The Narrative with Aaron Baer

Content advisory: This episode discusses sensitive topics and is not suitable for the entire family.

Join CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan once more on The Narrative, where they unpack the toughest issues of the day. Listen in as the guys break down the controversial House Bill 105, also known as "Erin's Law," which, under the guise of child sexual abuse and violence prevention, is a direct attack against parental rights and involvement in their children's education.

This episode's special guest is Monica Cline, a former comprehensive sex educator and volunteer trainer for Planned Parenthood. Her career in HIV prevention education, comprehensive sex education, and Title X ("family planning") training lasted over a decade.

Today, Monica boldly exposes the truth behind comprehensive sex education and the harm it causes our children, families, and communities. Monica’s goal is to encourage parents to “Reclaim Parenthood” and become their children’s greatest advocates and educators, which she accomplishes by equipping families with the resources and skills necessary to strengthen family trust and confidence.

There's no doubt about it: we're in the midst of a great cultural war. Our children are the first casualties on the frontlines as they're being taught to question basic biological realities, to doubt God, to judge one another based on skin color, and more.

Parents are tired of their kids being asked to sacrifice for adults. They're rising up, and righting that order.

Join CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan once again on The Narrative for Volume 3: Children First.

You'll hear from an incredible line-up of parents, investigators, and experts as they share their frontline stories of this fight for our kids, and how they're rising up.
