Do you know what your children and grandchildren are being taught in school? One Virginia school system’s “anti-racism” policy pressured students to see them themselves as either racist or oppressed.

When the government discriminates against foster/adoptive parents based on their religious beliefs, children are harmed. These kids need a forever home—not political ideology. Christians and the church have been key to providing resources and open arms to vulnerable children for hundreds of years. The earliest orphanages in North America were created by dedicated Christian groups, and these faithful people continue to lead the way today. Yet, some state officials now reject Christian and other religious families—forcing children to wait longer for a loving home—because they disagree with the ...

Because the threats are present, the time is urgent to continue to build the strongest team ...

School is back in session and parents need to know what’s happening in their child’s school. Are they being exposed to inappropriate materials on sexuality and gender? Do parents have the option to opt their kids out of such curriculum? Does the school have a secret policy to “transition” confused students without the knowledge or consent of their parents? Activists promoting harmful gender ideology are putting the health and innocence of children at risk. But many parents aren’t sure what do to protect their children. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom has created a short, free guide to ...

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...

If you stand with us, you help ...

Coach David Bloch has given so much to the snowboarding program at Woodstock Union High School (WUHS) in Vermont. As the founder of the program, he has invested countless hours in student athletes. But none of that mattered when Coach Bloch respectfully shared his beliefs regarding gender with two athletes—and became the latest American punished for acknowledging biological reality. When the WUHS women’s snowboarding team was scheduled to compete against a team that included a male, two student athletes were discussing the issue. Coach Bloch overheard the conversation and simply spoke to the ...
