11 Resources for Parents to Fight Transgender Ideology and Policy in Public Schools

June 28, 2023

As the new school year begins, parents are discovering that transgender ideology and policy has taken hold in schools across the country. Teachers are being disciplined and fired for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of transgender-identifying students, kids are being locked in to transgender identities that they would otherwise naturally grow out of, girls are having to fend for themselves after finding boys who think they are girls in their restrooms, showers, and locker rooms, and boys who think they are girls are competing in and winning girls' sporting events.

Here are some resources to help parents advocate for their children and stand up to the transgender trend that has infiltrated our nation's schools.
