School staff will NEVER know a child like their parents.

⚠️ “Gender affirming care” means more than just using someone’s “preferred pronouns” or new name.
It involves irreversible medical interventions, non-approved drug applications, and in some increasingly common cases, mutilating surgeries.
52 years ago, Title IX was passed to expand opportunities for women & girls in education, including school athletics‼️
The Biden-Harris admin’s
#TitleIX
rewrite, going into effect TOMORROW, will erase women’s hard-earned gains & equal athletic competition.
In a powerful speech at her school board meeting this week, Merianne Jensen made it clear that she is DONE with the school district’s blatant political theater.
Merianne joined
