You've heard the phrase, "it takes a village to raise a
child."

But that couldn't be further from the truth.

The truth is it takes a village to protect a child from the woke
culture that believes it knows best when it comes to raising other
people's children.

At First Liberty, we not only see this all the time, but we step in to
help parents who are struggling against outside forces to raise their
children according to their religious beliefs.

Places that were once considered safe havens are now hotbeds for
indoctrination.

Your Child...Your Values...Your Choice
Join First Liberty in the Fight to Protect Parental Rights

In Encinitas, CA, for example, Carlos and Jenny Encinas'
fifth-grade son felt uncomfortable when he was forced to mentor his
kindergarten "buddy" about gender identity in a way that
went against his religious beliefs.

And when his parents requested the opportunity to opt-out of similar
programs in the future, the Encinitas Union School District not only
denied their request, but responded with hostility.

No child should be forced to speak a message that violates his or her
religious convictions.

It's not only wrong, it's illegal.

That's why First Liberty and the Encinas family are fighting to
hold the school district accountable for its actions.

We're also seeking a court order requiring the District to
notify parents in advance and allow opt-outs from teaching that
violates parents' sincerely held beliefs.

And we won't rest until the Encinitas Union School District
agrees to recognize the rights of its parents.

Tell Them to Respect Our Rights to Guide Our Children's Education

It's only because of the support and prayers from people of
faith like you that we're able to fight for families like the
Encinas.

You keep us on the frontlines of these fights.

And by partnering with First Liberty, you're taking an important
first step to hold bureaucrats accountable when it comes to protecting
the rights of parents.

Your generous gift today will ensure that our expert attorneys have
the resources they need to stand up to school districts that think
they can do whatever they want when it comes to indoctrinating our
children.

Will you stand with the Encinas family and fight for parental rights?

Together, we can stop them from running roughshod over the fundamental
rights of parents to raise their children according to their religious
beliefs.

Grateful for you, 

Kelly
