You have it backwards Steve. Privacy is not a right enforced by
government. Like self-defense, it is a responsibility. Like Free Speech,
it is not to be enforced by the government. Government isn't supposed to
have anything to say about it.
This issue isn't about privacy. It's about government's intervention
into the parent child relationship because it seeks to implement a
controversial agenda regarding abortion. This issue would never have
become a problem if the public schools weren't consciously implementing
this agenda on behalf of government largely through their "public
health" programs. No private medical institution would ever do this for
any other medical procedure. This problem is completely the result of
government's abuse of the family relationship.
If government can intervene in a private family matter to enforce some
standard of bogus "privacy" here, it can intervene in the private lives
of anyone.
Libertarians should support the privacy of parents and their children to
live their lives independent of government intervention and not get all
caught up in the symbolic "superstition" aspects of this measure. Those
who do are inviting the government to intervene in their lives too.
