The fight is not yet over for January Littlejohn, a mother who sued her 13-year-old daughter's school after teachers created a transgender support plan without her consent. The six-page transgender nonconforming support plan took away her ability to protect her daughter. Although the Florida Bill, Parental Rights in Education, strengthens parental rights by preventing teachers and school staffers from withholding information about gender issues from parents, this is still not the right time to sit back.
Today, we are joined by the President, General Counsel, and Founder of Child and Parental Rights Campaign, Inc., Vernadette Broyles, and a mother and licensed mental health professional, January Littlejohn. They talk about how gender ideology almost destroyed January's family and how their fight for children and parents' rights is still on.
Enjoy!

Favorite Quotes
04:40 - "As a mental health professional, gender identity wasn't something I specialized in. Still, I was trained in what gender dysphoria was, and this wasn't registering with what I knew about trans identification and gender dysphoria." - January Littlejohn
08:58 - "They're bringing her in here, talking to her about her sexual identification, something that should be the parents' problem. And the school has decided that they can raise your daughter better than you can." - Jim Larkin
09:48 - "The transgender nonconforming support plan was a six-page document that took away our ability to protect her. They asked her questions that could have significantly impacted her safety and mental health, such as which restrooms she preferred to use and the sex she preferred to room with on overnight field trips. It asked our daughter what name and pronouns they should use at school when speaking to us, the parents. So essentially, everybody would know that our daughter was going by a different name and pronouns, except for us." - January Littlejohn
11:48 - "Parental involvement is critical in the successful outcomes of children at school." - January Littlejohn
17:52 - "The middle school socially transitioned my child. A psychosocial medical intervention they are grossly unqualified to do. And the social transition is the first step toward medical transition." - January Littlejohn
47:56 - "When you deprive a parent of the liberty to raise their child, you're depriving them of a fundamental liberty interest that has been part of America since its founding." - Vernadette R. Boyles
1:07:13 - "Our children are at risk, and they are very being preyed upon. We are manufacturing children who are confused over their sex, and they believe a lie that medical transition is for them." - January Littlejohn
