We’ve filed a brief defending rights in a case where school officials punished a 1st grader for the innocent use of “any life” below a "Black Lives Matter" drawing. School administrators are state actors who wield extraordinary power over the families of more than 65M children attending public schools. They must not be allowed to punish children on a whim whenever their own hypersensitive political views are offended.

Parents have had rights long before Newsom and will have them long after he is gone.

PK-12 minor students, most of whom are too young to drive, vote, or provide medical consent for themselves, are also too young to make life-altering decisions without their parents’ knowledge. But that’s what enables—so we’re fighting back.

So you'll combat “disinformation” to protect your reputation but won't ensure parents have information to protect their child's well-being? Governor Newsom, stop putting politics before parents.

🚨BREAKING: We have filed a lawsuit challenging

School officials do not have the right to keep secrets from parents, but parents do have a constitutional right to know what their minor children are doing at school. Parents are the legal guardians of their children, NOT Newsom, Bonta, or Thurmond.

We have filed our opening brief in legal challenge to the proposed federal TikTok ban.

This law would shut down an important forum for political speech & the spread of ideas, and the law’s supporters in Congress admit that they voted for it for the most illegitimate reason possible: to suppress the spread of ideas they don’t like.

The Court must block this law before it goes into to effect, or our client and the 170 million other Americans who use TikTok will be irreparably harmed.

The lawsuit had received a groundswell of support as 9 amicus briefs supporting the challenge were filed by organizations & individuals across the political spectrum including , Erwin Chemerinsky & grassroots social & racial justice nonprofits.
