Chris Geidner added,
At least just reading the motion, it doesn't seem shocking? Texas law requires parental permission; the student challenges that law; Texas intervened to defend the constitutionality of the law.
And the motion cites a CA11 case where a similar parental-permission-required statute was upheld against a facial attack. So, I wouldn't say that the motion (which is just to intervene to defend the constitutionality of the law) is bonkers.
Surely the individual child has some rights of conscience?
Perhaps! But this is being framed as "there goes the Texas AG again!" when I think it's fairly straight-forward motion, even if the law is ultimately struck down.
This is a ridiculous position to take.
That there's an 11th Circuit decision and Texas lawmakers who have done something doesn't make it NOT an effort that is being taken intentionally in the absurd environment — coming from the president — regarding protests in which we live.
So is the 11th Circuit decision just completely indefensible? That seems to be an under-discussed background fact that colors the AG's action here, no?
