How do they connect with libraries? The ALA and your local library connection is something all parents should check out. We cover this and more on this week’s podcast. Join us! 

Today, we’re discussing the laws surrounding the Obscenity Exceptions that actually allow school libraries to provide sexually stimulating reading materials to minors. How did this begin? Could it have been planned a long time ago? Join in to find out!

Today we continue on the topic of the Harris-Biden Title IX rewrite, covering some of the frequently asked questions provided by the curriculum publisher, "etr.".

This website is dangerous as it lays out all of this information for the general public to read as if this Title IX overreach is already established law. Parents, if you have a worldview that you value, especially Christianity, be sure to opt your kids out of any lessons from this publisher.

This episode covers HOW Title IX will impact your children in the federally funded K-12 schools in terms of curriculum, compliance and data collection. This episode is a little longer than others, but understanding this information is highly consequential for the protections needed by families that value a Christian worldview.
