The CARE Act is "model legislation" created by the Alliance Defending Freedom, an anti-abortion, conservative Christian legal advocacy group. The Wyoming bill says that pregnancy centers, many of which are affiliated with religious organizations, need legal protection after facing "unprecedented attacks" following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The Palo Alto Unified School District is in the middle of at least 11 different lawsuits, including cases that allege unchecked bullying, racist attacks, injured students, inadequate special education and retaliation by district leadership.

Once the largest college in the country, it saw enrollment dwindle over the past 15 years after it and several other large for-profit schools came under fire for allegedly misleading prospective students and using illegal recruitment tactics to boost enrollment. But now the university is staging a comeback, partly with help from Washington.

Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate's 2020 audit of Maricopa County. The FBI has the records.

What makes the program tricky is that it blurs the party lines on school choice. It's not a traditional voucher. But opposition to any school choice policy is deeply ingrained for many Democrats. If governors opt in to the program, tax dollars will go toward private school tuition for children in their states, something many Democrats are uncomfortable with.

The parents object that these policies prevent schools from telling them about their children's efforts to engage in gender transitioning at school unless the children consent to parental notification. The parents also take issue with California's requirement that schools use children's preferred names and pronouns regardless of their parents' wishes.

In a statement released by Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Wednesday, she accused CDE of "egregiously" abusing its authority by "pressuring school officials to withhold information about students' so-called 'gender transitions' from their parents." "Children do not belong to the State-they belong to families," she added. "We will use every available mechanism to hold California accountable for these practices and restore parental rights."

The investigations will determine if LGBTQ+ content, which the department describes as 'sexual orientation and gender ideology (SOGI) content', is included in any classes for grades pre-K-12 and if the schools have notified parents of their right to opt their children out. Further to this, the DOJ investigation will assess whether the three school districts restrict access to single-sex spaces based on 'biological sex'.

The freeze applies to the "Child Care and Development Fund" worth $2.4 billion (2.2 billion), the "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families" worth $7.35 billion and the "Social Services Block Grant" worth $869 million. HHS said it had notified the five states and that they would require extra documentation to access the funds. The New York Post was the first to report the funding freeze for certain social services on Monday, citing unnamed federal officials that expressed "concerns that the benefits were fraudulently funneled to non-citizens."

The mother of a transgender child has said she was forced to home-school him after the government's controversial sex education guidance posed "safeguarding concerns". The seven-year-old trans boy was reportedly removed from public education after being subjected to "inhuman" statements about his gender identity during lessons. Speaking exclusively to PinkNews, the parent, who wished to remain anonymous, said she received "zero support" from staff at the school despite making numerous complaints about safeguarding concerns.

As The Advocate reports, this week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education and the Trump administration over its threat to withhold $4.9 billion in annual federal education funding unless the state allows local school districts to notify parents of students' social gender transitions, which would violate California law. Last month, U.S. Department of Education (ED)
