California: Home
of the idiot parent!

Last week, in the space of this column, I argued vehemently for the rights of parents to not be taken up by the state of California, or the black-robed judges of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I believed I had good reason to.

I believed that the parents of one of the biggest states in our nation would see themselves as more responsible suppliers of sexual material in the education of their kids than the corrupt public schools, and particularly the insultingly arrogant superintendent who claimed not to know that his schools were asking questions of 6-year-olds that would be inappropriate even for 22-year-olds.

I believed that the parents of California were worthy of their children's respect. I believed they would be a more consistent moral voice in the training of their children, particularly their 6-year-olds, when it came to the moral issues facing their children's sexual behavior.

I believed that the parents of California would want to infuse their mixture of family faith beliefs into the basis of reasoning for why and how their child would form their decision-making process in the sexual arena.

I believed that school personnel who tried to interfere with such deeply personal matters were truly the offenders of decency and common sense. I believed that the court was wrong in mandating that every school district in the western third of our nation could more or less illustrate, teach, demonstrate and ask children to participate in the radical sexual agenda being taught in the schools. I believed there was even the possibility that the parents would actually know more than the school about what was best for their children, and I was quite sure they would know better than the courts.

I wish I had been right.

It was an entirely admirable thing for me to attempt to argue that the parents had the moral right and the divine position in their children's lives to teach their children what appropriate sexual expression was. I was even hoping that parents in California might teach their children that the healthiest form of sex they can experience is to reserve it until they are married, and to practice it exclusively within their marriage relationship until they pass from this life.

I had hoped that parents would stand-up, be heroes for their children's best interests, and send the message to the schools and the courts that they were here to stay.

But all of that preceded the most irresponsible vote ever cast by a plurality of parents on a state referendum.

In voting down Proposition 73 on the ballot, it was the parents of California who – in a majority vote – decided to sell out themselves as to having any rights to their children's well being, and they sold out their children to the influences of the major abortion providers in that state.

Forget activist judges, forget corrupt legislators, forget an unpopular governor – this wasn't about any of them.

Proposition 73 was the key to parents being able to know that their minor daughter would not be butchered in an abortion procedure. This was their chance to have at least 48 hours to embrace their daughter's difficult position and point her in a healthier direction for her life, and the life of her child.

But Prop 73 wasn't overruled by an activist judge – it was spit upon, stomped in the mud, and voted away by parents.

California has long suffered from the incredibly stupid antics of Hollywood, corrupt governors, mayors and legislators. As a state, it has often moved the rest of the nation to more liberal positions on many issues. But on Election Day 2005, California became the home of the Idiot Parent, who gave away their own rights to protect their own children.

They drank the Kool-Aid and believed they were doing what was right. They did not guard their rights, and now they have given them away.

Parents in California who voted against Prop 73 – or sat at home and did not vote at all – equally contributed to the situation that will now end up taking many of their daughters' lives. And as far as I'm concerned, they should lose custody of their kids immediately.

It can't be explained or justified, and that's what makes it so damnable. These parents have abandoned their children, and are stupid enough to believe they have actually done them a favor.

What pathetic people.
