The explosion of LGBT-identified youth comes as many on the left and even in federal government agencies — like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — have pushed for LGBT ideologies to be hoisted upon children and teenagers.
As CBN News reported in early 2023, the CDC released materials at the time urging public school educators and administrators to embrace LGBT causes, all in the name of inclusivity. The agency provided a “self-assessment tool” to help school officials determine just how supportive they are of sexual minorities.
The self-assessment document, which the CDC says is voluntary, is posted on the agency’s website.
It encourages educators to display rainbow flags in classrooms and unisex signs in bathrooms. It also urges teachers to incorporate LGBTQ content in their lessons, use student-preferred pronouns, and attend LGBTQ training. The document also tells teachers to “describe anatomy and physiology separate from gender,” and to see students who are in locker rooms with transgender students as having misconceptions that transgender students are not “real.”
These ideas — while, on the surface, seemingly abstract — are taking real-life tolls on families.

According to CBN News, Mary and Jeremy Cox filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari last month, asking the court to review the legality of Indiana’s decision to strip them of their parental rights and pull their son, who identifies as a transgender girl, from their household over their refusal to use female names and pronouns when addressing or referring to their child.
The removal came after the Indiana Department of Child Services launched an investigation in June 2021 into the Christian parents. At the time, the state agency argued, referring to the Cox’s son, “We just feel that at this point in time, this child needs to be in a home that’s not going to teach her that trans, like everything about transgender… tell her how she should think and how she should feel. However, she should be in a home where she is (accepted) for who she is.”
“If this can happen in Indiana, it can happen anywhere,” said Lori Windham of Becket Law, the firm representing the couple. “Tearing a child away from loving parents because of their religious beliefs, which are shared by millions of Americans, is an outrage to the law, parental rights, and basic human decency.”
These Are the States Fighting on the Front Lines in the War for School Choice The Liberty Daily [Date of link: 2024/03/15(d) (The Daily Signal)—In the midst of the school choice movement’s most successful legislative season last year, The Hill asked: “School choice won big in states this year. Is the movement about to hit a wall?” ... If it did hit a wall, as the news outlet suggested, the school choice movement burst right through that wall. ... Sure, the Texas Legislature failed to enact an education choice bill last year. And last week, the state’s Republican primary voters responded by replacing numerous incumbents who oppose school choice with challengers who support it.
