CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 30, 2025
THE SUPREME COURT ON FRIDAY ISSUED ITS FINAL RULINGS OF THIS TERM.
TWO OF THE RULINGS THAT MOST INTERESTED ME WERE THE ONE RESTRAINING DISTRICT FEDERAL COURTS FROM ISSUING OPINIONS THAT APPLY TO THE ENTIRE NATION. THIS WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP. THOSE SUING IN FEDERAL COURT ON THIS ISSUE WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THEY SPEAK FOR AN ENTIRE CLASS OF PEOPLE, NOT JUST THEIR OWN INTERESTS.
THE SECOND RULING GRANTS PARENTS THE RIGHT TO TAKE THEIR KIDS OUT OF CLASSES THAT USE LGBTQ BOOKS AND OTHER MATERIALS THAT ARE COUNTER TO THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. PARENTS FROM SEVERAL DIFERENT RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND HAD SUED FOR THE RIGHT TO REMOVE THEIR CHILDREN FROM CLASSES THAT TEACH THESE THINGS. CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS KINDERGARTEN WERE BEING INDOCTRINATED.
LIBERAL JUSTICE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON WROTE IN A DISSENTING OPINION THAT PARENTS COULD ALWAYS OPT FOR A PRIVATE OR HOME SCHOOL. BETTER TO HAVE A NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE OPTION THAT WOULD ALLOW TAX DOLLARS TO FOLLOW WHEREVER A PARENT WISHES TO SEND TEIR CHILD.
IN ALL IT’S A VICTORY, NOT ONLY FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, BUT FOR PARENTS AND COMMON SENSE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
