Children are not getting surgery in any significant numbers. This is a made up right wing talking point

You could say the same about child abuse. That doesn’t make it not disgusting or unimportant. If you have to hide the things you are doing to children from the parents, you’re doing a bad thing.

Not necessarily true. A bunch of parents would prohibit their children from using contraceptives if they had total control.

The notion that it’s a school’s place to usurp the parent’s choices of how to raise the kid is the problem here. If the majority of the parents oppose that, the school shouldn’t do it. It’s a public school, it should serve the interests and desires of the public.

A majority of parents opposed integration, doesn't mean they shouldn't have done it.

Leave it to the left to liken freeing the slaves to coercing children into irreversible surgery.

My school taught me the difference between 'integration' and 'emancipation'.

And my school taught me the definition of consent.
