You Can Double Your Gift to Protect Kids Government officials are crossing the line, harming kids, and ignoring parents’ rights. For the vast majority of our nation’s history, everyone agreed that parents get to make the educational, medical, religious, and other important life decisions for their children. But now, there are some government officials who want more power. They think they know better than parents. And they are pushing destructive ideologies—like radical gender ideology and critical race theory—on the captive audience of children in schools, confusing kids about their bodies ...

Parents have the responsibility to direct their children’s upbringing. But today, tragically, some government officials are intentionally undercutting the important role of mothers and fathers in their children’s lives. And in one of the most egregious examples of this, there are school districts across the country that advance the idea that gender is socially constructed and that it can be chosen and changed.

When Elizabeth faced an unexpected pregnancy shortly after graduating college, she didn’t know where to turn. Although she was unsure about pursuing abortion, her boyfriend at the time wanted her to go to Planned Parenthood—and soon she found herself being coerced to take abortion drugs.

Imagine feeling a conviction to adopt and care for other children—to love those who lack a loving home. And now imagine that your state is excluding you from adoption because you won’t contradict your beliefs— you won’t encourage a child to identify as the opposite sex or take them to receive cross-sex hormone shots intended to block their natural biological development. This is exactly the situation Jessica Bates faces in Oregon. Oregon officials are preventing Jessica and others like her from adopting a child if they believe sex is unchangeable—whether based on Scripture or biology. It’s a ...
