Every time I read the news for the day, there is some public-school teacher being accused or arrested for molesting children like the one above.

And when they are not molesting children physically, they are warping their minds with wokeness, convincing children that they are either a victim or a victimizer due to the color of their skin. And if that were not enough, they enter the power of suggestion to these children telling them that they may not actually be a boy or a girl. In fact, whatever emotional problem that may be troubling them, it might be because you really were born as the wrong sex, causing gender confusion to skyrocket some 4000% since it has been introduced into your public school system.

And of those gender confused children, 2/3 are girls, showing us definitive proof that there are differences between males and females that we are lied too about, stating the genders are really fluid.

And if that were not enough, schools are constantly prompting students to protest Left wing issues, like protesting guns, or protesting the climate, or protesting ICE. They take children during school time and have them parade around holding signs to protest any Left wing issue that the Left wing loons in these schools want them to.

Ohio student suspended for staying in class during walkouts

HILLIARD, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school student says he tried to remain nonpolitical during school walkouts over gun violence and was suspended for a day because he stayed in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, a study hall.

Hilliard senior Jacob Shoemaker says school isn't the place for politics, and he wasn't taking sides.

The district says some students participated Wednesday in a nonpolitical memorial for Florida school shooting victims, and the alternative let non-participating students remain supervised.


Jacob's citation for not following instructions was shared online, prompting a flood of messages to his father.

Scott Shoemaker says some people thought his son was suspended for walking out, and angry comments accumulated, including some that mistook Scott for the principal. He says he also got a couple death threats.

Imagine, a student who did not want to protest or go to study hall. No, he showed up for class which was exactly where he belonged, only then to get death threats for doing so from the loony Left that governs your schools and indoctrinates the children.

And here we are, with a Republican government in all 3 branches and they are either powerless to stop it, or they could care less.

So, it is up to us now to stop it or children will continue to suffer like this.

Scale of the problem

• Firearm injuries became the #1 cause of death for ages 1–19 in the U.S.
• Thousands of children and teens die each year from gun-related injuries.
• The overall rate is about 5.9 deaths per 100,000 children (ages 1–19), though it varies widely by state.

Thanks for ignoring pretty much my entire thread. But then, I would expect nothing more from you.

But since you mentioned it, lets talk about that particular issue.

Where are the majority of these shootings happening?

Are they not in major cities?

And who runs these major cities?

Are they not democrats? Name one major city run by Republicans?

Do these cities not have full control over law enforcement and can ban guns like Chicago once did?

It seems to me that since the DNC has full control over this problem, and can do nothing about it, we have no real motivation for electing them ever again, especially when the DNC had full control over the federal government under Obama.

This is what was puzzling when Obama was in power and he complained about law enforcement targeting blacks. Well, who runs these police departments fool? That's right, democrats.

The stats MUST be adjusted to remove self-inflicted injuries. They are an entirely different phenomenon.

Legal guns stop over 1 million violent crimes in any year. Blacks create 53% of all homicide.

Suicide is the leading cause of gun deaths in the United States, consistently accounting for the majority of firearm-related fatalities annually. In 2023, approximately 58% of all gun-related deaths were suicides (

), while 38% were murders (

). While gun homicides increased significantly during the pandemic, suicides remain the primary driver of gun-related mortality.

Suicide is caused by major depression. Mental illness is the main cause of gun deaths not guns

The Trump Administration’s War on Children​

The clear-cutting across the federal government under President Donald Trump has been dramatic, with mass terminations, the suspension of decades-old programs and the neutering of entire agencies. But this spectacle has obscured a series of moves by the administration that could profoundly harm some of the most vulnerable people in the U.S.: children.

Consider: The staff of a program that helps millions of poor families keep the electricity on, in part so that babies don’t die from extreme heat or cold, have all been fired. The federal office that oversees the enforcement of child support payments has been hollowed out. Head Start preschools, which teach toddlers their ABCs and feed them healthy meals, will likely be forced to shut down en masse, some as soon as May 1. And funding for investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against children; responding to reports of missing children; and preventing youth violence has been withdrawn indefinitely.

The administration has laid off thousands of workers from coast to coast who had supervised education, child care, child support and child protective services systems, and it has blocked or delayed billions of dollars in funding for things like school meals and school safety.

The Trump Administration’s War on Children

The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Under Trump thousands of trafficked children under Biden have been rescued. Biden was the best thing that happened fir child traffickers' sand sex slaves.
Based on reports, congressional testimonies, and oversight data, the Biden-Harris administration faced significant scrutiny regarding the handling of unaccompanied migrant children (UCs), with allegations that policies led to the loss of tracking for thousands of children and increased risk of child trafficking.
Key findings based on oversight and investigations include:

• Missing/Unaccounted for Children: Data indicates that over 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children were released to sponsors in the U.S. during the Biden administration, with reports stating that the government could not account for the whereabouts of roughly 85,000–320,000 children after 30 days.
  
  
  Congressman Morgan Luttrell (.gov) +2
• Unvetted Sponsors: Between October 2020 and January 2025, over 11,000 migrant children were placed with sponsors who were not their parents or legal guardians without proper background checks or fingerprinting.
  Senate Committee on the Judiciary (.gov) +1
• Lack of Home Studies: HHS failed to conduct recommended home studies for over 79,000 migrant children under 12, disregarding regulations for ensuring child safety before release.
  Senate Committee on the Judiciary (.gov)
• Concerns of Exploitation: Reports and congressional hearings highlighted risks of these children being placed into forced labor, sex trafficking, or abusive situations, with accusations that the administration prioritized rapid release over safety.
  Center for Immigration Studies +1
• Whistleblower Reports: A report in July 2025 indicated that around 65,000 calls to a hotline for unaccompanied minors went unanswered, which included complaints of abuse.
  YouTube
• Reforms and Counter-Efforts: In February 2025, HHS launched an initiative to address suspected fraud and exploitation, following a,000-staffer increase at ICE to monitor cases (though this was deemed insufficient by critics for the high volume of cases).
  Senate Committee on the Judiciary (.gov) +1

Criticism of Policies:
Critics, including Republican lawmakers and some investigators, argued that "open border" policies and pressure to move children out of shelters swiftly allowed labor traffickers and smugglers to exploit the system.
Center for Immigration Studies +1
Administration Response:
The Biden-Harris administration maintained a focus on managing the high volume of migrants while stating they were committed to combating human trafficking. However, they faced intense criticism from Congress regarding the management of the Unaccompanied Children (UC) program.
