Allies and friends,
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that parents must be allowed to opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed lessons, upholding religious freedom protections. This decision affirms the right of parents to protect their children from exposure to misleading ideologies in the classroom.
On Monday, in light of the Skrmetti ruling, the Supreme Court ordered three appellate courts to revisit related cases. While this move marks progress, the Court must eventually take a firmer stand against the broader transgender agenda.
MIT professor Alex Byrne revealed he co-authored a recent HHS report. In addition to summarizing the scientific findings, Byrne emphasizes the lack of transparency and the manipulation of language in policies related to sex-trait mutilation of minors.
The California Department of Education and CIF were found in violation of Title IX after they allowed a male athlete, who identifies as transgender, to compete in girls’ track events—prompting a federal response and increasing pressure on Governor Newsom to take action.
Sincerely,

Supreme Court Backs Parental Opt-Out on LGBTQ Curriculum
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Mahmoud v. Taylor that, based on protections of religious freedom, public schools must notify parents and allow them to opt their children out of curriculum featuring LGBTQ-themed storybooks.
The decision, written by Justice Alito, halts Montgomery County’s policy and may prompt similar parental opt-out provisions nationwide.
Critics are less concerned with individual and family freedom, and more focused on arguing that this policy will undermine inclusive education and impose heavy burdens on schools.
The Court Reopens Other Cases in Light of Skrmetti
On Monday, in light of the United States v. Skrmetti verdict, the Supreme Court reopened three appellate rulings and ordered the lower courts to revisit the following cases:
- Fourth Circuit: Rulings against North Carolina and West Virginia, where courts had previously struck down bans on state funding for harmful sex-trait mutilations.
- Ninth Circuit: A decision blocking Idaho’s exclusion of such mutilations from Medicaid coverage.
- Tenth Circuit: A ruling against a 2021 Oklahoma law requiring state birth certificate records to reflect a person’s biological sex.
Returning the cases was a good start, but The Court must ultimately reject transgender ideology entirely.
Co-Author of the HHS Report Revealed
Alex Byrne, an MIT philosophy professor and author of Trouble with Gender: Sex Facts, Gender Fictions, revealed he was a co-author of the groundbreaking HHS report challenging pediatric gender-affirming care, arguing that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries for minors lack solid evidence and carry serious risks.
Byrne raises key concerns about recent health policies, stating that “the high cost of speaking out has undoubtedly contributed to the collapse of medical safeguarding in the United States.” He points to language manipulation, lack of transparency, and insufficient scientific evidence as critical issues in the guidelines used to treat minors with gender dysphoria under the influence of transgender ideology.
California Violates Title IX by Allowing Trans Athletes
California’s Department of Education and CIF were found in violation of Title IX by the U.S. Department of Education after a male athlete, who identifies as transgender, competed and won medals in high school girls’ track.
California was given 10 days to adopt a resolution—requiring biology-based definitions and personalized apologies to affected female athletes—or risk losing federal funding.
This may prompt action from Governor Newsom, who previously described the situation as an “issue of fairness,” but has yet to follow through on his words.
