Colorado’s ‘multiple personality disorder’: Critics say lawmakers send mixed signals on parental rights

By Colleen Enos | Commentary, Christian Home Educators of Colorado Have you ever met someone who constantly took conflicting stances on issues? They can’t decide who or what they stand for? It’s like they have Multiple Personality Disorder. Well, I have met them and they are our leaders. The Colorado Assembly is having an identity crisis. They can’t decide who they are or what they stand for. On multiple issues during the 2026 legislative session, they contradict themselves.  Take for example the conflicting messages of passing SB26-018, Legal Protections for the Dignity of Minors, through the State Senate but killing HB26-1087, Safeguard Minors from Sex-Altering Interventions, in the House Health and Human Services Committee. The first bill was stripped of its p...

School Board Hopefuls Promise Accountability After Turbulent DPS Years

By Nico Brambila | The Denver Gazette While candidates will say every election is consequential, the four seats on the ballot next month could reshape the Denver Public Schools Board of Education and chart a new course for Colorado’s largest school district.

Classroom or campaign: NEA handbook sparks questions in Mesa County

By Austin DeWitt | Commentary, The Business Times In the last two months, the National Education Association (NEA) released its 2025 Handbook, the document that sets the goals and priorities for the nation’s largest teachers’ union for the coming year. And then, just as quickly, it was gone. Within 24 hours, the handbook was quietly removed from its website. Why? What was so controversial that it had to be scrubbed from public view? Fortunately, a copy was preserved before it disappeared, and what it contains should give every educator, parent and taxpayer pause.

Judge overrules Elizabeth School District, forces return of books parents objected to

By Michael Karlik | Denver Gazette An Elbert County school district confirmed on Friday to a federal judge that it has restored 19 restricted books to library shelves after she found the school board likely violated the First Amendment rights of students and authors by removing the titles for ideological reasons. Earlier this week, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit declined to suspend, or stay, a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney. Previously, Sweeney ordered the Elizabeth School District to return the restricted books to libraries, and she set a specific date of April 5.
