New York Times Joins War on Homeschooling, Arguing The Government—Not Parents—Should Control What Children Learn

The NY Times attack, republished by other major newspapers across the country, is part of a coordinated assault. From the UNESCO report demanding government control over home education and the efforts of Harvard law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet to ban it, to European media anti-homeschooling propaganda and government attacks, this is just the start. Ultimately, home education appears to be emerging as a major threat not just to government indoctrination programs, but to totalitarian agendas everywhere.

New Report Shines Spotlight On Netflix’s Aggressive LGBT Agenda Targeting Children

CWA asked a pivotal question: “Which came first: LGBTQ+ content aimed at kids, or ‘inclusive’ content that caters to kids who identify as LGBTQ+?” The report noted that studios frequently justify the material as “educational” or “affirming,” yet “we have seen enough leaked videos and internal memos to know that there is, for many working in entertainment, a desire to reshape the culture to align with their own worldview.”

School District Backs Down After Years Of Violating The Parental Rights Of Christians

“Parents have the right to direct the upbringing, education and health care of their children without fear of government interference,” said ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson, director of ADF’s Center for Parental Rights, in a press release. “Schools should never hide vital information from parents, let alone go against their express instructions related to the well-being of their children. School officials should support parents, not replace them. In this case, we’re pleased HISD agreed to honor the Osborns’ wishes and respect parents’ constitutional rights.”

Report Warns Critical Race Theory Could Be Worming Its Way Back into Classrooms

Banned in several red states, CRT is often described by those holding more progressive worldviews as an academic framework meant to examine “systemic racism.” Critics, however, would classify it as an ideological agenda that promotes racism — hence why many Republican-led states have taken steps to keep it out of their school curricula. Yet, a new report from the conservative Foundation for Freedom Online (FF) warns that CRT is quietly sneaking its way back in through the “media literacy” campaign.

“Science, when pursued honestly, eventually catches up to biblical truth,” Perkins posted. “This new federal report confirms what many have long warned—that rushing vulnerable young people into irreversible procedures was driven more by ideology than evidence.

Legalized Pedophilia Is Coming, And Canada Just Put This Reality On Display For The World To See

Experts Issue Warning After California’s Governor Signs Dangerous Legislation Targeting Parental Rights
