: opt out. And went all the way after the US 30 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 4: Supreme Court and you know, the conservative majority, Justice Alito 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 4: wrote it. He said, you know, schools are burdening parental 32 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: religious beliefs. So the parents went, I have. 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: Kids elementary school and middle school aged. 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 3: I've received those little notices where you have to sign 35 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: for like a health class, and it's it's like those 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: of us that have children in elementary school or even 37 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: I remember doing it when I was in elementary school. 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: There was some you know, signature how to get my 39 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: mom before sex said, so this is not unique at 40 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: school districts, but it is peculiar to hear that they 41 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: removed the opt out option. 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're right. I mean personally, I don't remember 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: elementary school because it was before World War two. For me, 44 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 4: it's part of the culture war. I mean, let's face it, 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 4: you know, it's just in our face all of these 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 4: hot button issues that I think, you know, Trump rode 47 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 4: to victory on and he succeeded in keeping him front 48 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: and center just to be has to be hashed out. 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: But you know, ultimately US Supreme Court decided we really 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 4: got to stick with the parents of this one. 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: So how broad is this because I mean the specific 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 3: they're talking about an LGBTQ themed story book. I looked 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 3: at the covers of the book and they looked like 54 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 3: books that referenced or talked about same sex couples. Here 55 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: in California, we have arguments about books that go far 56 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: beyond just referencing a same sex couple. 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we have sex manuals. 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: Big taught in some of the school districts that people 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: are yelling and screaming about. But when we talk about 60 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 3: violating their religious speech, that's broad thing. Right. Then you're 61 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: talking about parents that could object to materials that has 62 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: nothing to do with marriage or LGBTQ issues, but much 63 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: broader issues. 64 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: How limited is this decision? 65 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 5: Now? 66 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 4: It's a great point, and you know, we don't really 67 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: know because there's no way a decision can say, Okay, 68 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the one hundred most common 69 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 4: controversial study plans instead. What they're doing is just saying, 70 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 4: in general, if you're violating the rights of people who 71 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 4: have religious beliefs that are sort of legitimate parts of society, 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: then you have to be very sensitive to that. Of course, 73 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: you can always come up with somebody who says, you know, well, 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: I'm a Zoroastrian resecretion and I believe that, you know, 75 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: smoking ganja is a religious sacrament. Then the courts are 76 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 4: going to say, you know, nice try. But here you 77 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 4: had Muslim folks, you had fundamentalist Christian people, and so 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: you had the a Supreme Court saying, you know, it 79 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 4: is an easy but in this case, based on the 80 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: facts presented to us, parents win. Next case that comes 81 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 4: along might be too broad, and the court might say, oh, 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: you know, this is pretty mella, this is vanilla stuff, 83 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 4: and it's really silly for you to object. So the 84 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 4: parents might lose next time. 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: Given that, are you surprised it made it to the 86 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: Supreme Court? 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think this is a pretty 88 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: easy decision to make. I'm I read the descent well, 89 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: I want to ask you about that in a second. 90 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: But are you surprised this made it all the way 91 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court of the United States. 92 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not really, because, first of all, it only 93 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: takes four of the nine justices to say we want 94 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: to hear this case. And although they only take one 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 4: percent or so of the cases presented to them, this 96 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: is kind of a red meat decision. And so you know, 97 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 4: the Alito wrote the big majority saying, you know, you're 98 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 4: burdening parental religious beliefs by forcing kids to attend instruction 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 4: that's contrary to their faith. You've got Clarence Thomas concurring, saying, 100 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: you know, denying opt out relief in fringes on religious exercise. 101 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 4: But as you suggested, you know, the dissenters, the three liberals, 102 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 4: so I R, Kagan, and Jackson, they were not happy 103 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: with this ruling. 104 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a minute, just I want to comment on. 105 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: I want you to comment on there. On their descent, 106 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 3: they basically said, look, this is America. 107 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: This is what we teach. If you don't like it, homeschool, 108 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: your kid will go to private school. What do you 109 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: make of that? 110 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, they warned this ruling is going to disrupt 111 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: public education. It's going to stigmatize kids. It's going to 112 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: let religious opt outs on wide ranging subjects. So they 113 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: were pretty angry. I know you only have a few seconds, 114 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: but I know, Lou, you were huge in San Diego. 115 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: Would you mind getting the word of the padres stop struggling. 116 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: You're not going to be show hereing the Dodgers. I'd 117 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 4: appreciate it because I keep hearing from San Diego friends 118 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: it's like, like, they have a chance. Do you think 119 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: you could do something about that. 120 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: I'll do my best. ABC adalyst Royloaks, thanks so much. 121 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: I appreciate you jumping on busy day for the legal 122 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: analyst community in America. In broadcasting, both on radio and 123 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: TELL Division, we grab them to get their thoughts, and 124 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a good discussion. So when 125 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: we come back, there is a difference between referencing marriage 126 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: equality in public schools in curriculum, and we can argue 127 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 3: about what age we can reference that and the sex 128 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 3: guides that we have now in some of the curriculum statewide, 129 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: and we hear all these debates about going on at school. 130 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: Board meetings, and I think there's a huge distinction here. 131 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: So I want to kind of clarify what is being 132 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: taught and what is being objected to, and the whole 133 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: religious freedom thing opens up a huge can of worms. 134 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: We'll get to that next. 135 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 3: Loup Penrose sitting in for John coblt KFI AM six forty. 136 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 137 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 6: six forty. 138 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: Loup Penrose sitting in for John Cobelt. So, the Supreme 139 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 3: Court ruled in favor of parents' rights, and that always 140 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: is a good thing. I think that this is a 141 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: good step with respect to right sizing the role parents 142 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: have in. 143 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Their public school curriculum. 144 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: It is a little curious to me that the argument 145 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 3: was made on religious freedom, and I'll explain. 146 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: So. 147 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: The concern to the Muslim, Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox parents 148 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: in Maryland was that the curriculum here included LGBTQ themed 149 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: storybooks in public schools and it violated their First Amendment 150 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: right because their religions don't support such a thing. And 151 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: that may be so, and it's okay that those parents 152 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: want to opt out, so. 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: They should have the right to opt out. 154 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: But we need to be very careful, and this is 155 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: where I think we have a maturity problem in this 156 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: country with far too many people. I think there are 157 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: far too many immature adults that engage on these issues. 158 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: There is immaturity, certainly in the LGBTQ advocacy community. With 159 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: respect to public education, there really is. They have to 160 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: argue with them about whether or not you can talk 161 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: to third graders about this stuff, and they won't give 162 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: And often is the case, parents will say, you know, 163 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: that's all fine, you can talk about that to high 164 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: school students. 165 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: Why must it start in the third grade. 166 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: Why do you have to introduce these themes in the 167 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 3: third grade. Can't you wait till fourth grade? And the 168 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: LGBTQ community dig in their heels and call you homophobic, 169 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: and that's and around the merry go round we go. 170 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 3: So it really is time to inject a little maturity 171 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: in these discussions. 172 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: There is. 173 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: An oppertunity to reference or even outright talk about same 174 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 3: sex marriage in our country. And you can certainly talk 175 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 3: about it in public school, and you can have books 176 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: that reference same sex couples or books that are really 177 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: that that could be the leading character in the book 178 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 3: is the same sex couple, And it really wouldn't throw 179 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: off any child. They would be more interested in the 180 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: story itself, because children only react to what we react to. 181 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: As soon as a bunch of parents react and say, well, 182 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: what's going on here? Suppost be a man and a woman, 183 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: not a man and a man, Then all of a 184 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: sudden it becomes very exciting the children, and then they 185 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: get caught up on it, and again it just becomes 186 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: a circus. So I am pro mari, I'm pretty Republican, 187 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: and I have been pro marriage equality way before the 188 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: National Democrat Party would. I am Republican and I was 189 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: pro marriage equality before President Barack Obama. 190 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: I was for marriage equality before. 191 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: Senator, Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. So 192 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: I feel like I have standing on this issue. There 193 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: were not many Republicans, frankly, with me. It was like 194 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 3: basically me, Carl Demyo, and Barbara Bush. But look how 195 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: far we've come. So I'm a huge fan of marriage equality, 196 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: and I'm very proud of how far the party has come. 197 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 3: I'm proud of how far the culture has come, and 198 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 3: I'm proud of how. 199 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Far the nation has come. 200 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 3: And we are now living in twenty twenty five and 201 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: there are same sex couples living everywhere in our society, 202 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 3: in our culture, openly. 203 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: And proud, so there's no reason to hide them. 204 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: And if the story just happens to contain a same 205 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: sex couple, referencing that in film, in cartoons, in literature, 206 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 3: even children's books is not a problem because it reflects 207 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: the society that these children are in. I think what 208 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 3: a lot of these parents in Maryland were concerned about 209 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: is the things that we see here in California, which 210 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:19,359 Speaker 3: are not stories that have same sex couples in them, 211 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 3: but rather full on sex manuals. 212 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: And that's the problem. 213 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: And I think we are able to make the distinction, 214 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: I really do. I mean, you could have books that 215 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: reference a mom and a dad and that would be 216 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: okay and still be object and subject to the sex 217 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: manuals that they're trying to push out at the Temechila 218 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 3: Valley Unified School District out in Riverside, So it is possible, 219 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 3: But I will put the the weight of the issue 220 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: on the lgbt community themselves. Frankly, I think it is 221 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: time for the leadership of the LGBTQ community, particularly the 222 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 3: g I don't I don't see the l stepping up 223 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: lesbian's kind of they're out. 224 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: They don't get involved. 225 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: In political issues because they're they're good, they're fine. 226 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: But it is like normal gay men need to step up. 227 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: And police your own community and say, hey, guys, quiet down, 228 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: you're gonna ruin it for the rest of us, Like 229 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: stop with the sex manuals. 230 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: Be happy that we've come this far. 231 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 3: And it's cool that parents aren't pulling their kids out 232 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: of school because there happened to be a gay character 233 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 3: in a book in the fourth grade. 234 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Like people aren't losing their mind over that. 235 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 3: So it takes time, Like I I don't, I don't. 236 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 3: I don't know anybody that has a problem with same 237 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 3: sex couples or what I call marriage equality, and like 238 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: many people under the age of sixty don't know anybody 239 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 3: that's opposed to Like I know, I had maniacs that 240 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 3: I know that are opposed to it, but like normal 241 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: people are not opposed to it. 242 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: So our children shouldn't be opposed. 243 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 3: To it, and it shouldn't be you shouldn't insulate them 244 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: or isolate them from that reality. 245 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: But the issue. 246 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: Becomes controversial because it doesn't take long before just referencing 247 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: a gay character in a book is accepted and the 248 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: next thing. 249 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: You know, they're you know, having. 250 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 3: Books and manuals with cucumbers and all kinds of ways 251 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 3: that you can save money in getting dittle toys like 252 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: it just becomes a circus and then the whole thing 253 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 3: falls apart and everybody draws digs in on their side, 254 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 3: and the thing becomes a great, big Supreme Court discussion, 255 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: what's the verdict? 256 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 7: So this brought together a coalition of parents of different 257 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 7: religious faiths and. 258 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,119 Speaker 1: Backgrounds who said. 259 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 7: There used to be a rule in this particular school 260 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 7: district that would let them know when there were books 261 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 7: that dealt with issues that may be in conflict with 262 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 7: their religious faith. Well, so many parents were opting out 263 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,239 Speaker 7: that the school board and the school. 264 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: District quit doing it. 265 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, very school board thinking there, I know school boards. 266 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: I know the people that populate school boards. I know 267 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 3: the kinds of people that would run for a school board. 268 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: And that is very school board thinking. 269 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody's opting out. 270 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 3: All the parents are opting out, So let's stop them 271 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 3: from opting out and force what we want them to 272 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: know and what we want their children to know upon them, 273 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 3: and if they get mad, we'll just fight and go 274 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: to court because we don't want parents telling us what 275 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 3: to do. That's a very school board thinking. That's the 276 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 3: way these maniacs on the school board think. So I'm 277 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: not surprised that in Maryland they just say, well, let's 278 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: remove the opt out requirement, thinking that will solve all 279 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: the problems. All the parents will just shut up and 280 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: sit down. School districts and school boards have a very 281 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: shut up and sit down attitude with respect to parents. 282 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: So I am happy that the parents got to win today. 283 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: I am cautiously optimistic that this will sort out with 284 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: mature minds. I am concerned that they went on the 285 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 3: First Amendment violation because once you open the Pandora's box 286 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: of this violates my First Amendment right to be religiously 287 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: insulated from something like that, then you really are gonna 288 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: go down a road that I don't think we need 289 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: to go down. So we'll see where this takes us, 290 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 3: and we'll see how what the next court challenge is 291 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 3: going to be to this. But I suspect there'll be 292 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: something next that we'll get these folks back into court. 293 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: All right, coming up another Supreme Court decision. 294 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 3: Which involves naughty websites.

And probably the most expensive single thing that 307 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: any sing that a. 308 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: City does is the firework show. 309 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: And they're canceling the firework show and the reasons are 310 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 3: not good. 311 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's right. I think this is. 312 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: Completely unacceptable. I mean, come on, why do the illegals 313 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: get to win. The people that paid the taxes to 314 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 3: the city should get their fireworks show. 315 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that coming up. 316 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: But first, the Supreme Court issued a number of rulings today. 317 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: We talked about birthright citizenship, we talked about the parents' rights. 318 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: Now the parents have a right to opt. 319 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 3: Out if LGBTQ material is being taught on a specific 320 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 3: subject or a week.
