This feels like the kind of case that will be appealed up until the law is struck down.

Nope. Courts have upheld it. And it's not a rare practice.

Perfect case to hold the administration personally accountable.

[bdcravens]

By “administration”, are you referring to the office of the POTUS? I bash that office as much as any, but this is a state level issue, and even at the national level, it would be a judicial, not an executive, branch concern.

Notice you're assuming the parent's reference and then saying it is wrong.

[bdcravens]

There's an implicit "if" there, but perhaps I could have made that clearer.

Someone is in charge of the office "just following orders" and not questioning authority. That office should be accountable.

Thanks to OP who spotted this.
