🎉 VICTORY: Pro-life sidewalk counselors show up on public sidewalks to offer hope, help, and real alternatives. Clearwater, Florida passed a law to stop them. We sued. Now, a federal judge has permanently blocked the city from ever enforcing it again. 🔗 hubs.la/Q047nxsC0

ANOTHER LOSS FOR CALIFORNIA: Last night, the 9th Circuit rejected the state's emergency bid to circumvent the Supreme Court's landmark parental rights ruling in Mirabelli v. Bonta. “The Supreme Court recognized that parents are the primary protectors of their children’s safety and well-being. Today’s order confirms that California cannot use the Ninth Circuit as a backdoor to rewrite that holding.” — @peterbreen Details here: thomasmoresociety.org/news/9th-circu…

Cases involving parental rights and gender ideology continue to make their way through the courts. The Supreme Court stepped in this week in Mirabelli v. Bonta. The lead plaintiffs, California educators represented by the @ThomasMoreSoc, on the Court’s per curiam opinion: "The debate over parental rights in public schools continues to rage across the country, and the Court has signaled that further issues in this arena will probably come before it." nationalreview.com/2026/03/califo…

Understand this: The school these teachers were at had SEVEN students in ONE GRADE on ONE CAMPUS being socially transitioned. Of those, at least 4 had parents who were being deceived. A girl was being transitioned to "he/it". One had divorced parents, so the school inserted itself into this family's trauma and took one side. I interviewed another teacher from EUSD (the district against which this suit originated). She had other teachers actively recruit students to a GSA-type club outside her classroom door because they knew she disagreed with the these reprehensible policies. Which teacher got punished? SHE did. She finally had to move to another school though she'd received a religious exemption from this policy. These were cruel policies, separating suffering kids from the support and love their parents had to offer them; inserting institutions between children and their God-given caregivers. These policies bound the conscience of teachers who knew not only that they were lying, but that their students were suffering without the support of their loving parents. There are countless families who have been harmed by these policies, but also countless teachers and fellow students to these gender confused kids -- not to mention the harm to the kids themselves! SCOTUS made the right decision here. I am so thankful for the Thomas More Society, Mirabelli and West -- the brave teachers who started this suit, and the countless others who joined to ask that this rank injustice against California's family come to an end. Thank God it went to the Supreme Court -- so that other states would take note and know that the time for these unconstitutional policies is at an end. FINALLY.

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court just handed a historic victory to parents over California's secret gender transition policies today, ruling 6-2 in our case Mirabelli v. Bonta. DECISION AND REACTIONS: thomasmoresociety.org/news/u-s-supre… California required schools to secretly facilitate children's gender transitions without telling parents. Teachers were forced to use different names and pronouns behind parents' backs. One family only found out their daughter had been transitioning at school after she attempted suicide. Today the Court said: enough. The justices found that California's secrecy regime likely violates both the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment's protection of parental rights. The Court held that California "cut out the primary protectors of children's best interests: their parents." What makes this decision groundbreaking: the Court reaffirmed that parents—not the state—have the constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children and to participate in decisions about their children's mental health. Even Justice Kagan in dissent said she has "no doubt" parents have these rights and that California "could have crossed the constitutional line." The class-wide injunction blocking California's policies is back in effect for a statewide class of parents. This is a historic just a win for parents and a precedent that puts every secret gender transition policy in America on notice. @PaulJonna @peterbreen

Secret transition policies are a scourge on our nation’s schools—harming children, betraying parents, and coercing teachers in thousands of districts across America. @ADFLegal has been fighting these policies in court for years. So we are thrilled to see today’s per curiam opinion by the U.S. Supreme Court in Mirabelli v. Bonta, where parents challenged the draconian policies in Gavin Newsom’s California. A few key takeaways from the opinion: - It indicates that California’s policies are not likely to survive the strict scrutiny demanded by Mahmoud (which protects religious parents). - It extends this reasoning to parents who assert due process rights (protecting non-religious parents)—citing longstanding parental rights precedents like Pierce and Meyer. - It acknowledges the reality that gender dysphoria has “an important bearing on a child’s mental health”—and that policies like California’s “facilitate a degree of gender tran­sitioning during school hours,” which is concealed from parents in violation of our history and tradition of protecting parental rights. Today’s order restores immediate sanity to this situation in California as the case proceeds—and restores hope to American parents more broadly. We’re extremely grateful for this significant victory. We congratulate our friends at @ThomasMoreSoc for their excellent work in litigating this case so far. We hope the Court’s next step will be to grant our pending cert petition in Foote v. Ludlow School Committee.

Fantastic! A victory for vulnerable children and for parental rights. Another brutal loss for Gavin Newsom and his radical allies.
