President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> urged hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canada</a> on Wednesday, saying that he would win easily without even campaigning. 
Trump, who met with Gretzky on Christmas, said that the hockey player didn’t appear to have any interest in running, but that Canadians should start a campaign to convince him to run. Gretzky, who played 20 seasons in the NHL, won four Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers and holds numerous professional hockey records.  
“I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One’ as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113715216746072252">posted</a> on Truth Social. “I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada — You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’”
“He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch!” he added. 
In addition to playing for the Oilers, Gretzky played for the Los Angeles Kings, the St. Louis Blues, and the New York Rangers.

Trump&#8217;s endorsement of Gretzky comes as he has continued to troll liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the past month. During a meeting with Trudeau earlier this month, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-calls-trudeau-governor-of-the-great-state-of-canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> told the Canadian leader that if his country couldn’t afford to pay a potential tariff, it should consider becoming the 51st state. 
“It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada. I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all! DJT,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113626786987358864" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> earlier this month. 
Trudeau had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-canadas-trudeau-makes-commitment-to-u-s-during-mar-a-lago-meeting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met</a> with Trump a few days after the incoming president threatened to levy a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico unless the countries worked on securing their borders with the U.S. and cracking down on drug trafficking and illegal immigration in America.
New polls from Canada show that Trudeau is becoming increasingly unpopular, with one poll <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/world/americas/justin-trudeau-canada-popularity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showing</a> that 73% of Canadians believe he should resign as the leader of the Liberal Party. Trudeau, who has led Canada since 2015, has faced criticism for his handling of immigration, the economy, and focusing on leftist climate initiatives.

Trump Urges Hockey Legend Wayne Gretzky To Challenge Justin Trudeau

A man wanted over a hit-and-run in Nashville last month is an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by the Biden administration, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday.
The Department of Homeland Security said that Tony Gebian Lopez Infante, who is suspected of driving his car into a Florida man celebrating his 21st birthday, illegally entered the country in August 2023. Lopez Infante is on the run after police say that he slammed into Zachary Carach with his vehicle on May 18, sending him to the hospital with serious injuries.
“An illegal alien who should never have been in the U.S. allegedly struck a young man who was celebrating his 21st birthday in a hit-and-run crash and is still at large. The Biden Administration released this illegal alien into our country in 2023,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “This crime was preventable and is the direct result of open border policies that prioritized illegal aliens over the safety of American citizens.”
“Secretary Noem is praying for Zachary Carach’s quick recovery. To report suspicious criminal activity or sightings of Lopez Infante, call 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) — help President Trump, Secretary Noem, and our brave law enforcement remove these public safety threats from our communities and make America safe again,” McLaughlin added.
After his apprehension at the border on August 1, 2023, Lopez Infante was released on August 14, 2023, to await removal proceedings. Over a year later, he was ordered to be deported on September 25, 2024, by an immigration judge, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Carach spent five days in a Nashville hospital before he was transported to a hospital in Florida to continue treatment. His legs and arms were seriously injured, requiring surgery to put screws into his left leg. His mother <a href="https://weartv.com/news/local/mother-of-escambia-county-hit-and-run-victim-speaks-out-as-search-intensifies-for-suspect">told</a> a local Florida news station that he is expected to be in a wheelchair for at least two to three months.

Metro Nashville Police said that Lopez Infante will be <a href="https://www.nashville.gov/departments/police/news/suspect-sought-hit-and-run-crash-seriously-injured-pedestrian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, failure to render aid/file an accident report, attempted evidence tampering, and driving without a license/insurance once he is apprehended. He also faces another charge related to an arrest over theft in Williamson County, a wealthy area south of Nashville.
Local Nashville officials, including Democratic Mayor Freddie O’Connell, have bashed the Trump administration’s efforts to remove illegal aliens from the streets. O’Connell pledged to <a href="https://www.nashville.gov/departments/mayor/news/belonging-fund-launches-provide-emergency-support-immigrants-nashville">support</a> the creation of the “Belonging Fund,” intended to provide financial support to illegal aliens after Immigration and Customs Enforcement partnered with the Tennessee Highway Patrol to conduct traffic stops where they apprehended nearly one hundred illegal aliens with criminal convictions or pending charges.
These protests by Music City Democrats have prompted Border Czar Tom Homan to threaten a visit to implement a broader crackdown on illegal aliens.

Man Wanted In Nashville Hit-And-Run Is Illegal Alien Released Into Country By Biden

A Texas program offering in-state tuition to illegal immigrants ended Wednesday after the Trump administration sued the state saying that the initiative violated federal law. 
The suit from the Justice Department challenged Texas law that allowed illegal immigrants to be eligible for in-state tuition while denying the same opportunities for American citizens. The challenge was resolved the same day after a federal judge approved a joint motion from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Justice Department to rule the law unconstitutional.
“Today, I entered a joint motion along with the Trump Administration opposing a law that unconstitutionally and unlawfully gave benefits to illegal aliens that were not available to American citizens,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Ending this discriminatory and un-American provision is a major victory for Texas.”
The <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Joint%20Motion%20for%20Entry%20of%20Consent%20Judgment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joint motion</a> asked the judge to rule that the tuition provision of Texas law applying to illegal immigrants violated the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause and issue a permanent injunction blocking application of the law.
“In direct and express conflict with federal law, Texas education law specifically allows an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States to qualify for in-state tuition based on residence within the state, while explicitly denying resident-based tuition rates to U.S. citizens that do not qualify as Texas residents,” Paxton and the DOJ wrote in their motion.

Judge Reed O’Connor of the Northern District of Texas <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/In%20State%20Tuition%20Final%20Judgment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed off</a> on the motion just hours after it was filed, granting a permanent injunction against the provision.
“In-state tuition for illegal immigrants in Texas has ended,” Governor Greg Abbott said. “Texas is permanently enjoined from providing in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.”
The provision giving illegal immigrants access to in-state tuition was <a href="https://lrl.texas.gov/legis/billsearch/actions.cfm?legSession=77-0&amp;billtypeDetail=HB&amp;billNumberDetail=1403&amp;billSuffixDetail=">first passed</a> back in 2001 and signed by then-Governor Rick Perry.
In an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/protecting-american-communities-from-criminal-aliens/?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> signed in March, President Donald Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to “identify and take appropriate action to stop the enforcement of State and local laws, regulations, policies, and practices favoring aliens over any groups of American citizens that are unlawful, preempted by Federal law, or otherwise unenforceable, including State laws that provide in-State higher education tuition to aliens but not to out-of-State American citizens.”

Texas Ends Benefit Program For Illegal Immigrants After Justice Department Suit

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of a Catholic charity that sued Wisconsin after it was mandated to pay certain unemployment taxes while other religious organizations were exempted.
In its <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24-154_2b82.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling</a>, the court struck down a decision from the Wisconsin Supreme Court that said the Catholic Charities Bureau had to pay taxes on unemployment compensation. The court said that the interpretation of state tax law by Wisconsin&#8217;s Supreme Court violated the First Amendment.
&#8220;The First Amendment mandates government neutrality between religions and subjects any state-sponsored denominational preference to strict scrutiny,&#8221; Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in the majority decision. &#8220;The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s application of [Wisconsin law] imposed a denominational preference by differentiating between religions based on theological lines.&#8221;
Catholic Charities Bureau is an organization that provides services to poor people, the disabled, the elderly, and children with special needs as a ministry of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Superior. According to its <a href="https://ccbsuperior.org/about-us/">website</a>, it provides around 50 programs to over 10,500 people.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion, saying that in addition to violating the First Amendment, the Wisconsin Supreme Court violated the church autonomy doctrine, which means that a religious institution is not defined by any corporate entity it may form.
&#8220;I would reverse for an additional reason — that the Wisconsin Supreme Court violated the church autonomy doctrine,&#8221; Thomas wrote. &#8220;However incorporated, Catholic Charities and its subentities are, from a religious perspective, a mere arm of the Diocese of Superior. The Wisconsin Supreme Court should have deferred to that understanding, and its failure to do so amounted to an unlawful attempt by the State to redefine the Diocese’s internal governance.&#8221;

Thomas noted that the government could not use entities created by religious institutions as a backdoor means to regulate their internal governance.
&#8220;In short, the corporation is made for the church, not the church for the corporation. Both the basic principles of church autonomy and the history of religious corporations establish that religious institutions are more than the corporate entities that they form,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;It follows that the government may not use such entities as a means of regulating the internal governance of religious institutions.&#8221;
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also issued a separate concurring opinion.

Supreme Court Sides With Christian Charity Targeted By Wisconsin

Florida high school students were drilled for being straight, asked to consider being gay, and told that straight people are to blame for overpopulation, according to course materials obtained by The Daily Wire.
During a course for high school children in Miami-Dade County, students were assigned to complete a sexuality-focused questionnaire that asked a series of bizarre questions such as: &#8220;What do you think caused your heterosexuality?&#8221;; &#8220;Is it possible that being straight is just a phase you may grow out of?”; and, “Considering the menace of hunger and overpopulation, could the human race survive if everyone were straight like yourself?”
Parents were shocked to learn that a professor made their children answer questions like this as part of a Miami-Dade College course being offered to high schoolers. The<a href="https://www.mdc.edu/asa/documents/competencies/pdf/SLS1510%20Preparing%20for%20Student%20Success.pdf"> course</a>, called &#8220;Preparing for Student Success,&#8221; was designed for students to develop academic goals and come up with strategies to succeed in college and offered in Miami-Dade County, an area that has<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/floridas-miami-dade-county-flips-red-in-voter-registration-for-first-time-in-history"> turned red</a> in recent years. 
“It&#8217;s not normal. I mean imagine if a person, anyone, goes close to your son and asks him these questions, I’d call the police,” a concerned mother whose son was enrolled in the class told The Daily Wire. “It&#8217;s perversion. Why are you talking about their sexuality to 15-year-old boys or girls? It&#8217;s absolutely sick. It’s sick.”
Other questions posed to the children included, &#8220;To whom have you disclosed your straight tendencies?&#8221; and &#8220;Why do you insist on showing off your heterosexuality?&#8221; The questionnaire ended by asking students what their reaction to it was and &#8220;about the assumptions you hold about what others are like.&#8221;
The questions come from the textbook &#8220;POWER: Strategies for Success in College and Life&#8221; by Robert Feldman, a senior research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The textbook was printed by McGraw Hill, one of the largest academic publishers in the United States whose products are used in 13,000 K-12 school districts across the country.
After being contacted by The Daily Wire, Miami-Dade College said that it had reviewed the assignment and determined that it would no longer be used.
&#8220;Miami-Dade College is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and academically sound learning environment for all students,&#8221; the college told The Daily Wire. &#8220;In response to concerns raised about a classroom assignment, we have conducted a thorough review of the assignment, and it will no longer be used. We expect all those who teach to uphold these standards and will ensure any necessary adjustments are made.&#8221;
The other questions on the assignment were as follows: &#8220;when and how did you decide you were straight?&#8221;; &#8220;is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?&#8221;; &#8220;There seem to be many unhappy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change your sexual orientation. Have you considered changing?&#8221; and, &#8220;why do straights place so much emphasis on sex?&#8221;
According to the textbook, the questionnaire was adopted from the work of Martin Rochlin, a gay rights activist and founding member of the Gay and Lesbian Center of Los Angeles who developed the &#8220;Heterosexual Questionnaire&#8221; in 1972.
<div id="attachment_926763" style="width: 1060px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-926763" class="size-full wp-image-926763" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM.png" alt="" width="1050" height="1030" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM.png 1050w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM-300x294.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM-587x576.png 587w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-29-at-10.02.29%E2%80%AFAM-768x753.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px" />McGraw Hill textbook questionnaire used in Miami-Dade County.</div>
The concerned mother whose son was forced to take the quiz told The Daily Wire that the questionnaire was included in the textbook as means of indoctrination.
She noted that dual enrollment classes are typically recommended for students looking to receive Florida&#8217;s Bright Futures Scholarship, a lottery funded-scholarship for top performing high school academic achievers. She said that teachers should avoid discussing issues of sexuality altogether.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t talk about these things, especially with kids. If you are a math teacher, you teach math,” she said. “These types of courses shouldn&#8217;t exist.”
She also voiced concerns about another questionnaire featured in the textbook on its chapter on diversity. One activity encourages students to determine the diversity of their campus by getting statistics of how many racial minorities attend their school, while another encourages them to &#8220;check your stereotype quotient.&#8221; That includes questions like, &#8220;If you found out that a star professional football player is gay, would you be surprised?&#8221;
The mother told The Daily Wire that she was contacted by the office of the president of Miami-Dade College and assured her that concerns would be addressed. They said the school told them that the quiz would no longer be administered and indicated that they would focus their teaching on what was academically appropriate.
Some parents believe that the content in the quiz may violate<a href="http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=1000-1099/1006/Sections/1006.31.html"> Florida law</a> requiring content to be &#8220;accurate, objective, balanced&#8221; and &#8220;noninflammatory.&#8221;
In its statement to The Daily Wire, Miami-Dade College said that it would continue to provide education that follows state requirements.
&#8220;We are committed to creating a learning environment where students are successful and have the support to achieve academic excellence through fair and unbiased grading practices. We appreciate the engagement of our students, families, and school partners as we remain focused on delivering high-quality education that adheres to state guidelines,&#8221; the college said
The controversy over the curriculum comes as Miami-Dade County has shifted significantly to the right electorally in recent years. President Donald Trump won the county by over 10 points in 2024. The number of registered Republicans in the county also<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/floridas-miami-dade-county-flips-red-in-voter-registration-for-first-time-in-history"> just eclipsed</a> Democrats for the first time in history.

‘Have You Considered Changing?’: Florida Teens Asked To Consider Becoming Gay In Class Assignment

President Donald Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports jumped up to 50% on Wednesday as he continues to push for American trading partners to propose new trade deals to avoid heightened levies.
In an executive order signed Tuesday, Trump said it was necessary to double steel and aluminum tariffs for national security purposes. The hike comes as the White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-warns-trade-partners-that-deadline-for-new-proposals-looms-friendly-reminder?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Warns+Trade+Partners+That+Deadline+For+New+Proposals+Looms%3A+‘Friendly+Reminder’">gave</a> a Wednesday deadline for American trading partners to submit counterproposals to the &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs Trump imposed back in April. 
“In my judgment, the increased tariffs will more effectively counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-priced, excess steel and aluminum in the United States market and thereby undercut the competitiveness of the United States steel and aluminum industries,” Trump wrote in the executive order. “I have determined that increasing the previously imposed tariffs will provide greater support to these industries and reduce or eliminate the national security threat posed by imports of steel and aluminum articles and their derivative articles.” 
Trump first announced last week that he would take action to increase the tariffs on steel and aluminum, saying it would help the industry and American workers. 
“Our steel and aluminum industries are coming back like never before. This will be yet another BIG jolt of great news for our wonderful steel and aluminum workers,” he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114599330494282325">said</a> in a Truth Social post after a speech at a steel plant in Pennsylvania on Friday.
Last month, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/made-in-america-trump-says-u-s-steel-will-remain-in-pittsburgh-partner-with-japanese-company?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=24&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=‘Made+In+America’%3A+Trump+Says+U.S.+Steel+Will+Remain+In+Pittsburgh%2C+Partner+With+Japanese+Company" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that U.S. Steel, once the largest steel company in the world, would partner with the Japanese company Nippon Steel. U.S. Steel, which has struggled in recent years, was set to be sold to the Japanese company before the deal was blocked by former President Joe Biden. The company will remain headquartered in Pittsburgh, and Trump said the partnership would result in 70,000 jobs. 
The tariff increases come after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said American trading partners had been reminded that the deadline to propose new trade agreements with the United States was on Wednesday, saying &#8220;the president expects good deals,&#8221; adding, &#8220;And we are on track for that, I will emphasize.&#8221; 
Most of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs have been paused until July 8 to allow time for negotiations.
 One major trade deal with the United Kingdom has already been announced, but talks with China have been rocky. After agreeing to significantly lower tariffs, Trump accused the communist country of violating their agreement. 
Trump said Wednesday on Truth Social that Chinese President Xi Jinping was being difficult in negotiations. 
“I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!”

Trump Doubles Tariffs On Steel And Aluminum Imports As Trade Deadline Hits

The YMCA scrubbed guidance from its website saying that its campers should have access to bathrooms and cabins based on their gender identities after a campaign from a conservative parent group warned about the organization&#8217;s transgender policies. 
On Wednesday, The Daily Wire exclusively reported that American Parents Coalition had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/parents-sound-alarm-on-ymca-camps-allowing-men-in-girls-showers-and-cabins?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Parents+Sound+Alarm+On+YMCA+Camps+Allowing+Boys+In+Girls%E2%80%99+Showers+And+Cabins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> its followers that YMCA camps across the country allow boys who identify as girls into female facilities. By Friday, the YMCA had either scrubbed or restricted access to much of the content on its website related to gender ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion. 
“After being called out for prioritizing radical, gender ideology over child safety, the YMCA is scrambling to delete and hide the evidence,” American Parents Coalition Executive Director Alleigh Marré told The Daily Wire. “The YMCA can delete and hide as many web pages as they want, but American Parents Coalition will continue to push for policies that protect girls in sports and in private spaces.”
dOne of the <a href="https://www.ymca.org/ystories/youth-teen-development/create-safe-spaces-for-lgbtq-campers">pages</a> that appears to have been removed from the website was called “How to Create a Safe Space for LGBTQ+ Campers” and was posted in 2017.  This archived <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240614040539/https://www.ymca.org/ystories/youth-teen-development/create-safe-spaces-for-lgbtq-campers">page</a> included recommendations that “all campers and staff have access to the facilities aligned with their gender identity and comfort within facility and resource limitations.” 
Other recommendations included working to “confound gender-based assumptions,” using “gender-neutral (or self-identified) pronouns,” marketing featuring same-sex couples or transgender individuals, partnering with organizations that “serve the LGBTQ+ community,” and celebrating Pride month. 
Already at YMCA facilities across the country, women and girls have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/82-year-old-woman-sues-after-disturbing-trans-incident-at-ymca-pool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complained</a> about the presence of males in their locker rooms and shower areas. And certain camps, such as Camp Olson in Minnesota, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/parents-sound-alarm-on-ymca-camps-allowing-men-in-girls-showers-and-cabins?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Parents+Sound+Alarm+On+YMCA+Camps+Allowing+Boys+In+Girls%E2%80%99+Showers+And+Cabins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stipulate</a> that access to restrooms and overnight accommodations be based on gender identity.

The page also recommended working “with local officials, organizations and youth groups to ensure that policies support the LGBTQ+ community.”
A <a href="https://www.ymca.org/ystories/youth-teen-development/books-to-teach-empathy-kindness#:~:text=A%20Chair%20for%20My%20Mother,chair%20for%20all%20to%20enjoy." target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> with book recommendations for children was also restricted. One of the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20241112183430/https:/www.ymca.org/ystories/youth-teen-development/books-to-teach-empathy-kindness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">books</a>, aimed at children ages 4-7, was “George,” by Alex Gino, which describes a gender-confused boy.
“When people look at George, they see a boy. But George knows she’s a girl. George thinks she’ll have to keep this a secret forever until her teacher announces the title of the class play. This book is the candid and heartwarming story of a transgender girl and the support of her friends,” the description posted by the YMCA reads. 
Also <a href="https://www.ymca.org/ystories/y-community/showing-up-as-my-whole-self" target="_blank" rel="noopener">restricted</a> were similar pages on the YMCA’s promotion of Pride including a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250120095842/https:/www.ymca.org/ystories/diversity-equity-inclusion/showing-up-as-my-whole-self" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog post</a> by self-described “queer transgender woman” talking about how the YMCA of Greater Boston marched together in a Pride Parade. Another similar <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250218123149/https://www.ymca.org/ystories/y-community/thank-you-my-allies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> discussed the YMCA of the USA’s National LGBTQ+ Steering Committee. 
Other DEI-themed pages and the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240801054953/https:/www.ymca.org/who-we-are/our-leadership/executives/lynda-gonzales-chavez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biographies</a> of employees working with DEI roles are restricted. For example, the bio page for Lynda Gonzales-Chavez, who was the YMCA’s Senior VP/Chief Global Diversity, Equity And Inclusion Officer, is no longer visible. Her role is now described as Chief Global Relations and Community Engagement Officer at YMCA.
Marré was not impressed with the removal of the LGBT-themed content. 
“Parents deserve complete transparency and accountability when it comes to their children. Make no mistake, until the YMCA announces new policies to safeguard children, they are only concealing the evidence,” she told The Daily Wire. “As parents, we cannot stop applying pressure to these institutions. This is just the first step in protecting our children from spaces that defy biological truth.”
