Join us for the third episode of the Natural Law Moment! In an episode recorded before the Supreme Court decided U.S. v. Skrmetti, Professors Arkes and Bradley take up the issue of parental rights in our jurisprudence. Does deference to parental rights truly encompass a right to opt-out of regime that would regulate surgeries and therapies related to gender dysphoria for minors? The framework for understanding the stakes of the case was notably silent on the moral questions at the heart of parental rights as well. They discuss the cases and state statutes leading up to Skrmetti, among them: Buck v. Bell, Skinner v. Oklahoma, Brown v. Board of Education. They also discuss how the Supreme Court will consider the contours of parental rights again next term in Chiles v. Salazar. The question Arkes and Bradley consider behind all these cases is that of the legitimacy of moral normativity in legal jurisprudence. Tune in!
