The Fascist Flu outbreak hits the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals especially hard.

Sadly, there is no cure. The best we can do is remove those afflicted from power so they cannot infect others.

A new ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is prompting cries of judicial activism.

On Wednesday the court dismissed a lawsuit brought by California parents who were outraged over a sex survey given to public school students in the first, third and fifth grades.

Where's Governor 'Roid Rage when you need him?

Among other things, the survey administered by the Palmdale School District asked children if they ever thought about having sex or touching other people's "private parts" and whether they could "stop thinking about having sex."

The parents argued that they -- not the public schools -- have the sole right "to control the upbringing of their children by introducing them to matters of and relating to sex."

But on Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit dismissed the case, saying, "There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children...Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students."

Again, get your kids out of the government schools.

Judge Stephen Reinhardt, writing for the panel, said "no such specific right can be found in the deep roots of the nation's history and tradition or implied in the concept of ordered liberty." (Thanks to CNSNews.com for the heads up.)

Put down the crack pipe, Reinhardt, and stay at least 200 feet from all schools and playgrounds.
