“He just like looked at me with some pretty hateful eyes,” said Glass, who thought the man was about to hit the car she was standing near. Instead, the man flung a metal pipe that struck her in the face. Stitches were required to close the wound over her eye, she said. Bystanders came and held the man down until police arrived at the intersection of South Olive and West 8th streets and took him into custody. Glass said she had no previous interaction with the man and warned others to be ready for anything when out in public. “There’s...

The rights of LGBTQ students would become enshrined in federal law and victims of campus sexual assault would gain new protections under new rules proposed by the Biden administration on Thursday.

Nothing in the 1972 law explicitly addresses the topic, but the new proposal would clarify that the law applies to discrimination based...

Public unaware...Screenshot from the online survey given to teachers at Massachusetts middle schools. As we described earlier, the teaching profession has been overwhelmed by dysfunctional people and committed radicals....Last month, a middle school teacher in Saugus, Massachusetts shared with MassResistance a disturbing survey that the teachers at her school were being asked to fill out. It was also given to teachers at another middle school nearby, and likely others. The survey was written by the Everett LGBTQ+ Youth Space and Resource Center (ELYSRC), a slick “local” LGBT organization which clearly appears to be organized and funded by outside forces. The...

A police officer in Naperville, Illinois, pulled over a driver for a minor traffic violation when another vehicle pulled up beside him traveling in the opposite direction, according to WSPY News.

The NY Times Magazine has published a lengthy story about the fight going on inside and outside the organization that sets standards of care for trans people, including children. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) last published standards of care in 2012 and has been working on revising them for months.
