🚨 NEW LOOKOUT: America's schools are increasingly becoming activism academies.
From preschool race lessons to gender ideology in elementary school classrooms, students are being taught how to view the world through political activism long before many parents realize.
Some school districts treat social transition as an administrative matter.
It isn't. These are deeply consequential decisions about a child's wellbeing, and parents don't share that responsibility with schools.

A new study found that by age 17, roughly 1 in 400 girls in Oregon had been prescribed testosterone.
Children deserve evidence-based care, not irreversible medical interventions. Learn more about the hospitals driving these procedures at https://t.co/SoMLTwrWqj.
New(ish) study:
2016-2023: ~1 in 100 teens (8-17) in Oregon had a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. 3/4 were female.
23% of those with a GD Dx received medical intervention (~1/440 teens in OR ➡️ gender Rx).
By age 17, ~1/400 teen girls were on T. That’s almost 3x a recent national estimate for girls (Hughes et al., 2025).
Children don't need more screen time. They need more time being children.
Schools with cellphone restrictions are reporting calmer classrooms, stronger student engagement, and more face-to-face interaction among students.
As more states move to restrict student cellphone use during the school day, early evidence from schools already enforcing similar policies suggests the biggest changes may be happening outside of test scores.

A new report highlighted by Axios finds children's wellbeing has declined nationally, with education seeing some of the steepest drops.
Reading and math proficiency fell in 47 states. We can't afford to treat academic decline as the new normal.

For years, parents have been told failing schools just need more money.
Houston's recent gains suggest something else may matter more: accountability, high expectations, and a relentless focus on student achievement.
@bethanyshondark explains in @nypost:
Parents are wrapping up another school year wondering why so many students still can't read, write, or do math at grade level.
Our Executive Director @AlleighMarre takes a closer look at what one of the nation's most powerful teachers unions has been focused on instead.
🚨 VICTORY: Independent Women's Law Center helped stop the Biden admin's unlawful Title IX rewrite & defend protections for women + girls nationwide.
Truth & fairness prevailed.

“Americans have had enough of women and girls losing opportunities and being subjected to the indignity and danger of unfair competition due to the left’s warped application of [Title IX].” - @EdSecMcMahon
The business model depends on attention. Children became the target.
Internal documents show social media companies deliberately embedded themselves in students' daily lives while concerns about mental health and academic performance grew.
We don't know whether it was smartphones/social-media or edtech that was the bigger contributor to the decline in education outcomes that began in the 2010s. But new revelations show the tricks Meta, Snap, and Tiktok used to lure students during the school day.
Still more reasons to be technoskeptical

The legal dispute will continue. The facts remain.
A registered sex offender gained access to girls' locker rooms under policies that prioritize gender identity over biological reality. https://t.co/G3Dd7wvehJ
🚨Children underwent irreversible medical interventions while activists insisted the science was settled.
Now, the evidence behind those claims is unraveling.
This isn't an isolated incident.
We've documented cases across the country where boys have been allowed to compete in girls' sports or access girls' private spaces. Explore our map:

The debate has never been about participation.
It's about whether girls should lose opportunities, titles, and recognition because adults refuse to acknowledge biological reality.
"AB" Hernandez finished the season ranked #4 in the entire nation compared to girls in the triple jump.
Compared to other boys, he was tied for #3,053 with 15 other boys.
Academic performance is falling. Education spending is soaring. Parents are left wondering what happened.
