The illegal LGBTQ chat portal from Kathy Hoffman must be addressed and AZ test scores are are terrible levels.

Last week an injunction was filed against Arizona's Superintendent of Public Instruction, Kathy Hoffman, due to an online chat space on the Arizona Department of Education website that violates ARS 1-602 Arizona Parental Rights. The Chat room is QueerChat, commonly referred to as Q-Chat. This Chat room is directed to young children in the LBGTQ community aged 13-19. However, there is no verification process for the user's age. Generic themes like Pokeman, Marvel comics, and Spider-Man lure kids in to attract visitors to the site. To join the chat room, the child must answer personal questions about their sexual orientation and gender identity while inputting personal information such as their date of birth, email, cell number, and other confidential information. Q-Chat is a sexual predator's dream because the children are encouraged to chat with unlicensed adults regarding hypersexual topics. One of the organizations behind Q-Chat is Planned Parenthood, which has become more aggressive in gender transition "services" to minors. This is an attack on our children and our families. Support the show

Season 2, Episode 9 of a View from the Left Side focuses on our country's epidemic of gun violence. My opening commentary, recorded on June 1, 2022, refers to the mass shootings at a Buffalo, New York grocery store and at the Uvalde, Texas elementary school. There have been more since then, most notably the Highland Park. Illinois Fourth of July Parade mass shooting. There have been more than 300 mass shootings in the US in 2022, according to the Washington Post. Mass shootings are when four or more people -- besides the shooter -- are killed or injured in the same incident. Mass shootings are averaging one per day in 2022, and there have been no weeks in 2022 without a mass shooting, according to the Post. This is not a well-regulated militia. This is a country more privately owned weapons than people. Following my commentary outlining common sense gun violence prevention legislation proposed by Arizona Democrats is the March for Our Lives Press Conference in the Rose Garden at the Arizona Capitol.On June 1, 2022, March for Our Lives Phoenix hosted a press conference calling for Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Legislature to take action on common sense gun violence prevention legislation.Jacob Martinez, March for Our Lives Phoenix organizer, gave opening remarks and introduced Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, Democratic House Minority Leader Reginald Bolding, and Senate Minority Leader Rebecca Rios. Hoffman talked about her School Safety Task Force, which she funded with $21 million in COVID funds; the Legislature has still not acted on this March for Our Lives request from 2019. Bolding discussed Red Flag laws and other popular Democratic proposals to stop senseless gun violence. Unfortunately, the Legislative "majority", which represents minority of Arizona voters, is loyal to the gun lobby and their campaign donations. Time StampsSeason 2, Episode 9 Introduction  | 0:50Rep.
