Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement after filing an amicus brief in Mahmoud v. McKnight, in which parents request to be notified of, and be allowed to opt their elementary school-aged children out of, their schools’ use and discussion of books designed to push the left’s gender and sexuality agenda.

“It’s a modest request by parents. There is no demand for curriculum change, just parents who want to be told what schools are teaching their children,” said J. Marc Wheat General Counsel for AAF. “Parents get to have a say in what their children are learning and should have the freedom to opt out of the Far Left’s gender and sexual ideology curricula, being taught to young children.”

Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement after filing an amicus brief in SEC v. Jarkesy in which the Supreme Court has an opportunity to check the outsized power of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

“Today, the SEC, like many other agencies within the administrative state, wields significant legislative, executive, and judicial power under the same roof,” said J. Marc Wheat, AAF General Counsel. “The Framers designed the Constitution to avoid just this sort of combined power because they knew it was a significant threat to individual liberty. Agencies should no longer be allowed to play legislator, investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. We look forward to the Supreme Court reining in the power of the SEC in this case.”
