The 4th Annual Virginia March for Life was a huge success, but what happened inside the capitol, while we were marching along with Governor Youngkin outside the capitol.

Even in the midst of the Ukraine war and unprecedented inflation, the Biden administration took time to publicly attack a Florida parental rights bill as quote “horrific.” And we see similar kinds of smear tactics being used against parental rights right here in Virginia’s Hanover County. What can parents do about it?

The parent revolution that began here in Virginia is continuing across the country--even in Blue State power centers like San Francisco, where we saw headlines about school board members losing their seats after ignoring parents one too many times.
