The U.S. Constitution affirms the fundamental right of parents to make decisions about their own child's education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. But this right is now being threatened by state agencies and courts throughout the country, thanks to a wave of transgender activism.

These are examples in which parents have lost their children through the court system:

• Jeff Younger, a Texas father, lost his years-long battle in the courts to keep his ex-wife from allowing their pre-teen son, who identifies as a girl named “Luna,” to receive gender-affirming care.
• Dennis Hannon, a New York father -- – thanks to a decision by the Erie County Supreme Court -- lost all parental rights except for visitation rights to see his nine-year-old son, who had been living as a girl on the days he stayed with Hannon’s ex-wife.
• Jeremy and Mary Cox, an Indiana couple, lost custody of their trans teen when the Department of Child Services recommended to a County Judge that the teen be placed in a home that “affirms her identity.”

On the state level, the Colorado legislature is currently considering HB25-1312, 'Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals.' This bill allows one parent to declare that their child is LGBTQ or transgender, and then accuse the other parent of abuse or coercive control simply for disagreeing—even if the child never expressed that identity themselves. To counter this wave of transgender activism, earlier this year, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), introduced the Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act, (S.204) and (H.R. 650). This legislation would protect the right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and health care of their children by applying the strict scrutiny standard.  

Part of the problem lies with public schools that have established transgender policies that serve to keep parents in the dark about their child who is being transitioned: 

• Illinois: Community Unit School District 300 uses a gender support plan that states the gender identity of students can be hidden from parents.
• Washington: Cheney Public Schools has a policy that states the gender identity of students should be hidden from parents.

SAVE calls upon Congress to swiftly pass the Families' Rights and Responsibilities Act.
