The Justice Department is investigating three Michigan school districts for allegedly teaching Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity education without parental consent. This investigation is long overdue.
As the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on March 2 in Mirabelli v. Bonta, parental rights are constitutional rights. Michigan’s quiet approval of SOGI education undermines these rights and threatens the best interests of children. The Justice Department’s investigation into Detroit, Godfrey-Lee, and Lansing school districts is an important step towards addressing this threat.
