As parents become more aware of what radical activists are teaching their kids in school, a group of House Republicans held a “Back-to-School Roundtable” on Capitol Hill aimed at protecting children from LGBT ideology.
“We have seen school boards, teachers unions, and even the Department of Justice attempt to hijack parental rights. But these people do not have our kids’ and grandkids’ best interests at heart,” Rep. Debbie Lesko , R-Ariz., said in her opening remarks.
House Republicans’ Protect Kids Caucus hosted the meeting Thursday morning to bring together lawmakers, concerned parents, and members of the Independent Women’s Forum, a conservative group.
“Back-to-school season is now well underway. Parents expect to send their children to school to learn math, science, reading, and writing,” Lesko told participants. “Instead, they are finding that schools are becoming a center for sexualizing and indoctrinating their children.”
In an interview afterward, Lesko told The Daily Signal that she plans to draft legislation to counter LGBT ideology in schools if Republicans recapture the House majority following the midterm elections Nov. 8.
“I think when Republicans take back the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, we’re going to stop some of this insanity of having books in schools that have graphic pornography, sex, and oral sex between the same sex,” she said. “Republicans are opposed to the sexualization of young children in our schools.”
Lesko was joined at the roundtable by four other House Republicans: Reps. Mary Miller of Illinois, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, and Carol Miller of West Virginia.
West Virginia’s Miller, a certified teacher, said she is worried about teachers beginning to indoctrinate children with LGBT ideology rather than educate them.“I’m of the generation where we had to fight for women’s rights,” she said. “Now they can’t even tell you what a woman is. We […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
