Not so long ago, teachers were responsible for educating kids about specific subject matters (math, English, history). Parents were responsible in all other ways for raising those same children. Only if a parent were genuinely abusive was a teacher obligated to interfere in that relationship, and that meant contacting Child Protective Services. Today, though, gender-crazed teachers have concluded that they have greater rights in children than parents do. Thanks mostly to Libs of TikTok, we’ve spent the last two years seeing teachers boasting about how they hide a child’s gender “transition” from parents, and we’ve seen parents raging on the...

Labor Party chairwoman MK Merav Michaeli attacked Deputy Finance Minister Michal Woldiger, after it was announced that the "transgender-boy," a girl who has been dressed as a boy for years, would be transferred from her school in Givat Shmuel to a school for gifted students. "I want to say to Michal Woldiger from Religious Zionism, well done. You won," Michaeli wrote on her Twitter account. "You destroyed the life of an 8-year-old boy from Givat Shmuel." .....

Dr. Anthony Fauci infamously used propaganda, lies, and manipulation to coerce parents into getting their children vaccinated. In the aftermath of those shots, 118,000 youths “died suddenly” by October of 2022. The truth about the Covid vaccine’s safety had been buried deep within Fauci’s own lies and deceit and confidential United States Government and Pfizer documents. A secret Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report has revealed that nearly half a million children and young adults died within a year of Fauci’s fateful announcement that younger people can also be “vaccinated” for COVID-19. Over 1118,000 of those deaths are suspected to...

A Democratic Pennsylvania State senator – Steve Santarsiero – sponsored a "queer prom" event which featured lube, condoms and a drag queen show for minors, Libs of TikTok reported. When Fox News Digital reached out for comment about the drag queen performance, the state senator boasted his support of the event which occurred at a Planned Parenthood-sponsored youth program called the "Rainbow Room," which is located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The "Queer Prom" was open to minors starting at age 14 and offered goodie bags of "Condoms, lube, dental dams, latex dam[s]." Fox News followed up with the senator on...

If you happen to be someone with a lick of common sense left in your head, the answer to the question in the title of this piece should be an obvious and resounding “yes.” But that’s apparently not the case with Katie J. M. Baker, a reporter who covers “social and cultural conflicts” for the New York Times. In an article published this weekend, Baker tells the story of Jessica Bradshaw, a California mother who had no idea that her 15-year-old daughter had begun “identifying” as a boy until she saw “an unfamiliar (male) name” on the top of one...

California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife, “First Partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have quite a money-making scheme going on: “He runs the state and she’s a nonprofit founder, entrepreneur, and filmmaker,” Open the Books reports. “While her husband attends to state business, Siebel Newsom engages in her passion: advancing ‘gender justice’ through her charitable nonprofit The Representation Project. According to tax documents the organization is ‘committed to building a thriving and inclusive society through films, education, and social activism.’” Jennifer Siebel Newsom solicited state vendors and the governor’s campaign donors for large gifts to her charity, The Representation Project. Siebel...

Speech contained “obscenely violent pornographic” material, suit claims. A Las Vegas-area school district is facing a lawsuit after two parents claimed their young daughter was required to read a graphic lesbian monologue as part of a school assignment. Clark County School District responded to the suit this week by claiming that the parents who filed the suit used “hyperbole and incendiary language” in their pleadings, “demoniz[ing]” the “good faith efforts” by the school district to address their concerns. The lawsuit, filed by Candra and Terrell Evans, claims their daughter “C.E.” was forced to “perform obscene, sexual activity as a class...

The policy covers pronoun usage, preferred bathrooms and diversity training for staffA school district in Pennsylvania recently released a proposed policy that prohibits educators from informing parents of their child's gender identity or preferred pronouns unless required by law. The Upper Moreland School District's proposed policy on "Transgender and Gender Diverse Students" was discussed at a school board meeting on Jan. 17. Pronoun usage, preferred bathrooms and diversity training for staff are all covered under the new policy.

A simple nasal spray significantly reduced snoring and breathing difficulties in children and halved the number needing to have their tonsils removed, according to a new study. The research found a saline (salt water) nasal spray was just as effective as an anti-inflammatory steroid nasal spray at easing sleep disordered breathing in children after six weeks of treatment. The findings stated both nasal sprays cleared symptoms while asleep in about 40 percent of cases and those assessed by a surgeon as needing their tonsils and/or adenoids removed was reduced by half. The randomized-controlled "MIST" trial of the sprays involved 276...

An American fashion designer who spent 16 years in Shanghai has published an essay in the New York Times highlighting the virtues of raising her children under the watchful and authoritarian eye of the Chinese government. Heather Kaye, 49, arrived in Shanghai in 2006 with her husband George and planned to be there for a year. But the couple stayed and ended up raising their two daughters there. However, in 2022 the family was driven to return to the US after living for two years under the country's draconian COVID-19 policies. She has now described her return to Washington DC...

The Biden Administration’s Department of Education (ED) has launched an investigation into a school district in Texas after the school banned several sexually explicit books. As reported by Breitbart, the investigation is being led by the ED’s Office for Civil Rights, which claims that such a ban amounts to a failure to provide representation for “LGBTQ” characters, which the ED says can be considered discrimination. The investigation into Granbury Independent School District comes after the far-left American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) complained about the district’s book bans over the summer. The district banned at least 130 books from its school...

We’ve not seen anything about this story outside of Twitchy parent-site Townhall, but if we did, we can only imagine the reaction. The outrage would be directed at reporter Mia Cathell for deliberately choosing to shine the light on an LGBTQ pedophile ring. It’s similar to when those opposing the Parental Rights in Education Act were being called groomers; the reaction was to point out that most child sexual abuse takes place either within the home or at church. This story — and it’s disturbing — takes place in the home between two fathers and their adopted sons. 🕵️‍♂️ I...

The proposed bill would allow 12-year-olds to get vaccinations of any kind without getting a parent’s or guardian’s consent.

Madonna, the “Queen of Pop,” is once again making news after being accused of running a child trafficking ring in an orphanage in Southern Africa under the name “Raising Malawi.” Madonna started a foundation called ‘Raising Malawi‘ in 2006 to help orphans and other underprivileged children in Malawi get access to healthcare and education. Malawi is a southeast African country bordered by Zambia, the United Republic of Tanzania, and Mozambique. “Raising Malawi supports orphans and vulnerable children with critical resources including education, medical care, food and shelter, and psychosocial support,” according to its website.

This is Part 1 of a four-part investigative series. Content Warning: This article contains graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse. Reader discretion is advised. A months-long Townhall investigation reveals disturbing new details about the affluent LGBTQ-activist couple accused of sodomizing their young adopted sons—now ages 9 and 11—and distributing "homemade" child pornography of the sexual abuse. Half a year after the shocking story made national news, Townhall is the only outlet following up on the criminal case in Georgia that has since seen zero headlines written about it. We've found that it's far, far worse than what was first reported....

Even the frigid temperatures couldn’t keep angry South Dakotans away. Despite the blistering, nine-degree cold, as many as 150 people gathered in the snow outside the 2023 Midwest Gender Identity Summit in Sioux Falls Friday morning to protest Sanford Health’s unwelcome presence in their state. Standing by snow drifts, with a long convoy of cars heading to join them, organizer Adam Broin insisted, “This is NOT South Dakota!” But according to a bombshell report by NRO reporter Nate Hochman, it may already be South Dakota, thanks to the transgender movement’s unlikely ally: Republican Governor Kristi Noem. For Noem, who’s been...

Brice Williams, a local drag queen who counseled LGBT youth in Harrisburg, has been charged with downloading photos and videos of child pornography two years ago, court documents said. Williams, 26, of Chambersburg, is charged with 25 counts of child pornography for at least 49 photos and 25 videos of naked, prepubescent boys that the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office said he downloaded between May and December 2020. The sexually-explicit content showed genitalia and boys performing sex acts on one another — sometimes with an adult man, as well, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed Thursday. Authorities said the...

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law on Friday that legally protects out-of-state abortion seekers, as well as abortionists and doctors who perform sex-mutilating surgeries, CBS Chicago reported. “In addition to shielding reproductive and gender-affirming health care patients and providers from legal action originating across state lines, the act will also protect the Illinois licenses of health care providers licensed in multiple states who provide treatment legal in Illinois but may cost them their license in a state where it’s not,” according to the report. “The measure also prevents insurers from charging more for out-of-network care when in-network...

January 11, 2023 The Dutch Studies and The Myth of Reliable Research in Pediatric Gender Medicine A new study identifying flaws in gender medicine research demands urgent attention from the medical community Twitter A new open-access publication, “The Myth of Reliable Research in Pediatric Gender Medicine,” focuses on the two Dutch studies that gave rise to “gender-affirmative” care for youth worldwide. The authors convincingly demonstrate that rather than "solid prospective research" or even the “gold standard” in research, as these studies are frequently described by the proponents of "gender-affirmative care," the Dutch research suffers from profound, previously unrecognized problems. These...

The pretense of DGSHs is to teach literacy and tolerance for LGBTQ+ people. A leading Vermont drag queen is legislator Taylor Small, a biological man who identifies as a woman, and professes a “strong background in… cultural humility education.” Small openly promotes her drag queen activism: My activism has taken many shapes and forms over the years, but the most notable is my drag persona, Nikki Champagne. Alongside my business partner, Emoji Nightmare, I have had the opportunity to provide Drag Queen Story Hours across the state promoting local libraries and youth literacy.The pretense of DGSHs is to teach literacy...
