My son wanted to be a pirate when he was 5. So glad we didn't gouge his eye, cut off his hand for a hook or lop off his leg & give him a peg. Affirming children is one of the worst things a parent can do for their child.

“Our duty as parents is to affirm our children,” says California State Rep. Lori Wilson, who authored the bill that will take custody of children from parents if they don’t “affirm” their gender identity.

@religiongal If students can't read Elder Holland's seminal talk on the purpose of the university, they have no business being at BYU. They should throw in the Family Proclamation, while they're at it.

Less than 0.00009 of kids in California died from Covid. The suicide rate for kids is higher than that in California.

It should be noted that California kids are at the bottom of the nation in literacy rates. And yet the State Board of Education persists in an anti-scientific method of teaching reading as millions of children fall further behind academically. But yes, the California Legislature

Telling teachers to lie to parents & students is the official policy of the California Dept of Education (see their AB 1266 FAQ). It's not only contrary to Ed Code 51101, Section 233.5 has something to say about knowingly promoting falsehoods.

Parents, do we have your attention yet? The state is coming for your kids. Using case law that he knows to be incorrectly applied, the AG is going after a duly elected school district that implemented a policy COMPLETELY CONSISTENT with current state law. @LauraPowellEsq

Apparently, the @latimes style guide approves of villainizing concerned parents who successfully beat a million-dollar opposition campaign for school board & calling them a "right-wing zealot," "bigot" & "divisive" simply because they are conservative & religious.

Been reading a lot about parental rights as of late. The US Supreme Court has repeatedly declared and confirmed the expansive rights of parents. Here are a few examples:

The cost of the High-Speed Rail for the Merced to Bakersfield line has ballooned from around $22.5 billion in 2022 to $32.9 billion in a new estimate. This project is not delivering as promised. It is over-deadline, over-budget, and under-delivering. Californians deserve better.

At a really difficult time near the end of my teenage years, my mom cut this quote from a Reader's Digest magazine & mailed it to me. It changed the way I thought about my parents. I think about it regularly as a father of teens, a son of aging parents & as I prepare for another
