On March 31, 2026, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Colorado Conversion Therapy Law – which prohibited counselors from telling children the truth about toxic Trans Drugs was unconstitutional. This ruling should overturned Bob Ferguson’s ruling in Tingley v Ferguson – which is an identical and equally despicable law here in Washington state that has severely harmed the mental health of thousands of children during the past 8 years. In addition, professional child counselors, who typically spend years taking graduate level courses on child development and brain development, have been treated very badly by the idiots currently running Olympia – and these counselors who have devoted their lives to helping children deserve an apology.
Will Criminals like Ferguson and Reykdal say they are sorry and agree to comply with the US Constitution?
Sadly, we at the Washington Parents Network believe that the insane and corrupt leaders of Washington state will simply ignore this important Supreme Court ruling and continue to prohibit child counselors from telling kids the truth about toxic Trans Drugs. Instead, they will simply add this ruling as one more of their now many violations of the US Constitution.
Just a few weeks ago, on March 2, 2026, the US Supreme Court issued an 18 page ruling in the California Parents rights case called Maribelli v Bonta. The Supreme Court condemned the policy of keeping major medical decisions like a child attempting to change their gender hidden from the child’s parents. Sadly, the anti-parent leaders of Washington state refused to comply with that court order or related parents rights laws such as FERPA. In addition to failing to comply with Maribelli v Bonta, Washington’s arrogant and insane leaders have failed to comply with Tennessee v Cardona (Title IX enforcement ruling) and Students V Harvard (Title VI Equal Rights ruling). Once one federal law is being broken, why not just break them all?
We believe that Washington’s Trans Drug Cult leaders will not comply with either the US Constitution or the Supreme Court until they are threatened with the loss of billions of dollars in federal funds due to their many failures to comply with federal laws. We at the Washington Parents Network have filed several parents rights complaints with the US Department of Justice asking for just such a remedy. And we will continue to file complaints until the rights of Parents and Families are finally restored in our state.
Background
Since 2018, Washington has banned counselors from speaking with gender confused children about the underlying causes of their gender confusion. As insane as it sounds, Senate Bill 5722 required licensed counselors in Washington to promote state-sponsored child abuse of giving gender confused children toxic Trans drugs – instead of providing kids with the counseling they really needed to deal with their emotional problems.
This crazy law was an attack on our free speech rights under the First Amendment. It was also an attack on the scientific method as science requires the ability to consider all points of view – and not be limited to only the official dogma. Finally, this Ferguson Trans Drug Cult law was an attack on at-risk children – because it forces children to go down a deadly drug path and prevents them from having access to counseling that might help them overcome their mental health problems.
For the past eight years, Bob Ferguson and his accomplices in the Teachers Union and the legacy media have been telling several Big Lies – including his claim that a federal law called Title IX requires us to allow boys in the girls bathroom and allow boys to compete in girls sports. The driving force behind this law is not a concern for Trangender children but the extreme greed of the drug industry that is making billions of dollars in profits by getting vulnerable children addicted to toxic Trans drugs.
Thankfully, on March 31, 2026, the Supreme Court finally exposed these lies. In a case called Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that laws restricting the free speech rights of counselors unconstitutionally violates the First Amendment. Here are some quotes from the 2026 March 31 US Supreme Court 66 page ruling in Chiles v Salazar:
“The First Amendment protects the inalienable right of every individual to decide for himself “how best to speak.” The First Amendment protects the right of all to speak their minds… The First Amendment stands as a bulwark against any effort to prescribe an orthodoxy of views, reflecting a belief that each American enjoys an inalienable right to speak his mind and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for finding truth. Laws like Colorado’s, which suppress speech based on viewpoint, represent an egregious assault on both commitment...”
“When the government seeks not just to restrict speech based on its subject matter, but also seeks to dictate what particular “opinion or perspective” individuals may express on that subject, “the violation of the First Amendment is all the more blatant.”
“Colorado’s law does not just regulate the content of Ms. Chiles’s speech. It goes a step further, prescribing what views she may and may not express. The Constitution does not protect the right of some to speak freely; it protects the right of all. It safeguards not only popular ideas; it secures, even and especially, the right to voice dissenting views.”
Conclusion… We must continue the fight for Parents Rights
The recent Supreme Court rulings are not just a victory for the rights of counselors to speak the truth and the rights of parents to be told the truth, but also a victory for anyone who believes in our First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion.
Sadly, those of us living in Washington state must continue to contend with crazy leaders who do not support these First Amendment Rights. This is why we at the Washington Parents Network will continue to expose their crimes and work toward the day when parents rights and family rights are restored in our State.
