The youth organizations in which I am involved require training to recognize when a child is being groomed. DHS raises almost all of the red flags…especially the secrecy!

Excellent point! Govt grooming. The lack of transparency is so concerning.

OKDHS is evil and should be broken into little pieces

My goal for 2025-2026 school year is encouraging parents to use an opt-out letter that contains the elements of INFORMED parental consent

Good move. With policies overriding law, parents should walk around with proof of their rights, especially in govt schools.

Thank you for calling public schools for what they are, government schools

Using the right terminology may one day open peoples eyes.

Words have worked against truth for too long. Agree we should use them with fidelity. Thanks for reading!

Prior to school opening I made available a comprehensive opt-out letter for parents & guardians to use to protect their children. You can find it iin my article on substack. Also parents must teach their children self-advocacy. Oklahoma Health Care Authority & OSDE & State Superintendent finalized the implementation of SBHC which includes school based social workers providing assessments, diagnosis, and mental health therapy which covers gender affirming care. Also school based social workers will be involved with the parents and home visits
