After Supreme Court ruling Colorado advances controversial counseling and parental rights bills

By Colleen Enos | Commentary, Christian Home Educators of Colorado Colorado may go down in history as the most ideologically extreme state in the nation. Between throwing President Trump off the ballot in 2024, persecuting Christian bakers and graphic designers, and banning free speech in religious counseling for minors dealing with sexual identity issues, Colorado is consistently striking out. The decisions made by our legal institutions are continually being overturned by the United States Supreme Court on basic constitutional arguments. Let’s take the state’s radical positions on gender theory. Just two weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 to reverse the Tenth Circuit decision on Colorado’s law banning conversion therapy for minors. The Court held that the Colorado...

Supreme Court Sides With Parents In California Gender Identity Secrecy Fight

By Tyler O'Neil | The Daily Signal The Supreme Court Monday vindicated parental rights, upholding an injunction against California’s gender secrecy policy, which mandated that school staff hide a student’s claimed transgender identity from parents unless the student expressly consented to reveal it. “This is a watershed moment for parental rights in America,” Paul Jonna, special counsel at the Thomas More Society, said in a statement responding to the decision Monday. “The Supreme Court has told California and every state in the nation in no uncertain terms: you cannot secretly transition a child behind a parent’s back.” “The court’s landmark reaffirmation of substantive due process, its vindication of religious liberty, and its approval of class-wide re...

Vermont Drops Requirement To Affirm Gender Identity For Foster License Approval

By Greg Piper | Just the News Vermont settles two lawsuits before appeals court can strike down policy conditioning foster placements, renewals on affirming gender ideology. "We must ban" removals and transitions against parents' will "immediately," Trump says. Solidly Democratic states are coming to the realization that excluding foster-care applicants based on their refusal to treat children as the opposite sex may not be a wise choice.   Vermont gave up its policy of scrutinizing would-be and current foster parents' religious beliefs for inconsistency with gender ideology to settle two First Amendment lawsuits before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could rule, issuing sweeping new guidance last week that protects applicants from violating their conscien...

Wave of bills sparks alarm over parental rights and religious freedom

By Colleen Enos | Commentary, Christian Home Educators of Colorado The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of bills and hearings. Sadly, the Colorado State Senate passed the harmful SB26-004, Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order, which could result in homeschool families that exercise their second amendment rights being targeted as “a danger” by schools where they participate in part-time or extracurricular programs. The actual school, district or even a health care facility can petition for a Red-Flag order against the parents and remove their firearms according to the bill. It would actually incentivize families to avoid getting necessary healthcare for fear of being targeted. It is now scheduled to be heard in the House State, Civic, Military and Veteran...

God, government and the ballot: Why sitting out is not neutral

By Rev. Robert Babcox | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Why Christians should vote and be involved in Government.   We see in several passages in God’s Word what we are to do. Romans 13:1-3: “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.” While there can be no doubt that Paul was telling people ...

Federal Judge Rules Parents Must Be Informed on Student Gender Changes

By Noah Stanton | I Stand for Freedom There’s something uniquely corrosive about a secret kept between a child and an institution, especially when that secret is deliberately hidden from the child’s own parents. It’s the kind of arrangement that should make any reasonable person uncomfortable. And yet, for years, that’s exactly what California’s public schools were doing, though most families had no idea. Under guidance from the California Department of Education, adopted by more than half the state’s school districts, teachers were explicitly prohibited from telling parents if their child began identifying as a different gender at school. A student could change their name, change their pronouns, and undergo what educators called “social transition”—all while mo...

Education Without Virtue Is a Danger to the Republic of the United States of America

By Mark Lewis | Commentary, Townhall I think we would all agree that education is one of the most important facets of any society. I'm not just talking about "going to school"; there is much more to education than that. Education can even begin in the womb, and takes off from birth. Everything we are surrounded by "educates" us, in one way or another—for good or ill. Not all education is "good." It should be unnecessary to say that. People can only know and act upon what they have been taught. If people don't know what "freedom" and "tyranny" are—and the source of both—then they will not know how to protect the former and guard against the latter. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). "My people have gone into captivity, because they have...

Why the murder of Charlie Kirk strikes at America’s core values

By Faye Barnhart | Commentary, Colorado Life Initiative Note: Since originally posting this blog, it is reported that the alleged murderer has been taken into custody. For every university professor, news reporter, and opinion writer who alleged that loving God and country is somehow 'fascist', or that upholding morals and free speech and engaging in honest debate is somehow 'hate', you provided the seeds of hate to reap a murder. I pray you look in the mirror and don't like what you see. For what comes out of your mouth is flowing from your own heart (Luke 6:45). We are mourning the death of Charlie Kirk who went to be with the Lord September 10, 2025, and we pray that God comfort his wife and young children, and all those mourning with them, as only God can. Charlie's assignmen...

Vermont school wins legal battle after refusing to play male athlete on girls’ team

By Mary Mobley | The Daily Signal A federal appeals court ordered Vermont to let a Christian school compete in state-sponsored sports events—even though the school doesn’t support the state’s view of “transgender” ideology.   That decision allows the school to finally participate in athletics again after suffering a years-long ban for forfeiting a game that would have forced girls on its team to compete against a male playing on the opposing girls’ team.  In an opinion released Tuesday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that state officials likely “displayed hostility toward the school’s religious beliefs” by banning it, and it instructed Vermont to let the school compete while the case continues.  Mid Vermont Christian Scho...
