Religious Rights, Planned Parenthood, and Local Politics: A Morning Briefing

about the man , so I'm going to let the experts talk about him . You're going to hear probably all about him today , and I know Jeffy will definitely be talking about him on Pat Gray , so let's listen to all of that Meanwhile . So by the time you get over here , though , you've already heard it . Okay , I have some stories here on my X-File .

What do I want to start ? I think I only have two , because I wanted to talk about some other things that I wrote on the blog . All right , chicago public school students

awarded 2.6 million dollars after being forced into demonic Hindu meditation . Demonic Hindu meditation Whoa ? I don't understand that . This is from LifeSite News . I always thought Hindu was like , I don't know . I didn't think it was demonic , but I guess if it's not Christian , it must be demonic , right ?

I don't know , I don't know anything about that kind of thing . The Chicago Board of Education and the New York-based David Lynch Foundation will pay out $2.6 million to former Chicago public schools , high school students over forced transcendental meditation indoctrination . This is a public school and they're forcing this kind of religion . Wait a minute .

I thought what about ? Where are you aclu people ? Separation of church and state where's all ? Where's all of that ? Okay , I'm gonna leave the . I'm gonna leave the voices , the invitations to pat gray . I'm gonna stop doing as Mr Shons likes to point out about a certain female blaze host . Okay , school students over forced transcendental meditation indoctrination .

On May 7th 2025 , judge Matthew Kennelly of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois approved the class action settlement . Well , tell me about the schools . Tell me about what happened here . The school's compulsory participation violated students' rights and even included non-disclosure agreements . What At least one student shared ?

How she and a classmate were instructed not to tell anyone , including their parents , about the program . Oh my gosh , red flags all over the place . If this is true , a representative from the David Lynch Foundation allegedly warned them specifically not to inform religious parents . Attorney John so-and-so represented the students . Okay , blah , blah , blah .

All right , I'm trying . Hudgens , now 22 years old , was the lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit . This happened a while ago . She recounted that at age 16 , she was forced to take part in the program called Quiet Time . Her participation was mandatory , despite any personal objections .

She described how , despite its innocuous title , the program included a private one-on-one Hindu puja worship ceremony in a darkened room , chanting religious paraphernalia and secret mantras that were actually the names of Hindu gods . She said .

I was just a teenager when I was pressured into a program I didn't understand it , wasn't allowed and was not allowed to question . No student should ever be forced into religious practice against their will , especially not in a public school . I agree , the settlement is a step to Wow , I mean . So they took this to court . They won . Wow .

This happened 2015 , I guess through 2019 , who reached age 18 . Oh , wow . Anyway , if you want to go finish reading that , you can . It's on my X file , all right , we're moving on to the next one Planned Parenthood . They're still offering transgender hormones to minors over their first appointment and some of them are just even over the phone .

You don't even have to show up in person . This is still happening , people ,

still happening in the United States of America , and remember some Republicans did not want to defund it . Planned Parenthood may be most notorious for abortion on demand most notorious for abortion on demand , but is nearly as aggressive in supplying cross-sex hormones to gender-confused teenagers , according to a new report by the pro-life group Live Action .

Alongside its abortion focus , planned Parenthood advertises itself as a safe and welcoming place to get so-called transgender non-binary hormone therapy , including estrogen , anti-androgen , testosterone and puberty blockers . According to its most recent annual report , 45 of its affiliates offered what it called gender-affirming hormone therapy in 2022 .

For its latest investigation , live Action had an undercover reporter place phone calls to Planned Parenthood locations in Minnesota , oregon , maine , new York , new Jersey , new Mexico , colorado and Washington DC . Do these states surprise you at all ?

At seven out of 33 facilities that is way too much staffers confirmed they would prescribe cross-sex hormones at the first appointment , even virtually . Staffers at five facilities said even minors did not need proof of having undergone therapy , mental health clearance or prior documentation as part of mental health assessment .

Okay , I need whoever's in charge of the government and this sort of thing to go knock on their door and shut them down . Do it . What is what ? What's taking you so long ? I don't understand . I don't understand . All right , we're going to move on to my Americanist blog , where I have a couple .

The last two blog entries that I have are mainly focused on local government type things . One is the Red , white and Ready . Jd Vance's brother did you know he had a brother takes on Blue Cincinnati

. So it's really his half-brother . They share the same father , different mothers . Jd Vance's half-brother is running for mayor and Cincinnati might finally get a reality check . I guess the state is kind of red , but Cincinnati is blue and has been for a long time . So these big cities , and it's the same with Georgia .

I think the state of Georgia is red , but Atlanta is blue , which makes it all purple . Same thing with here in Alabama . So it's these bigger cities that are blue . How did this happen ?

So this is what we need to focus on as a group , I think nowadays is to get into your local um cities , municipalities , whatever you call them , and start focusing our efforts there on the ground . Uh , so there's that . And then also over here y'all . I don't understand this . I hope you go read this .

My next blog entry rainbow washing how salt lake city and boys circumvented state flag bans . I wrote a big old , long art , uh blog post on that . And uh , let me just read a couple of

the paragraphs to you because the mayor here's what .

Salt lake city mayor , mayor Aaron Mendenhall , said , with a straight face , after pushing through the progressive pride flag as a city emblem , what they did was , I guess the state or I don't know if it's through executive orders or I can't remember if it was that or if the state actually said you cannot put pride flags in classrooms federal government .

So what did the cities do ? They decided to make it their city flag . These people are crazy . They will do anything to push this trans cult crap onto future generations .

Okay , so here's what she said with a straight face symbols , these flags , reflect our shared humanity and the values that help everyone feel they belong , no matter their background , orientation or beliefs . Now here's what I say oh , spare me . We don't need special flags to prove people matter .

Inclusion doesn't come from a rainbow banner fluttering over the city hall . We already have a flag that represents everyone . It's called Old Glory . Over the city hall , we already have a flag that represents everyone . It's called Old Glory . The stars and stripes represent all Americans . No special symbols required .

You are included the moment you exist in this country as a human being with rights , something this nation has defended with blood , sacrifice and grit . That's what I'm going to read to you . I hope you go finish reading that over there , and I need to wrap it up because I'm going long . Here is the question of the day .

All right , we're going to keep it easy . Give me your cringiest dad joke . I have some . I love dad jokes . By the way , why is six afraid of seven ? Because seven ate nine . What do you call a pig that knows karate ? A pork chop ? Oh my gosh

, I could go on . Give me your best dad jokes . I love dad jokes . Okay , I gotta go . Have a great weekend and
