One of the things being pushed in our schools today is the notion that students can somehow choose whether they're a boy or a girl. Those who argue against such ideas are branded haters and bigots.
So be it. Facts are facts, and we must not be afraid to advocate for the truth. This is the truth. Within every cell in our bodies is a chromosome which determines our gender: XY for boys, XX for girls. Removing or adding body parts, taking drugs to alter a person's characteristics, or making someone believe they are not in the proper body, these do nothing to alter whether someone is a boy or a girl. Nothing.
Why are our schools continuing to push this idea on our elementary school students? That is the question we must focus on.
Know the Truth...
Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:26-27
"A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent." - John Calvin
"Whatever satisfies the soul is truth." - Walt Whitman
Kids in grades K to 3 are being targetted...
Our youngest are being intentionally confused.
And is it any wonder? With cutesy characters being pushed by supposedly trusted authority figures like our elementary school teachers -- characters like the "genderbread person" and the "gender unicorn" -- youngsters are being setup to accept the false thinking that says that they may choose whether they are a boy or a girl. Silliness, pure and simple.
Remember what the old rhime said?
"What are little girls made of, made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice; That's what little girls are made of."
"What are little boys made of, made of? What are little boys made of? Snips and snails and puppy-dog tails; That's what little boys are made of."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that.
If you share our concern over what has been taking place in our classrooms, please consider joining with us as we fight for families, for children, for education, for truth, and for common sense.
We continue to ask people whether they understand what is now taking place within our school systems. We continue to provide information and resources to help people, especially parents, gain some idea of what's being taught to kids (and why). And yes, we continue to ask people to get involved and help with the lifting.
We fight against children being taught to hate their country, to judge people based on their skin color, and to ignore the basic truths of biology. We fight against the sexualization in school of little ones and the destruction of the innocence of youth. Perhaps most importantly, we fight to ensure that the proper teaching of math, reading and writing remains at the center to a child's education.
The idea that it is parents who are responsible for raising, educating, and seeing to the well being of their kids, that is sacrosanct.
Join with us in preserving the attributes and ideals of this great nation.
Feel free to forward this newsletter to friends and family. Actually anyone who acknowledges the fundamental right of parents to raise, educate, and protect their children are invited to join with us. We are gathering a group of joyful warriors, folks who understands why (and for whom) we fight.

Know Your Parental Rights
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, 1974) gives parents the right to inspect their child's educational records at the school, to have those records explained if necessary, and to request updates and/or corrections to those records.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015) guarantees parents the ability to meet with teachers, reasonable access to staff, opportunities to volunteer, participate and observe their child's classroom, the right to ask for qualifications of a child's teachers, and other things. Learn more by downloading the ESSA Parent Advocacy Toolkit.
Parents have the right to participate in parent councils and committees, and the right to join the school's parent-teacher association or organization (PTO/ PTA).
In California, parents have the legal right to be notified if the school is conducting medical, cognitive, or language screenings of children.
Parents can request to have their children opt out of sexual health and HIV/AIDS prevention classes by requesting an exemption in writing.
Be the change...
While the U.S. Constitution does not expressly discuss parental rights,the right to protect, raise, and educate your own children has been described as the oldest of our fundamental liberties.
The history and culture of Western civilization embraces a strong tradition of parental rights, and the Supreme Court of these United States has described parental rights as being "established beyond debate as an enduring American tradition." See Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 US 205, 232 (1972).
Parents need to begin to recognize the rights they hold as parents.
Please let us know if you'll be attending. We are trying to get a handle on if there's interest in doing this. Thanks!
Think on this...
I DESIRE ONLY TO KNOW THE TRUTH, AND TO LIVE AS WELL AS i CAN, AND TO THE UTMOST OF MY POWER, I EXHORT ALL OTHER MEN TO DO THE SAME. I EXHORT YOU ALSO TO TAKE PART IN THE GREAT COMBAT, WHICH IS THE COMBAT OF LIFE, AND GREATER THAN EVERY OTHER EARTHLY CONFLICT.
- Socrates
MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY IGNORANT PEOPLE, WANT TO PUNISH YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH, FOR BEING CORRECT, FOR BEING YOU. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING CORRECT, OR FOR BEING YEARS AHEAD OF YOUR TIME. IF YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU KNOW IT, SPEAK YOUR MIND. SPEAK YOUR MIND. EVEN IF YOU ARE A MINORITY OF ONE, THE TRUTH IS STILL THE TRUTH.
- Mahatma Gandhi
