January 1, Drag Queen School Board Leader Arrested on Horrifying Child Charges

Wyatt’s Take

• A drag queen school board vice president faces child pornography and endangerment charges — exactly the kind of person parents have been warning about getting near kids
• Virginia parents are fighting back in court against school districts hiding children’s gender transitions from families, a practice that’s become disturbingly common across America
• Meanwhile, a middle school principal apologized to students for teaching about the Holocaust — as if historical truth should come with trigger warnings

A drag queen serving as vice president of a school board has been arrested on child pornography and child endangerment charges, validating every parent’s worst nightmare about who’s been given power over their children’s education.

The arrest comes as parents across the nation are waking up to exactly who has been influencing their kids in schools. This isn’t about performance art or self-expression — this is about protecting children from predators who’ve wormed their way into positions of authority.

In Virginia, fed-up parents are taking legal action against a school district over policies that allow schools to hide students’ gender transitions from their own mothers and fathers. These secretive practices treat parents like the enemy instead of the primary caregivers and decision-makers in their children’s lives.

The lawsuit challenges a policy that’s become standard operating procedure in woke school districts nationwide: keeping life-altering decisions about children’s identities hidden from the people who love them most.

In another troubling development, a middle school principal actually apologized to students who claimed they were “offended” by a Holocaust lesson. The principal’s groveling response suggests that even teaching historical atrocities now requires sensitivity warnings for a generation raised on safe spaces.

The Holocaust happened. Six million Jews were murdered. That’s not up for debate, and it’s not something students get to opt out of learning because it makes them uncomfortable. History isn’t supposed to be comfortable — it’s supposed to be true.

A new watchdog report reveals that a university in a red state has been training executives with ties to China’s defense sector. The report exposes how American institutions are helping build up our greatest geopolitical adversary, all while collecting tuition dollars and federal research grants.

This pipeline of knowledge and expertise flowing to China represents a threat to national security that too many university administrators have ignored in their pursuit of international student revenue.

On a more hopeful note, Ben Carson and Riley Gaines are leading the fight to restore faith to its rightful place in American history textbooks as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary. For too long, publishers have systematically scrubbed religious references from the story of America’s founding.

The Founders weren’t shy about their faith, and neither should our history books be. You can’t understand the American experiment without understanding the religious convictions that shaped it.

Wyatt Matters

Parents are done sitting quietly while schools hide what’s happening in classrooms and who’s making decisions about their kids. The drag queen arrest, the Virginia lawsuit, the China connections — these aren’t isolated incidents. They’re symptoms of an education system that’s lost its way, forgotten its purpose, and abandoned the families it’s supposed to serve. When schools become battlegrounds instead of learning grounds, something’s broken. And it’s going to take parents standing up, filing lawsuits, showing up at board meetings, and demanding accountability to fix it. Your kids’ education is too important to leave in the hands of people who think you’re the problem.
