Wisconsin Family Values is Target of Violent Attack

This week, Wisconsin Family Action was targeted by a violent attack from pro-abortion activists, who threw a molotov cocktail through the window and started a fire, destroying much of the president of the organization’s office. Local reporters from outlets including WISC-TV, the Wisconsin State Journal, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said they visited the office of Wisconsin Family Action on Sunday and shared photos and videos of the arson attack. A shattered window has since been boarded up, and images show fire-damaged furniture and burned books littering the floor of the office. The exterior of the building was tagged in cursive: "If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either." Wisconsin Family Action speaks out on pro-life and pro-family issues, and they are part of the same network of family policy groups as Texas Values. These bombs and attacks against pro-life and pro-family organizations like ours need to stop immediately.

This week, Texas Values is urging the Round Rock school district Board of Trustees to stop stalling on the process of hearing a parent’s complaint about a male using the girl’s locker room. A few weeks ago, Texas Values announced that it submitted a request to find out more about policies of a male student using the female locker room in the Round Rock Independent School District. The school district responded by requesting Texas Values pay $29,147.79 to fulfill the request. The Texas Attorney General is investigating that cost estimate. Texas Values wants the school board to give the parents a hearing NOW before the school year ends.

Jonathan Saenz, Texas Values President and lawyer has agreed to legally represent the parents in this hearing.

The Texas library association hosted drag queens and a social justice workshop to “help students become anti-racists.”  In response, Texas Values’ Senior Policy Advisor, Mary Elizabeth Castle, was quoted in a recent Christian Post article.  She said, “I’m just very disappointed that, at the annual conference for librarians who are in charge of the books that your kids can check out, they would have this type of adult entertainment at their conference.”

The event was attended by several pastors who came to the Texas Capitol in 2021 with the Church Ambassador Network.
