<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">Singer</a> Michael Bublé said his young son’s “unthinkable” battle with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cancer">cancer</a> gave him a new perspective on life, forcing him to abandon his “alter ego.”
The 47-year-old Grammy Award winner said he felt like “the superhero I always wanted to be” before his son Noah was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a form of liver cancer, at the age of 3 in 2016.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/children">child</a> had to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy following his diagnosis. He is now in remission.
“That, of course, changed me in a big way – it changed what mattered to me, it changed how I saw life,” Bublé told Red magazine, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11675713/Michael-Bubl-reveals-son-Noahs-unthinkable-battle-liver-cancer-forced-lose-alter-ego.html">per</a> The Daily Mail.
“For most of my life as an entertainer and, especially on stage, I’d become my alter ego,” he continued. “&#8217;I’d become the superhero I always wanted to be. Then my wife and I went through this unthinkable thing, and I lost that alter ego.”
The “Feeling Good” crooner has been married to Luisana Lopilato since 2011, and the two share four children, including Noah. Bublé also spoke about the secret to making his marriage work.
“More than anything, my wife and I understand that each other&#8217;s fulfillment is important,” he told the publication. “I&#8217;m not saying we&#8217;re perfect – nobody is – but we both have that understanding.”
“I won&#8217;t be touring for certain months next year because she&#8217;ll be filming a movie, and so I&#8217;ll be Daddy on set, and then she&#8217;ll do the same for me,” the singer continued. “We don&#8217;t care what we do – being together is the goal.”
After Noah’s diagnosis, Bublé took a step back from music to focus on his family. 
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t anticipate returning to recording or performing and I was fine with that,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2018092862863/michael-buble-no-intention-returning-music-after-son-cancer-diagnosis/">said</a> in 2018. &#8220;My entire worldview has changed completely these last few years. I wanted to spend all my time with my wife and kids. That was my focus.&#8221;
“During that time, I also learned how much love and humanity is out in the world from the prayers and good wishes we received,” he continued. “But slowly, along with understanding what my priorities in life are, I began to feel a new commitment to express the emotions and lessons I&#8217;ve embraced.”
It wasn’t just the diagnosis that shifted Bublé’s perspective. Even before Noah was born, the Canadian-born performer said he prioritized his family over his career. 
“I just don’t want to look back and say, ‘God, I should have been there more,’” he <a href="https://pagesix.com/2016/11/04/michael-bubles-3-year-old-son-diagnosed-with-cancer/">said</a> during an interview with People magazine.
“Because I have a feeling that I’ll never look back and say, ‘Jeez, I should have worked more.’”

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/massachusetts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Massachusetts</a> mother will be charged with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder</a> after she allegedly strangled her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">children</a> before attempting suicide, prosecutors say.
On Tuesday night, a man called 911 saying a woman had attempted suicide by jumping out of a window. The woman was identified as Lindsay Clancy, 32, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, and the caller was identified as her husband but remains unnamed.
When police arrived at the home, they found three children &#8220;unconscious with obvious signs of trauma,&#8221; Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said during a press conference Wednesday afternoon, <a href="https://cbs12.com/news/nation-world/da-2-children-killed-baby-airlifted-to-hospital-in-unimaginable-senseless-tragedy-duxbury-massachusetts-plymouth-county-district-attorney-timothy-cruz-emergency-police-fire-murder-kids-hurt-infant?fbclid=IwAR1glXDeL6Q1e3JIOvAX5Qopnc6nbg-r013zaeFGz-kb8p1LQAOX69fRXkM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to CBS 12</a>.
“It’s a horrific situation,” Cruz said. “We’re still putting it together.
He said a preliminary investigation from the medical examiner found that the children had been strangled by their mother. Two of the children, a 5-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy, were taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center but were pronounced dead. A 7-month-old baby was flown to Boston Children’s Hospital and is still in their care.
“The child is in care right now as we speak,&#8221; Cruz said at the press conference. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have his exact status but I think we should all be praying for him.”
The children’s mother is also being treated at a Boston hospital and will be charged with murder for the deaths of two of her children. Clancy is a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Boston Globe <a href="https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2023/01/25/duxbury-mother-lindsay-clancy-charged-murder-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;We will be arraigning her with two charges of murder in the deaths of her children,&#8221; Cruz said.
The Plymouth County District Attorney&#8217;s Office announced Wednesday that Clancy faced two counts of homicide, three counts of strangulation, and three counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, NBC Boston <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/duxbury-mom-charged-with-strangling-children-as-community-and-family-grapples-with-tragedy/2955419/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Cruz assured the public that they were safe and that this was not a random incident. He also declined to comment on possible mental health issues Clancy may have been facing.
“When something like this happens, there are obviously usually more questions than there are answers,” he said. “As we proceed forward, we will give answers as we can.”
The children’s aunt, Donna Jesse, <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/duxbury-mom-charged-with-strangling-children-as-community-and-family-grapples-with-tragedy/2955419/">expressed her grief</a> to the outlet.
&#8220;They were just beautiful, beautiful children. Well cared for — they were just beautiful, that&#8217;s it. They had a beautiful life,&#8221; she said.
The children’s great-grandmother, Rita Musgrove, told the outlet that she had talked to their mother just a week ago and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a pretty shocking thing, and it is heartbreaking,&#8221; she said.
The Duxbury Fire Department released a statement Thursday morning saying their &#8220;thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this tragic event, their family members, and all the members of our public safety community who responded.&#8221;

Abigail Zwerner, the Virginia first-grade teacher who was shot by her six-year-old student, reportedly texted a loved one before the shooting that the child had a gun and school officials were not responding to her pleas for help.
A source told <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/teacher-shot-6-year-old-texted-dire-warning-loved-one-was-wounded-sour-rcna67290" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a> that the text from Zwerner stated the boy’s backpack carried a gun and administrators at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News weren’t coming to her aid.
“She was frustrated because she was trying to get help with this child, for this child, and then when she needed help, no one was coming,” the source stated.
On Wednesday, Diane Toscano, Zwerner&#8217;s attorney, announced she will file a lawsuit against the Newport News School Division.

“Anything that has been reported to our school leadership team in regards to concerns at Richneck from teachers and staff members is part of the investigation. It’s being thoroughly investigated,” Newport News Public Schools spokesperson Michelle Price said.

The Newport News School Division Superintendent, George Parker III, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/parents-wonder-6-year-old-virginia-boy-shot-teacher-backpack-was-searc-rcna65914" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> at a virtual townhall after the January 6 shooting virtual town hall that the boy had come to school late and his book bag inspected when he was signed in, adding, “At least one administrator was notified of a possible weapon.”
A Newport News police spokeswoman claimed that police confirmed “a school employee was notified of a possible firearm at Richneck Elementary before the shooting occurred,” adding, “The Newport News Police Department was not notified of this information prior to the incident.”
Zwerner suffered injuries described as life-threatening at the time of the shooting.
“She was going to confiscate it, and that’s when he shot,” the mother of one child in the class told <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/01/08/richneck-elementary-school-shooting-newport-news-virginia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Post</a>.
The former director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice cited what he called the “infancy defense” to dismiss the idea that the child, placed in police custody, could be prosecuted.
“As a practical matter, it would be next to impossible to prosecute a 6-year-old, no matter how serious,” Andrew Block told the Post. “The bigger barrier, presuming the prosecution could overcome that, is all defendants have to be competent to stand trial. That means you have to understand the nature of legal proceedings against you and assist in your own defense. There’s no way a 6-year-old would meet that criteria.”
A parent of one of the first-grade students told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11613793/Teacher-25-deliberately-shot-chest-six-year-old-boy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a> that Zwerner “screamed at her kids to run away” after she was shot. Sebastian Gonzalez-Hernandez continued, “Even after she&#8217;d been shot she was thinking about the safety of her children. My son didn&#8217;t see what happened; he heard the gunshot go off, and turned around to see Miss Zwerner on the floor.”
“She is an amazing teacher, so dedicated,” he added. “My son absolutely loves her, and we&#8217;re devastated about what&#8217;s happened. We are all thinking of her and hoping that she gets better soon.”

A North Carolina teacher association provides resources to local schools and daycares on introducing radical gender theory to young children.
The North Carolina Association for the Education of Young Children (NCAEYC) hosts a <a href="https://www.antibiasleadersece.com/the-film-reflecting-on-anti-bias-education-in-action/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documentary</a> on their <a href="https://ncaeyc.org/equity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> called, &#8220;Reflecting on Anti-bias Education in Action: The Early Years,&#8221; featuring a scene with a group of children aged four and five getting a lesson on &#8220;gender identity&#8221; from their &#8220;non-binary&#8221; teacher. The film was recently shown to daycare owners in North Carolina during a training session by the NCAEYC, according to Jordan Chamberlain of the Washington Free Beacon. 
&#8220;This was shown to daycare owners in [North Carolina],&#8221; Chamberlain shared to her Twitter followers. &#8220;A teacher used a doll to teach gender identity to 4-5 year olds.&#8221;

&#8220;When a child brings up &#8216;non-binary,&#8217; the teachers say it’s &#8216;a huge testament to how much we’ve been talking about it in the classroom&#8217; and &#8216;it’s constantly in conversation,'&#8221; she added.
The clip, from a segment on &#8220;diversity&#8221; in the 48-minute film, showed a classroom discussion on &#8220;gender identity,&#8221; including &#8220;non-binary&#8221; identities. Maddie Piper, a teacher who identifies as non-binary, introduced a doll named &#8220;Nash&#8221; to a group of 10 children, aged four and five years old.
“A friend likes to ask the question, ‘Are you a boy or a girl?’&#8221; begins Piper. “Nash answers, ‘I am just a kid.’”
A child comments, “But kids can be boys or girls.”
Another quickly adds, “Or they,” followed by a third child who says, “Yeah or maybe non-binary.”
The camera pivots to a team discussion of four educators involved in the documentary, who were pleased that a child had brought up the subject of &#8220;non-binary&#8221; without being prompted.
&#8220;I think it was a huge testament to how much we&#8217;ve been talking about it in the classroom,&#8221; said one of the educators. &#8220;You never mentioned the term &#8216;non-binary,&#8217; it was a child who brought that up because it&#8217;s constantly in conversation,&#8221; she added, giving a nod to Piper.
The film returns to the classroom where Piper leads the children in a pronoun exercise, attempting to get them to refer to the singular doll in her lap as &#8220;they.&#8221;
&#8220;Just like me, Nash is non-binary, so they are not sure if they are a boy or a girl, so when people ask them are you a boy or a girl, right now they just feel like saying, ‘I am a kid,’ while they are figuring it out.’”
One child asked, &#8220;Does he like stars?&#8221;
&#8220;They like stars,&#8221; Piper replied. 
&#8220;They like stars,&#8221; the children echoed the teacher.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and its state affiliates like North Carolina are all on board with introducing radical gender theory to kids. 
&#8220;We believe it is never too early to positively support young children’s gender exploration,&#8221; an <a href="https://www.naeyc.org/resources/pubs/yc/mar2019/exploring-gender-enacting-anti-bias" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issue</a> of the NAEYC&#8217;s publication &#8220;Young Children&#8221; reads.
Today, radical gender theory is used in <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/radical-gender-theory-in-american-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school lessons</a> to teach young children that everyone has a “gender identity,” which is determined based on stereotypes of sex-based preferences and behavior. Children across the West are now taught that their “gender identity” can be “misaligned” with the body, and that their body can be altered through puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-related surgeries to “correct” the “mismatch.”
While the term has exploded in popularity as a way for transgender individuals to express the feeling of “misalignment” with their bodies, many scientists have come forward saying that there is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-biological-evidence-for-gender-identity-exists-group-of-scientists-researchers-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no empirical evidence</a> to support the existence of &#8220;gender identity&#8221; and that teaching the concept may be resulting in a “<a href="https://www.segm.org/false-assumptions-gender-affirmation-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">social contagion</a>” effect on trans-identification.
A <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/147/6/e2020049823/180292/Prevalence-of-Gender-Diverse-Youth-in-an-Urban?autologincheck=redirected" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 analysis</a> of more than 3,000 surveys in urban school environments found that an astonishing 9% of students identify as transgender or &#8220;non-binary.&#8221;

The Food and Drug Administration (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FDA</a>) <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3828442-fda-issues-guidance-to-reduce-lead-exposure-in-baby-food/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> draft guidelines on Tuesday regarding levels of lead in certain baby and children’s food products.
The <a href="https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/draft-guidance-industry-action-levels-lead-food-intended-babies-and-young-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guidance</a> is for foods that are meant for infants and young kids under the age of two and that are processed, like those that are kept in certain types of packaging, the agency noted.
The action levels from the FDA include 10 parts per billion for specific produce, like vegetables and fruits, as well as mixes, meats that are one ingredient, custards or puddings, and yogurts. For root vegetables that are one ingredient, the levels are 20 parts per billion, and dry cereals’ levels are also 20 parts per billion.
“For more than 30 years, the FDA has been working to reduce exposure to lead, and other environmental contaminants, from foods. This work has resulted in a dramatic decline in lead exposure from foods since the mid-1980s,” FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-announces-action-levels-lead-categories-processed-baby-foods" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
“For babies and young children who eat the foods covered in today’s draft guidance, the FDA estimates that these action levels could result in as much as a 24-27% reduction in exposure to lead from these foods,” Califf added.
When deciding on the levels, the agency took into account, with other items, the amount of lead that could be in a food item with no exposure from eating it surpassing the agency’s Interim Reference Level. It also pointed out that produce and grains naturally take in nutrients, but they can also bring on harmful materials.
The agency noted that the guidelines are not binding, but it would take the levels into consideration, along with other items, when deciding whether to “bring enforcement action” in certain situations. It also anticipates that the recommendations will push the makers of these products to bring the amount of lead in their items under the action levels set forth.
“The action levels in today’s draft guidance are not intended to direct consumers in making food choices. To support child growth and development, we recommend parents and caregivers feed children a varied and nutrient-dense diet across and within the main food groups of vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy and protein foods,” said Susan Mayne, the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition director.
“This approach helps your children get important nutrients and may reduce potential harmful effects from exposure to contaminants from foods that take up contaminants from the environment,” Mayne added.
Some noted that the guidelines weren’t quite good enough to do much.
“Nearly all baby foods on the market already comply with what they have proposed,” Jane Houlihan, the National Director of Science and Health at Healthy Babies Bright Futures, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/24/health/baby-food-lead-levels-fda-wellness/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Consumer Reports noted that the FDA didn’t recommend levels for “baby junk food,” which it claimed can, many times, have the most lead.
“It appears that the proposed standards were set based more on current industry feasibility to achieve the limits and not solely on levels that would best protect public health,” Brian Ronholm, Consumer Reports’ director of food policy <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/fda-proposes-limits-for-lead-in-baby-food-11674588483?mod=hp_listb_pos3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.

A North Carolina cosmetic surgeon who posts photos of patients on whom she has performed radical surgeries to remove their breasts or genitalia reportedly posted a photo of a 15-year-old girl who had her breasts removed.
Dr. Hope Sherie, a “double board-certified surgeon with over two decades of experience and a gift for long-term client relationships,&#8221; according to her <a href="https://www.cosmeticconciergemd.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, had formerly served as an Air Force surgeon. Sherie’s website includes “before” and “after” photos of clients who have had the radical surgeries and one photo allegedly showed a 15-year-old who underwent a double mastectomy.
&#8220;15-year-old male, 3 months after FTM Chest Reconstruction with Nipple Grafts Note: Patient requested straight incisions,&#8221; read the entry under the graphic image, which The Daily Wire is not publishing. The photo was removed from Sherie&#8217;s site after <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1617173514410229761?s=20&amp;t=PHPh__rQr7VO6vOxD_GqNQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libs of Tik Tok posted it</a>.
Sherie boasts on her website of helping patients surgically alter their bodies to match their perceived gender.
“Everything I do is directed towards one clear objective – to help you achieve your health and beauty goals,” Sherie wrote on her website. “I understand the power of change and the freedom that comes from knowing you can choose to make changes in your body that feel more like you. I think everyone should be able to create an image which makes them feel comfortable, or inspired, or just seen for who you are.”
In a section titled “Transgender Surgery,” the website <a href="https://www.cosmeticconciergemd.com/transgender-procedures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>, “At Cosmetic Concierge, we understand the need to bring out the ‘real’ you.”
Cosmetic Concierge did not respond to a Daily Wire inquiry into the photo of a 15-year-old reportedly posted on its website.
Scott Newgent, a biological female who underwent a surgical “transition” and was featured in The Daily Wire’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What Is A Woman?</a>” documentary, is a leading critic of radical transgender surgeries for children.
&#8220;Right now, we are taking children who do not fit in at a time when they are desperate to do so, and we are robbing these kids of the opportunity to find internal happiness,&#8221; Newgent said in an <a href="https://www.genderdysphoriaalliance.com/post/meet-scott-newgent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with Gender Dysphoria Alliance</a>. &#8220;We are telling children &#8230; there is something wrong with you. If you just take this hormone blocker, or inject these synthetic cross-sex hormones, or chop off your otherwise healthy breasts, you will fit in.
&#8220;And if, &#8216;Oops,&#8217; we are wrong and you are not trans, then don’t worry because it’s all reversible.”

What Is A Woman

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Priyanka Chopra</a> got candid about the birth of her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">daughter</a>, Malti Mari, and hinted at why she chose to use a surrogate to expand her family.
Chopra and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">musician</a> husband Nick Jonas welcomed the baby in January 2022. The 40-year-old star explained to British Vogue why she opted to use a surrogate rather than getting pregnant herself. 
&#8220;I had medical complications,&#8221; Chopra <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/priyanka-chopra-jonas-british-vogue-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the publication for the February cover story. &#8220;This was a necessary step, and I&#8217;m so grateful I was in a position where I could do this. Our surrogate was so generous, kind, lovely, and funny, and she took care of this precious gift for us for six months.&#8221;
She went on to describe the backlash she’s received for choosing surrogacy.
Critics of surrogacy and other reproductive technology insist it turns children into a commodity. They point out how women with less economic means are often selected to serve as surrogates for wealthy individuals, including celebrities. Plus, if the child is born from an egg donor and/or donated sperm, the process denies them the chance of knowing their biological parents.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t know me,&#8221; the “Matrix: Resurrections” alum went on. &#8220;You don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ve been through. And just because I don&#8217;t want to make my medical history, or my daughter&#8217;s, public doesn&#8217;t give you the right to make up whatever the reasons were.&#8221;
During the interview, Chopra also went into detail about her experience following Malti’s premature birth.
&#8220;I was in the OR when she came out,&#8221; the “Baywatch” actress recalled. &#8220;She was so small, smaller than my hand. I saw what the intensive care nurses do. They do God&#8217;s work. Nick and I were both standing there as they intubated her. I don&#8217;t know how they even found what they needed in her tiny body to intubate her.&#8221;
The mom of one said she spent long days after that bonding with her daughter as she stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). “We spent every single day with her on my chest, on my husband’s chest,” Chopra said of that time. “I didn’t know if she would make it or not.”
Previously, Bangladeshi poet and novelist Taslima Nasreen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feminist-writer-slams-surrogacy-as-readymade-babies-after-priyanka-chopra-and-nick-jonas-announce-new-addition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went viral</a> for reacting to Chopra and Jonas’ baby news by saying, “How do those mothers feel when they get their readymade babies through surrogacy? Do they have the same feelings for the babies like the mothers who give birth to the babies?”
Chopra and Jonas are not the only celebrities who welcomed their baby via surrogate. Some other big names who also used surrogates include Khloe Kardashian, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, Kristin Wiig, Gabrielle Union, and others.

A group of Ohio parents is suing their local school district, alleging that &#8220;activist teachers&#8221; talked about gender and sexuality with students as young as six.
The eight parents filed the <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/620368102/Lawsuit-2023-01-16-Complaint-Final-1-003-Redacted#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> Monday in federal court against Hilliard City Schools in Columbus.
The lawsuit claims the district allows &#8220;activist teachers&#8221; to have &#8220;intimate conversations&#8221; with children as young as six about &#8220;sexual behaviors, sexual attitudes, mental and psychological questions of the student and the student’s family, and private religious practices.&#8221;
These conversations are taking place &#8220;without parental consent and knowledge&#8221; and that teachers are taking &#8220;specific actions&#8221; to hide them from parents, according to the lawsuit.
&#8220;This is a recipe for indoctrination and child abuse,&#8221; the lawsuit states.
The conversations with students have &#8220;led to a very dangerous outcome,&#8221; <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/hilliard-parents-sue-school-district/530-7b943484-b109-4416-b4d3-3ba775501904" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> attorney Joshua Brown, who is representing the parents.
&#8220;The parents were contacted one day and told that the student was suicidal at school. And when they got to the school and talk to the social worker, they were told that the school was counseling and treating the child for gender dysphoria, and never informed the parent,” Brown said.
The parents also claim that a teacher posted sexual educational materials on a bulletin board that included &#8220;definitions of sexual items&#8221; that are &#8220;not part of the district standards.&#8221;
The parents claim that the district&#8217;s legal counsel refused to explain the district&#8217;s official policy on these issues.
&#8220;The schools do not have the right to withhold information from parents for any reason. Especially when it involves mental health,&#8221; <a href="https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/hilliard-city-schools-parents-republican-group-lawsuit-lgbtq-idoctrination-badges-qr-code-ohio-parental-rights-mental-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Lisa Chaffee, one of the lawsuit&#8217;s plaintiffs and the director of Ohio Parents Rights in Education.
Superintendent David Stewart <a href="https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/hilliard-city-schools-district-responds-to-parents-lawsuit/530-91f18217-d749-4aad-9e45-d13c6d6af039" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the parents are making “broad-brush accusations” in a <a href="https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/hilliard-superintendent-reacts-to-lawsuit-filed-against-district-by-conservative-parents-lgbtq-badges-support-mental-health-sexuality-conversations-education-federal-court-central-ohio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Wednesday.
Stewart said he took action when he was alerted to the issue of teachers surveying students about their pronouns and asking them which pronouns should be used in parental communications.
The superintendent said that the district does not support surveying students on this topic, and every teacher should now be aware of this.
&#8220;While it may not be best practice, it is not illegal,” Stewart said.
Stewart also addressed the LGBT &#8220;I&#8217;m Here&#8221; badges issued by the local teachers union and worn by some teachers.
The lawsuit claimed that the badges have a QR code linking to instructions about sexual positions that could be scanned by students from far away and that one student was given a badge.
The superintendent said that the front of the badge, the part visible to students, reads &#8220;I&#8217;m Here&#8221; with the signature LGBT colored stripes. The back of the badge has a QR code for teachers that could potentially lead to material &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; for students. The district decided to cover the QR codes, and they are not aware of any student accessing it, Stewart said.
&#8220;The lawsuit calls for counselors, not teachers, to be called in when issues arise concerning a student’s medical or mental health. We agree. Indeed, the single example cited in the lawsuit involves a student exhibiting the need for mental health counseling who was taken to a professional social worker. The social worker then contacted and met with the student’s parents,” Stewart said.

A Democratic state lawmaker in Connecticut introduced a bill that would allow children 12 years old and above to receive vaccines without parental consent.
Democratic State Rep. Kevin Ryan, who represents Connecticut&#8217;s 139th District, introduced <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23573461/an-act-allowing-children-12-years-of-age-and-older-to-receive-a-vaccination-without-the-consent-of-a-parent-or-guardian.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Bill 5480</a> this week.
“The legislation proposed is an issue that has been an important concern for my constituent. As their representative, it’s my duty to express their requests and ensure their concerns have been taken seriously, especially on a health care issue,” Ryan <a href="https://www.wtnh.com/news/politics/proposed-bill-would-allow-12-year-olds-to-get-vaccines-without-parental-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
The proposal was referred by the state House to the Joint Committee on Public Health, <a href="https://www.wfsb.com/2023/01/17/bill-proposes-allowing-12-year-olds-get-vaccines-without-parental-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> WSFB-TV.
It is uncertain whether Ryan&#8217;s bill will receive a floor vote. The decision will be determined by the state House&#8217;s health committee.
State House Minority Leader Vinnie Candelora, a Republican, spoke out against Ryan&#8217;s legislation.
“It’s a road that Connecticut keeps trying to push, the Democrats keep pushing this issue and I think it’s really important to have parents involved in their child’s lives so I find the proposal very disturbing,” Candelora said, according to WSFB-TV.
Current state law in Connecticut requires the permission of a parent or guardian for anyone under 18 years old to receive a vaccine in the state, <a href="https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/state-parental-consent-laws-for-covid-19-vaccination/?currentTimeframe=0&amp;sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> the Kaiser Family Foundation.
A total of 43 states require parental consent to take COVID vaccines. Most states require parental consent until the age of 18. Oregon teenagers can take COVID vaccines without parental consent starting at age 15, while Rhode Island, North Carolina, and South Carolina allow vaccines without parental consent starting at 16 years old.
In February 2022, Democratic California State Sen. Scott Wiener <a href="https://calmatters.org/health/2022/09/vaccines-for-teens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> a similar bill in his state that would allow minors over the age of 12 to receive COVID vaccines without parental consent. The proposal failed to pass over concerns of government overreach.
The American Academy of Pediatrics <a href="https://www.aap.org/en/pages/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19-infections/children-and-covid-19-vaccination-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that as of January 4, approximately 17.8 million children ages 12-17 have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine, while 15.2 million have completed two doses.
About 8.4 million 12-to-17-year-olds have not received a dose of the COVID vaccine, according to the report.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-safety-children-teens.html#:~:text=CDC%20recommends%20COVID%2D19%20vaccines,years%20and%20older%2C%20if%20eligible." target="_blank" rel="noopener">recommends</a> COVID vaccines for everyone aged 6 months and older, and COVID boosters for everyone aged 5 years and older, if eligible.
Data released last week observed that the percentage of U.S. children entering kindergarten with their required immunizations fell to 93% in the 2021-22 school year, representing a 1% decrease nationwide.
“While 1 percentage point might not seem concerning, that one percent represents tens of thousands of children who are inadequately protected from diseases we can easily prevent through immunization,” said Dr. Michelle Fiscus, chief medical officer at the Association of Immunization Managers, <a href="https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2023/01/12/child-vaccination-rates-already-down-because-of-covid-fall-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> The Associated Press.
The concern made headlines recently as reports of measles cases increased in the nation last year, particularly in parts of Ohio, after the illness had been nearly eradicated.
“This national trend is alarming, especially as we see outbreaks of measles in Ohio among children who are too young to be vaccinated and those who are inadequately vaccinated. We need all hands on deck to get these children protected,” Fiscus added.
The Daily Wire has reached out to Ryan for comment on the newly proposed legislation.

A fashion designer who lived for 16 years in Communist China, where she raised her two daughters, celebrated her children being “co-parented by the Chinese government.”
Heather Kaye offered her sanguine opinion of communist China in an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/18/opinion/china-education-parenting-culture.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion piece</a> in The New York Times.
Kaye chortled that she “laughed out loud” when viewing a picture online of an American woman wearing a T-shirt emblazoned, “I refuse to co-parent with the government.”
“In China, government co-parenting begins in the womb,” Kaye declared, noting the limits China had for years placed on the number of children parents could have and Chinese citizens are still forbidden from determining the “gender of their unborn babies.”
“I had to accept that my growing belly had become community property &#8230; restaurants would refuse to serve me cold beverages,” she recalled.
“In 2008 and 2010 we delivered two healthy daughters in Shanghai and faced the choice of all expatriate parents in China: between pricey international schools and enrollment in local schools, overseen by the government and with an immersion in Chinese culture and values,” she wrote, adding that after considering that their daughters would learn “fluent Mandarin and, hopefully, a broadened worldview” but also be exposed to “Communist Party propaganda and potential social isolation of being foreigners in a group of Chinese students &#8230; we took the plunge.”
“Our stringent government co-parent quickly made its presence felt,” Kaye wrote, including “how many hours our daughters should sleep, what they should eat and their optimal weight. Each morning all of the students performed calisthenics in straight rows and raised China’s red flag while singing the national anthem.”
Kaye celebrated the benefits of her girls attending the Chinese communist school: “self-discipline, integrity and respect for elders.”
“At times, our girls would repeat propaganda,” she acknowledged, lauding the “heavy censorship, which results in a kid-friendly internet, and national limits on how many hours young people can spend playing online video games.”
Kaye praised the “tight control of the Communist Party surveillance state” for allowing her daughters to ride the subway by the age of 11. “The sense of civic pride was palpable,” she opined.
“We’ve returned to a divided America where many feel government has no place in our lives,” Kaye wrote despairingly. “In these times, I find myself missing my Chinese co-parent.”
“Attention to the common good is a fundamental value I seek in an American government co-parent,” Kaye concluded.

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Lee Curtis</a> is facing criticism for a now-deleted Instagram post featuring a piece of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">art</a> hanging in her home.
&#8220;Ok. This is a weird post. But I have Covid, so f*** it. During one of the SAG nomination panels for @everythingeverywheremovie I told the story of how I ended up with my office furnished with my beautiful Pollack chairs from that movie,&#8221; she wrote in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> image caption.
&#8220;I mentioned if people followed me, that was not a cheap trick to try to get people to boost my numbers, but I couldn&#8217;t figure out how else to get the picture out into the world, that I would post a picture of them on my IG in my offices for @comet.pictures and I am a truth teller so here you go.&#8221;
The photo featured a table and chairs, but followers immediately noticed the artwork hanging on the wall. The image showed what appeared to be a naked child stuffed into a box. Many social media users called Curtis out, after which she deleted the post entirely.
“Why does Jamie Lee Curtis have a picture of a naked child stuffed inside a suitcase on her wall? Strong Epstein vibes,” podcast host Stew Peters shared alongside a screenshot of Curtis&#8217; original Instagram post.

This incident comes at a time when social media users are on high alert following the Balenciaga ad campaign featuring children holding teddy bears wearing bondage-themed gear. The high fashion house yanked the campaign following public outcry and apologized for its misstep.
“This was a wrong choice by Balenciaga, combined with our failure in assessing and validating images.

The city of Cambridge, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/massachusetts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Massachusetts</a>, is hosting a youth sports event for &#8220;girlx.&#8221;
The city announced that it would host the free event for elementary school children from kindergarten through 5th grade on Wednesday. The event is open to &#8220;girlx&#8221; who want to get involved in local sports. The city defines the world &#8220;girlx&#8221; as all who identify “as a girl or with girlhood,&#8221; in the same vein as other gender-inclusive neologisms like &#8220;womxn&#8221; and &#8220;Latinx.&#8221;
&#8220;Did you know that girlx who play sports are more likely to have better grades, high levels of confidence, and develop the critical skills necessary for success in the work place?&#8221; Cambridge posted in an <a href="https://www.cambridgema.gov/News/detail?path=/sitecore/content/home/dhsp/newsandevents/news/2023/01/girlxsportsnight&amp;utm_campaign=sproutsocial&amp;utm_content=1673469802&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announcement</a> for the event last week. &#8220;The fun, free event is for families with girlx (anyone who identifies as a girl or with girlhood) in Kindergarten through 5th grade. It&#8217;s an opportunity for girlx to explore new sports, learn about existing teams, and enjoy prizes, pizza, games, and hands-on demonstrations.&#8221;
The event is scheduled for Wednesday at the War Memorial field house, a rec center near the campus of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/from-infants-to-older-adults-harvard-medical-school-offers-class-on-transgender-medicine-across-the-lifespan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard University</a>. It is sponsored by Cambridge Commission on the Status of Women, the Office of the Mayor, and the Department of Human Services Programs.
A flyer for the event lists some of the sports available for &#8220;girlx&#8221; to try. They include basketball, cheerleading, football, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and softball, among others. A tweet from the city also states that &#8220;all participating girlx will receive one free swim pass to the War Memorial pool.”

Conservatives knocked the announcement, blasting the city for using &#8220;girlx&#8221; and comparing it to other constructed words like &#8220;Latinx.&#8221;

On Monday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oregon-middle-schoolers-allowed-to-skip-class-to-watch-transgender-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that middle school students at the Twality Middle School near Portland, Oregon, were allowed to skip class in order to watch a TV show about a 12-year-old boy who identifies as a girl. The school held a &#8220;watch party&#8221; for the show, entitled &#8220;First Day.&#8221; The drama series premiered in Australia in 2020, and tells the story of the transgender preteen who &#8220;not only has to navigate the challenges that come with starting a new school, but find the courage to live as her most authentic self,&#8221; the show&#8217;s <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10614090/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IMDb page</a> reads.
The TV-watching session happened during the middle school’s “Transgender Awareness Week” held from November 13 to 19. Students skipped their last two class periods that Friday to watch the show’s first two episodes.
The school will eventually play the entire series, Twality said in one of several PowerPoint presentations shown to students, according to a public records request viewed by The Daily Wire.
