A California bill that critics say would allow school mental health counselors to send children as young as 12 years old to residential mental health facilities without parental consent has outraged parental rights advocates.
Erin Friday, an attorney and western U.S. regional co-leader for Our Duty, a parental rights group that opposes transgender ideology, told the Assembly judiciary committee on March 28 that the proposed legislation, Assembly Bill (AB) 665, would violate parental rights under federal and state constitutional law.
