Patriot,

I want to challenge your assumptions about public schools. 

It's a different world from when we were kids—when schools were safer and teachers were there to help students learn and better themselves.

We cannot give schools the benefit of the doubt anymore.  Even in red states, you have radical gender ideologies and Critical Race Theory in the school curriculum.

The Goldwater Institute is suing schools that violate parental rights.  Can you please support our urgent work by donating today?

Here’s one story from a school in Maine: 

Last December, Amber Lavigne was in her 13-year-old daughter’s room when she found a chest binder—an undergarment used to flatten breasts.

Amber was alarmed, and when she started investigating she was shocked to discover that a school social worker, who had been seeing Amber’s daughter since October, secretly gave the child the chest binder and advised her about gender transitioning. 

The social worker told Amber’s daughter the school wouldn’t inform her parents about any of it and that she shouldn’t do so either.

The school violated Amber’s parental rights as protected by the Constitution. 

Now the Goldwater Institute is stepping in to hold the school accountable.

Let me briefly introduce myself and our organization.  I am Victor Riches, President and CEO of the Goldwater Institute, the nation’s leading liberty organization.  We provide pro-bono legal support for parents like Amber Lavigne. 

I’ve set a goal to find 500 new donors to fund our American Freedom Network, which provides pro-bono legal support to protect parental rights and stop schools from indoctrinating children.

Amber and her daughter’s story doesn’t end there, though. 

When Amber contacted school officials, the administrators defended the counselor’s actions.  She also learned that school personnel had already been referring to Amber’s daughter with a different name and different pronouns.
 

“This is unacceptable: a school employee secretly encouraged my daughter to change her gender and hide it from me.  The school never stopped trying to keep me in the dark at every turn, repeatedly stonewalling me when I tried to find out what was going on.  My parental rights aren’t up for debate: I deserve to know what’s happening to my child in school.”
— Amber Lavigne

Now, we’re demanding the school board investigate the counselor’s actions and force them to accept parental rights as defined by law.  The school’s actions toward Amber and her daughter aren’t just wrong — they’re unconstitutional.

Parents have a fundamental right to control and direct their children’s education, upbringing, and healthcare decisions.  The Goldwater Institute is leading the effort to protect parental rights in courts and force schools to stop this radical trend in gender ideology. 

You can help the Goldwater Institute support the rights of parents today with a gift of any amount. Please help me support families like Amber and her daughter. 

No other organization has done more to defend parental rights than the Goldwater Institute:
 

• We helped concerned parents get the answers they deserved after school districts charged them thousands of dollars just to find out what was being taught in their kids’ schools.
   
• We’re actively dismantling the power of teacher unions by leading the nation in passing school choice legislation so that kids can receive the education that best fits their needs. 
   
• We’re defeating Critical Race Theory (CRT) and woke nonsense in the classroom. 
   
• We created the blueprint for conservatives to tie education funding to students instead of sending your tax dollars to radical administrators and school boards.
   
• We’ve transformed Arizona into the most pro-school choice state in the country and brought school choice legislation to 22 other states. 

As schools try to ramp up woke indoctrination like CRT and gender ideology, the rights of parents are more important than ever.
