MADISON, WI – MADISON – This morning, the liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court once again overstepped their constitutional authority. Under the Constitution, unelected bureaucrats cannot and should not be making policy decisions reserved for the people of Wisconsin.
While the liberal majority takes this case, Evers v. Marklein, as an opportunity to consolidate power for one political party, we are confident the United States Supreme Court will address this erroneously-labeled “conversion therapy” rule which censors discussions held between counselors and their clients.
One of the contested issues in the case included the Marriage and Family Therapy, Professional Counseling, and Social Work Examining Board creating a rule that forces licensed counselors and therapists to only promote transgender ideology with minors struggling with gender dysphoria.
WFA President Daniel Degner claims, “Wisconsin Family Action has stood beside licensed therapists and counselors as well as families to protect their religious liberty and freedom of speech rights against these unconstitutional decrees from the Evers’ administration.”
WFA agrees with what Justice Annette Ziegler wrote regarding the liberal majority on the Court, “Obtaining preferred results appears more important than the rule of law. And this case is no outlier.”
Degner concludes, “The liberal Supreme Court has now created a precedent for Evers to advance policy pushing transgender ideology onto Wisconsinites without the checks and balances of the legislature. Wisconsin Family Action will continue to fight against Governor Evers’ attempts to advance anti-religious and transgender ideology through the administrative state.”
