    A New Hampshire teacher has been fired after she secretly escorted a pregnant special needs student to an abortion clinic. The female teacher, who has not been named to protect the identity of the student, admitted to her employer that she faked a sick day for the mission. She told staff she had food poisoning but instead drove a student to the medical facility, according to court documents. The teacher was listed as working for Regional Services and Education Center Inc, a nonprofit based in Amherst, according to the Boston Globe. The umbrella institution serves grade five to 12 students...

    The California Senate has approved a bill that would prohibit school districts from requiring school officials to share information about a student's sexual orientation and gender identity with the child's parent, drawing concerns from Christian and parental rights groups. On Monday, the Democrat-controlled California Senate passed Assembly Bill 1955 in a 29-8 vote. Support for the legislation fell along party lines, with all votes in favor of it coming from Democrats and all opposition coming from Republicans. The legislation includes a provision declaring that "[a]n employee or a contractor of a school district, county office of education, charter school, or...

    Six big school districts in Nevada responsible for thousands of students have policies to help them change sex identity in class without their parents finding out, DailyMail.com can reveal. Parents Defending Education (PDE), a conservative group, obtained details of the stealth transgender policies by making public records requests from the schools. The found that teachers are directed to help trans students change their names, pronouns, clothing, and sex identity in class without their parents' knowledge. Trans campaigners say such policies are helpful, as some kids need refuge from old-fashioned moms and dads who don't accept their offspring changing sex. But...

    Angry parents almost got into a fistfight with a school official after their autistic son was given a questionnaire asking about trans identity, sex, suicide, and violence. McCall and Jon Nelson claimed their son Hut, 13, was so badly affected by the quiz he constantly worried his friends disliked him and stopped playing football. His mother said they had the same conversation with him hundreds of times as he was unable to move on, and it 'drastically changed his life'. The questionnaire was given to him by administrators at Mount Logan Middle School in Logan, Utah, on February 7 as...

    The Show-Me State is taking the nation’s largest abortion business to court. On Monday, a hearing took place to determine whether a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R) against Planned Parenthood Great Plains could proceed. Bailey filed suit against Planned Parenthood in February, alleging that the organization was trafficking minors across state lines to obtain abortions without parental consent. The lawsuit contends, “Planned Parenthood’s most recent troubling activity was captured on video, where Planned Parenthood staff admitted they traffic minors across state lines to perform abortions on them without parental consent. Worse, they admit doing this ‘every...

    School districts in California would be barred from forcing teachers to notify parents if their child asks to go by a new pronoun at school under a bill the state Legislature is weighing amid legal battles over the rights of parents and gender-nonconforming students. The state Senate approved the proposal Thursday, which would ban school districts from passing or enforcing policies requiring school staff to disclose a student's gender identity or sexual orientation to anyone else without the child's permission, with some exceptions. The goal is to protect students whose safety could be threatened if they live in unwelcoming households.

    A federal judge in Florida struck down the state’s law banning children from undergoing sex changes, including puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, if a parent consents to treatment. Senior Judge Robert Hinkle said the law was discriminating against minorities and women. According to Hinkle, Florida went a step too far by banning transgender minors from being sex change hormones and puberty blockers if they obtain parental consent.

    The California Senate passed a bill that would ban parental notification for gender changes in public TK-12 and provide more resources to increase parental support of LGBTQ pupils. While parents broadly support disclosure rules and have approved them in many school districts, state leaders, including the attorney general — who has supported lawsuits against districts with disclosure rules — say these efforts harm transgender children. In the past year, school districts across California have adopted measures requiring parents to be notified if their children request to officially change their pronouns, go by a different name, or use facilities or school...

    The controversial Equal Rights Amendment, which was on the ballot for the November elections in New York, has been tossed by a judge on procedural grounds. The ruling is a victory for Republicans and opponents of the bill who say it was written too broadly and could trample parents’ rights when it comes to decisions like children receiving gender-affirming procedures. The ERA was a rapid response by New York Democrats to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization decision in June 2022. The amendment passed both houses of the New York legislature in a special session just one...

    Despite national attention and thousands of protesting parents, a federal court is refusing to allow parents to opt their children out of LGBT courses in school. The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decided on Wednesday that Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland does not have to allow parents to opt their children out of LGBT-themed lessons. Judge G. Steven Agee, a George W. Bush appointee, claimed that the parents seeking to opt their children out of the lessons in question did not provide sufficient evidence to justify a preliminary injunction.In March of last year, MCPS added nearly two...

    Parents cannot force a school district to let them pull their children out of classes with LGBTQ themes, an appeals court has ruled. Three sets of parents and a parental rights group sued the Montgomery County Public Schools board in Maryland after it announced the classes in 2022. They claimed not being allowed to opt out their kindergarten to grade 5 children violated their First Amendment rights to freedom of religion. But the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals denied their request for a preliminary injunction 2-1 as the parents failed to show how the policy would infringe their rights...

    TALLAHASSEE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) – The office of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sharply rebuked media outlet Axios and a Holocaust historian for using the latter’s purported academic credentials to malign a state law against LGBT indoctrination in public schools. In 2022, Florida enacted its Parental Rights in Education law over intense left-wing activist and corporate pressure. The law bans schools from teaching children in kindergarten through third grade about transgenderism and other sexuality-related issues, limits discussions of sexuality for older children to “age appropriate” content and requires parents to be informed of any changes that could affect their child’s physical,...

    Gayle Borne has fostered more than 300 children in Springfield, Tennessee. She’s cared for kids who have rarely seen a doctor — kids so neglected that they cannot speak. Such children are now even more vulnerable because of a law Tennessee passed last year that requires the direct consent of birth parents or legal guardians for every routine childhood vaccination. Foster parents, social workers, and other caregivers cannot provide permission.In January, Borne took a foster baby, born extremely premature at just over 2 pounds, to her first doctor’s appointment. The health providers said that without the consent of the child’s...
