School Board Backs Down on Hiding Kids’ Medical Info

In a country where school teachers can’t give out a Tylenol without legal forms being filled out, it is astounding that school districts think they can take kids off campus for “medical services”, i.e. abortions or counseling, without parents’ knowledge. The American child-killing cult (abortion supporters)  is a good example of what happens to the human mind in this kind of depraved state. All reason, all rationality, all normal thinking is impossible. The goal becomes the murder of a child in the womb, and not even the parents supposedly have a right to know about this dangerous medical procedure being done on their daughter.

Thanks to Brad Dacus and the Pacific Justice Institute, a school board in California backed down from their plans to keep girls’ absences for “medical treatment” a secret from parents, but the vote was 3-2. What kind of community leadership have people elected to office where a vote would be this close on an issue so basic as parents’ rights? Here’s the statement issued by the Pacific Justice Institute.

School District Backs Down
From Plan to Hide Kids’ Medical Info from Parents

Sacramento, CA – At a packed school board meeting last night, the San Juan Unified School District reversed course and voted 3-2 not to go forward with a proposal to hide information from parents about student absences for so-called “confidential medical services,” such as abortions.

After Pacific Justice Institute learned two weeks ago that the school board was quietly moving to exclude parents, PJI sounded the alarm and sent a legal opinion letter to the Board warning of potential liability for failing to inform parents about their children’s whereabouts.

PJI President Brad Dacus addressed the Board last night.  He commented, “We are pleased that the San Juan school board listened to the community and abandoned this disastrous proposal.  This is a victory for everyone who believes in parental responsibility and local control of school decisions.”

Pacific Justice Institute recently assisted parents in Modesto in defeating a very similar proposal.  PJI is currently working with community leaders in Thousand Oaks to ensure that the school board respects parents’ rights to be informed when their children leave school for any reason.

Many school districts throughout California have policies that prevent parents from finding out whether their children have left school for serious medical treatments or counseling.  Parents seeking more information about changing such policies should contact Pacific Justice Institute.  With four offices and more than 500 affiliate attorneys on the West Coast, PJI is ready to go head-to-head with any school district that maintains anti-parent policies in defiance of community values.

   Thank the Lord God for using the Pacific Institute in bringing light to this subject to parent's. But woe to these coward's and hypocrites for trying to use a back door approach to voting on this subject. They were trying to do what the Democrat's did with the hate crimes bill. These people are blind thinking they know better than the parent's. Parent's and these school board member's will stand before the Lord God.

   “In a country where school teachers can’t give out a Tylenol without legal forms being filled out,”

   That's funny… back when I was in High School ( Beaver Dam Senior High), if someone had a headache or whatever, we'd go down to the office and the secretary would produce from under the counter a large bottle of white aspirins – the bellyburners – and simply hand us out a few…. Those were the days
