Yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments in the case of Chiles v. Salazar, challenging Colorado’s counseling censorship law as a violation of the rights of patients and counselors to choose the type of therapy and treatment they wish to receive.
Licensed counselor Kaley Chiles’ freedom of speech and that of her clients are prohibited by censoring and prohibiting certain private client-counselor conversations regarding sexual orientation and gender identity that the government disfavors while allowing—even encouraging—conversations the government favors.
Read the full summary at Chiles v. Salazar. A counselor should not have to affirm unwanted therapy for any patient. A government that requires such protocol is not a state of free people. That government is also not working to restore individuals and families, but to remake and reform them according to the state's totalitarian values.
This excellent summary of the case reminds us why this issue is so important to individuals who want counseling, their families, the counselors, and the integrity of any public health system.
