Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The radical LGBT & Q activists and the powerful abortion lobby are doing everything they can to ram the dangerous “Equality Act” down the throats of every American. This bill will revoke the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act’s protections and push both the LGBTQ and abortion agendas into our homes, our schools, and yes, even our churches.
HR 15, the deceptively named “Equality Act,” is not about equality! Yet ALL the Democrats in the U.S. House support this dreadful bill and need just a few more votes from the Republicans to pass it. With 212 Democrat votes secured, this bill will pass if only six Republicans sign on — thus bypassing the Speaker and rushing this to the floor for a final vote.
We must protect America’s future against the Equality Act. We’ll share more below. — Your Faith & Liberty team
Fax the U.S. House NOW — Tell them to STOP THE “EQUALITY ACT.”
Churches and religious schools must have the right to teach the next generation biblical values. Without this freedom, churches and schools become targets for oppression — and under the Equality Act (HR 15), costly litigation. Communist countries relentlessly target churches to silence them. That is exactly what HR 15 does to churches and religious schools.
Imagine a male “drag queen” instructing your children at school, and the school is powerless to say, “No, this violates our biblical beliefs as parents!” Seems far-fetched? It’s not.
In Madison, Wisconsin, an elementary teacher sent the K-5 children a video telling them to no longer refer to him as “Mr.” From henceforth, they must refer to him as “Mx” because he is “neither male nor female.” He says he is “both, and sometimes neither.”
Just as disturbing, this educator teaches science, leaving one to wonder just how “Mx” intends to skew incontrovertible biology to justify his own gender confusion ... and to further confuse his young students.
If this person, who now goes by “Mx. Steele,” taught your children in your child’s school — even your church or private school — HR 15 would give him the legal right to do what he did in this public school. Resistance would result in lawsuits by the U.S. Department of Justice as well as by private individuals for “discrimination.”
The “Equality Act” will force churches and religious schools — pre-K through college — to remain silent and submit.
Not only will churches and religious schools face costly lawsuits, but they could also lose tax exemption, and schools will lose accreditation. For most schools, especially colleges and universities, loss of accreditation is a death sentence.
Remember the for-profit ITT Technical Institute? It closed after losing accreditation. The 70 campuses of Brightwood College also closed in 2018 after losing accreditation.
Many colleges will not accept credits from unaccredited schools, and many graduate schools will not accept students from unaccredited undergraduate programs. Students attending unaccredited schools are ineligible for student loans. The loss of accreditation would devastate most schools unless they choose to cave to the radical LGBT & Q and abortion agenda.
