[Time 34:00]; DNC and “freedom”. While Republicans are more likely to have a conservative perspective towards cross-sex procedures, I believe that Trans people are safer when Republicans are in office. A Trans neighbor moved from the upper Tenderloin to lower nob hill due to concern about personal safety since Covid. She told me that she likes the “peace of mind” that she has in her new neighborhood. I tell this story because many freedoms are downstream from public safety.

Thank you Professor Loury for having the courage to publicly defend parents’ rights. In my state of California, our big city mayors and state governor view parents as the enemy and students as school property. Could parent voters cause a Trump win in California?

Parents’ rights ensure that parents are allowed to protect their children from harm according to personally-defined standards. Removing this fundamental right over state concern about abuse requires evidence and data; both of which are missing at the government’s end of the discussion. Instead of small Hepworth, the big APA should be the one presenting this argument.
