After Decades Of Cover-Ups, Education Department Finally Confronts Sex-Abuse Epidemic in Government Schools

After decades of cover-ups, union protection rackets, and official indifference, the U.S. Department of Education is finally admitting that government schools are infested with sexual predators preying on captive children. In some of the strongest official comments to date, U.S. Secretary Linda McMahon vowed a nationwide crackdown on teachers, staff, and other adults in positions of authority who sexually abuse and harass students. Speaking Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” McMahon made clear that the horrors documented by The Newman Report and others for years cannot continue. “This epidemic of nationwide sexual abuse in our schools must end,” she said.

Disgracing Its Namesake: James Irwin School Capitulates To Atheist Group, Eliminating Teaching On Intelligent Design

In a school honoring a creationist, young-earth creationism cannot be taught. The James Irwin Charter Middle School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was planning to include “intelligent design” and “creationist theory” alongside evolution in its eighth-grade science curriculum, according to a parent’s report to the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). FFRF is an atheistic organization that opposes religion, especially Christianity. After receiving the complaint, the FFRF wrote a letter to the charter school on March 5, 2026, demanding that they teach only evolution.

‘Equality and Human Rights Commission’ Releases Draft Guidance For UK Schools With A Disturbing Message: Christians Must Be Restrained

The guidance is important because, although it is not a statutory code, the EHRC says it may be used as evidence in legal proceedings, as it has been in the past. The first and most obvious problem is the guidance’s treatment of Christianity; essentially demonizing Christian belief. The cumulative message is difficult to miss. Christian or traditional religious convictions concerning sex and marriage are repeatedly presented as likely to be expressed poorly and is therefore the only significant problem to be controlled. The message is that Christians are the ones who must be restrained.

Four States Sue Meta for Allegedly Making Social Media Addictive for Kids

“Hook the users; hold them for as long as they can; harvest their data; hide the truth from the public when making public statements,” Megan O’Neill, a deputy attorney general for the California Department of Justice, described the social media company’s alleged tactics. “Meta’s business model worked especially well for kids,” she hammered home.

Bay Area Parents Sue School District For Mosque Field Trip

A coalition of parents in northern California has sued the Palo Alto Unified School District for a high school field trip to a mosque in the fall of 2025. “Students allegedly were encouraged to wear Islamic religious attire, were given Qurans, observed prayer, engaged with participants in a Quran-memorization program, and were exposed to messaging that portrayed Islam as uniquely aligned with social justice work,” the August 7 complaint declares. Strikingly, not a single family involved in the lawsuit is Christian.

The New Tactic Of Gov’t Education: Parents Are The ‘Oppressors’ And Children Must Be ‘Liberated’

Under the banner of “ethnic studies” and the new buzzword “adultism,” teacher training programs and classroom curricula across more than 22 states are systematically teaching that parental authority is a form of oppression—tyranny, fascism, even.

Federal Lawsuit Says Transgender Health Group Used Deceptive Statements To Mislead Parents And Providers

In June, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the attorneys general of Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) over deceptive claims regarding the treatment of children. The complaint alleges that WPATH’s eighth edition of the Standards of Care (SOC-8) contains “core deceptive statements” that misled parents and providers about the necessity, effectiveness and safety of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for minors. 

President Trump Ends Medicaid Funding For Child Sex Changes

President Donald Trump celebrated the move in a post announcing that Medicaid would no longer fund gender-transition surgeries or hormones for minors. “We are not going to pay for our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices,” Trump wrote, arguing that the procedures can cause irreversible harm. Trump also stated that pressure from his administration had already prompted dozens of hospitals across the country to discontinue such procedures and predicted that additional institutions would follow.

Kansas School District Defends Yearbook Featuring Teen In Drag, Mockery Of Christians, Trump, And Charlie Kirk

I reached out to the school district for an explanation on why a book that is supposed to commemorate the highlights of a school year looked like a propaganda campaign from Antifa. Is it possible that the yearbook advisors were hired from The New York Times or Washington Post? Well, it turns out the school district is defending the anti-Trump, anti-conservative yearbook. A district spokesperson confirmed that the controversial images were not only published, but were also approved by the club’s advisor.

Christian Denied Insurance Over ‘Jesus Loves You’ Stickers

“Stories like Simeon’s show why Christians are compelled to live out their faith publicly. Having experienced profound transformation through Jesus, from despair to hope, and from brokenness to purpose, he is not ashamed to share what he believes. For Simeon, speaking about his faith is not about imposing beliefs on others, but about helping others discover the same faith, hope and love that have changed his life.” “This case is not about a technical vehicle modification. It is about whether ordinary Christians are free to express their faith in public without being excluded from essential services. “A sticker saying ‘Jesus Loves You’ is not comparable to a commercial advert, a political campaign or an offensive slogan. It is a peaceful statement of Christian belief.

‘An Unmistakable Message’: Children’s Hospital To Open Free Detransition Clinic, Admit To Lying Under Landmark Settlement

“As a result of my disclosures,” she said, “five physicians that participated in sex-rejecting procedures have been held accountable: three current physicians will have their clinical privileges and staff appointments permanently and irrevocably terminated, and two former physicians are permanently barred from ever again holding privileges or credentials at any facility owned by, controlled by, or affiliated with Texas Children's Hospital. This is what justice demanded.”

Controlling The Worldview Of Children: Why Australia’s Government Views Homeschooling As A Threat

Homeschooling parents are simply exercising their parental right, and it is clear the government is losing patience with parents who wish to be the dominant voice in their children’s lives. In short, Mr Hill’s speech demonstrates increasing political anxiety that if children are allowed to grow inside communities that reinforce moral frameworks distinct from government propaganda, the state risks inheriting a society in which people are not sharing the same civic vocabulary. And that is a deeply uncomfortable proposition to this current government.

In-depth: Mainstream Education Systems Have Become Modern Marxist Discipleship Centers

For years, public education systems have been discipling young people to believe a destructive false gospel. This reality helps explain why youth we know and love may seem to be learning less about reading, math, and science than about activism, sexuality, and liberal ideology.

Department Of Education Launches Investigation Over Transgender Dolls With Swappable Genitals In Minnesota Classrooms

The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into the Minnesota Department of Education after reports that some schools plan to use taxpayer-funded dolls with interchangeable genitalia as part of lessons on gender identity.

Are Children A Burden?: Viral Podcast Insists Only ‘Nutty’ Parents Want To Be Around Their Children All Day

Do you want to be with your children all day and all night long? Well, if you said “yes,” you are apparently “weird” and untrustworthy—at least according to the viral comments made by podcast host Angie Sullivan on the political pop culture podcast, I’ve Had It. Her comments are very revealing about how our culture views children!

Pray The ‘Parents Opt-In Protection Act’ Becomes Law

Should school officials in America be permitted to ask students personal questions about intimate matters without first receiving permission from their parents? Thankfully, Representative Mary Miller (R-IL) doesn’t believe so, which is why she introduced the “Parents Opt-In Protection Act” last year – legislation that will prohibit schools from doing so without written consent from their mom or dad.

Pakistan High Court Acquits Men Accused of Burning Christian Couple Alive

The Pakistan Supreme Court has overturned death sentences for three men convicted in the horrific 2014 murder of a Christian couple who were beaten by a mob and burned alive after Islamists accused them of desecrating the Quran.

Secularists Don’t Want The Bible Taught In Texas Schools—They Want Atheism Taught Exclusively

Is it unconstitutional for Texas public schools to require Bible reading? Atheists and atheist groups are angry about a recent decision in Texas to introduce select Bible passages as required reading for students in public school classrooms. They claim this is bringing religion into the classroom and that’s unconstitutional. But is religion already in the classroom?

Tax-Funded Marxist Extremism: Federal Court Blocks Florida’s Ban On Racist ‘Critical Race Theory’ In Schools

Of course, Critical Race Theory is racist to the core. Among other issues, it paints all members of disfavored “races” as inherently “oppressors” with unearned “privilege” while portraying members of other races as perpetual “victims” who must overthrow alleged “systemic racism” and supposed “systems of oppression” rooted in skin color.  

The Bible vs. The Classroom: Has God’s Word Truly Been Banned From Public Education?

For the last 63 years, church-state separatists have labored feverishly to make sure the “wall of separation between church and state” erected by the Supreme Court continues to act as a de facto Berlin Wall, blocking traditional religious ideas from entering the secular haven of public education. Most Americans have instinctively known from the start that the Supreme Court got it wrong. John Adams’s reflections on the public value of “the Christian Religion” show the Founding Fathers viewed Christianity not only as something of great spiritual merit, but also as a shaper of public virtue.

Teachers Vow To Resist Texas’ Decision To Add Biblical Texts To The Required Reading List In Schools

As implementation approaches in 2030, expect more lawsuits, media hysteria, and teacher pushback. Texas has taken a courageous stand. Other states should follow — not just with Bible readings, but by rejecting the false neutrality that has hollowed out education. The stakes are the minds and hearts of the next generation. True education demands the full truth, starting with the Book that has illuminated Western civilization for millennia. Anything less is delusion.

Hiding Runaways: SCOTUS to Hear Pivotal Parental Rights Case Involving Child Gender Transitions

Conservative legal teams and alternative policy institutes have flooded the docket with briefs exhorting the justices to expand current requirements for parents dealing with novel state regulations. In its filing, the Manhattan Institute argued the law fundamentally altered the family dynamic, maintaining that removing parents from decision making pertaining to their children’s social transition and “gender affirming” medical interventions infringe upon their parental rights.

House Resolution Demands FCC Enforce Better Transparency In TV Show Ratings, Disclosure Of LGBT Content

“For too long, ratings systems have failed to give parents accurate and consistent information about what their children are watching,” said Craig DeRoche, president and CEO of Family Policy Alliance. “This resolution is a long-overdue step toward the transparency families need to make informed decisions.”

WPATH Pushed Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Kids for Financial Gain: Federal Trade Commission Lawsuit

The lawsuit, which Alaska, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas joined, alleges WPATH’s Standards of Care, Version 8 (SOC-8), the group’s treatment recommendations for transgender-identified people, deceived families about the scientific support for and effectiveness of pediatric sex-rejecting procedures — including puberty blocking drugs, opposite-sex hormones and surgeries.

Lesbian Teacher Fired After Pressuring Students To Take Part In Homosexual Kissing Or Face A Failing Grade

At least one of those students told the English teacher that “she had been asked to kiss three other girls in one of [Honka]’s skits,” the report revealed. When a student refused to participate in the homosexual arrangement for the “skit,” she received a zero for the “assignment,” according to her testimony in the report. In fact, the “classroom rule” established by Honka was “the answer is always ‘yes,’” students reported. Those who said “no” paid the penalty in the form of lower grades.

Brazilian Judge Sentences Parents To Prison For Homeschooling Their Daughters

Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi have been sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. The parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect”, with the judge stating that the home education curricula failed to include programs on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”  

These 568 Companies Are Paying For The Surgical Mutilation Of Children. A Nationwide Campaign Demands They Stop.

While an astonishing number of brands have walked away from the toxic Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and all of the extremism it represents, there are more than 550 companies that not only support the surgical mutilation of children — they’ll help pay for it. As part of the criteria for the once-coveted 100% score in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index, businesses must agree to offer health benefits that cover the cost of gender transition-related procedures for employees and their children, a stunning concession for anyone witnessing the devastating heartbreak this movement has wrought.

In-Depth: The Danger Of Ideological Grooming — It Is A Parent’s Responsibility To Know What Their Child Is Being Taught

Parents and Christian school administrators should ask why they are doing it, what they hope to gain, and if they are aligned with your theological and cultural values. The Rite Journey, though used in Christian schools, has no mention of Christ or the Bible anywhere in their workbook and only passing, theoretical mentions of God. Rather than trusting the discernment of these Christian schools using it as indicating this being appropriate in schools at all, much less other Christian schools, parents need to be aware that when they send their children to Christian schools, programs like these may indeed be discipling their children but not with a biblical worldview.

Substituting The Government For The Family: In First Set Back To Homeschooling In Decades, Connecticut Declares War

Connecticut officials just adopted the first major new restriction on homeschooling in America in decades, forcing parents to seek permission from “child welfare” authorities while imposing a slew of new regulations on families who exit government schools. Advocates for home education blasted the move. And they vowed to fight on. 

The Battle To Redefine Parental Authority: Who’s In Charge Of Our Children?

To the alarm of many parents, this idea is being challenged in multiple ways in states across the country. Governments in multiple states have sought to impose requirements upon families with children, meant to force compliance. These regulations infringe on a parent’s ability to decide what and how their children are taught, who is permitted to teach, what’s best for their children’s health, and even whether they are given information on such matters. These objectives are primarily being pursued by amending state laws that impact all models of education, including public, private, charter, and especially homeschools.

A UN Mission To Sexualize Children: The Classroom’s Best Kept Secret

In classrooms across the globe, a quiet yet burgeoning campaign is underway to shape what children as young as 5 are taught about sex, relationships, and their own bodies. It is being driven by some of the world’s most influential institutions such as the UN, while parents, legal guardians, and the wider public are kept largely in the dark about what is happening behind school walls.

The SPLC Has Been ‘Poisoning Pupils’ Minds For Years’

The SPLC’s extremist education program has influenced many educators, as Family Research Council (FRC) reported in “The SPLC’s Radical Learning for Justice Program,” published in 2021: "The SPLC delivered 900,000 copies of their Teaching Tolerance magazine in 2019 alone. The group’s magazine has been in circulation since 1991. That’s long enough for an entire generation of children influenced by the SPLC agenda to become teachers themselves."

Parents Need To Talk With Teens About AI From The Foundation Of God’s Word

According to Pew Research, 1 in 3 teens use chatbots—which is more than parents realize. Another study reported that 1 in 5 teens has been romantically involved with AI or knows someone who has. Parents need to talk with teens about AI. More than ever, families must disciple young people to use technology wisely from the foundation of God’s Word.
