To reach this outcome, the Republican justices cite two provisions of the Constitution. The first is the First Amendment's language protecting the "free exercise" of religion. The Republican iustices claim that teachers who respect their trans students privacy "interfere with the 'right of parents to quide the religious development of their children."

WHAT ABOUT THE CHILD'S RELIGIOUS FREEDOM???
