On July 21, 2024, The Human Rights Campaign Endorsed Kamala Harris For President. (Brandon Wolf, “Human Rights Campaign Joins President Biden In Endorsing Kamala Harris For President,” Human Rights Campaign, 7/21/24)
IT'S YOUR FAMILY.
NOT THEIRS.
CARL MARLINGA & KAMALA HARRIS DON'T GET IT.
Rochester Community Schools Failed To Provide “Substantive Materials” Regarding The Schools’ Ethnic And Gender Studies Course. “She sued Rochester Community Schools last year after it failed to provide her any substantive materials in response to a FOIA request about a school’s course on the History of Ethnic and Gender Studies. Rochester schools argued teachers are not covered by FOIA because they are not members of the administration, ‘but instead are employees and members of a bargaining unit represented by the Michigan Education Association, and therefore not members of a public body.’” (Kaitlyn Buss, “BUSS: FOIA Should Include Teachers, Too,” The Detroit News, 3/8/23)

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MICHIGAN?
Some school officials right here in Michigan want to stop parents from getting information about their own children. See for yourself:

The Parents “Stumbled Upon” Materials From The Ethnic And Genders Studies Class On Social Media Prompting A Request For More Information From The School About The Course. “What happened? Last August, I was casually browsing social media and stumbled upon a teacher's post, which featured reference materials for a new "Ethnic and Gender Studies" class at the local high schools. The books immediately raised questions, but I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. So, I reached out to get more information. While my kids are years away from being able to take this class, I wanted to learn more about what’s coming their way.” (Carol Beth Litkouhi, OPINION: “Why I’m Suing My Kids’ School District,” FoxNews, 4/27/22)
The Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Director “Was In Charge Of Training The Teachers In Charge Of The Class.” “The teacher instructed me to contact the district’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Director, who was in charge of training the teachers in charge of the class. I did so, but she evaded my questions. The Secondary Director of Education offered to share material with me, but all I received was a one-page course outline, a teacher training PowerPoint, and a lesson plan filled with "ice breakers" for the first two weeks of school. I also wrote to our school board and superintendent, but heard nothing back. And I repeatedly asked administrators for information that should have been readily available, such as course materials and student assignments. But after several weeks of trying to get answers, I received nothing of substance.” (Carol Beth Litkouhi, OPINION: “Why I’m Suing My Kids’ School District,” Fox News, 4/27/22)

BUSS: "FOIA Should Include Teachers, Too,” The Detroit News, 3/8/23
The Michigan Education Association Shielded Teachers In Preventing Parents From Obtaining Information About What Their Children Were Being Taught. “It's understandable that districts and the Michigan Education Association want to protect teachers from needless heckling or being buried in paperwork. But they are government employees, and taxpayers have a fundamental right to know how they are carrying out their jobs. If teachers won't offer up the information — and it's clear not all of them will — the law needs to compel them to provide it.” (Kaitlyn Buss, “BUSS: FOIA Should Include Teachers, Too,” The Detroit News, 3/8/23)
CITATIONS
NAVY VETERAN.
PROBLEM SOLVER.
COMMUNITY LEADER.
Planned Parenthood: supports gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries. They claim that gender affirming care is healthcare, and even support gender-affirming care for kids.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Carl Marlinga and Kamala Harris are backed by groups that want to allow school officials to medicate students so they can change genders... without even informing the parents.
It’s extreme, but here’s the proof.
PUBERTY BLOCKERS FOR CHILDREN?
OPPOSING THE PARENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS?
This is as radical as it gets.
These groups endorse those who align with their agenda.
Would you trust a candidate who supports puberty blockers for your kids and opposes your right to know about it?
BIRDS OF A FEATHER..
Human Rights Campaign: supports puberty blockers for children, and even shared an article promoting “kids transitioning.” They even condemned a bill that prohibited school administrators from providing gender affirming medication or health services to students without parental consent or knowledge.

The Parents’ Bill Of Rights Prohibited School Administrators From Providing Gender Affirming Medication Or Health Services To Students Without Parental Consent Or Knowledge. “Require that schools receive permission from parents before administering health services to students. Parents or caregivers must give permission for public school employees to administer medication or provide counseling to students under age 18. Teachers and administrators may not withhold information from parents about a student’s decision to assume a different gender, nor may educators administer medication to students without the approval of a child’s parent or guardian. Reports continue to surface that some public-school leaders are allowing students to assume a different gender or change their pronouns without parental input. In such cases, parents must be the decision-makers. Obviously, school leaders must act on a child’s behalf in a medical emergency or if a child’s life is threatened—but such instances must be the exception and not a regular part of school programs and activities.” (Jonathan Butcher And Lindsey Burke, “Protecting Children And Families With Parents’ Bills Of Rights,” The Heritage Foundation, 4/11/22)

In May 2023, The Michigan Education Association President Called The Parents’ Bill Of Rights Bills Across The Country “Extreme.” “The Parents Bill of Rights Act passed by House Republicans this spring was intended to be a centerpiece of the party’s agenda, not to mention a source of endless attack ads against Democrats who voted against it. Instead, GOP leaders rushed to distance the bill from the growing right-wing push to ban books. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee, pointed out that the bill, which includes a new federal requirement that parents receive a list of every book on offer in the school library and be notified regarding the bathrooms used by transgender students, didn’t actually say anything about banning books. The legislation, her colleague Chip Roy from Texas insisted, ‘just ensure[s] that parents know what’s in the libraries and what’s in the curriculum. It does nothing more.’ In Michigan and other key swing states, ‘the extreme language fell really flat,’ says Paula Herbart, president of the Michigan Education Association, which represents about 120,000 teachers, education support professionals, and higher-education employees. She points to a special election in western Michigan last spring for a seat that had previously only ever been held by a Republican. Former teacher Carol Glanville upset the GOP candidate—a parental rights advocate who wanted to abolish the state’s compulsory education law.” (Jennifer C. Berkshire, “How To Fight The Right’s Moral Panic Over Parental Rights,” The Nation, 5/23/23)
