The Biden White House has bragged about working with Big Tech to silence misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, mentioning a “disinformation dozen” people. On Tuesday, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield expanded the misinformation alarm from the “disinformation dozen” to “conservative news outlets.” Meanwhile, YouTube had deleted a video that mentioned the COVID-19 vaccine — but focused on Washington, D.C.’s new legislation that threatens parental rights.
On Friday, Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins interviewed Mary Holland, president and general counsel of Children’s Health Defense. While Holland and her organization oppose many vaccines, she focused on the issue of parental rights in her interview with Perkins. On Monday, YouTube removed the video for “medical misinformation.” FRC appealed the decision that very day, and on Tuesday, YouTube rejected the appeal. Perkins had interviewed Holland on Washington Watch, a program broadcast on nearly 800 Christian radio stations as well as Christian TV.
“Big tech is teaming up with big government to crack down on speech that they dislike. I am deeply troubled by the cabal that is being formed between big tech and big government,” Perkins said in a statement on Thursday. “Big tech has shown itself hostile to conservative views, but now tech giants like YouTube are allowing social media to be weaponized by the Left to eliminate all counter views. This is indeed chilling.”
“While YouTube claims the interview with Mary Holland contained medical misinformation, there was no discussion whatsoever of medical advice,” Perkins argued. “The substance of the interview was focused on parental rights, consent, and notification. These days, apparently anything is a target if it remotely mentions a vaccine and doesn’t carry the registered trademark of the CDC. There are no open discussions allowed if Biden administration talking points are not followed.”
FRC published a transcript of the interview and shared the interview on Rumble, YouTube’s competitor. Perkins began the segment by announcing that the Parental Rights Foundation and Children’s Health Defense had filed a lawsuit against Washington, D.C., arguing that the D.C. Minor Consent for Vaccinations Amendment of 2020 is unconstitutional. The amendment allows minors between the ages of 11 and 18 to obtain vaccinations without parental knowledge or consent if the health care provider believes the minor is capable of meeting the informed consent standard.
Holland described the law as “very dangerous,” arguing that “parents won’t know what vaccines their children get.” She warned about the “active concealment required by this law that the parents who filed a religious exemption will not know that their children got vaccines.”
Perkins emphasized the threat to parental rights. “This would appear to me, as you’ve described it, Mary, intentionally designed to deceive parents,” he said. He noted that “there have been some health complications for some” who got the COVID-19 vaccines and he added, “a parent doesn’t know and all of a sudden their child could be deathly ill and they don’t know why.”
Holland noted that there have been over 9,000 reported deaths and more than 400,000 reported injuries from vaccine complications. The Children’s Health Defense website cites the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) for these numbers, which appear to include every recorded vaccine, not just COVID-19.
“The COVID shots, in particular, are very serious medical intervention. But every vaccine, like every drug, carries potential benefits and potential risks. That’s why parents have to play a role in these decisions,” Holland argued. “These are minors. It is inconceivable to me that an 11-year-old can adequately research and understand the potential benefits risks of a COVID shot. This is nonsense.”
In what may be her most controversial statement during the interview, Holland suggested that children might die as a result of the law.
“Your child could die from getting four COVID shots through a school,” she suggested. If the school asks the kid to get the shot and the child says, “Oh, yeah, give me the shot, sure, so our class can get the pizza party,” the parents would not know. “Then the mom or the dad take the kid to get to the COVID shot. We don’t know what that would do. It might be within a short period of time.”
Perkins then zeroed in on another pernicious aspect of the law: that the health provider would “bill the parents’ health insurer without them even knowing what the service provided was.”
Holland’s claim that kids might die from four vaccine shots may be hyperbolic, and she did not explicitly cite VAERS for the 9,000 number during the interview, but the segment clearly focused on parental rights, not fear-mongering over the COVID-19 vaccine or spreading misinformation about it.
Furthermore, children are extremely unlikely to contract COVID-19 and they are even less likely to develop serious illnesses from the disease. It makes very little sense to push this particular vaccine on them, given their low susceptibility.
Recent news from the Biden White House makes YouTube’s action on this video seem rather fishy. FRC, in particular, has faced demonization from the Left. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) put FRC on a “hate map” with the Ku Klux Klan. A deranged man used this map to target FRC, opening fire in the building and aiming to kill everyone there and place a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich by his victims’ heads. The SPLC condemned the attack, but it kept FRC on that list under false pretenses.
Perkins did not shy away from connecting the dots to the White House.
“Americans need to wake up and realize that the Biden administration, like totalitarian governments in China, Russia and elsewhere are using COVID to restrict the fundamental freedoms of the citizens and it will not stop here,” the FRC president warned.

The Hasbro toy company is telling employees that their little kids are racist.
And not just little kids either. Kids start to become racist at three months, the company’s mandatory Critical Race Theory training avers. By four years old, the training suggests, they’re ready to join the Ku Klux Klan.
The revelations are in the latest insider video divulged by Project Veritas — thanks to a conscientious contractor who was forced to undergo the brain-washing program.
Indoctrinate Kids
The CRT “expert” in this case is Katie Ishizuka, the co-founder of an outfit called The Conscious Kid. She’s pushing the daffy idea that two-year-olds are already becoming racists, packaging engineer David Johnson told Project Veritas chief James O’Keefe.
Americans need to know just what the globe-straddling toy company is doing, Johnson said.
“They want to introduce children into racial bias at an early age before they’re really able to understand what race and racism is,” he added:
I think the end goal for ‘Conscious Kid’ is to make sure that Hasbro is going to use their lens and that Hasbro is going to push their principles through all levels of their product marketing and packaging.
A CRT video features Ishizuka making unbelievably absurd claims.
“By three to six months, babies are beginning to notice and already express preference by race,” she says.
If true, then perhaps “preference by race” is instinctual, but at any rate, racist toddlers are running thither and yon across the fruited plain. “[Kids] as young as two are already using race to reason about people’s behaviors. We may see this play out in daycare or on the playground — and how kids are starting to choose or exclude playmates and friends,” she says.
By ages three and four, the problem worsens:
By age three, children are already starting to apply stereotypes, and research shows that they also may use racist language intentionally at this age. White children at this age may report explicit or overt negative attitudes towards people of color.… By age four, kids are showing a strong and consistent pro-white, anti-black bias.
At age five, kids have become mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging goons ready to burn crosses:
At the age of five, children show many of the same racial attitudes held by adults — children are really sensitive to the status of different racial groups in our society and show a high-status bias towards white people, which is the socially privileged group in our society. White children show pro-white bias at this age.
Understandably, Johnson is aghast. “[It’s] absolutely absurd to just state categorically that at five years old, your children are as racist as the adults, which is implying that the parents are also racist in some manner,” he told O’Keefe:
I just think it’s absurd. I don’t know how they don’t see it as discriminatory to group an entire race of people. Like how they explain that the white children have this particular bias against black people.
Hasbro’s personnel chief, PV reported, thinks the training is just what kids need. “If we think we can influence the social good, that’s the role we think we ought to play as part of our company,” he said.
One of Hasbro’s most famous and beloved toys is G.I. Joe, “America’s Movable Fighting Man,” which the company introduced in 1964.
The company has not said when it will introduce a “transgender” G.I. Joe to stay abreast with the times — and Joe Biden’s order to recruit “transgenders” for the military.
Other Woke Companies
Hasbro, of course, isn’t the only major American corporation that has surrendered to the radical Left.
As The New American reported in early July, citing City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, Raytheon is brainwashing its employees with anti-white CRT propaganda that includes creating groups for “marginalized” employees to join.
Raytheon’s program is so thorough it actually instructs whites what they can say — and what not to say — to black people. The company expected whites to “financially and verbally support pro-POC movements and POC-owned businesses.”
Coca-Cola canceled its anti-white CRT training after it was exposed. That program offered a 10-point list of items so employees could be “less white.” They included “be less oppressive” and “be less arrogant,” along with “be less certain” and “be more humble.”
Coke also wanted employees to “break with white solidarity.”

Middle school LGBT indoctrination causes a sister and brother to BOTH declare themselves to be “transgender.” Their parents are livid. MassResistance helps community fight back!
School kept parents in the dark - until an honest teacher informed them.
Parents found out that teachers had re-named their daughter "Raymond" and had given her "awards" for her transgender behavior.
In our previous post we described the stomach-turning “transgender” indoctrination that children at Baird Middle School in Ludlow, Massachusetts were being put through. It was a coordinated effort by the librarian, guidance counselors, and teaching staff – and fully supported by the Principal, Superintendent, and even the Ludlow School Board. Sadly, it was successful with several of the children, particularly those who were especially vulnerable because of emotional problems or a troubled home life.
How bad was it? On Feb. 28, 2021, a 12-year old girl at Baird Middle School sent this email to several teachers and other staff members. (Read it carefully…)
Hello everyone,
If you are reading this you are either my teacher or guidance counselor. I have an announcement to make and I trust you guys with this information. I am genderqueer. Basically, it means I use any pronouns (other than it/its). This also means I have a name change. My new name will be Raymond, Please call me by that name. If you deadname me or use any pronouns I am not comfortable with I will politely tell you. I am telling you this because I feel like I can trust you. A list of pronouns you can use are: she/her he/him they/them fae/faer ae/aer ve/ver xe/xem ze/zir. I have added a link so you can look at how to say them. Please only use the ones I have listed and not the other ons. I do not like them.
Thank you for your time, Raymond [Last name]
Here’s what the email looked like as the school staff received it:
What 12-year-old girl writes like that? Or uses bizarre terms like “genderqueer,” “deadname,” or that absurd list of “pronouns” (especially to describe herself)? There can be no question that some LGBT-activist adult in the school was heavily coaching her. And they were all clearly keeping this from her parents.
But it was worse than that. Several weeks earlier her 13-year-old brother, also a student at Baird, decided that he was “really” a girl - the school had been calling him by a girl’s name. The school administration purposefully kept all this information from their parents.
It finally gets exposed!
In our earlier posts we described Bonnie, a principled Social Studies teacher at Baird who prioritizes the well-being of students over any adult agendas. Bonnie raised the alarm over the sexually graphic and explicit books being given to the children to read.
When Bonnie saw what was going on with the brother and sister, she was very upset that the parents weren’t being informed. So she called them to let them know, which they greatly appreciated. They were livid that the school officials were hiding this from them. Bonnie – who grew up in Ludlow and knows many people in the community – also got in touch with other Baird parents and let them know what was happening.
MassResistance gets involved!
Over the previous several months, a parents’ group had formed in Ludlow in reaction to the sexually explicit books. On several occasions, they had gone to School Board meetings to testify but were generally ignored by the Board members and harassed by local leftists. Following this “gender transition” news, the group gained strength. The parents of the two children (mentioned above) became active members. Now the group needed to take action.
Finally, in late March, several members of the group asked MassResistance to get involved, and we jumped right in. We held regular meetings with them. We encouraged them to fight even harder - and not be discouraged.
Among other things, MassResistance put together a strong, informative flyer for the parents to distribute all over town. The flyer described exactly what was going on and who was doing it. It gave the contact information for the School Board. We demanded that the perpetrators be fired!
MassResistance put together a strong flyer, and parents leafletted the town with it. The outrage spread quickly!
Even though the COVID rules allowed the schools to be “remote” and the School Board to hold only closed Zoom meetings instead of allowing the public to show up, the school officials were feeling the heat from the community. As people in town became aware of the horrors in their middle school, they became quite angry. We helped the parents’ group keep up the relentless pressure!
The parents meet with the Superintendent – and MassResistance attends!
The parents of the two “transgender” children kept asking for a meeting with the Principal but continued to be rebuffed. But they were persistent. Finally, in mid-April, the Superintendent agreed to meet with them – via Zoom.
The parents asked Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, to join them at the meeting. That choice worked out well for them.
At the meeting, the Superintendent brought a school “compliance” expert. She brought up the Massachusetts Department of Education’s official policies on gender identity. She informed the parents, very matter-of-factly, that these describe very clearly how schools should deal with those issues. Everything the schools are doing, she explained, including keeping the information from parents if the student wishes, is in line with that document.
Then Camenker replied. He said he is very familiar with that document. He informed her that he was at the meeting back in 2013 when the State Board of Education formally approved it.
See these MassResistance reports (and video) from 2013:
Camenker informed her that the “gender identity” policy document is simply a guide for schools. It is not state law or even a regulation. School districts have no legal obligation to follow any of it. And in fact, he said, it was extremely controversial when the State Board of Education approved it. Moreover, Camenker told the Superintendent, the whole concept of “gender identity” is medical quackery and a lunatic political ideology. The Superintendent said, “Well, that’s your opinion.” Camenker replied, “No, that’s fact.”
The meeting ended with the parents demanding that the schools stop calling their children by any names but their given names and that no one be allowed to discuss any “gender identity” subject with them whatsoever. The Superintendent was clearly agitated and did not respond one way or the other. That was a big step down from his arrogance at the beginning of the meeting, (when he declared he could do what he wanted since the law “allowed” it).
the arrogant attitude (that he could do what he wanted since the law “allowed” it) he had when the meeting began.
A victory - the librarian resigns!
With MassResistance’s help and guidance, the parents continued to leaflet the town and pound away at the school officials.
A few weeks later it was revealed that the weird, cross-dressing librarian who had instigated so much trouble had handed in her resignation. It was clear that the pressure from across town was having an effect on the school.
This was definitely a huge victory. But the graphic sexually explicit books and horrible transgender propaganda was an ongoing problem in the school – and still had to be stopped.
There was more controversy – and vicious battling – to come. We will report on that in our next installment.
Teachers at Baird Middle School put together this "LGBT Pride" wall as a message to the students.
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
Transgender indoctrination begins: Notice on classroom door from librarian and two other staff members instructs kids to have "respect and tolerance" for the LGBT agenda.
The insane idea of “transgenderism” – that a person was “born as the wrong body” and therefore must “change” it – is now being foisted on middle school students (ages 11-13). What is going on? How does this happen? What you are about to read is ghastly. But it is now frighteningly common across America.
As we described in previous sections, in late 2019 and early 2020 the Baird Middle School in Ludlow, MA, became a center of controversy when a teacher (and some parents) exposed the graphic sexual, homosexual, and transgender themed books in the library and classrooms. This was primarily the handiwork of the librarian (a weird cross-dressing woman) and her many allies on the staff. It was supported by the Principal, the Superintendent, and the School Board.
The Baird Middle School librarian (at right).
Parents were very upset. But little did they know that this was just the beginning.
The gruesome “transgender lessons”
The COVID shutdowns kept the kids out of school for much of 2020. But late in the year the kids began coming back for a few days a week in shifts (which often changed). Teachers (and also guidance counselors) took advantage of that disruption to introduce radical “transgender” ideas to the kids.
Because of the changing COVID schedules, many of the kids began spending a lot of time in the library. According to several sources, the librarian often held “one-on-one” book talks with certain children. They were given special books to read and even suggestions of transgender-themed YouTube videos to watch. As one teacher pointed out, many of these are kids from troubled homes and were easy prey for such messages. The librarian also put up a prominent gay / transgender “safe space” sign outside the library door and (we were told) “unisex” signs on the boys’ and girls’ restrooms.
Sign on the library door: "This is a safe and inclusive space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students and their allies."
Teachers in the school, along with students, were instructed not to use the terms “boys” and “girls” because they were too gender-specific. A list of “alternatives” was posted with acceptable terms that could be used instead. (It was not universally supported; one teacher there resigned over this.)
It went even farther. In their classrooms children were being told to decide their “preferred pronouns” (“him” or “her” – or something else!). One can imagine the psychological confusion that this bizarre concept brings to young minds. It is right out of lunatic “queer theory” and educators everywhere are buying into it.
Parents also discovered that some children were being persuaded by school staff, including guidance counselors, that they are truly “transgender.” For example, one girl said that because she likes doing some “boys” things like fishing, she was told that probably she really is a boy.
Assigning kids opposite-sex first names!
As children’s confusion grew, teachers were facilitating the trans indoctrination by calling them opposite-sex first names in class. For example, Jack would be called “Judy” and Sharon would be called “Steve” by the teacher - and also fellow students – and they began to accept it as reality. This happened with several children that we now know of. Because the school was doing this to them, the kids thought it was all right. But the school administration purposefully kept this information from the parents.
The Superintendent and Principal both approved of this vile tactic. In fact, they were prepared to officially change kids’ names on the school records “when the student is ready,” we were told – also without parents’ knowledge or input.
It’s hard for normal people to appreciate the depth of this toxic situation. Here is an example of an email that one of the Baird guidance counselors sent to the rest of the staff in early 2021, regarding a 11-year-old girl:
Subject: Michael [Last name] – Preferred name and pronouns
From: Marie-Claire Foley
Hi all,
Mary has a preferred name of Michael/Mike and preferred pronouns of he and his. He understands that there will be times that “Mary” and “she/her” slips out and he is fine with that.
Michael is still in the process of telling his parents and is requesting that school staff refer to him as Mary and use she/her pronouns with his parents and in written emails/letters home. When Michael has informed his parents of his preferred name and pronouns, we will change the name in the computer system if that is what he wishes to do at that time.
I explained to him that we understand this is a complicated process and we will be as supportive as possible – but may make mistakes from time to time.
Thanks, Marie
Here's the email as it appeared in peoples' inboxes:
More to come
It is hard for most of us to believe that people would do this to children - especially the teachers and guidance counselors in a middle school, with the full support of the Superintendent and Principal and even the School Board.
Unfortunately, most of us are very naive. It is now like this almost everywhere across the country (and beyond). What local schools are doing to vulnerable children is evil and criminal. But this isn’t the end of the story in Ludlow!
Next: The “transgenderism” gets exposed and the fight in Ludlow takes off - as MassResistance gets involved!
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
The local Massachusetts ALA affiliate fought hard to keep a sexually explicit children's book from being removed from the middle school library and classrooms.
Most people think of the American Library Association (ALA) and its affiliates as rather bland professional organizations dedicated to supporting the library profession across America. But as with many other such organizations in recent decades, nothing could be further from the truth. The ALA has become a far-left group and a magnet for radicals and sexual deviants who work to push pornography and the LGBT agenda, particularly targeting children, into libraries across the country. The ALA also actively supports the lurid Drag Queen Story Hours in libraries.
As we described in Parts 1-5, Bonnie – a social studies teacher at Baird – had complained along with 18 other teachers about the sexually explicit books in the school library. These books were also being circulated in the classrooms. On Nov. 18, 2019, the teachers sent a detailed letter about the problem to the Superintendent.
The Superintendent disagreed, and told them that the School Board required a formal bureaucratic process to get books removed. So on Jan. 20, 2020, Bonnie submitted the paperwork for one of the worst of the books, Sex is a Funny Word.
It’s usually parents who are the first to complain loudly about harmful books. The fact that this book had been formally challenged by a teacher at the school was very alarming to the librarian, Jordan Funke, and her allies. So Funke (a woman who dresses like a man) fought back. On Jan. 27, 2020, she filed a formal “harassment” charge against Bonnie – claiming that Bonnie’s complaint about the books constituted a personal attack on her. That charge ultimately went nowhere.
Calling the ALA for help
Funke also contacted the American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, their Orwellian hatchet group that fights the removal of pornography targeting children from libraries and schools across the country. Funke was then directed to the Mass. Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom and Social Responsibilities Committee, which pressures libraries and schools in Massachusetts. The MLA was eager to help Funke fight to keep Sex is a Funny Word in the hands of middle school children in Ludlow.
The ALA and its affiliates dishonestly use the term “intellectual freedom” to pressure schools and libraries to treat young children as mature adults, independent of their parents’ guidance – an absurd idea.
Mass. Library Association confronts Ludlow over book
On Feb. 11, 2020 the MLA’s “Intellectual Freedom and Social Responsibilities Committee” sent two strongly worded letters to various people in Ludlow.
The first MLA letter was addressed to “To Whom It May Concern” and seems to be addressing the Baird Middle School teachers and parents. The letter describes how Sex is a Funny Word has won several prominent book awards (from the ALA and other left-wing or LGBT groups), how the book is written at a reading level for 7-10-year-olds, and how the sexuality in the book lines up with Massachusetts Health Curriculum Framework.
All of those reasons, of course, are red flags for parents. The fact that a sex book for children gets awards from far-left and LGBT groups and is written for young children’s reading level is frightening. And the Mass. Health Curriculum Framework, written in 1999, is not state law. It is simply a radical “guide” for sexuality and LGBT “education” in schools – that virtually no school follows.
The letter ended saying that the MLA hopes that the Superintendent’s committee will vote to retain the book in the middle school.
The second MLA letter was addressed to the Ludlow School Board. It warns them not to rescind or deviate from their current “Reconsideration of Materials” policy for their school libraries. There is a veiled threat that there will be some sort of legal action if the School Board changes that policy (which they had apparently done temporarily at a recent meeting).
These letters, using official-sounding language, were clearly meant to intimidate the school officials in Ludlow who might consider siding against Funke, the Superintendent, and their allies. Also, as we learned later, MLA representatives began attending School Board meetings and personally pressured Board members. And it worked. The School Board (and apparently their attorney) got cold feet about getting out of line.
Two days after the MLA letters, on Feb. 13, 2020, the left-wing committee that the Superintendent appointed to deal with Bonnie’s formal complaint unanimously decided that the content of the Sex is a Funny Word is “age-appropriate for middle school students.”
Two months later in April 2020, the MLA’s Intellectual Freedom/Social Responsibilities Committee published an internal report on their Ludlow fight, along with a timeline of events in Ludlow. It’s full of left-wing snark, and many of their details of what happened are incorrect.
But the MLA report shows how deeply involved the organization was in the Ludlow conflict. That’s where we learned that the MLA had begun attending School Board meetings and personally pressuring Board members. And among other things, they apparently also worked with the Superintendent’s committee regarding Bonnie’s complaint to help them back up their “correct” decision.
Final thoughts
It’s very interesting but frightening to see how obsessed these people were with keeping that one book in children’s hands - and how aggressive (and deceitful) they were.
This is a classic example in how the Left operates. They want no one anywhere to have any freedom from their agenda.
Coming up: The transgender agenda targets the kids.
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!
Baird Middle School librarian Jordan Funke (right) poses with one of the library books and the book's author at a school event.
Most people can’t imagine what efforts school officials and activist staff will make to protect the sexuality/LGBT agenda – and how they seek to impose a climate of fear within the school against everyone who disagrees. What happened in this middle school is representative of what is happening across the country.
Librarian files “harassment” charge against Bonnie!
But Funke’s complaint against Bonnie is a bit vague:
"Bonnie has been spreading lies about me and accusing me of sexually exploiting students. I believe this is libel, defamation, and harassment based in part on her perception of my sexual orientation and gender identity."

It seems the people who want to convert your children to their lifestyle and way of thinking don’t even bother to hide it anymore. The so-called “anti-racists” who peddle racist, anti-Western ideology say it out loud. They even have pet thug blackshirts to scare people into it. Antifa holds a summer camp to teach protest tactics to children. Men who wish to normalize pedophilia now call themselves “minor-attracted persons” (they used to be NAMBLA ) and pretend to fight for children’s sexual freedom. Don’t scoff, it’s picking up traction.
In San Francisco, the Gay Men’s Chorus has produced a song with the message: “We’ll convert your children.” The song is supposed to be ironic and clever, but as Ronald Reagan once said, “don’t be afraid to see what you see.” And we see the message. Why hide it anymore, right?
The song, which was produced for LGBTQIA (yes, I had to look it up) Pride month, features a lead singer who affects a defiant look as he sings:
You think we’re sinful, you fight against our right, you say we all lead lives you can’t respect. But you’re just frightened, you think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked. Fine, just this once, you’re correct.
We’ll convert your children, happens bit by bit, quietly and subtlety and you will barely notice it, you can keep them from disco, warn about San Francisco, make them wear pleated pants, we don’t care –
We’ll convert your children, we’ll make them tolerant and fair.
The online publication Not the Bee was the first to spot the song and noted not just the intended irony by the Gay Men’s Chorus, but the unintentionally ironic messaging:
Ah, yes. “Tolerant” and “fair.”
So tolerant, in fact, that anyone who disagrees with the ideology of the LGBT movement that they are doxxed, canceled, derided, and mocked. So fair, in fact, that they say God is unjust for judging those who abuse His design for sex and marriage while they condemn those who abuse their definitions.
I guess it must be fun to fancy yourself a god!
“We’ll convert your children – Yes we will! – reaching one and all, there’s really no escaping it, cause even grandma likes RuPaul. We’ll convert your children: someone’s gotta teach them not to hate!”
Ah, can you sense the love that emanates from these words? There’s no hatred or bitterness here at all!
“We’re coming for them, we’re coming for your children! We’re coming for them, we’re coming for them, WE’RE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN!!!”
Keep it up, guys! You’re doing great.
There is nothing more unifying than telling people you are literally coming for their kids. Nothing!
“Your children will care about fairness and justice for others! Your children will work to convert all their sisters and brothers! Then soon we’re almost certain, your kids will start converting you! The gay agenda is coming home!”
People old enough to remember pointed out the change in messaging by gay activists over the years. One said, “2008: we just want to marry! 2021: we’re coming for your kids!” Another pointed out, “Then: it’s just two adults in the privacy of their own home. Now: … [it’s we’re coming for your children]. And finally, “slippery slope is an observable phenomenon.”
The video was put on YouTube where it was ratio’d with 82 “likes” and more than a 1,000 thumbs down.
Tolerance and love are worthy aspirations. It’s too bad parents who want their kids to stay kids for a while longer and like to go to church don’t receive the same tolerance and love from the left.
Sending the message that “we’ll convert for your children” says it all.
After announcing that the Biden Administration is to begin a door to door vaccination push, the White House Press Secretary used disturbing wording during a briefing, promising to get children vaccinated by sending in “strike forces.”
Biden made the announcement Tuesday.
Jen Psaki then followed up, confirming that it was a real thing and not a Biden mental splurge:
But it was Psaki’s comments afterward that sent the needle to the top of the creepy-o-meter:
OK, so “herd immunity is kind of an outdated term,” and it’s time for the vaccine “strike forces” to go to people’s homes and make sure their children get shot up with experimental substances.
This sounds like the plot of a dystopian horror movie.
Lawmakers responded to Biden’s door to door announcement with alarm:

The largest teachers’ union in the nation, the National Education Association (NEA), committed to funding an investigation into groups that oppose the use of critical theories in K-12 education at their recent annual conference. This move was bad enough. However, the teachers’ union’s acceptance of agenda items did not end there. Indeed, it is setting up a showdown that the government system of education may not survive. At this point, it is legitimate to contemplate if perhaps it should not.
The NEA members approved two agenda items likely meant to chill opposition to turning the public school system into a left-wing indoctrination program. The first, called Business Item A, lays out a task force. The attendees laid out the foundational purpose of the task force in this preamble:
The National Education Association, in coordination with national partners, NEA state and local affiliates, racial justice advocates, allies, and community activists, shall build powerful education communities and continue our work together to eradicate institutional racism in our public school system by:
Now, as far as community activists are concerned, it is almost assured the NEA will not invite groups such as Moms for Liberty and No Left Turn in Education to the table. It is also somewhat ironic that a teachers’ union that opposes all forms of school choice is attempting to root out institutional racism. School choice advocates could effectively argue that the one systemically racist system we have is tying predominantly black and brown students to underperforming and unsafe public schools based solely on their zip codes. This system receives the full support of the NEA.
The NEA is committing itself to pursue economic justice and primarily political aims such as equitable housing and healthcare in Item A. The teachers’ union also commits to programs that train staff in racial justice and equity:
Training specific school personnel to be full-time restorative practice coordinators and providing all school employees with professional development around cultural responsiveness, implicit bias, anti-racism, trauma-informed practices, restorative justice practices and other racial justice trainings
Training educators to lead on equity and racial justice, leveraging the Leaders for Just Schools curriculum and model
It is safe to assume these training classes will be similar to the struggle session model documented by journalist Christopher Rufo. Business Item A deals specifically with leading campaigns that:
Result in increasing the implementation of culturally responsive education, critical race theory, and ethnic (Native people, Asian, Black, Latin(o/a/x), Middle Eastern, North African, and Pacific Islander) Studies curriculum in pre- K-12 and higher education
These bullets are a small slice of what Business Item A touches, but they are the elements most directly related to New Business Item 39. Despite its length, it is included in full here to demonstrate the depth of commitment by the teachers’ union to curriculum and activities that many Americans object to (emphasis mine).
The NEA will, with guidance on implementation from the NEA president and chairs of the Ethnic Minority Affairs Caucuses:
A. Share and publicize, through existing channels, information already available on critical race theory (CRT) — what it is and what it is not; have a team of staffers for members who want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric; and share information with other NEA members as well as their community members.
B. Provide an already-created, in-depth, study that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society, and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project.
C. Publicly (through existing media) convey its support for the accurate and honest teaching of social studies topics, including truthful and age-appropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of American history, such as slavery, and the oppression and discrimination of Indigenous, Black, Brown, and other peoples of color, as well as the continued impact this history has on our current society. The Association will further convey that in teaching these topics, it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory.
D. Join with Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project to call for a rally this year on October 14—George Floyd’s birthday—as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression. Followed by one day of action that recognize and honor lives taken such as Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, and others. The National Education Association shall publicize these National Days of Action to all its members, including in NEA Today.
E. Conduct a virtual listening tour that will educate members on the tools and resources needed to defend honesty in education including but not limited to tools like CRT.
F. Commit President Becky Pringle to make public statements across all lines of media that support racial honesty in education including but not limited to critical race theory.
Public intellectuals like Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay have been warning about the pernicious influence of the ideas of grievance studies and post-modernism on schools of education at our universities. New Business Item 39 and statements from American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten confirm that these radical ideas have influenced the leadership of teachers’ unions. Indeed, some teachers and administrators do not hold these views, but their ability to speak up or affect the direction of these institutions will become increasingly limited.
Our universities are on a continued trajectory of decline. In the 15 years I spent hiring, training, and developing employees, a college degree became more of a screening tool than a guarantee of a well-prepared entry-level employee capable of problem-solving, working in teams, and handling constructive criticism. The function of their costly education was one of selection and stamina. Employers assumed universities selected based on objective criteria of intelligence, so we hired the brightest and then took charge of training them in what they needed to know and do. Now that the admission process is increasingly about representation, it is not even clear universities serve this function.
Now, the largest teachers’ union is determined to take K-12 education down the same road, embracing a curriculum that rejects meritocracy in favor of equity. Wherever we have seen this ideology implemented, we have seen the lowering of the bar for everyone to standardize outcomes. New York City is eliminating entrance requirements at its selective public schools. The SAT is adding an adversity score to credit for economic and social disadvantages. Restorative justice programs made schools less safe for students and staff. There is also an increasing drumbeat to eliminate standardized tests broadly.
The NEA is vowing to accelerate programs and ideas like these. There are reasons to believe the AFT will go down a similar road. Together they represent 4.7 million active members in thousands of school districts nationwide. Parents opposed to the ideas the teachers’ unions seem determined to incorporate may need to consider that eradicating the critical theories from the K-12 classroom is not possible. Schools of education pump out these ideas with nearly every diploma, and the ideas even exist in districts not represented by a teachers’ union.
It may be time to think deeply about innovation in K-12 education. Instead of pushing bans on certain types of curricula, perhaps it is time to expand choice. The days of limiting the option to low-income students need to end. Petitioning state legislatures to pass legislation on education savings accounts for K-12 education, where every parent can have the dollars allocated to their child follow them to the program of their choice, would be ideal. At a minimum, that would provide parent groups with financial leverage because funding of public schools is often on a per-student basis.
American children need educators, not activists, in the classroom. It is no longer clear that a degree is required to provide most children with a K-12 education based on rational thinking, objective truth, and appropriate nuance. If doing that takes a village, parents should have the ability to determine the people to include in that group.
Rumble — The country's largest teacher's union and socialist projects align themselves to fight against recent legislation banning critical race theory. One America's Zach Petersen has more.

A District Administrationsurvey conducted just before the FDA’s authorization for 12-15-year-olds to receive the COVID-19 shot found that only 3 in 10 parents said they would vaccinate their children right away, with most instead wanting to wait and see, or saying they would not get their child vaccinated at all or would do so only if required for school.
However, with the authorization of Pfizer’s shot for 12-15-year-olds, a group that totals almost 17 million, minors can consent to receive the COVID-19 shot even without the parent’s knowledge in many states.
The age at which a minor can consent to receive the experimental biological agent in Alabama is age 14; in San Francisco, 12; Philadelphia, 12; North Carolina, 11; South Carolina, 16. America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Legal Director Ali Schultz explained: “They can all consent, minors can consent, on their own, even if they live with their mom and dad who are married, they live with their parents, no issues, the child literally can consent at school to receive the vaccine, without the parents even knowing.”
She continued: “We’ve had so many people reach out, and they were just heartbroken, they cannot believe that their child was able to get this without them even knowing, because as parents they were personally against the vaccine, and no-one even ran it by them.
“And what’s even scarier: It’s up to the health care provider, in a multitude of states; Iowa, Idaho, Washington, Arkansas; so if a ‘health care provider’ deems that it is appropriate for a minor to get the vaccine, then they can do so without parental consent.”
According to District Administration, although most states still require parental consent, “the landscape may be shifting slightly as more jurisdictions seek to encourage vaccination of young people.” Their specific findings are as follows:
Most states (41) require parental consent for vaccination of minors below the age of 18, although one of these states (NE) requires consent below age 19. There are some exceptions to these requirements:
Many allow for certain minors, such as those who are emancipated, homeless or living apart from their parent or guardian, or married, to self-consent.
Cities in two states (San Francisco in CA and Philadelphia in PA), have moved to allow minors, ages 12 and older, to self-consent for COVID-19 vaccination.
In one state (AZ), if a parent refuses to consent for COVID-19 vaccination, but if a child or a doctor requests it, a court order can be obtained to allow for vaccination.
In 5 states, a minor’s ability to self-consent is based on a specific age as follows:
Two states where a minor must be at least 16 (RI and SC)
One state where a minor must be at least 15 (OR)
One state where a minor must be at least 14 (AL)
One state where a minor must be at least 11 (DC; in DC, each healthcare provider may institute additional requirements which could include requiring a parent or guardian to be present).
The remaining 5 states apply the “mature minor doctrine”, meaning that there is no specific age cut-off but providers have discretion to decide if a minor possesses the maturity to consent for themselves (AR, ID, NC, TN, WA).
This means that parental consent has already been required for 16-17 year-olds in most states (41) since the initial authorization of the Pfizer vaccine on December 11, 2020. Two additional states require consent for some subset of 12-15 year-olds, bringing the count to 43 states where most minors in this age group would need parental consent. Once the next group of children is eligible for vaccination, those below age 12, this number will grow to 45.
National Vaccine Information Center‘s Barbara Loe Fisher commented on the “shifting landscape”: “This past year, we have seen many lawmakers in the U.S. and other countries vote to eliminate or severely restrict civil liberties in the name of the public health. One of the most outrageous legislative actions violating parental and human rights took place in Washington, D.C. in November 2020 when City Council officials gave doctors the power to vaccinate children as young as 11 years old and hide what they did from parents. The D.C. Mayor refused to veto the bill and, in January 2021, the U.S. Congress sat on its hands and gave tacit approval to the enactment of the most dangerous child vaccination law in America.”
She continued: “In a breathtaking violation of medical ethics and several federal laws, the new vaccine concealment law in Washington, DC allows doctors to extract “informed consent” from young children too immature to know what informed consent means or what a vaccine reaction looks and feels like. The D.C. City Council majority, with only three members dissenting, cruelly disempowered parents by voting to make it illegal for a doctor, insurance company or school administrator to divulge a child’s vaccination history in records that can be seen by the child’s mother or father.
“An 11-year old child does not know or understand his or her personal health history but most parents do. If a child has experienced previous vaccine reactions, has severe allergies or other health conditions that could increase vaccine risks, parents kept in the dark will not have a way to protect their child from further harm.
“Parents who don’t know which vaccines their children have been given will not be able to monitor them for signs of a potentially life-threatening vaccine reaction that requires immediate medical treatment. If the child is injured or dies after vaccination, parents will not know they must apply to the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) before the filing deadline expires.
“Parents will not know their insurance company has been billed for vaccines. Parents will not know that a school the child attends is in possession of their child’s secret vaccination records even when there is a vaccine exemption for religious belief reasons on file with the school.
“This blatant violation of a parent’s moral right and legal responsibility to make medical risk decisions on behalf of a minor child was endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics22 and pushed through by the DC City Council, while the Mayor and the US Congress looked the other way.”
She concluded: “The Universal Declaration of Bioethics and Human Rights states that:
“The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society;” and “For persons who are not capable of exercising autonomy, special measures are to be taken to protect their rights and interests;” and “Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information.”
“It is a profound betrayal of public trust for any city, state, or federal government to strip parents of their God-given right to protect their children from harm by allowing a doctor to give a child a pharmaceutical product without getting a parent’s permission. Science is not perfect, doctors are not infallible, and pharmaceutical products like vaccines come with risks that can be greater for some individuals than others, which is why parents must retain the human right to exercise informed consent to medical risk-taking on behalf of their minor children.
“Will the vaccine concealment bill that is now law in Washington, DC be exported to your state next?”
Mercury News provided the list of where parental or guardian consent is now generally required for COVID-19 vaccinations among people ages 12 to 15, based on a CNN query to health departments across all 50 states:

Last week, Ohio’s House of Representativespassed legislation that would forbid schools in the state from permitting so-called transgender women from joining women’s sports for the obvious reason that “transgender women” are really men.
Ohio Senate Republicans weren’t happy about it, and won’t go along. GOP Governor Mike DeWine said he won’t sign any bill that bans “transgender” girls and women from joining women’s sports.
But more disturbing than GOP opposition to the bill and why it won’t likely pass is what happened when Jena Powell, who represents Ohio’s 80th district and sponsored the measure, rose to speak.
Her Democrat colleagues began an unhinged Antifa-like protest that was at best ugly and rude, and at worst an implicit threat of violence.
The Bill
House Bill 61, attached as an amendment to another sports-related bill, is simple enough. Boys are not girls, men are not women, and the former will not be permitted to compete against the latter.
The language is straightforward and unimpeachable: “No school, interscholastic conference, or organization that regulates interscholastic athletics shall permit individuals of the male sex to participate on athletic teams or in athletic competitions designated only for participants of the female sex.”
It also establishes the means to determine an athlete’s real sex:
If a participant’s sex is disputed, the participant shall establish the participant’s sex by presenting a signed physician’s statement indicating the participant’s sex based upon only the following:
(1) The participant’s internal and external reproductive anatomy;
(2) The participant’s normal endogenously produced levels of testosterone;
(3) An analysis of the participant’s genetic makeup.
The bill prohibits state agencies from fielding complaints from “transgenders,” or investigating schools that prohibit the insanity. Even better, it also protects women:
Any participant who is deprived of an athletic opportunity or suffers a direct or indirect harm as a result of a violation of this section shall have a private cause of action.…
Any participant who is subject to retaliation or other adverse action by a school, school district, interscholastic conference, or organization that regulates interscholastic athletics as a result of reporting a violation of this section shall have a private cause of action.
The bill applies to colleges and also protects schools that refuse to permit the insanity.
Antifa Tactics Begin
“It is crucial to preserving women's rights and the integrity and women’s and girl’s sports,” Powell said:
Across our country female athletes are currently losing scholarships, opportunities, medals, education and training opportunities. This amendment will require schools … to designate separate teams for participants of the biological sex.
That’s when the maniacal, terroristic pounding began.
“Powell offered the change over the loud objections of Democratic lawmakers, who pounded on tables as Lakewood Rep. Michael Skindell yelled ‘unfair,’” the Columbus Dispatch reported:
“The trans children need us to stand up for them. And I cannot believe,” House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes started. “Actually, I can believe that we are here because the cruelty truly is the point.”
The bill is not “unfair,” and “trans children” don’t need Sykes or her colleagues to “stand up for them.” They need psychiatric help.
Skindell might also drop by the headshrinker’s office. He pounded his desk with Satanic fury:
That aside, GOP Representative Sara Carruthers appealed to parents, the newspaper reported: “If you have a daughter, you should believe in this.”
The GOP’s DeWine says government mustn’t involve itself in sports:
This issue is best addressed outside of government, through individual sports leagues and athletic associations, including the Ohio High School Athletic Association, who can tailor policies to meet the needs of their member athletes and member institutions.
How that prescription would work when a “transgender girl” and her parents sue a school for violating federal policy we are not given to know.
Powell is undeterred: “Biological Males Don’t Belong In Women’s Sports,” her Facebook page says.

In a Massachusetts town: How parents are fighting – and winning – a brutal fight with school officials over aggressive LGBT middle school agenda.
Graphic library books. Staff persuading kids they are “transgender” while keeping parents in the dark. And more. Most people have no idea how radical this agenda is – or of the contempt that school officials have for parents who disagree. But with MassResistance’s help, these parents are succeeding.
(Part I of a multi-part series over the next several days.)
The Baird Middle School in Ludlow, MA, has become an unsafe place for parents to send their children.
It’s happening in more places than people realize.
Ludlow is a town of about 21,000 in central Massachusetts. The people are relatively conservative. It’s a tight community. Many of the families also speak Portuguese or Polish and have lived there for generations. People have always been happy to send their children to the local public schools.
But in late 2019, parents at the Baird Middle School (where the kids are ages 11-13) were shocked at the militant LGBT agenda they started seeing. The more they found out, the worse they realized it was.
Here we give a brief overview of what happened. In the upcoming installments, we will include the shocking and outrageous details. It is important to realize just how depraved many school personnel are and how horrible their agenda is. And it’s frightening how viciously the school officials – from the School Board and Superintendent on down – behave toward parents who challenge this. But it’s also important to know that they can be beaten.
The pornographic books
The school had hired a “transgender” school librarian (a weird woman who dressed as a man). Very graphic, explicit homosexual and transgender-themed books appeared on the library shelves, and several were prominently displayed. Many of the books encouraged kids to experiment with LGBT behaviors, as well as other sexual activities. A teacher observed that a boy began fondling himself after reading one of the books during class.
The school librarian, Jordan Funke (Center) poses with Ludlow Superintendent Todd Gazda (left) along with other staff and a consultant. (Both have now resigned!)
Subverting and attacking parents
A group of parents began coming to School Board meetings to complain about the books. But they were treated harshly and disrespectfully. They were told they were interfering with “diversity.” They were handed a list of bureaucratic steps to follow if they wanted the officials to consider removing the books. But the Superintendent insisted that the books were completely appropriate.
At one point, the School Board moved their meeting to a gymnasium so that a crowd of local left-wing teachers and LGBT activists could come and intimidate the parents with vicious name-calling.
The Massachusetts chapter of American Library Association (ALA) even got involved, apparently at the instigation of the school librarian. They told the School Board that the books are “entirely appropriate” for fifth-graders, and warned the Board that removing the books would constitute an abridgement of the “intellectual freedom” of the children.
The teacher who stood up for parents
One of the teachers, a Christian, was a true hero. This woman revealed several of the books to the parents and helped them understand what the children were exposed to in the library. For doing that, other staff members harassed and tried to intimidate her. They even tried to press harassment charges against her. But she stood tall and would not cave in.
The teacher also revealed that there had been bizarre sexual posters put up just outside the school library, but they had been removed when it was feared that parents walking through the school might see them.
These are a few of the posters that were put up just outside of the Baird Middle School Library - apparently by the librarian - but were soon taken down.
The hardcore “transgender” agenda
When COVID hit, parents found out that on days when students were allowed to go into the school, there were occasional strange pro-LGBT one-and-one sessions between school staff members and some of the more vulnerable kids. The kids were given pornography and links to “transgender” YouTube videos.
Teachers and counselors secretly began pushing the concept of “preferred pronouns” to the children (i.e., using “him” for a girl or “her” for a boy – or some other invented pronoun). From there, if a student “felt” like the opposite sex, the staff would persuade the child to use an opposite-sex name while in school. Other students and staff were also told to address the child by that name. All of this was purposely kept hidden from the child’s parents as well as other parents.
But thanks to that Christian teacher, parents were starting to find out. And they were outraged. That’s when they asked MassResistance to step in and help them. We began organizing them for action. Among other things, they began exposing this to other people in town and demanding that the perpetrators be fired.
When that teacher informed one of the fathers that both of his middle school children were now using opposite-sex names and receiving “transgender’ counseling in the school, he was livid. He confronted the school officials. At first, they refused to meet with him and the mother, but finally, they relented. (MassResistance accompanied him to a meeting with the Superintendent, who basically stonewalled and tried to defend the staff’s actions.)
A major victory
But we helped the parents keep up the pressure. The outrage against the school intensified. (And the parent now has lawyers getting involved.)
In early May 2021, the librarian announced she was resigning. A few weeks later, the Superintendent announced he was resigning. This is a huge victory! And there are rumors that the school principal is looking for another job.
In retaliation: The teacher is fired, and more
But the remaining school officials are angrier than ever. Before leaving, the Superintendent had the Christian teacher formally fired, which has incensed the parents even more. (She now has a lawyer!) And the School Board has started a vile salvo of invective against the parents, demeaning and degrading them (and MassResistance) before the community. What’s more, a small group of local leftist zealots is supporting the School Board by attacking the parents on social media.
More happening
The battle in Ludlow is continuing to boil. The parents will continue to pursue their goal to get the LGBT agenda out of the school – and the other ringleaders on the staff removed. The next few months are probably going to be ugly.
Next: The middle school library books
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

“It is abundantly clear that we need to do a much better job of educating our students in civics to prepare them for the rest of their lives.”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed education legislation this week designed to teach the truth about America’s history and the evils of totalitarian ideologies.
The three different pieces of legislation – House Bill 5, HB 233, and Senate Bill 1108 – will teach children about the Constitution, as well as giving them an understanding of the “evils of communism and totalitarian ideologies.” Also, the bills require the State Board of Education “to conduct an annual assessment on intellectual freedom & viewpoint diversity.” Also, young learners will need to “pass a specified assessment to demonstrate competency in civic literacy.”
The welcome laws are needed now more than ever as children are being indoctrinated by radical leftists across the country. A sample can be found at RAIR Foundation USA here, here, here, here and here.
During a must-see press conference (watch below), DeSantis explained:
“The sad reality is that only two in five Americans can correctly name the three branches of government, and more than a third of Americans cannot name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. It is abundantly clear that we need to do a much better job of educating our students in civics to prepare them for the rest of their lives.”
DeSantis continued:
“We have a number of people in Florida, particularly southern Florida, who’ve escaped totalitarian regimes, who’ve escaped communist dictatorships to be able to come to America,” DeSantis said. “We want all students to understand the difference: Why would somebody flee across shark-infested waters, say, leaving from Cuba to come to southern Florida? Why would somebody leave a place like Vietnam? Why would people leave these countries and risk their life to be able to come here? It’s important students understand that.”
With a curriculum like that, children will be much better equipped to ward off the creeping communist ideology infecting universities across the country.

(Natural News) Since the mid-1980s, the number of childhood shots on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine schedule has more than quadrupled. When parents express reluctance about turning their little ones into perpetual pin cushions, drug makers and doctors have a ready answer — combination vaccines that “simplify” the schedule by decreasing the number of injections administered.
This month marks the U.S. launch of the Merck/Sanofi joint-venture vaccine, Vaxelis, a six-in-one (hexavalent) combination vaccine that contains diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) components as well as components said to protect against polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and hepatitis B.
Public health officials optimistically believe that bundling all of these components into one shot will help close noncompliance loopholes and increase the likelihood that children will complete “all recommended vaccinations.”
Though Vaxelis is the nation’s first hexavalent injection, it joins other four- or five-in-one vaccines already on the CDC schedule. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Vaxelis in late 2018 — as a three-dose series for 2-, 4- and 6-month-old infants — but it is only now, two-and-a-half years later, that the shot is being readied for widespread distribution.
There are numerous warning signs that potent all-in-one vaccines are too much for immature immune systems to handle. Concerning safety signals have emerged not just for hexavalent but also pentavalent (five-in-one) vaccines.
In Europe, where infants have been given hexavalent vaccines for some years (including Vaxelis since 2016), the formulations have produced many troubling reports of sudden infant death.
Absurdly, none of the clinical studies assessing Vaxelis safety and efficacy conducted fair comparisons against an inert placebo. Instead, in the two U.S. clinical trials for Vaxelis, not only did investigators compare infants receiving Vaxelis to babies who received Sanofi’s five-in-one Pentacel — but babies in both groups also received rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines at the same time!
In this context, the CDC’s sales pitch to the public — and its claims that side effects are “usually mild” — cannot be considered credible.
Here are some of the other facts missing from the CDC’s communications:
In the two U.S. trials six infants died (slide #27) in the Vaxelis group (some after receiving just one dose); one infant also died in the “control” group that received five-in-one vaccines.
All six Vaxelis recipients died within six weeks of vaccination. This timing matches other published accounts of infant deaths “clustering” following hexavalent vaccination.
The reported causes of death for the infants who received Vaxelis included asphyxia, sepsis, fluid in the brain and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). These outcomes correspond to the types of adverse events reported following hexavalent vaccination in Europe.
Package inserts for other vaccines on the CDC schedule list similar causes of death, suggesting these fatal Vaxelis outcomes are plausibly associated with vaccination.
In the clinical trials, the rate of fever was notably higher in Vaxelis recipients even when compared to children receiving five-in-one vaccines (47% vs. 34%).
Thus, financial analysts expect Vaxelis to “garner significant patient share following its [U.S.] launch” — predicting that it will account for almost a third of U.S. DTaP vaccinations by 2028 — or $841 million in annual sales.
These predictions represent good news for Merck and Sanofi, two of the “big four” pharma giants that dominate the childhood vaccine market in the United States. Merck is already doing a booming vaccine business, recently reporting annual sales growth of 14.8% for its pneumococcal vaccine (Pneumovax 23) and 5.4% for its human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil-9.
However, Merck also faces proliferating Gardasil-related lawsuits — including legal actions alleging that the company knew about and ignored life-changing adverse events from the get-go, many of which (when not fatal) have involved autoimmunity and chronic pain. In fact, before the advent of emergency use COVID vaccines (responsible for an alarming escalation of vaccine-related adverse events), Gardasil had had “more side effects reported than all other vaccines combined.”
Sanofi, too, is embroiled in thousands of lawsuits worldwide — notably for its disastrous and sometimes fatal dengue vaccine. As with Merck, this has not dampened overall vaccine sales growth, which continues its strong upward trajectory, likely to be further strengthened by the U.S. Vaxelis rollout.
Although Sanofi has not been a front-runner in the COVID vaccine race, the company is currently running clinical trials for messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for both COVID and seasonal influenza.
Aluminum secrecy and grandfathered ingredients
Merck’s proprietary, “super-powered” aluminum adjuvant — amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate (AAHS) — which is believed to play a significant role in Gardasil’s risk profile, is also present in Vaxelis.
After Merck developed AAHS, it began to “preferentially” feature AAHS in its vaccines even though, as Danish scientists outlined last year, the company appears to have disregarded procedures ordinarily required for approval of new adjuvants.
According to the Danes, at the time AAHS appeared, it represented a “new type of aluminium adjuvant with excipients that [had] not been used earlier in [European Medicines Agency] authorized vaccines.” It should have been — but apparently was not — tested against an inert placebo. For this and other reasons, the Danish scientists question the ethical underpinnings of the Gardasil clinical trials.
In noting that Merck also “seems to have prevented independent studies of AAHS,” the Danes repeated a critique aired by world-famous aluminum expert Christopher Exley in 2018. In an extensive discussion of different aluminum-based adjuvants and their immunological mechanisms of action, Exley and co-authors emphasized the importance of studying aluminum adjuvants one by one, as each is “chemically and biologically dissimilar with concomitantly potentially distinct roles in vaccine-related adverse events.”
Concerningly, the Vaxelis liquid suspension is adjuvanted onto not just AAHS, but also another aluminum adjuvant — aluminum phosphate). The package insert disingenuously shorthands the combination of adjuvants as “aluminum salts.”
How this double whammy of aluminum (319 micrograms per vaccine dose) interacts with the vaccine’s six antigens, or Vaxelis’s numerous other ingredients, or the heavy aluminum load in other childhood vaccines is largely unknown.
According to the Vaxelis package insert, the vaccine also includes: polysorbate 80 (an ingredient flagged for its propensity to induce hypersensitivity reactions); glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde (problematic chemicals deemed necessary to inactivate pertussis toxin); bovine serum albumin (often harvested from bovine fetuses when female cows are found to be pregnant at slaughter); three different antibiotics (neomycin, streptomycin and polymyxin B); ammonium thiocyanate (also a rust inhibitor, weedkiller and defoliant); and yeast protein (associated, notably in hepatitis B vaccines, with autoimmune reactions).
Regulatory loopholes allow manufacturers to “grandfather” ingredients into new vaccines if the components are already present in other licensed vaccines — regardless of how inadequate the original safety testing may have been.
The main cautionary note sounded in the meager Vaxelis patient information sheet is to not give Vaxelis to children if they are “allergic to any of the ingredients.”
For thee and thee … but not for me?
The CDC seems to be particularly interested in ensuring that poor and non-white children get Vaxelis. The agency began laying the groundwork to offer Vaxelis through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program — the agency’s vaccine program for the poor — over two years ago, in March 2019.
In September of that year, the CDC followed up with an affirmative vote. Public health departments have been promoting Vaxelis to participating VFC providers since early June 2021.
At its September 2019 meeting, CDC outlined another topic deemed important for discussion in the near future — raising the issue of whether Vaxelis should be “preferentially recommended” for the American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) pediatric population.
The tenuous rationale, according to the meeting notes, was because, “in the pre-vaccine era” (more than 35 years ago), “Hib disease occurred at a younger age among the AI/AN population compared to the general population.”
Wave of the future?
Judging from its website, the CDC perceives combination vaccines to be the wave of the future, and has signaled its strong endorsement of Vaxelis by incorporating the new vaccine into its 2021 vaccine schedule.
As if exposure to six antigens were not enough, FDA and CDC also say it is okay for healthcare providers to administer the six-in-one shot at the same time as other vaccines.
These agencies’ characterization of the Vaxelis safety profile as “acceptable” indicates they have either not done their due diligence, or are willing to accept a high level of collateral damage in exchange for the “convenience” of six-in-one shots.
However, as the “overwhelmed by guilt” parents of COVID-vaccine-injured teens are increasingly finding out, convenience is poor consolation for life-changing or life-threatening adverse outcomes.

Free to Learn is a new non-profit that is taking a non-partisan approach to highlighting the damage politicized content like critical theories are doing to our children and the quality of the education they receive. The group’s mission is to support parents, caregivers, and grassroots community organizations fighting to rid their schools of political content and to refocus on core skills.
“After a year of virtual learning and having a front-row seat in the classroom, parents are waking up to the increasingly political climate in their children’s schools,” Alleigh Marré, president of the Free to Learn Coalition, explained in a press release. “As we grow our partnerships with parent and community groups, the Free to Learn Coalition will provide a platform and tailored resources to those ready to take on political activism by school boards and administrators.”
In an interview with PJ Media, Marré shared some results taken from initial polling conducted by Free to Learn. Objections to political content in the classroom are bipartisan and resounding. A majority of respondents, 82%, want no politicized content in school. When asked where curriculum should be focused, 71% prefer to emphasize core subjects over ideology, including 66% of self-identified liberals. In a national election, these numbers would be considered a landslide. To put a fine point on the polling information, Marré emphasized that the goal is not to limit the exposure to a broad range of ideas. The objection is to teaching materials through the lens of one ideology and presenting them as facts.
The current debate over civics education in some districts provides one example. Parents prefer teaching about how our government functions, covering the mechanics of the election process at the local, state, and national level, or covering current events. As Stanley Kurtz wrote in the American Mind:
True civic education conveys the purpose, nature, and contours of our constitutional republic, tells the story of the struggle to uphold its founding principles of equal rights and liberty, and cultivates virtues necessary to the republic’s preservation. What civic education very deliberately does not attempt to do is supply students with substantive political positions. That is for students themselves to determine as free individuals, in the fullness of time.
This content can become politicized through programs like Action Civics, where students lobby, protest, and influence the political process as part of the curriculum. As the Texas Public Policy Foundation noted, “When ‘action’ proceeds from unexamined assumptions, the result is not learning, but indoctrination.” There is a distinct difference between requiring students to attend a city council meeting and report back on their observations of the process, and giving credit to students for attending an anti-gun protest.
To reach parents who may be apolitical, Free to Learn has invested seven figures in launching a national ad campaign. The national ad highlights the declining performance in reading, math, and science education in the United States. In the last OCED PISA rating, the U.S. ranked 22, far behind China and even newer nations like Estonia and Slovenia:
The ads deployed in the local markets note the declining global performance and highlight additional details of the three situations summarized in the national ad. One ad will air in the New York metro. It explicitly calls out Grace Church School and several others in the area:
The ad that Free to Learn will air the Fairfax, Va., market highlights the problems with equity policies. Invariably, these programs demand that school officials lower requirements to give the impression of equal outcomes while handicapping exceptional students from every background:
In Arizona, Free to Learn takes aim at the Peoria School District. It highlights allegations of abuse and the parents being denied access to the curriculum taught to their children. That level of arrogance — feeling that government employees paid by the taxpayers are better suited to determine what children need than parents — is tragically commonplace across the country:
The goal of Free to Learn is to assist parents and grassroots organizations in networking and information sharing. The group’s polling finds that parents are not alone in wanting to move away from school curriculum that comes under labels like “social-emotional” or “diversity, equity, and inclusion” teaching through the lens of critical theories and back to skill-building that breeds critical thinking. However, messages from the media can make parents feel like they are alone, don’t understand the content, or that this is all a “right-wing conspiracy.”
“If there was any basis to label this issue as a conspiracy theory, the recent regulatory proposals of the Biden Department of Education and should clear that up,” Marré, the Free to Learn president, told PJ Media. The proposals condition grant funding to schools on programs that use critical theories and curriculum based on the 1619 Project. Through coordinated parent-led collaboration, Marré hopes to overcome these perceptions and empower parents. “The future of our nation depends on improving the performance of our public schools.”

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to position himself as the common-sense conservative Americans need in the face of an increasingly bold leftist agenda, this time signing three bills into law that will boost civics education in public schools and require teaching on the evils of communism, the Daily Wire reported.
On Tuesday, DeSantis signed House Bill 5, which will require the Florida Department of Education to create a civics education curriculum that “includes an understanding of citizens’ shared rights and responsibilities under the Constitution and Bill of Rights,” according to a news release on the bills. It will require the high-school curriculum to discuss political ideologies that oppose the principles of freedom and democracy, including communism and totalitarianism. The curriculum will also include a library of “Portraits in Patriotism,” which highlights individuals who have moved to this country for freedom to escape persecution from tyrannical regimes such as in Cuba or Venezuela. The bill requires first-person accounts of “victims of other nations’ governing philosophies who can compare those philosophies with those of the United States.”
“We want all students to understand the difference, why would somebody flee across shark-infested waters say, leaving from Cuba to come to southern Florida?” DeSantis explained during a press conference and signing ceremony at Three Oaks Middle School. “Why would somebody leave a place like Vietnam? Why would people leave these countries and risk their lives to be able to come here? It’s important that students understand that. Now as part of this bill, Florida will create a ‘Portraits in Patriotism’ library so students can learn about real patriots who came to this country after seeing the horrors of these communist regimes.”
“We have a number of people in Florida,” DeSantis added, “who’ve escaped totalitarian regimes, who’ve escaped communist dictatorships to be able to come to America.”
Also signed on Tuesday was Senate Bill 1108, which will require state college and university students to take a civic literacy course and a civic literacy assessment as a graduation requirement.
“The sad reality is that only two in five Americans can correctly name the three branches of government, and more than a third of Americans cannot name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment,” DeSantis said. “It is abundantly clear that we need to do a much better job of educating our students in civics to prepare them for the rest of their lives.”
Under Senate Bill 1108, high-school students will be required to take a civic literacy assessment that, if passed, will exempt students from the post-secondary test requirement.
Governor DeSantis also signed House Bill 233 into law on Tuesday. This bill requires state colleges and universities to annually assess “viewpoint diversity and intellectual freedom at their institutions to ensure that Florida’s postsecondary students will be shown diverse ideas and opinions, including those that they may disagree with or find uncomfortable.”
“It used to be thought that a university campus was a place you’d be exposed to a lot of different ideas. Unfortunately now, the norm is really that these are more intellectually oppressive environments,” the governor opined. “You have orthodoxies that are promoted, and other viewpoints are shunned or even suppressed. We don’t want that in Florida. You need to have a true contest of ideas. Students should not be shielded from ideas and we want robust First Amendment speech on our college and university campuses.”
The timing of the bills is appropriate, as high schools and colleges across the country continue to be bastions of Leftist thought that churn out the future anti-American, anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-capitalist leaders advocating for left-wing agenda items such as critical race theory, the New York Times’ “1619 Project,” and cancel culture.
Until the 1960s, civics education was commonplace in American schools, but shifting priorities and intrusive government education reforms ultimately slashed civics offerings from public schools. According to the National Education Association, only 25 percent of U.S. students today reach the “proficient” standard on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) Civics Assessment required to be passed by incoming citizens of the United States, with white, upper-class students four to six times more likely than Black and Hispanic students from low-income households to exceed that level.
Conservatives such as DeSantis understand the old adage that those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it, a sentiment that has been made most clear by recent testimony at a Loudoun County School Board meeting in Virginia by a mother who escaped Chairman Mao’s brutal communist regime in China. Xi Van Fleet told the school board that critical race theory is “the American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.”
“Critical race theory has its roots in cultural Marxism — it should have no place in our schools,” she said.
“You are now teaching, training our children, to be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and our history,” she continued.
“Growing up in Mao’s China, all of this seems very familiar,” insisted Van Fleet, who fled China at the age of 26. “The Communist regime used the same critical theory to divide people. The only difference is they used class instead of race.”
Americans’ lack of knowledge about their country’s history was made painfully clear during a recent episode of Jeopardy, which aired on June 1, in which not one of the three contestants were able to answer a very easy question about the Gettysburg Address, prompting intense backlash from viewers.
An $800 question in a “Quotations” category read, “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, is from the end of this brief but powerful speech.”
Seconds passed, followed by a brief but telling silence before guest host Mayim Bialik revealed the answer to be the Gettysburg Address.
The embarrassing display invited vitriol from viewers online.
“I’m gonna pretend like I just didn’t see ALL THREE contestants miss ‘the Gettysburg Address’ just now,” replied another.
“How did #Jeopardy manage to find three contestants who don’t recognize the closing line of the Gettysburg Address? This isn’t Elementary Jeopardy, folks,” remarked another critic.
As noted by Life Site News, the three new laws are just the latest in a long list of conservative accomplishments for DeSantis, which include tougher penalties for riot-related offenses, requiring schools to allow silent time for prayer, opposition to overzealous COVID restrictions, banning sanctuary cities, strengthening election security, and keeping males out of female sports.

Parents derail hiring of toxic Critical Race Theory consultant in California school district.
School Board had no problem with her radical views, but parents went ballistic!
Exposure goes viral – featured on national Fox News!
Part of outrageous district-wide plan to indoctrinate children.
June 18, 2021
Dr. Sheri Atwater, a "diversity, inclusion, and equity" consultant, tells the district's Equity Task Force (via Zoom) how she's going to help them stop the white supremacy, identity, and white privilege problems in their schools.
A few parents can make a big difference if the pressure is put in the right places. This is also a story about how these poisonous agendas get into our schools.
Hermosa Beach is a small beachside community in the South Bay section of Los Angeles County. It is one of the wealthiest school districts in the state of California. For years, the students have consistently earned some of the highest test scores, and parents have been more than happy to raise taxes when state lawmakers cut funding to school districts during hard economic times.
Hermosa Beach is a wealthy California town just southeast of Los Angeles.
The Hermosa Beach school district seemed like a ripe target for the radical left’s latest propaganda: Critical Race Theory (CRT). The elected school officials consider themselves “modern” and “progressive” and were becoming increasingly “woke” – and the community trusted them. When the teachers’ union and others pushed this “new important” program, the school officials didn’t want to be left behind.
How they went about incorporating the CRT curriculum is a veritable clinic of the leftist strategy to bring a very controversial new agenda into a school system. We’ve seen this around the country.
The roadmap: a “District Equity Resolution”
Things began gearing up last September. The School Board passed a “District Equity Resolution.” This was clearly put together for them by an outside entity from a sophisticated template.
It’s worth studying. The resolution includes a long-winded declaration that there is “institutional and structural racism and injustice” in society at large and in their own community. This includes every person in the school district and their staff – and it’s “affecting student achievement.” (It also lists “gender, gender identity, sexual orientation” among the “biases in our own school district” that must be cleansed.)
The resolution then calls for the creation of an “Equity Task Force” to investigate the district’s racism and injustice further, then create an “Equity Agenda” for fixing it with “Measurable Targets.”
Not surprisingly, this translates into hardcore propaganda sessions for all students in virtually every classroom plus “training sessions” for all staff. There was also a call for “community engagement” – which means spending more money to persuade parents and others that this program is a good thing.
Disguising the true nature and intent of a program is a standard leftist tactic. The term “Critical Race Theory” is nowhere to be found in any of the material (except on their web page where they attempt to deny it). But that’s exactly what it is.
The Equity Task Force was implemented very quickly. This concept of setting up a “task force” to push an offensive agenda into a school district goes back to the 1990s with sex education. The organizers include a wide range of people from the community: school staff, parents, students, administrators, School Board members, and others. This is to give it the aura of a broad-based consensus and input. But the participants are very carefully chosen (to be sufficiently passive), and the core leaders are radicals who are trained experts at directing the group’s decisions. It’s a very common strategy.
The Task Force also set up an “Equity and Inclusion webpage” with “resources and updates” of the Task Force’s work and progress.
MassResistance gets involved
A group of Hermosa Beach parents who monitor and discuss local politics in a social media group became alarmed and began following this disturbing development. The group shared clips of various School Board and Task Force meetings and other material.
In January 2021, our MassResistance Organization Director, Arthur Schaper (who lives in nearby Torrance, CA), got involved to help with this specific issue. Arthur had worked with several of the parents in the past on various local school and civic issues.
The parents were very worried about this but weren’t sure what to do. Arthur encouraged them to take direct action. He told them to file FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests, to get parents to confront the School Board, and to expose to the community what is going on. They agreed with Arthur’s approach. From there, the parents were off and running!
Taking on the School Board
The parents found out that the School Board was spending considerable money on radical outside consulting groups to create and implement their “equity” agenda. It was clearly a “Critical Race Theory” and Marxist agenda that was coming to their school system.
Parents started speaking up at the School Board meetings, held remotely via Zoom. Actual public testimony was replaced by emailing the Board, and the Superintendent would read the emails aloud during the meeting. Other parents contacted the Board members directly with their expressions of outrage. At first, just a few got involved, but the number steadily grew as parents lost their fear and reticence.
A parent exposes the horror about to come
Then, the April 13 Equity Task Force meeting included a presentation from a consultant whom the Task Force was hiring, Dr. Sheri Atwater. She is a psychologist and specialist in “diversity, inclusion, and equity” (DEI), and was being hired to design the training sessions for students in classrooms and also school staff. The meeting was via Zoom and made accessible to the public.
Atwater talked about white privilege, identity, and white supremacy, and how important it was to deal with those issues, even in elementary school. “This is the time to build into the curriculum the implicit biases that we all have,” she told the Board. For example: She will ask children to “raise their hands if they are a racist.” No one raises his hand. But by the end of the session she teaches them that they really are racists, but didn’t know it. Now they know.
One of the parents watched the meeting, and was shocked. He made a video of Atwater’s remarks and posted it on YouTube:
VIDEO: SHERI ATWATER AT EQUITY TASK FORCE MEETING (1 min 40 sec)
The video alarmed parents across the city of Hermosa Beach. At the May 12 School Board meeting, parents flooded the Board with angry emails, which the Superintendent read aloud. Parents were livid about Critical Race Theory being taught to children, and especially Atwater’s offensive teaching methods. Coincidentally, Atwater was also there to give a presentation to the Board.
The Board members were very condescending to the parents’ concerns, and simply called them “fearful.” “I encourage the community to come together on this, so they’ll become more comfortable,” one Board member said. Atwater, true to her Marxist roots, described this process as a “journey” and quoted Lenin, saying that it would be, “two steps forward, one step back.” The Board then thanked Atwater for her “great definition of leadership” in this matter. It was like spitting in the face of the worried parents.
At the May 12 School Board meeting, the Superintendent (bottom) reads the angry emails to the Board members - and the public.
During the May 12 Board meeting, some Hermosa Beach residents and parents raised concern over the school district hiring a consultant, Dr. Sheri Atwater … Our goal as educators, and I believe as a school community, is to ensure that school is a place where opportunities are available for all students, regardless of label … Dr. Atwater is working with staff to support our goal to meet the needs of all students.
But parents weren’t buying it.
The video goes viral – and makes international news!
Over the next few weeks, the parent’s video of Atwater went viral around the world.
On May 17, The College Fix did an article exposing it. Then on May 21, Laura Ingraham did a scathing commentary on it during her national Fox News TV show. (Note: The video of that segment is not accessible, only the transcript and a screenshot.)
Laura Ingraham brought the story across America!
The following day, the Daily Mail out of the United Kingdom did an article on Ingraham’s coverage.
... Then it reached Europe!
It was wonderful! People from across the United States – and beyond – became focused on what Hermosa Beach was about to do to their young students.
A victory!
A few days after that, it was quietly reported that Dr. Sheri Atwater had decided not to take the job. On May 27 the Superintendent sent out this email:
As I shared last week, the Board of Education received public comment that raised concern over the school district hiring a consultant, Dr. Sheri Atwater. Dr. Atwater was hired to facilitate staff discussions and professional development around HBCSD's emphasis on equity and inclusion.
Unfortunately, a national cable news outlet and other online media continued to broadcast a short video clip of Dr. Atwater speaking in an Equity Task Force meeting, the video purposely edited to misconstrue her message and meaning in a long, thoughtful conversation. This misinformation attracted national debate and because of it, Dr. Atwater has experienced concerns for her safety and well-being, also affecting her core professional responsibilities as a professor with Loyola Marymount University. As a consequence, she has decided to not move forward as an external consultant for HBCSD.
This is very disingenuous - but par for the course for dishonest school officials. The video did not "misconstrue her message and meaning." Anyone watching her entire frightening remarks would would see that it was a very fair representation. It's also insulting to suggest that she would have to fear for her safety. It sounds like she wants to be "safe" from having to explain herself to parents!
In any case, parents are breathing a sigh of relief that she's gone. It is a huge psychological victory against this arrogant School Board. But there’s still work to do. The whole Critical Race Theory train needs to be derailed in Hermosa Beach. We’re going to help them work on that.
Final thoughts
It’s a common situation where parents see what’s going on and are very upset, but don’t do anything about it. MassResistance is proud that Arthur Schaper was able to inspire the parents to act – and equip them with tactics.
A few of the parents made a point of thanking us for that! One mother said:
Arthur helped inspire the team to go after the School Board. We would not have been following exactly what was going in the school district if Arthur had strongly encouraged us to do that. He gave the Hermosa Beach activists tips and directions on what to do to take on the School Board: reach out to residents, write emails, file FOIA requests, and more!
Another local resident wrote us:
I wish to tell you how much I admire the work of Arthur Schaper. I will tell you up front that in the beginning, I was not a fan. What I discovered after some time was that Arthur had the courage of his convictions and over time I switched to being a fan. Slowly he changed my mind and I began to admire him.
Most recently, Arthur said in a polite way that I was not stepping up. I had my reasons for not stepping up, but I thought about what he said. The end result was that I did finally step up in my own way. It was because of Arthur that I mustered the courage to speak up.
Please give Arthur a pat on the back for his efforts. His work is not going unnoticed in my tiny community of Hermosa Beach, CA.
We’re thrilled that MassResistance was able to make a difference!
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

Rumble: Nickelodeon has gone full woke in their latest video aimed at young children featuring a drag queen teaching kids about race-baiting LGBTQ politics.
"Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people because every letter in LGBTQ plus is equal. And Black and Brown represent the queer and trans people of color."
Children are far from immune to the leftist obsession with melanin, genitalia, and sexual orientation.
Nickelodeon has gone full woke in their latest video aimed at young children featuring a drag queen teaching kids about race-baiting LGBTQ politics. In April, Nickelodeon featured a video teaching young children about “environmental racism” as a part of “systemic racism”.
Nickelodeon is quite content to use a hard left activist and Drag queen Nina West, who is not shy on social media about bashing President Trump or Republicans in general.
“The ‘pride month’ video is not Nickelodeon’s only promotion of transgenderism to children. The previous week, Blue’s Clues & Youput out a singalong video, also featuring Nina West, where cartoon animals of eclectic “queer” demographics participate in a pride parade.
The children’s network has also cast its first-ever openly transgender teenage actor in a live-action show, Sasha A. Cohen, who will be featured in Nickelodeon’s the series Danger Force.”
Children are far from immune to the leftist obsession with melanin, genitalia, and sexual orientation. Do not think your children will find solace elsewhere. As reported at Fox, the Cartoon Network is also indoctrinating kids:
“Cartoon Network is celebrating LGBTQIA+ kids and families who radiate joy, inclusivity and authentic self-expression,” a narrator says. At one point, a child who goes by the name of “Jax” explains that they use “he/they pronouns.”
The Cartoon Network thanked “amazing partners” Collage and San Diego Pride, who work with young LGBTQI+ children. Here are two tweets from each of the organizations who serve as “partners” to the Cartoon Network:
Singing about the colors in the Pride flag, Nina West serenades young children in part:
“Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people because every letter in LGBTQ plus is equal. And Black and Brown represent the queer and trans people of color.”

Zelenko Protocol discoverer Dr. Vladimir Zev Zelenko MD today called child vaccine mandates “coercive human experimentation,” calling for those responsible for such policies to be tried for “crimes against humanity.”
“According to the CDC, healthy kids 18 or younger have a 99.998% rate of recovery from COVID-19 WITHOUT any treatment,” Zelenko told America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS). “There is NO medical necessity for any vaccines. Especially, an experimental and unapproved mRNA injection that has shown to have many dangerous side effects.”
He continued: “Any government or individual that forces or mandates children to get this experimental injection is in direct violation of the Geneva convention’s prohibition against coercive human experimentation.
“These are criminals of the highest order and must be brought to justice for crimes against humanity.”
Dr. Zelenko has accused the government of the State of Israel of using “coercion against its own citizens to force them into human experimentation,” urging a halt to the campaign.
“The Israeli government uses coercion against its own citizens to force them into human experimentation,” he said. “Green passports are a tool of discrimination and exert an unconscionable amount of psychological pressure on innocent people.
“Informed consent has been disregarded and medical necessity is not considered. Therefore, young and healthy people and those who already have antibodies are still being forced into an experimental medical intervention that they do not need.”
He continued: “Israeli government – stop shooting microscopic missiles into the bodies of your innocent and non-consenting citizens.
“Proceed with caution, stop human experimentation, and gather more safety and efficacy data BEFORE using new and unapproved technology.”
Dr. Zelenko has been included in a group of doctors nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in addressing the coronavirus pandemic.
He achieved worldwide prominence for treating COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine and zinc, finding that mortality dropped 8-fold with use of those two substances. He says treatment with hydroxychloroquine and zinc within the first 5 days reduces death rates by 85%.

(Natural News) In order to attend their prom this year, senior students at Exeter High School in New Hampshire were required to get marked and tracked based on their Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination” status as part of some bizarre Tony Fauci mass worship ritual.
According to reports, non-jabbed students at the school were forcibly “numbered” with Sharpie markers like cattle, and followed around throughout the evening by snitches who apparently tried to observe whether or not the Chinese Virus was floating around their bodies.
Like some kind of scene out of a Holocaust movie, unvaccinated prom attendees were intentionally humiliated and treated like social pariahs as school officials made a visibly uncomfortable display in response to their presence.
Every three songs, unvaccinated students were told they needed to stop dancing, disengage from their partner, and raise up their arm “tattoo” so they could be identified and logged for contact tracing purposes.
“They also left the list of student names (first and last) with the info on whether they were vaccinated or not on a table outside after the prom,” reported New Hampshire Rep. Melissa Litchfield, quoting a constituent who informed her about the disturbing details.
“I found it the next morning. This information should 1. Not have been shared and 2. Should never be left where anyone can have access to it. I have a photo of the list.”
Exeter High School violated HIPAA protections
Another constituent told Litchfield that she was appalled how the children were treated, likening it to fascist regimes of the past that treated the “undesirables” like second-class citizens.
“Marking them, thus singling them out, and then having to raise their hands is beyond tolerable,” this person said.
“First, the school could be looking at lawsuits for violation of [HIPAA] rights. They have no business asking for a vaccine card … last Thursday masks were no longer required outside and if this is in effect it should not have mattered if they were vaccinated or not.”
Litchfield is asking others to come forward with their stories so she can look into the matter further. Apparently, there has been “much talk” at the state level concerning state residents being asked for vaccination status.
Perhaps the worst part is that Exeter students and their parents were not told beforehand that unvaccinated students would be tagged and tracked throughout the evening.
“The kids were told it was optional to provide a copy of their vaccine card,” another parent reported. “When they showed up at prom check-in they were marked and had a number written on them in black Sharpie if they were not vaccinated.”
“Those that were vaccinated had a different color mark and no number assigned to them. Underclassmen were given the role of writing the numbers down on the dance floor. After every 3-4 dances kids were asked to raise their hands so the underclassmen could record the numbers.”
The school did, however, threaten students beforehand that if they tested “positive” for Chinese Germs in the week leading up to prom, that they would not be able to participate and would “miss graduation and all their senior week activities per the school’s contact tracing policy.”
“It is not right that kids are feeling pressured from peers, school and government to get vaccinated,” another parent said. “Kids should not feel they need to get the vaccination or they will potentially ‘miss out’ on events. It is a personal choice and should remain that.”
“It has become a way to separate and cull out those that won’t follow along – it’s a scary, slippery slope and I guess I hope that if attention is brought to it, people might think twice about whether we want to start down that slope or not.”
So much for “live free or die,” which is New Hampshire’s state motto.

“Wokeness Now Indoctrinating Your Kids Through Kellogg’s Breakfast Cereal”
By Olivia Cavallaro Christianity Daily (not affiliated with Christianity Today)
Just six days ago, Kellogg’s limited edution “Together with Pride” cereal hit store shelves all over the U.S. painting them purple to signify the company’s latest collaboration with GLAAD or the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation media monitoring organization.
The purple-themed breakfast cereal box comes with the tagline, “boxes are for cereal, not people,” which encourages kids and kids at heart to explore one’s identity. But not all people are happy with this new initiative.
The Western Journal, via WND, accused Kellogg of selling “moral rot and perversion” to children whose households have the brand’s products as staples. The accusation is that Kellogg’s has “sexualized its cereal box” with this new initiative that aims to “create opportunities for homes and families to have conversations about the importance of acceptance, compassion and understanding, especially when it comes to LGBTQ+ youth,” as explained by GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement.
