Since January, children in Washington state ages 13 and up can obtain confidential treatment for mental health conditions and gender dysphoria using their parent’s insurance plan—without their parents’ consent.
Now, the state is considering a bill to set up health clinics on middle and high school campuses. Parents fear these clinics will talk children into dangerous and irreversible medical treatments such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to make their bodies look more like the opposite sex.
“This bill would allow a child to make an appointment during the school day, and Mom and Dad would never know about it,” said Jennifer Heine-Withee, a mother of three who runs Washington Parents Rights in Education.
In many states, including Washington, teenage girls may already leave classes to get an abortion or obtain contraceptives without their parents’ knowledge....
Look at a nationwide county level electoral map. Even in some of the bluest states like Washington, most of the counties are red. People need to realize that our differences are mostly irreconcilable and the two sides should not be forced to live together. Alot of conflict can be dissuaded by separation and secession and just letting people do as they please. Why should the Godless heathens in Olympia and Seattle control what goes on in schools in eastern Washington? Same in NY, IL, and pretty much every state.

I agree brother, when possible Christian parents should home school. So much of their character is formed at young ages.
And please remember that I am praying for your autistic child every night and for you and your wife. The Lord is sovereign and He will provide.
