Parents send their children to school to be educated and protected — but what happens when a school district makes life-altering decisions about your child's identity without your knowledge or consent?

In this episode of Unmasking Government Schools, host Sheri Few sits down with Lori Gimelshteyn, Executive Director of the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN) and Board Director of Protect Kids Colorado and Parents United America, to expose how Colorado parents are fighting back against secretive DEI and gender policies — and winning.

Lori breaks down the federal Title VI investigation into Cherry Creek School District, CPAN's legal strategy, and the growing "we the people" movement empowering parents to reclaim their authority.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- Inside the federal investigation of Cherry Creek School District for its "Beyond Diversity / Transformational Equity Experience" training that seeks to "disrupt whiteness"

- How the "Voices of Color Committee" and CRT tenets categorize children as oppressor or oppressed

- The lawsuit against Colorado HB 24-1039, which codifies hiding gender transitions and banning biological pronouns

- Lawsuits defending a dean fired for questioning DEI and a father fighting his child's medical transition

- The outsized influence of teacher unions (NEA & AFT) on district policy and elections

- How CPAN's incident reporting tool, opt-out resources, and 3 new ballot initiatives are protecting girls' sports and children from irreversible procedures

Connecticut now forces parents to pass a government background check just to homeschool their own children — while 1 in 10 students in government schools experience sexual misconduct by staff. Which environment is really dangerous for kids?

Join host Sheri Few and investigative journalist Dr. Susan Berry on Unmasking Government Schools as they expose Connecticut's shocking new law requiring Department of Children and Families (DCF) background checks for every parent withdrawing a child for homeschooling or religious school — transforming one of America's most homeschool-friendly states into one of its most restrictive.

In this must-watch episode, you'll learn:

• Why the law scapegoats homeschool parents while the 28 children who died were already under DCF supervision

• The "passing the trash" scandal: 67 California educators found guilty of sexual misconduct, yet 12 still hold licenses and teach today

• The federal 1-in-10 statistic and why the U.S. Department of Education is investigating 20+ cases from 2023-24 alone

• Why only ~30% of 4th graders read at grade level while schools push indoctrination over academics

• Why 15% of children have already left government schools and how COVID sparked a historic homeschool surge

• How micro-schools and homeschool co-ops offer a flexible, affordable escape — often led by former public school teachers

If you believe parents — not bureaucrats — should direct their children's education, this episode is for you.

How did America produce generations of highly literate, self-educated citizens — without a centralized education system? And why are so many parents now choosing homeschooling and deschooling their children after watching what government schools have become?

In this episode of Unmasking Government Schools, Sheri Few sits down with Janae Daniels, former middle school teacher, homeschooling mom, independent researcher, and host of the School to Homeschool podcast, to explore the forgotten history of American education and why so many families are rediscovering time-tested methods of learning.

In this episode:

📚 How early Americans achieved extraordinary literacy before compulsory government schooling

📖 Why Janae believes vintage textbooks like the McGuffey Readers and Ray’s Arithmetic produced stronger readers, thinkers, and problem-solvers than many modern curricula

🏡 What “deschooling” really means, and why parents leaving government schools often need to rethink what learning actually looks like

🎓 How Janae’s own children flourished through self-directed learning, internships, museums, literature, and real-world experiences instead of rigid classroom routines

⚖️ Why she believes the next battle for educational freedom will center on protecting homeschooling from increasing government regulation

📖 The founding principles no longer taught: Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Mayflower Compact

🛡️ Why Higgins calls this a "spiritual battle" — and what parents must do to fight back

Are conversion therapy bans actually protecting children — or silencing the truth?

In this episode of Unmasking Government Schools, host Sheri Few sits down with Mike Stenhouse, CEO of the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity, to expose the legal and moral crisis behind conversion therapy bans — and what they really mean for parental rights and free speech.

Stenhouse makes the case that these laws don't protect minors — they enforce a narrative that denies biological truth, silences counselors, and deepens childhood trauma in already-vulnerable youth.

This episode covers:

- Why the Supreme Court's recent Title IX ruling (and Justice Clarence Thomas's words) exposes the legal fragility of gender-identity mandates

- The connection between childhood trauma — especially sexual abuse — and gender dysphoria in youth

- How state laws requiring "affirmation-only" counseling violate First Amendment rights and parental consent

- The term "dysphoric youth" and why language matters in this fight

- Mike Stenhouse's recommendation for future guest Dr. Michael Menard, whose peer-reviewed research links adverse childhood events to long-term mental health crises
