New York State of Mind

“From before time of the Declaration of Independence or our Constitution, America has been a refuge for those seeking freedom from oppression,” says TPPF’s Mayra Flores. “She should remain so. But we cannot allow laws meant to serve the oppressed to create even more oppression in the false name of compassion. We will never solve this border crisis if Congress is not willing to step in and fix the policies causing it.”

“I have discovered over 100 sexually explicit and age-inappropriate books in every secondary school library of Belton ISD,” writes mom Hillary Hickland for The Cannon Online. “These books contain narratives and graphics that normalize child sexual abuse, sexual assault, incest, drug abuse and suicide. Imagine an 11-year-old choosing this book and being exposed to these harsh and heavy concepts that are difficult for adults to process.”
