New Florida Law Prompts Avalanche of Liberal Ire and Lies

It seems that liberals never let the truth get in the way of what they consider to be a good narrative, but rather, they twist it into a fabric of lies and deceit. Such is the case with Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill that received final passage in the Florida Senate on March 8 and which Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law on March 28.

The bill passed the Florida Senate by a vote of 21-17 and by a margin of 69-47 last month in Florida's House of Representatives. The legislation is a win not only for Florida parents, but provides an example for parents across the country who have been fighting to wrest the education of their children from the clutches of public-school administrators and teachers' unions.

The Transgender Movement: An Increasingly Epic Tragedy

Most Americans are aware that transgender ideology has taken a firm and tragic hold on our nation's institutions, and nowhere more deleteriously than in the schools. This destructive agenda was first introduced at the university level and descended into high school and middle school classrooms before victimizing our youngest, most vulnerable children in the elementary grades.

As a consequence of all this indoctrination, sex reassignment drugs and surgeries on the young have been rising for the past dozen years. The explosion in gender dysphoria, particularly among girls, is unlike anything that has ever been seen before, stoked in the schools by disingenuous counselors and therapists who won't question it when a pubescent or even prepubescent child asserts that she is really "a boy" or that he is really "a girl." Rather, these kids are affirmed in their confusion by adult so-called "professionals," who escalate the process of emotional and even physical transition before parents have a clue as to what is happening.

Charter Schools: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Since the first charter school opened in 1992 in St. Paul, MN, charters have proliferated throughout the nation. They are typically viewed as "school choice" options, and in some cases, may provide an academic improvement over traditional public schooling. However, charters are hardly a panacea for parents seeking positive educational alternatives for their children.

The concept of charter schools dates back to the 1970s when New England Educator Ray Budde came up with the progressive notion that teachers should set up contracts or "charters" with local school boards to discover and implement new approaches to education. In the 1980s, former American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Albert Shanker helped move this concept along. "With his support," Public Charter Schools Insider recounts, "schools began to develop a test of 'schools within schools' programs or 'charters' in Philadelphia," and the new method of education began catching on.
