Children At Risk

As many of you know, Dr. James Dobson and I co-wrote "Children At Risk, Winning the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Your Children" more than 30 years ago. One of the dangers we warned about in the book was the public policy goals of the radical gay rights movement. 

Of course, conservatives have been mocked over the years for suggesting there was a "gay agenda" aimed at children. "That's a bunch of homophobic fearmongering," we were told. 

But from kids cartoons to drag queen story hour in the public schools, it's undeniable now. There is a gay agenda aimed at kids, and the left isn't even trying to hide it anymore.

What ever happened to reading, writing and arithmetic? That's what schools should be for. But instead of teaching our children how to be productive citizens, the government-run schools have become indoctrination centers for left-wing activism.

It was bad enough when Dr. Dobson and I wrote "Children At Risk," and it's only gotten worse since then. 

If Marxist critical race theory and radical environmentalism weren't bad enough, now cultural extremists are demanding that children as young as kindergarten be exposed to radical sexual theories and concepts like "gender fluidity," and who knows what else. 

Children are being "transitioned" in the public schools without their parent's knowledge. (Here, here and here.)

Thankfully, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Sunshine State legislators are fighting back to protect our kids. The state recently passed legislation the left claims is a "Don't Say Gay" law. I'm sure you've probably heard about it. 

Unbelievably, the White House took time out of its day yesterday -- in the middle of a major foreign policy crisis -- to condemn Gov. DeSantis over this law. Hollywood celebrities and "woke" corporations are expressing their outrage, too.

Exactly what is so terrible about the law? Well, let's start with the name. It's not called, "The Don't Say Gay Law." The law is correctly known as the Parental Rights In Education Act, and it does not ban the word "gay."

It does, however, ban teachers and school officials from pushing radical gender insanity on kids in kindergarten through third grade. 

That some leftist bureaucrats think they have a right to expose your children to such offensive material and to indoctrinate your young kids in gender confusion is outrageous! 

That the White House, the left and the media are lying to you about this obscene agenda is equally outrageous!

So, kudos to Gov. DeSantis and to the Florida legislature. Don't back down!
