The Spin

Right narrative

The Supreme Court's decision to block California's policies is a decisive victory for parental rights and common sense. The state's law fundamentally violated the constitutional rights of teachers and parents alike, while usurping the primary authority of the latter in determining the upbringing and education of their children.

Left narrative

The Supreme Court's ruling delivers a significant blow to transgender students by stripping away the protections that shield them from potential rejection, abuse or homelessness. By kowtowing once more to the MAGA crowd, the court has greenlit the revival of forced outing policies that targeted LGBTQ+ students and put their safety at serious risk.
