To protect the health and well-being of all American children, Congress should not pass the Equality Act. The Equality Act’s harms to children’s minds, bodies, and family relationships would be severe—and irreversible. The Equality Act would decrease children’s safety and security in private facilities in schools and public accommodations. The Equality Act would destroy opportunities for female athletes and put them at increased risk of injury. The Equality Act would almost certainly promote gender confusion through K–12 curriculum. By politicizing the treatment of gender dysphoria, the Equality Act would also reduce therapeutic choices for parents. Including gender identity as a protected class would impose destructive gender ideology in education and medicine—and undermine parental rights.

A Virginia court ruled Tuesday that a county school system must reinstate a gym teacher it suspended for opposing proposed policies that would require all teachers to refer to students by their preferred pronouns regardless of the students’ biological sex.

Lots of parents today wouldn’t think twice about sitting their kids down in front of the Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. And that, conservatives warn, is exactly the problem. Like so many other moms and dads, they’re expecting the same kind of harmless storylines they watched in the ‘70s and ‘80s. What their children are seeing is anything but. Say goodbye to the regular plot lines of “Blue’s Clues” and “Scooby-Doo”—and say hello to a 21st-century lesson in transgenderism, sex, homosexuality, nonbinaries, and drag queens.

Just one month after Lubbock, Texas, became the state’s largest sanctuary city for the unborn (and the only sanctuary city for the unborn with an active abortion clinic), Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas last week agreed to stop performing abortions within the city limits. This announcement came after a federal district judge dismissed Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit, citing lack of standing.
