Skrmetti, Mahmoud, and Free Speech Coalition - "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children?"

I think SkrmettiMahmoud, and Free Speech Coalition can be summed up in a meme: Won't somebody please think of the Children? But more precisely, the Court was protecting children from misguided parents.

In Free Speech Coalition, the Court allowed the state to protect children from accessing pornography that their parents might wish to access. In Skrmetti, the Court allowed the state to protect children whose parents approved puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. And in Mahmoud, the Court allowed parents to protect their children from the school board.

These three cases are not the same, but at bottom, they were all about protecting the children.
