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.”

“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.
Greg Abbott has ordered a state investigation into the Austin Independent School District after reports that students were allowed to leave campus with a police escort to attend a protest at the Texas Capitol opposing federal immigration enforcement.
Haim’s coworkers lied, the filing argues, to punish him for sending redacted medical documents to investigative journalist Christopher Rufo. The information showed TCH continued performing sex-rejecting medical procedures on children long after it claimed to stop in March 2022.
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.
TikTok has agreed to settle a landmark U.S. lawsuit accusing social-media companies of deliberately addicting and harming children, just days before the case was due to go to trial, attorneys for the plaintiffs confirmed Tuesday.
More hospitals and health systems announced they are stopping the chemical and surgical mutilation of children with sexual identity confusion. Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, Lurie Children’s Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Children’s Hospital and UW Health in Wisconsin said they would no longer offer puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and surgeries to minors.
Together, we’re standing up for our parental rights and our children’s privacy. And we hope and pray for a decision that will help a lot of other families in the future. That decision can’t come soon enough. Jeffco is failing to fulfill its responsibilities to families, parents, and teachers—and unfortunately, it’s our children who are paying the biggest price.
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.
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.”
“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.”
A UK petition to cancel a clinical trial testing puberty blockers on children surpassed 100,000 signatures yesterday — a critical milestone which qualifies the petition for debate in parliament.
A coalition of 19 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia has filed a lawsuit challenging new federal restrictions on so-called “gender-affirming” medical treatments for minors, arguing the policy unlawfully threatens health care access and state Medicaid programs.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
“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.”
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. It vindicates every parent, pastor, doctor, and policymaker who refused to bow to the deception of this age.”
Most Americans support restricting kids’ access to social media and pornography, this year’s American Family Survey shows. But many parents remain hesitant to monitor their children’s online activity.
“The Grants Pass School District is taking the right step by acknowledging that teachers don’t give up their First Amendment rights when they set foot on school property. Public schools can’t retaliate against speech simply because they disagree with what’s said.”
“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.”
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.”
Evidence continues to emerge that children are being subjected to pornography at increasingly younger ages, due mostly to accidental exposure on social media sites that do not enforce restrictions on user-posted pornography.
The Raines amended their complaint in October to accuse OpenAI of intentional misconduct — a more serious accusation reflecting new evidence showing the company disabled two of ChatGPT-4o’s suicide prevention protocols shortly before Adam’s death.
In a short statement, Justice Samuel Alito made it clear that the case raised very serious questions about parental rights. “The troubling – and tragic – allegations in this case underscore the ‘great and growing national importance’ of the question that these parent petitioners present.”
"May Lau has done untold damage to children, both physically and psychologically, and the surrendering of her Texas medical license is a major victory for our state. [But] my case against her for breaking the law will continue, and we will not relent in holding anyone who tries to 'transition' kids accountable."
“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."
The book is called “This Day in June” and parents say it’s nothing more than LGBT propaganda. The book is filled with cartoon images of a pride parade – showing men wearing leather straps and harnesses and drag queens dressed like nuns. “Clad in leather. Perfect weather,” one caption in the book reads.
"Governor Newsom is deliberately trying to deceive parents by claiming this bill protects them, when in fact it does the opposite. AB 495 strips parents of their constitutional rights and hands them over to unverified strangers. Newsom knows exactly what this bill does, but he’s hoping the press and the public won’t read it for themselves."
Government school officials in Orange County, Florida, were subjecting captive students to lessons teaching sorcery and witchcraft — literally. The move sparked outrage among critics, and legal demands that West Orange High School stop the program immediately or at least give students the ability to opt out and promote Christianity.
Yes, very bad people posing as serious academics are making real progress toward the further sexualization of our children. Academics and the journals who publish their pedophilic proposals take note: “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin” (Luke 17:2).
