By the way, I saw a story (can't find it now) that France (France!) and other nations are shaking their heads about the "wokeness" of the current American culture.

We (i.e. The English) have always thought that Americans were barking mad. Basically, you're either Jack D. Ripper or you're The State of California. There's no middle ground.

That's no shit.

When you consider that 40% of the country live on the coast, that isn't very comforting.

More to the story than what was presented. The jerk has had plenty of warnings about his behaviors and has repeatedly defied the courts.
To quote a couple of other's here, lock him up!
Frankly, I could care less about his alleged parental rights.

From the article:
The orders instruct him to not make public any information that would identify A.B., or the medical professionals involved, to call A.B. by the child’s preferred name and gender pronoun, and to not share his opinions of the case publicly.
I'm fine with the second order, not so much the others. I can understand the father's unwillingness to go along with them. The first order implies the last one.

His parental rights are one thing. His abridgement of free speech is another.
In both cases, the court is wrong. Or, the law is.

AFAIK, "Free speech" is a uniquely American concept, and it only applies to the government suppression of such. Look no farther than Facebook, Twitter, etc to see everyday suppression of "free speech." Totally legal and constitutional suppression.

In both cases, the court is wrong. Or, the law is.Maybe, maybe not. But I doubt that either court or the law is wrong. In either case he has the right to appeal to a higher court.
In the meantime he must comply with the lower court rulings or face additional charges and jail time.
The only issue here is that he is currently in contempt of court.
We obviously do not share the same values in this and, I am sure, many other topics.
