Two Seattle public schools are offering unspecified gender transition services they refer to as “gender affirming care” through in-school clinics, according to public documents and initially reported by Parents Defending Education.
Nova High School and Meany Middle School offer on-site health services including both medical and counseling services through Country Doctor Community Health Centers (CDCHC), a local non-profit that also runs two primary care clinics, according to the schools’ websites. While the school websites do not specify what “gender affirming” services they offer in their clinics, the CDCHC offers cross-sex hormones, referrals for cross-sex surgeries and help with obtaining letters of support for those seeking such procedures, according to their website.
CDCHC does not offer puberty blockers, according to its website.
Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?
In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?
