The government has no business censoring conversations between clients and counselors. But that’s just what the state of Washington is doing to Brian Tingley. Brian just wants to help others as they face various struggles or pain in their lives. As a licensed marriage and family counselor in Washington, he works with married couples, adults, teens, and families to reach the goals they set for themselves in their counseling sessions. But the state of Washington has decided that Brian cannot do this. According to the state, he cannot help his clients who are minors reach goals they set for ...

Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

The Biden administration is trying to mandate gender identity ideology on Christian college campuses.

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 ...

Tens of thousands of children throughout the country need loving and stable families. But the United States is currently facing a shortage of loving foster care and adoptive homes, and the nation is facing a crisis. In Oregon, several hundred children are up for adoption and desperately need someone to care for them, and yet the state is putting their needs second to politics. For Oregon, a loving and stable home isn’t enough. They’re requiring that prospective adoptive parents agree with the state’s views on radical gender ideology. They’re turning down anyone who won’t lie to a child about ...

When Dayspring Christian Learning Center is threatened, your freedom is on the line, too. When the federal government tries to force faith-based ministries and schools to violate their beliefs to receive needed funding, kids in need lose. And this time, it’s dozens of poor and minority students at Dayspring Christian Learning Center in El Cajon, California, who could be losing out on lunches they desperately need. This is a case of government officials placing ideology above the health and well-being of children—which has happened far too often in the past few years. And it’s a blatant ...
