Freedom is INDIVIDUAL. Freedom is the ability to determine your own path, make your own choices, and make your own mistakes. The government is supposed to be there to prevent your INDIVIDUAL freedom from being infringed upon. It is not the role of the government to decide what is best for your family. It is not the role of government to determine what freedoms you NEED. The freedom you NEED is the freedom you were born with: the freedom to make your own choices for your children and your family.
Did you know that many schools no longer teach Civics? Today, it has become acceptable, even popular, to promote Marxist propaganda to students in government run schools and in universities. It is no wonder that the younger generations have either lost sight of how important the Constitution is or they don’t know it all. What we must do is reintroduce America’s youth to our founding documents, the Constitution, so it continues to protect us all.
Each parent has the right to choose to raise their children according to their own family values, shape the way they see and interact with the world, set them on the path they choose and decide what is right and wrong or good and bad for them… free of unjustified, unsubstantiated mandates and government overreach.
2000 SCOTUS decision on Parent Rights:
“”It is cardinal with us that the custody, care and nurture of the child reside first in the parents, whose primary function and freedom include preparation for obligations the state can neither supply nor hinder.”
All children deserve a high quality education that is free from political ideology and private interest group agendas. All education should be based on merit and equal opportunity. Any barriers to equal opportunity in public education should be solved for all children. Equality over Equity provides for positive outcomes.
1.Title IX:
In 1972, the Title IX Educational Amendments were written to say the “No person in the United States shall, based on sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
It was written to also ensure that girls and women can fairly compete in athletics, and to ensure that they were not excluded from taking advantage of educational and extracurricular opportunities because of their sex
The Biden Administration is changing the word ‘sex’ to include sexual orientation and gender identification. This would allow students to use the restrooms and locker rooms of the gender with which they identify, share lodging rooms with those of the gender with which they identify, and compete on the sports teams of the gender with which they identify. This change opens the door to violence against women and unfair competition within the women’s sports arena.
Sexual Violence in Schools
As we recently learned through the heinous events in Loudoun County, VA where two girls at different schools were sexually assaulted inside the school by the same boy, K-12 schools are not immune to sexual violence in schools or on campus.
In a 2015 study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compiled statistics that revealed that 30 percent of female victims of sexual assault were first attacked between the ages of 11 and 17 and that 20 percent of high school-age girls have experienced dating violence.
The National High School Federation Association reports that the trend in numerous rulings in recent years, both by courts and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) indicate that such attacks often occur on school grounds or in association with school activities and that high schools and middle schools appear to be failing victims of sexual assault through inadequate investigatory procedures following reports of sexual violence in schools. As of 2015, there were 33 open OCR Title IX sexual violence investigations pending in school districts across the United States.
Women’s Sports
Title IX was originally intended to give female athletes the right to equal opportunity in sports in educational institutions that receive federal funds.
The changes to Title IX that will allow biological males to compete in women’s sports will spell the end of female athletics and take the women’s movement back 50 years to when no opportunity for pure and fair competition existed
When boys compete against girls in girls’ sports, girls will be in second place before ever competing. This is due to the physical advantages that boys and men have over girls and women.
2.Border Security
While the Biden administration’s border policy has resulted in a humanitarian disaster for thousands of migrant children, it also threatens the safety and security of American children. Our children are most vulnerable to the failed border policies that currently exist under Biden’s Administration. Our children are falling prey to fatal overdoses as dangerous drugs flow over the border and into our communities and schools. The migration crisis at the U.S. southern border extends to communities hundreds, even thousands, of miles from the border, increasing threats of terrorism. fueling prostitution and human trafficking of American children and increased gang activity in our neighborhoods and schools. As a result of relaxed border enforcement, the risk of terrorist attacks has heightened, standards of education have been lowered, classrooms are overcrowded, violence in schools has increased, there is an increased threat for the return of eradicated viruses and our healthcare systems are overtaxed.
