Main Focus Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis and the state Surgeon General, announced plans to eliminate all mandatory vaccination requirements, including those for children in public schools. This would make Florida the first U.S. state to fully withdraw vaccine mandates, representing a sharp departure from decades of public health policy. Arguments Presented Skepticism toward public health institutions: Ben argues that the CDC and medical authorities “lied” about COVID-19 measures (masks, distancing, vaccine effectiveness). Because of this, many Americans no longer trust these institutions. Parental Rights vs. Government Mandates: Florida’s decision is framed as empowering parents to make medical choices for their children rather than allowing the federal government to dictate them. Supporters view this as a matter of bodily autonomy, parental choice, and medical freedom. Criticism of the Opposition: Sources claim “liberals” and medical groups oppose the repeal because they want more government control. It portrays media outlets and health professionals as fearmongering about the risks of removing mandates. Counterpoints & Concerns Highlighted Medical Community Response: Organizations like the American Medical Association warn that removing vaccine mandates could undermine decades of progress and lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases (measles, polio, whooping cough). Public health experts stress the immense global and U.S. benefits of vaccines, citing millions of lives saved. Political & Public Debate: Florida Democrats and doctors argue the move poses a grave public health risk. There is emphasis on how outbreaks could affect schools and vulnerable groups.

Karen England is the Executive Director of the Capitol Resource Institute. They educate and strengthen families and engage in public policy. There have been numerous attempts to usurp parental authority here in the U.S. through the years and Crosstalk has kept listeners informed regarding such efforts. This Crosstalk looked at another such threat that's coming from the state of California. The concern deals with an act proposed by the California Assembly. It's AB495, the so-called Family Preparedness Plan Act. Karen describes it as the "Pedophile Protection Act," something that redefines the family by, for example, expanding the definition of what a relative is. This legislation is being sold as a way to help immigrant children. However, Karen described how it would allow anyone to print off a caregiver's authorization (including the child's name), sign it, check a box indicating you weren't able to get a hold of the child's parents and that you assert all medical, mental and schooling authority over that child. According to the legislation, no parental signature is needed. Although this is California legislation, this would also affect children traveling to California as well. This legislation is thought to be dangerous by some individuals and organizations. For example, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) says this puts parental rights at risk. California Families says this will bypass and sidestep parents. Save California indicates that this strips parents of their parental rights and allows for kids to be stolen from their parents. The Center for Arizona Policy warns that this would produce legalized child trafficking.

When Brandon and Whitney Cawood's three-year-old son was expelled from daycare for aggressive behavior, they faced a crossroads that would change not only their lives but potentially millions of others. Rather than accepting the psychiatric diagnoses being pushed on them, they discovered something shocking: their son's severe behavioral issues weren't psychological at all—they were chemical reactions to synthetic food dyes hiding in his daily allergy medication and antibiotics.Within 48 hours of removing these petroleum-based chemicals from his diet, they met their real son for the first time. This revelation launched them on a journey that would lead to creating the documentary "To Dye For," building a community of nearly one million parents, and influencing legislation across multiple states.To Dye For Documentary Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Christians should give thanks for a “Christian” outcome in a judicial dispute over a particular parental right, but I believe that is not enough. I believe the end or telos of a Christian view of law would strive to restore in law parental rights as an authority delegated by God with a prescribed jurisdiction give for certain ends—”godly offspring” (Malachi 2:15). Today I explain the legislative proposal I offered Tennessee’s legislature that would moved law in that direction.

In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News, sits down with Emily Jones, Director of Moms for Liberty Alabama, to discuss pressing issues in education, parental rights, and conservative activism in the state. Jones, who is also running for the Alabama State School Board against incumbent Wayne Reynolds, shares her passion for empowering parents and combating bureaucratic overreach. The conversation kicks off with the recent medical age of consent legislation, which raised the threshold from 14 to 16 despite fierce opposition from medical associations and state health departments. Jones highlights hidden gems in the bill, effective Oct. 1, prohibiting schools from providing mental health counseling, suicide prevention, or bullying programs to children 16 and under without parental consent. This addresses loopholes allowing ideological indoctrination, such as LGBTQ-related discussions, and calls for urgent updates to state education standards by board members like Kelly Mooney and Alan Long. Dawson and Jones then delve into the FOCUS Act, a new law banning cell phones and wireless devices in classrooms to enhance student focus and academic performance. Jones defends it against parental rights critiques, citing studies linking device access to rising anxiety, depression, and distractions. Drawing from Jonathan Haidt's The Coddling of the American Mind, she argues that removing screens for school hours benefits mental health and learning, while respecting family choices outside class. Throughout, they emphasize building conservative coalitions to advance bold policies, celebrating wins like school choice despite imperfections, and urging parents to reclaim responsibility from government entities. Jones recounts Moms for Liberty events, including a successful fundraiser with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene amid protests, and stresses civic engagement amid Alabama's "red state" challenges.

On "The Tara Show," the host discusses the president's federal takeover of law enforcement in Washington, D.C., and his declaration of a public safety emergency. The host asserts that the city's high crime rates are a direct result of "Marxist" policies and that the D.C. government has actively engaged in lying to cover up the consequences. He presents an NBC News report that confirms a police commander is under investigation for manipulating crime statistics to give the false impression that crime is decreasing. The show then shifts to what the host sees as a growing threat to parental rights, using a new Illinois law as a key example. The law mandates annual mental health screenings for students from third to twelfth grade. The host warns that this is a "brilliant" ploy by Democrats to get between parents and children, promoting a specific agenda and creating a pathway for the state to intervene in family matters. The segment connects the policy to former Attorney General Merrick Garland through his son-in-law, who is the CEO of a mental health screening company. The host concludes by arguing that these policies are part of a national effort by the Democratic party to gain control over families and children.

The host discusses the president's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., where he has declared a public safety emergency and appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi to take command of the Metropolitan Police Department, and Terry Cole as the interim federal commissioner. The host links the city's high crime rates, which he claims are higher than those in Bogota and Mexico City, to "Marxist" policies allegedly pushed by Democrats. The episode features an NBC News report revealing that a D.C. police commander is under investigation for manipulating crime statistics to make it appear as though violent crime has fallen. The chairman of the police union confirms this, alleging that officers are being instructed by supervisors to reclassify felonies as lesser offenses to create a misleading picture of public safety. The show then pivots to the erosion of parental rights, focusing on a new Illinois law that mandates annual mental health screenings for students from third to twelfth grade. The host expresses concern that this policy is a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between parents and children, promoting a specific ideology and potentially leading to children being removed from their homes. He also claims that the push for these mental health screenings is financially motivated, with a connection to a company whose CEO is the son-in-law of former Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Navigating the legal maze of child support and custody can feel impossible... especially when the system seems stacked against you. Picasso Cognizance learned this the hard way when his partner's family took his son away from him at the age of two. Picasso spent the next nearly two decades paying child support, immersing himself in the world of parental rights, and being ping-ponged between agencies who made no effort to help him. Picasso opens up about the emotional and legal challenges he faced when trying to regain access to his son, and shares why he started Resolute Fathers, an organization dedicated to educating other parents about how to navigate these flawed systems.Topics include:Challenges of Child Support and Custody: Picasso Cognizance shares his personal experience navigating the legal and emotional difficulties of losing custody and paying child support.The Importance of Knowing Parental Rights: Emphasis is placed on the need for parents to understand their rights, state laws, and how the system works in order to protect themselves and their relationship with their children.Emotional Toll and Resilience: The conversation highlights the emotional hardships, feelings of frustration, and the need for perseverance and hope when facing a complex family court system.Advocacy and Support: Picasso discusses his work with Resolute Fathers, aiming to educate and support parents (particularly fathers) going through similar struggles.Encouragement for Constructive Co-Parenting: The value of cooperative co-parenting without unnecessary legal intervention is underscored as a path to healthier family dynamics. After the interview, Marc shares a tender (and hilarious) story of a 7 year old with big feelings. LINKSResolute Fathers (Instagram)Who's The Daddy?

In this episode of American Potential, host David From, Regional Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, sits down with Chris and Aziza Butler, a husband-and-wife team on the frontlines of the fight to protect homeschooling freedoms in Illinois. When a bill threatened to force homeschool families to register with the state and potentially face criminal charges, the Butlers didn't just speak out—they mobilized. Aziza, a former public school teacher turned homeschool mom, and Chris, a pastor and education reform advocate, share their journey from skeptics to passionate homeschoolers. Along the way, they built a thriving micro school in Chicago's South Side—one that's transforming the lives of families looking for educational alternatives. They discuss why parent-led education matters, how community-based solutions outperform bureaucratic control, and how legislation like HB2827 threatens educational opportunity—especially in underserved communities. Their message is clear: families, not government, should be in the driver's seat. This is a powerful conversation about faith, family, freedom, and the power of ordinary people standing up to defend their rights—and the future of education.
