SCOTUS says NO to California schools hiding gender identity from parents

All right, there's a couple of news items I've not gotten to the past couple of days here

that I really want to want to dive into today. Good afternoon, everybody. Nice to see you. I mean,

I can say that to you guys here. Nice to see all of you, but I can't say nice to see the others

because I can't see them. But it's nice to be with you. How about if I say it that way? It's a

pleasure to be with you on this fine, fine afternoon. And there's much going on, much that we haven't,

that we just haven't, I don't want to say we haven't taken the time or I don't want to say we

have, we don't have the time, but we haven't really necessarily taken the time to dive into some of

these because, you know, we prioritize things. History class is very important. And we definitely

prioritize history class. We've got to get to it, got to get to it when it's time we go there.

So some of these reports I've not gotten to, but today I want to get to them. And one of them has

to do with the legal system. The other has to do with the medical system and they all affect our

kids, both of them, both stories here affect our kids. The first one, let's go to the legal world

first. Oh, yes, let's go there first because this is groundbreaking. This we've been expecting this

anticipating it. The Supreme Court has come out and they have blocked California's policy

concealing gender identity changes from parents. Yes, that's true. The Supreme Court has said,

no, you can't hide this from parents. Parents and teachers had asked the high court to rule on the case

after a federal appeals court had reinstated the state policy. We have this continual battle

by the way, going on between the appellate courts and the Supreme Court. Because the appellate

courts, I mean, some of them are just laced and loaded with leftists. I mean, the circuit court

is packed. It's not just nine justices. I know there's more than nine. And I don't quite frankly,

I don't know if every, if every appellate court has the same, if they all have 18 sitting judges,

I think I'm going to look that up because I'm intrigued. But there's certainly more packed

than the Supreme Court. And there's this constant battle that it would appear where the Supreme

Court is slapping down some court of appeals somewhere. And it's the case here. This case, this

ruling came out last week where the Supreme Court blocked the California policy that prohibits

school personnel from notifying parents when students requested changes to their

documented gender identity at school. And this was happening without permission. Parents

didn't know about this. The policy said that if students didn't give the teacher's permission

to notify their parents, that the teachers would not notify their parents. Since when did you

ask a student to give you permission to do something? Is this the, the, the backwardsness of this,

of this policy? No, you can't do that. The student didn't give you permission.

What? I can't, so I can't tell the student or I can't tell the parent. Johnny wants to be

Janie and wants to be called Janie at school because Johnny's last, Janie didn't give me permission

to tell the parent. Uh, who's, who's running the asylum here? Who's in charge of the school building

here? So what if Johnny doesn't give me permission to tell his parents what grade he got on the test?

Can I not do that? Oh, no, that's fine. No, no, no, no, that's fine. You can do that. I mean,

the parents know Johnny's stupid anyway, so go ahead and tell them you got enough. But they don't

know he wants to be a girl, so you can't tell them that. I mean, does that?

Ah, all right. Johnny's not stupid, probably. I mean, in this scenario, he is because, well,

I mean, the reasons are obvious, aren't they? I just, um, to meet the policies backwards,

I don't know that you give the kids permission. Let me say it this way, I don't know you give the

kids authority to be in charge of the school and tell you as the teacher and as the administration

what you can and cannot do and what you are allowed to tell and not to tell their parents.

It's full disclosure. When a parent puts a child in school, it's full disclosure. All right,

the school tells the parent everything. Everything that the child says does or did everything.

Until the parent calls and says, look, enough's enough. I can't take it anymore. Stop telling me how

brilliant my child is. Just stop it. Just stop. I can't psychdrop here. I can't take the winning

so much winning my child so brilliant. I can't just just stop telling me how fantastic they are.

Usually it's the other way around. Usually it's the parent just becomes, you know, we just put a call

home. Hey, Johnny did this. Johnny did that. Johnny did the other. And then the parent just becomes

overwhelmed with the inundation of all the updates as to what Johnny's doing and they're like,

can you give me some good news, please? I mean, there is that. Look, my point is that the students are not in

charge. The parents are in charge. And by proxy, they have put the staff in charge and then the staff

in this case in California, they've abdicated their responsibility and turned it over to the kids

without telling the parents. Kind of like Congress right now abdicating their responsibility and

turning it over to the the alphabet bureaucracy where they will then allow the EPA to make rules

and regulations that pass as laws and and the health department and the CDC and the you name it.

Everybody else is out there restricting the people. It's it's really really the same thing.

It the the objective is to remove the sovereignty of the citizen. That's the objective.

The objective is to make the people feel like they are no longer in control. They never were in

control. They never will be in control. This is this is the playbook. This is right out of Marxism 101,

by the way. This is right out of the first page. And it's it's what we see happening in these institutions

throughout the country, no matter what they are, but you know, particularly here in in California

education, we see it happening. Parents and teachers had asked the high court to rule on the case

Marabelli Vibanta. Banta of course would be the attorney general here in California,

who is all all for this. Banta is all about making sure the parents don't know what their kids are

doing. He's he is 100% on board this game. The the ruling here here here's how the the ruling was

awarded here from the Supreme Court. Plaintiffs alleged that California's policies permitted disclosure

of a student's gender transitioning at school, only if the student consented. Plaintiffs claimed

that these policies violated their rights under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment

and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. All right, so California's policy

is permitting disclosure of students gender transitioning transitioning at school.

Only if the student consents or in other words the disinformation will be disclosed to the parents

only if the student says yes, only if the student gives the green light to do it.

Placing the student in complete charge, placing the student in complete authority and parents

here in this case are saying, hey, no, this is violating our rights under the free exercise

clause of the First Amendment because our deeply held religious beliefs go against these actions

that you are you are hiding from us. Number one, and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

As parents, we deserve due process.

The ruling continues. We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to

succeed on the merits of their free exercise claim. Parents and teachers, this was a six to three

decision, by the way, probably the three leftist ladies on the court voting no in the six.

The six who members of the six, you don't know which way they're going to go, but in this case,

they they cited correctly. So in the six to three ruling, they have said that it's likely

that the parents would succeed on the merits of their free exercise clause claim.

Parents and teachers requested that the Supreme Court blocked the California policy as litigation

unfolded. The justice has only granted relief to the parents. So there's some interesting notes here.

The parents aren't alone in this case. There are teachers here in California, public school teachers

who get it. They understand what the state is doing is wrong. They understand what the state is

doing is evil. And they are citing coming up alongside of these parents and they're saying, look,

we're all being put in a horrible position here. This isn't right that the kids should be in charge

of the school building, because essentially that's what's happened. The kids are in charge.

And once you put the kids in charge, by golly, you're in trouble. You're not going to last long.

So the the high court in this case cited a previous landmark ruling that it issued

just last summer, 2025. They are now citing themselves in Mahmoud V. Taylor in this six to three decision

that justice is, of course, said that parents had a constitutional right to control the religious

upbringing of their children. This was the case in Maryland, Montgomery County, Maryland, where

parents ensued their school district, the biggest school district in the state, by the way,

right after being denied the right to excuse their their elementary children. Kenny

Garden through fifth grade. I just let that sink in for a minute. They wanted to remove their

kids from being exposed to LGBT material at school. Kenny Gardeners, first and second graders.

And the school district said, no, no, you can't. I mean, I know we told you that we could.

Or that you could, but not the answers. No. Why? Because we want your children exposed to this

material. This is the point. This is the name of our game here. We want your kids exposed,

because eventually they will become this. And they will hold you as parents and your religious

faith and high disregard. Because we have the ability to shape their hearts and minds. We're with

them more than you are. And yes, we're going to shape their hearts and minds and we're going to

shape them against you. If that's not the point here, I don't know what is. And the Supreme Court

of course, sided with with the parents of Montgomery County. Again, the three leftist ladies in

that decision did not side with the parents. They sided with the school districts saying, yes,

the school district had every right to not allow those parents to pull their, their

Kenny Gardeners, their elementary age student out of homosexual content. Let that sink it.

Two parent plaintiffs in this case, Maribelio Vibanta, who have religious objections to gender

transitioning, were not told by their daughter's school when she began using a male name and

pronouns in the seventh grade. Everybody knew, everybody in the school building knew, but

mom and dad didn't know. They didn't know what was happening. They should have known.

The parents should have been in the loop. The teachers should have come to them immediately.

But again, it's the same situation that it wasn't in Montgomery County. The teachers in this

particular case and in that case, they didn't want the parents to know. They were on board this

transition. Now, I can't say that I shouldn't say I shouldn't paint such a broad brush against the

teachers here because as I previously mentioned, there are teachers that are acting as plaintiffs

in this Maribelio Vibanta case. There are teachers who have come alongside the parents and have

said, we're on board with you. You have the right. So forgive me for painting such a such a broad

brush. I'll say it this way. Some of the teachers there are on board. Some of the teachers

like it. They like that the parents don't know what's going on. Well, others do not. It's a split

situation here. So these two parents of this middle school girl were not told that she was using

a male name and male pronouns in the seventh grade. School officials did not tell them during

parent teacher meetings according to the ruling. The parents only learned about school officials

encouraging and there it is. There's the word encouraging encouraging their daughter's transition

when she began her eighth grade year and that's when she attempted suicide and was hospitalized.

And they encouraged it. School personnel was not only encouraging the daughter

to move forward with her transition. They were actively keeping it hidden from parents.

Now again, there were there are some teachers who aren't who are forced by the state to actively

keep it hidden. But forced against their will as it were coerced. And so that's why and they're

not in they're not in agreement with it. They don't want to partake in this. And many of them have

stood up. And that's why there are teachers that are on board with this lawsuit.

But it's interesting because they'll say you have to go through with this transition. They'll

convince parents. You have to go through with this transition because if you don't your your

son or daughter is going to commit suicide. And they guilt the parents in many cases. You know

this to be a fact. You've heard parents report this. They guilt them in many cases to go along

with the transition. But in this case, the parents didn't know what was happening until after

the daughter attempted suicide. And then all of this came out. It all came to light.

The daughter spilled the beans that that the school was encouraging her to transition. And

also keep it hidden from from parents. All right. So think about this. If you have a son or daughter

and they're middle school aged, you know you know their their minds are two things. They're impressionable

and they're not fully developed. And they're not even close to being fully developed. They're not

even yes, they're at the age of reasoning. They're at the age of of rational. But because they're

they're so impressionable that rationale can be contorted. It can be manipulated. It can be

it can be directed and steered down a path. That is not healthy for them. And that's what we

fight happening here. And in this case, that is what was happening. This seventh grader was being

encouraged by school personnel to to go down this path. And it's not a healthy path.

I'm telling you it's not that the path of further confusion is not a path of health.

It's not a path of hope. It's not a path of well-being. It is nothing but a path of destruction.

And the parents don't discover this until after until after she's attempted suicide.

All right. I'm looking at the clerk. I'm going to apply this here. I want to get more into this

into this case, into this ruling, into this situation because it's important for for where we're

going. It's important for where we're headed as a country. It's important to know

that there's a break in the road here. And we're about to take a hard right as a as a country.

important. We've got to do this. We absolutely have got to do this. You know what else we've

And the situation here, we last left the heroes of this story, which would be the parents.

And that they were unaware that their daughter was being encouraged by school officials to transition.

And to refer to herself as a male name and to go by male pronouns.

And in her eighth grade year, she attempted suicide and she's hospitalized. And at this point,

this thing comes to light and the doctors diagnose her with gender dysphoria.

The teenager is in and out of the hospital after her initial suicide attempt.

And even with that being the situation, school officials continued calling her by a boy's name.

And they continued using male pronouns, even after the fact. This is according to court

documents. They continued walking her down this road of confusion. This poor girl, she is,

she's at a point in time in her life where, yes, confusion sets in. And when it's encouraged by

trusted adults, it makes it a thousand times worse. Because then the child doesn't know what to

believe or who to believe. Should they believe biological truth?

Should they believe or hold to the beliefs, the deeply held religious beliefs of their parents?

Or should they believe that teacher that they've developed a relationship with,

who they've come to know and love and trust and who would not lead them astray and who's

telling them, look, you got to be Johnny because that's, you know, God made a mistake. And you're born

in a boy's body and you just, you got to go after it and you got to make these changes on your

own. And it starts with you calling yourself Johnny. And that confusion only intensifies to the

point where now she's attempting suicide. And the parents are made to believe. And again,

I said this in the first segment, the parents are made to believe that if they don't go along with

it, if they don't go along with the game and with the charade, the child will act on,

on their suicidal thoughts and tendencies. And the exact opposite is true that if the child

continues down this road of confusion, that's when suicide will kick in.

So even after the fact school officials are still, are still playing this game,

still playing this charade. Eventually the parents put their daughter in therapy.

And they began psychiatric care for her, which is actual help. I guess it depends on who your

therapist is and who your counselor is. But it's a step into actual help here.

California state officials have issued guidance directing teachers at public schools to not tell

parents if their children began going by a different name and a different gender unless the students

give them permission. Policy also required teachers to use those new names and pronouns when

parents were not around. The teachers had to talk about compelled speech. This is it right here.

This is chorus of speech. You're telling me you are robbing me as an adult teacher in that building.

You are robbing me of my first amendment right. And you're telling me I have to refer to this

little girl as a boy. You're also robbing me of biological truth. When I know in fact this little

girl is not a boy. You're forcing me to refer to her as such. This is the Emperor's new close.

This is it. We're living in it. Lawyers for the state had argued that the policies were meant

to give children a safe learning environment and ensure that they can learn without fear of being

out into their parents before they are ready. So it's based on fear. It's based on what could happen.

It's based on a lot of ifs. The policy is centered around and formulated by ifs. If that's it.

It's if if the child is out too soon and then they will things will go bad.

And if they're not out and they can learn and not be in an environment of fear.

So not only is the policy horrible based upon what could happen. But it's centered around fear.

Which everybody knows is a powerful emotion. It's a powerful manipulating tool to make people afraid.

You make them afraid and by golly you own them. You got them right where you want them.

This is why teaching virtue is so important. It's why teaching courage in the face of fear is such an

important quality to have. Because if you have courage to stand up to the fear or to stand up to what

might be producing the fear in others then then you can overcome. Then you have the ability

to actually overcome. We talked about this the other day. We talked about

Ulysses S. Grant's ability to overcome. To overcome in the face of fear.

He didn't focus on his. And again this is why history class is so important. This is why an education

is so important. It's why giving our kids a proper education is so important. I mean it's just

something as simple as the life of General Grant before he became President Grant.

He had failed at almost everything he had set out to do. He failed at farming. He was a decent

soldier but anything that required something other than being a soldier he just did he failed that.

Four years before he is made general of the Union Army, head general, lead commander.

Four years prior he is on the street corner, something firewood just to keep his family from

starving to death. I mean people believed him to be a loser. They believed him to be a

drunkard. They had a whole lot of different thoughts and feelings and beliefs about Grant.

But when Lincoln needed a general with some backbone, when Lincoln needed a general who was not

going to be afraid of Lee and not power and fear, he went to Grant and he pulled Grant out of the

ash heap and he said go get him, Tiger. I don't know if he called him Tiger but and that's what

Grant did. Grant went after it and he did not falter in the face of fear. He did not buckle under

the pressure of his past. He did not believe the naysayers. He did not believe the detractors.

He believed what he knew to be true that he had the ability to lead and if given the opportunity

he would rise to that challenge and he would lead and he was given the opportunity and he rose

to the challenge and he led in the face of fear, stared fear in the eye and demanded,

demanded unconditional surrender. He didn't back down. He didn't buckle. He demanded

unconditional surrender. And these are the lessons that that we need to teach young people,

especially young people that are going through dark times, dark times of confusion.

Listen, this isn't this isn't to make them feel shame for themselves. This isn't to make them feel

shameful or guilty about what they're experiencing or about what they're going through.

It's the exact opposite. It's to give them the tools to overcome it. It's to give them the tools to

rise above it, to rise above the dark times. Listen, if we were studying the 23rd

Psalm at all in school anymore, which we used to, we used to study the 23rd Psalm, but if we were

doing it, we would understand that even though we walked through the valley of the shadow of death,

we should fear no evil. Why? Because thou art with me. You're right, you're staff. They come from me.

Because we used to believe and teach and let our kids know that there was a God who loved

them and who cared about them. And even though they were walking through dark times, even though

they were walking through a valley of a shadow of death, they could rise above the fear.

They could rise above the fear that that valley presented them because God is with them.

And God is bestowing upon them. Courage. He's bestowing upon them. Hope, faith, love,

fortitude, the prudence and the ability to go after a thing, to fight, fear,

stare it in the face and conquer it. This is why we read to them when they're little. These important

stories of knights and lords and ladies, facing off with dragons, facing off again. This is why

Baalwuff is such an important story because the people who cower in fear at Grendel and his mother,

but it takes someone with the courage of Baalwuff to come along and to say, hey, do or die, I'm going

after it. That used to be the attitude. Do or die, I'm going after it. I would rather die in battle,

than then live as a coward and live, you know, shaking and quaking and fear.

These stories are important because they instill something in us. They instill something in our

young people. They instill a virtue that gives them the ability to face life had on.

No, we're not telling them to go get a sword and go out there and fight pretend dragons or

I mean, if that's what you think you're missing the point, there's something deeper being instilled

in them and maybe they don't own an actual sword. I don't own, by the way, an actual sword.

I wish I did. I do. I wish I owned a sword. I wish somebody taught me the sword.

I wish I knew how to fence and I wish I had some swords. I just think it'd be really cool to have

that skill. I mean, it's not something I would show off or, you know, break out my sword in public.

I think it would be a lot of fun, but my point is I don't own a sword,

but yet growing up as a boy and being read those stories and reading those stories myself

and reading those stories to my son, it instills something in us. You know, I've got an important,

I didn't mean to go down this rabbit trail here, but I think it's important,

and I've got a very important interview coming up. I haven't conducted it yet, and when I do,

I will let you know, obviously, but it's an important interview with a lady who

her mission, and I don't want to give it away right now, but this interview is coming down the

pike. Her mission is to encourage men to read to their sons and the importance of men

reading to their sons. And when I heard this story, a friend of mine was telling me about this

moment's story and about the importance of this mission that she's on and encouraging fathers to

read to their children, and not only just their sons, but their children, their daughters as well.

And it struck an herb with me because when my kids were young, I read to them,

and you know what we started on? You know what we started reading, and I said to Elizabeth and

Joshua, I said, you guys want to read the Hardy Boys, because I had the Hardy Boys series up till,

I don't know, I think maybe book 30, when they were all hardcovered. Before they went to paperback,

I decided the paperbacks were lame, and it was, you know, it's unfair of me to decide that the

Hardy Boys paperbacks are lame. I just loved the hardcover books. I loved the artwork on the cover,

loved it all. And I think I have every hardcover and paperback up to book number 30. And I mean,

I might be missing one or two, but I read them as a little boy, I don't know, 10, 11, 12,

I fell in love with them when my mom and dad would go on trips, they would bring back a Hardy

Boy book for me. And so I built up this library, and I kept it. And when Joshua and Elizabeth

are little, I don't know, he's probably five, maybe she's seven or eight. We were downstairs,

and they saw my, you know, my books. And I said, but you guys like me to reach the Hardy Boy books.

I read these when I was little. And would you like that? And they're like, yeah, read the Hardy Boy

books. It'll be great. So we started the Hardy Boy books. And Elizabeth didn't really hang with

us for very long. I mean, she was interested in this, and the story when Kelly Shaw was around,

in Chet's sister, what was her name? Iona, Iona Morton, maybe I don't know. So when Kelly

and Chet's little sister were in the story, then Elizabeth would run, well, you know, she would

want to stick around, but she didn't last very long because, you know, there wasn't enough female

action, I guess. But she stayed with us for a little bit. But Joshua stayed with me through the

entire series. And then when that series was done, he was like, well, what else are we reading?

And so then we read the Chronicles of Darnia, and he was like, what else are we reading? And then we

read Little Bridges, and he was like, what else are we? And then we just, we started reading whatever

we could get our hands on. We started reading biographies. We started reading scientific books about

the brain and how the brain works. And it just, and this went on, this probably went on into his

high school years. From the time he was five, maybe a decade, maybe until he was 15, 16, I don't

know. There was probably even longer because I do, I would say probably even to leave as a senior

in high school, I was reading to him. Now, with that plan, it wasn't every night. It wasn't

that you're going to read me a story. It was, you know, we were involved in a series and he just

liked it when I would read. And these, but the stories of choice were stories that were instilling

something, stories that were encouraging, that were encouraging, not confusion, but encouraging

valor, and encouraging something that instills in us the ability to stand up in the face of fear.

And I'm telling you, there's something to this. There is something very important about it.

And as parents, if we can, if we can grasp it, we can get a hold of it,

especially while our kids are young. If we can get a hold of this while our kids, while our

children are young, and start instilling in them, stories from the great books, stories, and they

don't even have to be from the great books. I mean, it's great that they're from the great books,

you know, the hardy boys are not listed in the in the great books library. Okay, they're not up

there with Homer and Virgil and Dante. Okay, they're not there. But nonetheless, they're instilling.

They instill a courage. They instill a valor. They instill things that are important.

So I'm really looking forward to having this interview. Her name is Elizabeth,

with this woman who I'm going to talk to. Again, we haven't conducted the interview yet. We're

in the process of getting this, getting this setup and getting it underway. But I'm looking forward

to it. And I hope that you are too. I think you're going to love it because the importance of what

we're talking about here cannot be overstated. I don't think it can be. I don't think it can be

overstated. All right, there's there's much to get into. Okay, I did not mean. I did not intend to

to go on that that rabbit trail. I want to let me just wrap this up before we go to break. I'm

looking at the clock here. So the state was arguing in this case, the state of California was saying

that its policy is advance a compelling interest in student safety and privacy.

But the Supreme Court wrote that even though the state is arguing that their policies

advance a compelling interest in student safety and privacy, those policies cut out the

primary protector of children's best interest and that's their parents. The policy is cutting

the parents out at the knees and they understand what they're doing. They're doing it on purpose.

A federal judge had already struck down the California policy, December 22nd, 2025.

But the appellate court said, hey, you know what, we're going to let it come back in.

But now that the Supreme Court has ruled here, we're going to see where this goes.

And we're going to keep our eye on it. By the way, in this piece here, by the epoch times,

Troy Myers is reporting this and he did reach out to California Department of Education and,

of course, they did not respond. All right, my friends, more to come on the other side of this

and the waning the waning minutes of today's program. And it's a piece by Troy Myers.

No, I'm sorry. It's a piece by Zachary Steber. Steber? Stiber? Sorry, Zachary. Hope I'm

getting it right here. My good man. It's called American teenagers are sleeping less. This is

according to recent research. And it's troubling. It's troubling because we need more sleep.

The brain needs sleep. The brain needs rest. The brain. In fact, I got another piece. I

want to get into it. It's in my stack. It's been in there for a couple of weeks. I just haven't

had time to get to it. I should rephrase it. I haven't taken the time to get to it. But it's about how

while you sleep, how the brain cleanses itself. I mean, the brain needs a bath on a nightly basis,

my friends. And that's why sleep is so important. So this study is troubling that American teenagers

are sleeping less. He starts up by saying more teenagers are sleeping short periods of time

each night, according to this new study published by the Journal of American Medical Association,

the JAMA. Among high school students in America, more reported sleeping five or a few hours. I

couldn't do it. Get five or a few hours a night. And this is increasing. This is happening more

and more and more. More students are reporting this. I can't function very well on less than seven

and a half. I'm just going to put that out here. Seven, you know, I can get away with seven,

but not for the period of days in a row. I mean, I'm less than seven if I'm hitting six,

I'm just in trouble. My brain needs to bathe for a long time.

So reach the researchers discovered this when they were analyzing data from the youth risk

behavior survey. All right, so here are the numbers. The percentage of people sleeping,

the percentage of people sleeping that little increased from 15.8% in 2007.

To 23% in 2023, according to the associate professor and psychiatric psychiatry,

holy smokes. What's wrong with me? Do you think I maybe need to take an ad? I mean, I might.

This is from the Yale School of Medicine. That was the reason that more students reported

in sufficient sleep. 76.8% in 2023 compared to 68.9% in 2007. So more people, almost three quarters

are reporting less sleep than here in 2023 than reported in 07. Researchers deemed any number

of hours of sleep under eight per night to be insufficient. I agree with that. I mean, at least

for me, it's insufficient for me. They crunched the numbers from 120,000 plus students.

The percentage of students reporting six or seven hours of sleep each night remained about

the same. While fewer students reported getting eight or more hours per sleep per night.

So the amount of students sleeping eight plus hours is decreasing. The amount of students

sleeping six to seven stayed the same. The amount of students sleeping under six hours is increasing.

This isn't good. These findings show a broad increase in insufficient sleep across all demographic

groups, driven largely by increasing reports of very short sleep, according to the authors.

Females were slightly more likely to experience insufficient sleep.

Seniors were much more likely to sleep less than freshmen. So the moral of the story is here,

the senior females are in trouble, apparently. Students marking down lower sleep times were more

likely to report symptoms of depression and or suicidal thoughts and spending hours during the

day and social media and video games. Aha! There it is. It's why they're sleeping less,

probably because well into the into the wee hours of the morning, they're on social media or

they're they're gaming. Limitations of the paper include the lack of some potential contributors

such as family conflicts, according to researchers. Re and co-authors, Re is the name here.

Tahoe Greg Re is the associate professor here at Yale. Re and his co-authors said the

trans highlight the need for population level responses such as starting school later. Okay.

All right. I'm going to pause right there. I can tell you right now we're not going to get very

far into this study. If you're you want to start school later, like, you know, so if school starts

at seven, you want to start at say eight or nine. Would you like that? Because the kids are

are going to stay up later if you start school later. You think they're not going to take advantage

and say, oh, we've got an extra two hours. I could stay up later. How about that not be that the

population response here, the population level response? How about we have a different population

level response? And how about it comes from the parents? How about that? How about I don't know,

I mean, this is a novel idea, but what if I don't know say the parents instituted a lights out policy?

What about that? Mr. Researcher, man at Yale University. Why don't we tell the kids, hey,

it's bedtime? Oh, no, that's not their solution. Their solutions. I mean, they're staying up to three

o'clock in the morning. We should start school later. Okay. Randy Bates and editorial fellow

with the JAMA and its deputy editor Dr. Tracy Liu said in a commentary that adjusting school

star times could help address the problem. So they're on board here. They also suggested

teams avoid screen time for two hours before going to bed. That's better. Let's do that. Let's

avoid screen time a couple hours before going to bed. And let's say, I don't know, lights out of

10 o'clock. What time do they get up? All right. Let's do the math. If school starts at seven,

now here, maybe we just maybe we just take our school, for example, our day starts at 8.15.

So if you roll out of bed, I don't know, at seven o'clock, is that enough time to get

showered and cleaned up for the day? You think, is that possible? So if that's the case, all right,

again, let's do the math. If you're going to bed at 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, you get up at seven.

That's eight hours. Is 11 o'clock not a decent hour? Could we not just go to bed at 11?

Why do we have to start school later? How about we go to bed at 11? How about this be our

population level response? How about we go to bed at 11? And let's say at nine o'clock,

screens are done. Let's just shut them off. You know, could we do that? Maybe we could start

making the parents aware of this research. I guess that's why we're talking about it here. Because

if we become more aware of it, if everybody becomes aware of it, then maybe we don't have to start

school later. Maybe we could just help the kids out by giving them information that they need,

such as, hey, little Johnny, little Sally, screen time is not going to help you fall asleep at night.

That blue light, now it's a wreck in your brain, just wrecking it, destroying it,

shut her down at nine o'clock. Give your brain two hours of,

matter of fact, how about, how about this? How about nine o'clock? How about in the evening you

have as much social media time as you want? You know, talk to your friends, have a blast.

Nine o'clock, you shut it down. And then, um, and then maybe pick up a good book. Maybe a great book,

maybe one of the great books. That's, that is a fantastic idea. Dean, that idea is so brilliant.

I just, why didn't you say it earlier? I don't know, I don't know why I didn't say it earlier,

probably because I wasn't reading this study earlier. Ah, okay. I'm not going to get through this,

but I can tell you right now that it's a problem, but the answer is not starting school later.

The answer is actually helping the teens, actually giving them some, some advice and some input

that might better their lives. I don't know. It's just, it's just a thought. That's all just a thought.

All right. My friends, that's it. It's all the time we have for today. Thank you, as always, for joining me.

I am happy that you're a part of this program. Encourage your friends and family to get on the

Dean's list. Let's unite to renovate the age.
