Texas continues to lead the nation in protecting children from sexually inappropriate books and supporting parental rights.

We are deeply disappointed in Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. He closed out 2023 by vetoing a commonsense bill that would have protected Ohio's children from the toxic transgender ideology. The legislation would have prevented a minor child from being given powerful chemicals to block their normal puberty. The bill also protected women's sports in Ohio by ensuring that only biological girls could participate in female sports competitions. Similar legislation has passed in dozens of states around the country, and polling shows the public agrees with the legislation's goals.

An openly homosexual school board member in Fairfax County, Virginia, was just sworn into office on a stack of sexually explicit books that many leftists insist are being banned.

The clueless testimony presented by the presidents of three elite American universities before the House Education and the Workforce Committee has ignited a national firestorm. The hearing dealt with the shocking explosion of anti-Semitism on American university campuses in the weeks after Hamas massacred 1,500 Israelis on October 7th. Concerned members of the committee demanded an explanation for why Jewish students are being threatened and harassed with no consequences for the students who are doing the harassment.
