Dear John,
I never thought it would be me.
I’d seen the news headlines and the crazy videos of activist teachers talking about how they indoctrinated students with ideas about sexuality and gender, against parents' wishes and behind their backs…
But I never thought in a million years it would happen to my family.
And then it did.
My 11-year-old daughter went to the guidance counselor, after a death in our family, for help processing that loss.
In a meeting that was supposed to help my daughter manage her grief, her guidance counselor convinced her to begin identifying as a boy at school.
She went into that office as my daughter and left with a boy’s name asking to be called a “he.”
It took just minutes.
All of this was done without my knowledge – and even worse, the school told her to hide all of this from me.
So, I’m suing Chico Unified School District with the help of the Center for American Liberty – not for damages, or for emotional distress, but to put an end to its “Parental Secrecy Policy” that directs teachers and staff to hide a child’s “social transition” from parents.
Because when we win this lawsuit, we’ll set a precedent nationwide.
My daughter might have wanted to tell me about her “new identity” right away – because I’m her mother, she trusts me, and she knows I love her unconditionally.
But her guidance counselor discouraged her from talking to me about it.
She encouraged her to “come out” to her teachers, her peers – everyone but me.
It was two months after the initial meeting by the time I found out what was going on, and it wasn’t because the school notified me or because my daughter told me.
It was because my daughter told my mother who then told me.
And thankfully we were able to put an end to this.
My daughter is doing well. She goes by the name I gave her, and knows she is a girl.
But I know we were the lucky ones.
I know that if the school had its way, my daughter might be on medications and thinking about dangerous surgeries, changing her body forever, putting her own health at risk.
And in my state, they could’ve done all of it behind my back.
But I’m not moving; I’m fighting back!
Because the truth is, what starts in California never stays here.
But I don’t stand a chance without you.
Will you make a generous, tax-deductible donation of $35 or more to my lawsuit today, and take a stand for American children and parental rights?
We’re up against an evil unlike anything I’ve seen in my life – and it grows more powerful by the day.
But the truth is on our side.
When patriotic Americans come together, it doesn’t matter who stands against us.
