Dear John,

The Biden-Harris administration has made it clear--they believe your children belong to them. In April of 2023, President Biden addressed "award-winning teachers" in the Rose Garden following years of controversy over LGBTQ indoctrination in public education. During his remarks, Biden quoted a former teacher of his, saying, "There is no such thing as someone else's child."

"Our nation's children are all our children."

Under normal circumstances, Americans would appreciate a community effort to raise the next generation. But the Biden-Harris administration has been fighting to erase parental rights in education and to tell us what is best for our children, and the fight continues to this day.

Parents have been investigated for showing up to school board meetings and are having their children taken away over their refusal to participate in so-called gender-affirming care. Female students are being forced to share bathrooms with biological males and compete against them in sports. Children are being taught that they can be born in the wrong body.

Christian Americans are being blocked from participating in foster programs out of fear that they might teach the children in their care that biological sex cannot be changed. Those promoting radical gender ideology say that they are doing what is "best for kids," but that is a lie--they are only sowing confusion and setting children up for harm.

But FRC knows that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7).

And we are still putting our Children First, especially in education. Today is the last day to partner with FRC in our Children First campaign.

America's schools quickly came to a boiling point after the Biden-Harris administration took office in 2021. The epicenter was right outside Washington D.C., in Loudoun County, Virginia. Parents began protesting the LGTBQ and critical race theory content that school boards have been pushing in classrooms. All these parents wanted was to see classrooms return to common sense education.

The Biden-Harris administration wouldn't let that happen.

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona slammed the parents for "misbehaving in public" and said that the parents were the ones "fighting against kids." Then U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to target parents that the National School Board Association labeled "terrorists."

But their intimidation tactics didn't work, and more parents began to stand up.

The Lord began putting believers into a position to take a stand for biblical truth in our schools. Sonja Shaw was elected to the Chino Valley Unified School District in late 2022 after being called to push back on radical transgender policies in the state of California.

In her first year, Ms. Shaw led the school board to pass the "Parental Notification Policy" that requires parental notifications when students begin to identify as a gender other than their biological sex.

Less than a week later, Sonja began to receive death threats against her and her family. Sonja stood strong in her conviction--and I am proud to say we stood with her. We won't back down, and we're committed to always putting Children First.

There is still much work to be done to defend our children's education. That's why our Senior Fellow for Education Studies, Meg Kilgannon, has dedicated so much of her time to developing resources for concerned parents across our nation.

In her publication, A Concerned Citizen's Guide to Engaging with Public Schools, she explains how we can address academic underperformance and reject radical indoctrination. Meg has also led our efforts to train future school board members with our School Board Boot Camps.

This is just one of the many ways FRC is working to put Children First. But time is running out. You must partner with us before tonight's midnight deadline in order to take advantage of our $300,000 Challenge Match and triple your impact! And don't forget, when you give $30 or more, we'll send you a copy of Raising Spiritual Champions!

It's becoming clear that our hard work is paying off and that the tide is turning in our favor.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry recently signed a new state law that requires all public schools from elementary to college to display the Ten Commandments. Oklahoma has also started teaching the historical impact of the Ten Commandments and the Bible as a whole. Numerous other states have proposed similar legislation.

But it's up to you and me to continue showing support for believers in government.

We must restore faith in our public education system. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." It's important to remember that we aren't just choosing a path for Christian children in this nation--we are forging one. We are working together to light the way for our children so that they can be a light to others.

Will you join FRC in putting Children First by defeating the radical indoctrination in our schools?
