Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into the weekly report. Home schooling is key to preserving liberty.

The most recent release from the federally funded nation's report card

shows that 40% of eighth graders lack even a basic understanding of U.S. history,

and thus must be replaced by rule of the woke. Similarly critics of promoting transgender

exposed to these and similar topics at an inappropriate age. There are also legitimate

concerns about allowing children to have life-altering gender reassignment medical treatments.

How is it rational to tell a 13-year-old he cannot choose to have a beer but he can choose to

alter his gender? And how is it rational or fair to allow boys to play on girls sports team
