| State of Parents’ Rights in Washington, Guest: Kirryn Jensen, WA SB Candidate | 02 Sep 2023 | 00:22:42 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. Summery / Comments: In this episode, the focus is on a united effort to protect children's education while highlighting the critical role parents play. Parents are encouraged to access free tools, training, and community support available on parentsrightsandeducation.com, and to help boost the cause by leaving a five-star review. Host Suzanne Gallagher shares news of forthcoming events, including interactive speaking sessions and Zoom meetings tailored for parents. With the "back to school" season in mind, she emphasizes the importance of having "pre affiliates" in every school district to ensure parents have local points of contact and support. The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) is discussed in depth. It's a tool that allows parents to keep tabs on the curriculum, selectively opt out of activities, and secure their child’s privacy. Suzanne underscores the importance of parental intervention in curriculum choices and survey decisions to safeguard children's personal boundaries. A significant part of the episode also covers the hot topics of vaccine mandates and mask requirements in schools. Suzanne stresses that parents have the right to file exemption forms for their children and calls upon parents to challenge mandates that contradict their beliefs. She also speaks about the potential adverse effects of continuous mask-wearing on children's physical and emotional health. Later in the episode, listeners are treated to an insightful chat with Kirryn Jensen, a hopeful school board candidate from Washington State. She explains her reasons for running, particularly her concerns about bullying, violence, and ensuring a safe environment in schools. Kirryn also emphasizes the need for clear communication between school boards and communities and the necessity for accountability. The episode concludes with a rousing call to action, urging listeners to join the movement and vocalize their concerns. The end goal? To solidify parents' rights and ensure a safe, nurturing learning atmosphere for every child. This episode is tailored to resonate with parents with a conservative perspective and a 10th-grade education level.

| What is CRT? Guest: Allen Sarvians, Maine Affiliate | 26 Aug 2023 | 00:32:45 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. In this podcast episode, hosts Suzanne Gallgaher and Allen Sarvinas discuss recent legislative developments and local policies related to education in California and North Carolina. They address various bills and policies, focusing on issues like parents' rights, transgender and gender expansive policies, and informed consent for minors. In California, they discuss Senate Bill 596, which passed in May and aims to address threats, assaults, and disrespectful behavior towards school employees. They emphasize the importance of respectful communication while also highlighting concerns about the broad language of the bill and its potential impact on parents' rights to communicate with school officials. Moving on to North Carolina, they cover a bill that aimed to ban gender-affirming treatments for minors. The bill was initially vetoed by the governor but later overridden by the legislature. They mention the ongoing debate around this issue and the potential legal challenges from LGBTQ rights advocates. The conversation shifts to a local policy in Maine that deals with transgender and gender expansive students. They highlight the expansion of privileged communications, allowing teachers and others to keep secrets from parents. They discuss the importance of parents' rights and due process, and they urge parents to get involved with their school boards to protect these rights. Throughout the episode, they stress the need for parents and concerned citizens to engage with their local school boards, communicate their viewpoints, and rally for parents' rights. They also emphasize the significance of having a grassroots support group like Parents' Rights in Education to advocate for parental involvement and push back against policies that could undermine parents' rights. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to reach out to their school boards, engage in local advocacy, and stand up for parents' rights in education. DATE:Wednesday, September 6 TIME: 6:00pm LOCATION: Mount Ararat High School, 68 Eagles Way, Topsham, Maine 04086 Topsham School Board Contact Details Cited in Maine lawsuit Goldwater/Lavigne v Great Bay School District after a student was provided a chest suppression device (CHEST BINDER) w/o parental consent. The unconstitutional policy violates parent’s fundamental right to guide the upbringing of their child. Last week, the district’s board attorneys provided legal opinion stating the policy does not address parental notification, while providing sample verbiage to roll into the policy. The District Superintendent is not a judge, and parents require due process. Maine PRE demands full application of parents’ fundamental rights, evidence of actual and substantive risk to the child by notifying the parents, at which point mandatory reporting applies.

| Empowering Parents: Unveiling Legislation Changes and Decoding Comprehensive Sexual Education | 05 Aug 2023 | 00:19:44 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. Welcome to another episode of Parents' Rights in Education with your host, Suzanne Gallagher. In our first segment, we're touching base with the state of education around the country. Highlighted events include The Great Northwest Awakening and our regular Zoom calls and trainings - don't miss out! Visit our website for more details. We are also tracking critical legislation like Virginia's SB 1072, aiming to better address bullying, and Texas' controversial SB 14, which deals with youths' access to transgender medical treatment. In organizational updates, we've introduced a new feature to select your affiliate group and celebrate the addition of 5 new affiliate leaders in Oregon and Washington. Returning to our second segment, we've got good news - our movement is making strides! In 2022, 85 parents’ rights bills were introduced across 26 states, while 2023 has already seen 62 bills in 24 states. All of these efforts aim to increase parental involvement and transparency in education. This shows we're making an impact and will continue fighting for parents’ rights. In our final segment, we delve into a topic of much debate - Comprehensive Sexual Education. Promoted as an inclusive and age-appropriate approach, it is being seen by many as explicit and incentivizing early sexual activity. Organizations like Planned Parenthood, the WHO, and the ACLU are backing this. As an example, programs like EXCLAIM! suggest that young people need varied sexual experiences for their health. This raises concerns about parental involvement and when a child should learn about sexual activity. As we wrap up, remember that joining our cause ensures you have a say in your child's education. Become a member today and join the fight for parents’ rights in education. Until next time, stay strong and engaged. Thank you for tuning in.

| BOOK BANNING...NO! PARENT SELECTION, YES! | 26 Jul 2023 | 00:15:34 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. Civil Rights Claim Signals Overreach by Biden Admin "As we have stated numerous times, removal of controversial offensive literature from school libraries is not only a right, but an obligation of school boards. Local boards are elected to represent the values of their constituents. They have the power to determine what curriculums are appropriate for their districts. It is not "banning" to select the most appropriate books for the minor children and families they serve. Parents are free to choose to purchase controversial materials for their children. Clearly, this is a blatant illegal move by the Biden administration to steal the rights of school boards to represent parents in their districts!"

The change honors the life and legacy of Walter Cole, who dazzled people on stage for five decades as Darcelle. “By renaming O’Bryant Square to Darcelle Plaza, we send a resounding message of support and recognition to the LGBTQI+ community, reminding them that they are valued, and they are cherished members of our Portland family,” said City Commissioner Dan Ryan. Darcelle was the oldest working drag queen until her death this March at the age of 92. PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – The bill that sparked the longest Oregon Senate walkout in state history were quietly signed by Gov. Tina Kotek on Thursday, officials say. The governor’s office confirmed HB 2002 – was signed into law and will receive a ceremonial signing at a later date. Provides Dangerous Gender Affirming Counseling and Treatments Without Parents’ Knowledge or Consent at Taxpayer Expense! The law guarantees Oregonians ages 15 or older can access reproductive health care, including abortion. It also allows people of the same age to access care without parental permission in some cases and protects healthcare providers from out-of-state investigations and legal action. The bill also backs more gender-affirming procedures in insurance coverage — including facial feminization surgery and hair removal treatments — and implements a fine of up to $6,250 and a prison sentence of up to 364 days for anyone who interferes with health care facilities. • Eliminates any age of consent requirements for Gender-affirming treatment and procedures. Republicans returned to the Senate floor June 15 after a multi-week walkout that stalled dozens of bills and left at least nine Republican and one Independent senator ineligible for re-election under the voter-approved Measure 113.

| SCHOOL BOARD POWER, IT STARTS HERE. | 09 May 2023 | 00:17:23 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. We are in the last week of campaigning for school board positions in the state of Oregon. We are busy with endorsements and GOTV efforts right now. Those who have never been involved in the election process are involved. They are astounded how much work it is, and how mean the other side can be. Everything from stealing or destroying campaign signs to outright slander applies to these contests. Candidates have called me saying they want to die, or I never would have done this had I known… these are folks who vowed they would stand up for their convictions, and nothing could deter them. Please know that a political race is never personal. It sure feels personal because you values are under attack, but those attacks are because of your stand, not you personally. What does it mean to take a stand. For me that means to decide exactly when enough is enough, and where will I draw the line. It is about principle, not compromises. The Left has no intention of stopping until they have full control. When you open the door to compromise, it is the beginning of a slippery slope to loss of individual freedom and rights. You might be wondering why this seems to be a new revelation… Young parents are just learning about the School Board. They weren’t aware of the policy changes in just the last 5-10 years taking away their rights and mandating curriculum without their input. Maybe some earlier board members did not anticipate the radical implications to their decisions. My belief is the role of education has been stretched out of control, to the point we no longer have educational institutions. It’s time to restore the proper role of education, and get the ball rolling at the local level. School Boards can do it by passing policies that reflect the wishes of the parents, but parents have to speak up and ask!

| TUCKER SAYS "NO DEBATE." IT ENDS HERE! | 01 May 2023 | 00:24:49 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. It's no surprise that K-12 public schools now are social service agencies instead of educational institutions and have nearly succeeded in controlling every aspect of our children’s lives. Stop messing with our kids! It ends here. There’s one more factor evident here. What we are seeing now is a departure from the original Constitutional form of government. The framers understood true freedom, and the nature of man. They devised a plan which provided for strict limits to the role of government, and the rest was up to the individual to either succeed in life or fail on his own terms. It is NOT the proper role of government to take care of individual citizens from birth to death. Providing food, shelter and health care is not the proper role of government. Unfortunately, our legislators have acquiesced to these radical distortions and we are now paying the consequences.

| K-12 SCHOOLS MESSING WITH OUR KIDS? IT ENDS HERE! | 11 Apr 2023 | 00:12:16 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. It ends here! Say what? What ends here? The stealing of parents rights. It has to stop! Messing with our kids while they are in school is not acceptable. Stop messing with our kids! If it doesn’t stop, the government will eventually achieve complete and total control of our children. Don’t think it can happen? You bet it can. History is full of examples. Ask your elders if they remember WWII. My grandparents immigrated to the US from Germany after WWI. My dad served in the Army Air Force in WWII. I remember at age 10 listening to my grandmother’s cousin talk about the Nazis storming into her home during the war. The only way we are going to stop it is IF we never give up. And I mean NEVER! I know, because I did give up, more than once. I discovered the reality of the government called public school in the early 90’s when our three children were in grade and Middle school. The school board made it clear, they did not have anything to do with curriculum. Welcome to the bureaucratic shuffle! So I gave up, because of that AND the lack of interest by most people. They didn’t seem to care. Decided to start an art and interior design business. Later, I ran for the Oregon House of Representatives. Lost by a handful of votes. Quit agin. Ran again for Senate, lost. Quit again. Do you see the pattern? Losing an election is not really quitting. Parents’ Rights In Education has always been the issue for me. When I took the role of Executive Director in 2018, I determined we can never give up. There are no election dates related to our rights. No one can put a hard stop on this cause. Parents rights are natural inalienable rights which should be protected, not taken away by the government. It ends here!

| STOP VIOLENCE and RADICAL TRANS ACTIVISM IN K-12 SCHOOLS! | 04 Apr 2023 | 00:18:09 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. TENNESSEE SHOOTING: NASHVILLE by Suzanne Gallagher, Parents’ Rights In Education Parents Rights In Education (PRE) is opposed to the teaching and promotion of Gender Identity beginning in kindergarten. Unfortunately, the Nashville, Tennessee school shooting this week is an outgrowth of the activism now present in most public schools across the country. The Tennessee shooter, a confused young adult female, was in counseling. According to Nashville’s chief of police, John Drake, investigators believed the shooting stemmed from “some resentment” the suspect harbored “for having to go to that school” as a younger person. We want to know what advice she was getting. School counselors and psychologists today, encourage parents to begin social transitioning in kindergarten. Parents are bombarded with the message their children should be encouraged to explore their “real identity.” I recently received a call from a concerned a father whose five year-old son was seen by the Philomath, Oregon grade school psychologist, who recommended Dad consider “social transitioning.” Although Dad and son discussed biological reality, his son was influenced by female siblings to wear long hair and feminine clothing. Dad needed to be reminded he is the father, and has the right to mentor his son. What if he had not contacted PRE? What seemed like an effort to protect individuals struggling with “gender dysphoria,” has rapidly developed into a highly volatile political issue, and minor children are the target. Parents’ rights to direct the education of their minor children, and manage their healthcare decisions, have been stolen and sacrificed on the altar of Gender Identity Rights. These are pseudo “rights” fabricated out of a false premise. Humans cannot medically change their sex. The average voter is unaware of the purposeful solicitation and recruitment of minors by public school staff and volunteers to change their sex. Students are inundated with messages about their “gender identity” rights daily. National Education Association member teachers wear badges encouraging students to seek them out for one-on-one counseling about sexuality and gender identity. In addition, LGBTQIA++ activist teachers adorn their classrooms with Gay Pride, Transgender, and Black Lives Matter political flags and posters. Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Clubs, a project of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network, are now in K-12 schools. GSA Network is a political organization using local public school districts as distribution centers for their trans political agenda to "leverage the collective power of thousands of trans and queer young people in the United States who connect with us through our network.” If you need assistance with a situation in your area, please fill out our free consultation form. | |||

| MINNESOTA TO BAN CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS, JEWS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHING | 14 Feb 2023 | 00:16:12 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. MINNESOTA TO BAN CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS, JEWS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHING “We have lots of parents who are upset by this sort of thing in schools already,” said Doug Seaton, president of Minnesota’s Upper Midwest Law Center, in an interview. “They’re going to be even more upset with how their teachers are going to be licensed. Their teachers are going to have to be faced with hiding their beliefs or getting denied [for a state teaching license].” Seaton said it was accurate to describe the nearly finalized regulations as communicating: “Christians, Muslims, and Jews need not apply for Minnesota teaching jobs.” That is unconstitutional, he said, so UMLC plans to sue once the changes go into effect. The state agency that composed the changes disputed they would effectively ban religious Americans from teaching in Minnesota schools through a spokeswoman on Wednesday. The spokeswoman did not respond to a follow-up asking how Christians, Jews, and Muslims could adhere to their faith while complying with the licensing requirements that all new teachers publicly reject their faiths’ declaration that God has created only two sexes, male and female.

NEW, Parents' Rights In Education website Many activists are submitting Parents’ Bills of Rights to their legislatures. In most cases, these are redundant and the politicians are doing it for publicity. We don’t need to pass a Parents’ Bill of Rights! The internet is full of US, state, and local statutes supporting your parental rights. Our US constitution already covers it. And if you check into your state law, you will find multiple statutes allowing for parents to access curriculums and weigh in on policy decisions at the school board level. The US Supreme Court ruled five times in favor of parental rights, overturning state control of children. “The child is not the mere creature of the state... the state of Oregon, by forcing parents to place their children in public school] unreasonably interfere[d] with the liberty of parents and guardians to direct the upbringing of their children under their control.” -Pierce v. Society of Sisters What we are seeing today is blatant verbal and discriminatory attacks on certain people groups based on sex (gender, sexual orientation- Heterosexuals), race (skin color, white is a color), religion (Christian, Muslim, Jewish). These are the very issues Progressives are claiming they support, however they are practicing discrimination themselves!"

| DEFENDING PARENT'S RIGHTS: GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY, NOT IN HUDSON WISCONSIN! | 27 Jan 2023 | 00:22:18 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. DEFENDING PARENT'S RIGHTS: GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY, NOT IN HUDSON WISCONSIN! Psychotherapy (sometimes called "talk therapy") is a term for a variety of treatment techniques that aim to help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behavior. Most psychotherapy takes place with a licensed, trained mental health professional and a patient meeting one-on-one or with other patients in a group setting. Psychoeducational groups are led by a therapist who takes on the role of a teacher and trainer (Brown, 2018). This contrasts with process-oriented groups, where the therapist takes a background role as a facilitator of the group experience. Psychoeducational groups are a form of education-based group therapy. Rather than focusing on individual client relationships, psychoeducational groups focus on providing education, training, and support. Normally thee kinds of groups are led by licensed, trained mental health professionals. The English teachers are not trained sufficiently to facilitate this project. 2.The books listed are sensitive and controversial, introducing students to subjects and risky behaviors, which in many cases students may not have known about until reading one of these books, participating in the group discussion, or reading the research-based, news-style article produced by fellow 9th graders. Is the school ready to take legal responsibility for decisions students make as a result of introducing them to these themes, including “violence, depression, racism, sexuality, substance abuse, rape, and language?” When teaching minors to engage in risky behavior of any kind, the answer to the question is, “age appropriateness depends on the child, and the context of the instruction. 3.Students are not capable of dealing with adult level decision making at this age. We believe the lack of cognitive and developmental maturity levels of young people have been grossly overlooked by educators and curriculum authors. Scientific findings regarding mental and emotional maturity are stunning. Conservative estimates indicate maturity at age 25. This is well known, throughout education, psychotherapy, and mental health circles. Sandra Aamodt, neuroscientist and co-author of the book, Welcome to Your Child's Brain. “Neuroscientists have found the brain scans show clearly that the brain is not fully finished developing until about age 25. The changes that happen between 18 and 25 are a continuation of the process that starts around puberty, and 18 year olds are about halfway through that process. Their prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed. That's the part of the brain that helps you to inhibit impulses and to plan and organize your behavior to reach a goal.” “We see that motor control, meaning the myelination of the motor pathways, occurs around 15 on average. Then the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, responsible for cognitive control and executive function, is pretty much myelinated by 25,” she says. “But then you start talking about emotions—and everyone realizes the impact of emotions on cognitive cont If you need assistance with a situation in your area, please fill out our free consultation form. | |||

| Parents DO Have Rights: Education Is a Political Battleground! | 06 Dec 2022 | 00:24:47 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. The following is adapted from remarks delivered on November 3, 2022, at a Hillsdale College reception in Santa Clara, California. The political battle over this issue is fraught with dishonesty. Any criticism of public education is immediately styled as a criticism of teachers. But as the numbers show, the public education system works to the detriment of teachers and for the benefit of bureaucrats. The teachers unions themselves, some of the largest of the public employee unions, claim to be defending teachers and children. That cannot be more than half true, given that they are defending an administrative system that has grown by leaps and bounds while the number of teachers has grown very little. Worse even than this is the tendency the system sets in all of us. Bureaucracy is a set of processes, a series of prescribed steps not unlike instructions for assembling a toy. First this happens, then that happens, and then the next thing. The processes proceed according to rules. It is a profession unto itself to gain competence in navigating these rules, but nobody is really competent. Today we tend too much to think that this kind of process is the only thing that can give legitimacy to something. A history curriculum is adopted, not because it gives a true account of the unchangeable things that have already happened, but because it has survived a process. The process is dominated by “stakeholders”—mostly people who have a financial or political interest in what is taught. They are mostly not teachers or scholars If you need assistance with a situation in your area, please fill out our free consultation form. | |||

| Focus on Elections: More Than Prayer and a Vote! | 07 Nov 2022 | 00:19:42 | |
Tell us whatcha' think! Send a text to us, here! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our podcast. More Than Prayer and A Vote I must address the obvious up front. it may be construed by some that my story is just a reflection of a “sour grapes” attitude, because the outcome of my electoral race was a loss. if i had won, would the message be any less necessary? uh...no! True, the election was a grand disappointment. however, i will admit and others concur that my personal life is much better because i did not win. if that sounds selfish, it is. Serving in the legislature is no picnic. i might have driven my fellow legislators crazy with my get to it attitude and efficient use of time and extreme dislike for rambling verbiage. i know that the media is upset as they would have loved attacking me as they generally do with politicians of integrity and conviction to moral principles. Nonetheless, my loss for a house seat was critical. it brought us closer to losing the majority. it was the house of Representatives who kept many pieces of liberal legislation from making their way to the governor’s desk and becoming law. Final straw: During the next election cycle we did lose it, all of it! Alas, in 2007 all three branches of the legislature were controlled by the liberals. The majority rules and they certainly did. They revealed their real agenda by passing domestic partnership laws overriding the initiative passed by the voters in 2004 to protect traditional marriage. They continued to move oregon further into socialism threatening the middle class, while not enforcing laws to report and arrest illegal immigrants jeopardizing the basic protection of citizenship and liberty. We lost everything because the other side slowly and persistently took control. Where were you? god’s people have been asleep at the switch when it comes to elections. We are not really committed to winning, unless you consider football. no, that doesn’t count when future lives are at stake! Some very good people have been let down, people we should be helping and supporting. We are being intimidated and run out of town by those who are committed to winning; secularist liberals! Apathy is not just an Oregon phenomenon. it is common knowledge within national policy and legal organizations that god’s people have lost much of their “chutzpah” when it comes to engaging the culture and getting involved in defining the laws that govern them, er...us. About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the university of edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. This is serious. it is happening, but we can and we must stop this trend toward socialism and a g If you need assistance with a situation in your area, please fill out our free consultation form. | |||
