  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A court has ruled that a couple’s lawsuit against a Michigan school district over concealing their daughter’s gender identity change from them can proceed.

Dan and Jennifer Mead filed a complaint against Rockford Public School District officials over its policy of keeping their daughter’s self-declared gender identity a secret from her parents.

United States District Judge Paul Maloney, a George W. Bush appointee, issued an opinion and order last week that partly denied and granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Maloney wrote that the lawsuit “contains sufficient factual allegations to support a claim for a violation of Plaintiffs’ fundamental rights as parents in the care, custody and control of their child, a right protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.”

My son and daughter-in-law can't even see my grandson's medical records now that he's 12! Government wants to take kids away from their parents.

What? He's a minor? My mom can still see mine (she's the emergency contact) and I'm almost 30!

How is that possible? He's a minor? That's so odd!
Here's the AI explanation:

In Michigan, parents generally have full access to their 12-year-old's medical records due to state privacy laws and federal HIPAA regulations, but this access typically changes on the child's 13th birthday or once they receive confidential care. A 12-year-old can also consent to certain specific medical treatments, such as those related to sexual health, mental health, or substance abuse, for which their records remain confidential from their parents. By law, access to a minor's electronic health records (like those on patient portals) is automatically limited when they turn 11 or 13 years old, depending on the facility, and can change depending on the specific type of care provided.
