New Video: My Testimony (They aren’t going to like this!)
I just posted a new video on YouTube. And I have been working on it for A LONG TIME.
I couldn’t even guesstimate how many hours I have put in on this one. Off and on for months.
I wanted it to be just right, because it is THAT important.
I tried to keep the video as short as I possible. It starts with a brief summary of my DHS case, with the help of my beautiful mini-me Bitmoji. I had to include the summary to set the stage for a recording that I made.
Back in 2019, at the hearing for the termination of my parental rights, I recorded myself reading the letter I had written for the judge while I was on the stand.
Check it out! And please do let me know what you think!

#ParentalRights, #ParentalChoice, and State #PublicEducation Mandates
Nicole Stelle Garnett, University of Notre Dame
Pierce v. #SocietyofSisters and Meyer v. #Nebraska were cases about parental rights in general, and parental choice in particular.
Pierce v. Society of Sisters and Meyer v. Nebraska were cases about parental rights in general, and parental choice in particular. Both centered on a challenge to a state’s legal effort to reduce or eliminate the educational choices available to parents—in the former, by requiring students to attend public schools, in the latter, by requiring instruction in all schools, public and private, be conducted in English. Pierce and Meyer also were about state efforts to forge a homogeneous American citizenry by limiting the educational choices available to parents. As Justice McReynolds observed in Meyer, “The desire of the Legislature to foster a homogeneous people with American ideals . . . is easy to appreciate,” but, as he observed a year later in Pierce, “the fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments in this Union repose excludes any general power of the State to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only.”
