Disney removed a character’s transgender-themed storyline from an upcoming animated series out of deference to parents who prefer to address such a subject within the family.

The fashion industry is using its vast influence to groom children into transgenderism
For the past several years, the American public has been making it clear that they are sick of being force-fed transgender nonsense. Disney took a massive hit after embracing gender ideology. Bud Light’s stock cratered, and they are now releasing a string of macho advertisements (one featuring Shane Gillis) that come as close to begging Americans to drink their swill as they can get without actually apologizing. During the presidential election, Trump’s ads targeting gender ideology had an outsize impact.

Maine high school plans to give students birth control in secretive ‘health center’
While parents and other citizens are rightly concerned with the curricula in schools and the books in their libraries, another threat to parental rights and the wellbeing of minors exists in “school-based health centers.” The Daily Signal highlights an issue with one such proposal in Maine, where a high school would operate a center that could give out abortifacient birth control. The Maine School Administrative District 11 would “provide confidential ‘mental health, reproductive health, and substance use’ care to minors who ‘demonstrate decision-making capacity,’” according to The Daily Signal.

California Begins Purge of Christian Foster Parents Who Won’t Force Woke Agenda on Kids
Christian foster parents with traditional, biblical beliefs on gender and sexuality are being systematically excluded from California’s foster care system due to the enforcement of SB 407. This new law, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), mandates that foster parents, irrespective of whether they have an LGBTQ-identified child in their care, must affirm a child’s chosen gender identity or sexual orientation. Neutrality is no longer acceptable under the updated guidelines issued by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

Are Schools Secretly Helping Transition Kids? Parental Rights Battle Intensifies
“After the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case surrounding a public school district’s policy of concealing student gender transitions from parents, a veteran attorney who worked at the U.S. Department of Education is explaining the massive implications.
Earlier this week, the high court declined to hear Parents Protecting Our Children, UA v. Eau Claire Area School District, a case that would have put parental rights front and center.”
Kash Patel would be a guardian for the voice of parents
The nomination of Kash Patel for FBI director by President-elect Donald Trump could not come at a more pivotal moment. Patel, with his background and outspoken commitment to dismantling what he calls the “deep state,” represents a beacon of hope for parents across America who fear their voices are being silenced. Kash Patel brings a unique perspective to this role. His experience in national security, coupled with his vocal critique of the misuse of governmental power, uniquely positions him to reform the FBI from within.

LGBT group challenges Alberta pro-family bill, wants puberty blockers for 10-year-olds
A federally funded pro-LGBT group is challenging Alberta’s pro-family legislation that bans giving often sterilizing puberty blockers to kids, claiming sex “reassignment” procedures are necessary for children. “If you deny a kid access to blockers and then they go through permanent changes via puberty, they then have to pursue medical treatment and interventions to undo the effects of [puberty], so that is how the coercion is operating,” Bennett Jensen, legal director at Egale Canada, told CBC News.

The Two-Parent Privilege: Understanding Contemporary Family Formation
We are seeing declines in married parenting among all ethnic groups, save for Asian-Americans. But we must note that in marriage- and married-parenting rates are hanging steady among the college educated, while they are declining sharply among the less educated. Most single-parent homes are created, not by divorce, but by out-of-wedlock births among non-teens and non-college educated women. This has been true since the mid-1980s.

Documentary Tells Story Of Young Girl Duped Into Gender Change: ‘What Happened To Me Wasn’t Right’
The law firm representing a 20-year-old detransitioner released a documentary Thursday detailing how this young woman was duped into a gender transition at the age of 12.
“My doctor told my parents that they could either have a living son or a dead daughter,” Breen says in the trailer for the documentary. “It was never really about the why, it really just felt like they were trying to get me through transition as quick as possible. It wasn’t until earlier this year, when I actually started doing research about my own doctor, and the things that she said, that’s when I started to realize that what happened to me wasn’t right.”
