World’s Largest Organization Of Plastic Surgeons Issues Guidance Against Gender Transition Procedures

The recommendation, sent to ASPS’ 11,000 members on Feb. 3, urged surgeons to delay “gender-related breast/chest, genital, and facial surgery” until a patient is 19 years old, since “there is insufficient evidence demonstrating a favorable risk-benefit ratio for the pathway of gender-related endocrine and surgical interventions in children and adolescents.”

‘Disfigured For Life’: In A Landmark Ruling, Detransitioner Wins Medical Malpractice Case

“It’s so hard to face that you are disfigured for life,” Varian said at the trial. “No amount of reconstruction is ever going to bring back what I lost.” The case could set a precedent for other individuals who underwent gender transitions and are seeking legal remedies, and doctors may adopt caution to avoid legal risks with malpractice.

Our Kids Are Listening: The Error Of Shielding Children From A Broken World

With everything happening in our world right now, as parents who have young kids, it's tempting to want to protect them, to shield them from the heaviness, to say, "they are too young to carry this," ... but the reality is, they are already seeing and hearing about the evils of our day, and they are asking questions. God has called us, as parents, not to hide these things from our children, but to walk through them and teach them together, with His truth as our guide.

The LGBT Worldview Is Permeating Our Schools… Should We Send Our Children Into This Anti-Christian System?

The LGBTQ worldview is permeating our secular schools (and, sadly, even some “Christian” schools). Secular schools (e.g., public schools in the USA) are not neutral. The Bible says you’re either for Christ or against. And when you build your thinking on man’s word instead of God’s Word, then ultimately anything goes. And we’re seeing that happen now throughout the secular anti-God education system.

‘The State-Mandated Religion Is Gender Ideology’: Parents Are In A Fierce Battle To Protect Children

When the Supreme Court denied a petition in October to review Erin and Jonathan Lee’s lawsuit against a northern Colorado school district accused of secretly manipulating their 12-year-old daughter to believe that she was a boy, the Christian couple was profoundly disappointed. “The state-mandated religion of Colorado is gender ideology,” Erin says. “It reigns supreme, and it’s a spiritual battle.”

Teacher Bans Kids From Picking Trump, Jesus, and Charlie Kirk as Role Models

“This is an unconstitutional heckler’s veto – silencing speech because others might disagree with it. Teaching students to engage respectfully with opposing viewpoints is a core function of public education, not a threat to classroom safety,” ACLJ said. “Moreover, by prohibiting religious figures as role models while permitting secular ones, the school discriminated based on religious viewpoint in violation of the Free Exercise Clause.”

In Landmark Class-Action Ruling, Federal Court Deals Decisive Blow To California’s Twisted Gender Agenda

In his ruling, Benitez made clear that the state had overstepped its constitutional authority by sidelining parents, compelling educators to violate their consciences, and harming vulnerable children by depriving them of parental guidance. At the heart of the case was the question of who holds primary authority over a child’s welfare. The court answered decisively: parents do.

California Schools May Not Hide Students’ ‘Gender Identity’ From Parents

A U.S. District Court affirmed parents’ fundamental constitutional rights and blocked California schools from hiding information about a child’s “gender identity” from them. Judge Roger T. Benitez’ decision also affirmed the religious liberty and free speech of teachers, saying the legislators and the California Department of Education (CDOE) could not force teachers to lie to parents or hide their children’s sexual identity confusion from them.

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.

Evidence Over Ideology: HHS Says Medical Community ‘Betrayed Their Oath To Do No Harm’ With Trans Procedures For Minors

“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. It vindicates every parent, pastor, doctor, and policymaker who refused to bow to the deception of this age.”

Oregon School District Pays $650,000 After Firing Educators For Speaking On Gender Policy

‘We Stand For Religious Liberty’: Trump Signs Order Protecting Foster Care From Forced Gender Ideology

“As president, I will always stand for … religious liberty. We stand for religious liberty. The Bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans. It’s so important and it’s so big in the Bible. As we make America great again, we are going to protect American children in foster care and we are going to make sure that these children are never ever forgotten.”

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

People know such depravity (sexual sin being the immediate context) is evil, but they not only do it, they approve of others doing it. And the nation of Canada has just put this on display for the world with a 5-4 decision made by their Supreme Court. The decision ruled that it’s unconstitutional to impose “one-year mandatory minimum jail sentences for accessing or possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation materials.”

Social Worker Forced To Remove ‘Transphobic’ Children’s Books ‘He Is He’ And ‘She Is She’ From Desk

“This case isn’t about books; it’s about public officials telling an employee that he isn’t allowed to express a view that differs from their own,” said ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer, director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom. “Our legal system is built on the truth that the government can’t silence a speaker just because it disapproves of what he says."

Storybook For Kindergarteners Features Gay Roosters, Men Wearing Leather Harnesses

The book is called “This Day in June” and parents say it’s nothing more than LGBT propaganda.

Perfect weather,” one caption in the book reads.

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

"Governor Newsom is deliberately trying to deceive parents by claiming this bill protects them, when in fact it does the opposite.

Newsom knows exactly what this bill does, but he’s hoping the press and the public won’t read it for themselves."
