Protect Minnesota Kids Act

Did you know? For criminal sexual conduct (CSC) involving a child under the age of 13, data shows that in most Minnesota counties, offenders are being given a stay (probation) and no prison sentence 50% to 60% of the time. Some of these offenders are even receiving a stay of imposition, reducing the crime to a misdemeanor and not required to register as sex offenders.

Minnesota has effectively decriminalized child sexual abuse imagery. About 85% of predators possessing child sexual abuse imagery receive only probation. In many of the larger Minnesota counties, well over 90% receive probation.

We need to do something about this travesty and protect our children! Please find details and action items at Protect Minnesota’s Kids Act.

New Development: Drag Queen Story Hour and the ALA

The American Library Association (ALA) receives millions in federal funding. The proposed 2021 federal budget cuts funding to the library association. ALA is lobbying for continued federal funding. “ALA encourages everyone—library workers and library lovers alike—to email their members of Congress today and urge them to protect library funding in FY 2021.”

Any public funding needs to come with strong prohibitions against sponsoring and promoting LGBT and Drag Queen events. We, too, need contact our federal legislators and urge them to stop funding the ALA! Find your legislators at Who Represents Me?

Is Your Child Unsafe at the Doctor’s Office? Invasive Teen Questionnaire

A new HealthPartner’s policy is being implemented that requires clinicians to administer a 23-question health questionnaire to all pre-teens and teens… and it is to be answered only by the adolescent. After the adolescent fills out the questionnaire, the parent will then be asked to leave the child alone with the clinician so the clinician can engage the child “one-on-one” about the answers and personal concerns. We have questions! Read the details in Is Your Child Unsafe at the Doctor’s Office?, review the Questionnaire (PDF), and Action Steps you can take.

Appointees Insert Mandatory ‘Social Justice’ into Teacher Licensing

Newly appointed members of a new MN teacher licensing agency are overriding legislators to force an extremist ‘social justice’ agenda on teachers and classrooms. To be licensed in Minnesota, teachers will now be subjected to intense indoctrination on white privilege, male privilege, how-all-whites-are-inherently-racist, how-all-men-are-inherently-sexist, how-gender-is-a-choice, that all must embrace Islam, embrace LGBT, and embrace gender pronouns.

Despite Strong Opposition “Toolkit” Passed

A “Toolkit’ was passed July 19, 2017 by an unelected, governor appointed committee “the Thought Enforcement Center” (commonly known as SSTAC) of the MN Department of Education despite strong opposition from parents and the public. Part of the “Ensure Safe and Supportive Schools for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students” ideology, it’s not just about bathrooms and locker rooms. It’s about indoctrination into gender ideology. The pronoun mandate is the most dangerous part of the Toolkit.

MN School Districts can and must reject the Toolkit’s recommended policies. Find details and what you can do to help stop the madness at The “Toolkit” Agenda.

Shop Till You Drag: A Mall Drag Show

First it was Drag Queen Storytime at the libraries. Now it is Drag Shows at the mall. Yes, Rosedale Mall is advertising a “Shop Till You Drag: A Mall Drag Show” on a Sunday afternoon, May 19, 2019. Parents, is this what you want your children exposed to as you walk innocently through a mall? Women, this a mockery of women. Do you want women depicted in this manner?

Tell your friends and family to avoid the mall that day and send a note to the Rosedale mall management of your disapproval. The more complaints they receive, the less likely they will be to host such an event again.

Keep Your Children Home on Day of Silence


On Friday, April 12, 2019, schools all over the country will allow students and teachers to refuse to speak all day. The Day of Silence is a tool of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to force all school children, their parents, teachers and administrators to support and affirm this false and dangerous paradigm by remaining silent.

Hiding behind the banner of ‘inclusiveness’, young impressionable children are being exposed to sexual
