It seems like "parental rights" is the new strategy that far right radicals are using to erode personal rights and freedoms. Up here in Canada they're using it to force gender non-conforming children to be outted to their parents by their schools, and even acknowledge the violation to the rights of children through the use of the notwithstanding clause: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sask-bill-137-notwithstanding-clause-1.6993335
That's because it was never about rights. It is about property.
Women used to be men's property.
Children used to be parents' property.
Minorities used to be white people's property.
The right doesn't want people's rights, they want property rights.
