‘Free to express opinions’: Oregon district pays $650,000 to settle with educators who objected to trans lessons

The trans ideology as promoted by Joe Biden and his administration for years includes giving chemicals to children to delay puberty, then doing mutilating body surgeries on the child.
Grants Pass, Ore., educators Katie Medart and Rachel Sager had launched a grassroots movement called “I Resolve” to speak out on a school gender identity education policy, and to offer alternatives that would allow teachers to continue teaching without submitting their religious beliefs to the social agenda.
And one that would respect the rights of parents to know what their children were being given in school.
They posted a video on their own website promoting their beliefs and efforts.
Subsequently, Grants Pass School District 7 officials suspended them, then fired them.
“Educators are free to express opinions on fundamental issues of public concern—like gender identity education policy—that implicate the freedoms of teachers, parents, and students,” said Mathew Hoffman, of the ADF, which represented the teachers along with the Pacific Justice Institute.
“The Grants Pass School District is taking the right step by acknowledging that teachers don’t give up their First Amendment rights when they set foot on school property. Public schools can’t retaliate against speech simply because they disagree with what’s said.”
Sager and Medart have worked in the education field for many years, including at North Middle School in Grants Pass. Sager served as assistant principal, and Medart taught science there, the legal teams explained.
Their legal action charging the school violated their free speech, religious freedom and equal protection rights was settled with the district agreeing to pay $650,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees.
And the school is issuing a public statement acknowledging that the teachers’ wrongful termination fell short of its standards and responsibilities, providing positive letters of recommendation for both, and revising the district’s policies and practices to comply with the First Amendment.
The case had been headed for trial, which the district avoided by reaching the settlement, after the usually far-left 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in the teachers’ favor by partly vacating a lower court’s decision for the school, and ordering a trial to be held.

‘Selectively enforced’: Chicago sued for discriminating against Christian teachers
School officials in the city of Chicago are being sued by the famed Moody Bible Institute for their public schools programs that banish qualified prospective teachers from Moody from participating in required classroom observations.
“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that religious institutions and religious people have the same rights as everybody else,” said a lawyer for the ADF, which is representing Moody.
“We believe that the First Amendment speaks very clearly to that issue. And just like Christian students shouldn’t be forced to give up opportunities for following their faith, a Christian school shouldn’t be forced to choose between its faith and advancing educational opportunities for its students,” he said, according to a report at CBN.
The case is seeking a declaratory judgment and injunction to prevent Chicago Public Schools from continuing its discrimination against Moody students.
The filing charges the district not only has harmed the school’s reputation but also its elementary education students’ job prospects.
The action against the city and its board of education was triggered by officials’ decision to bar students from Moody from participating in a student-teacher program, because of the college’s faith-based hiring policies.
The filing was in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The report explained, “Moody Bible Institute’s Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education program requires prospective teachers to complete a minimum number of classroom observation, practicum, and student-teaching hours.”
But Chicago school officials are refusing to let Moody students participate “unless Moody abandons its religiously based hiring practices and hires employees who disagree with Moody’s core mission and biblical values,” the report said.
The heart of the issue is the district’s advocacy for the anti-biblical transgender agenda.
“As a condition of participation, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign agreements with employment nondiscrimination provisions that forbid Moody from employing only those who share and live out its faith,” the lawsuit charges.
Moody requested an amendment to the policy, as the district already has agreed with other schools including Trinity Christian College and Concordia University, but was refused.
“By allowing these other colleges and universities to participate in the Program, Chicago Public Schools demonstrates that it selectively enforces its employment nondiscrimination policy,” the filing charged.
WATCH: Dem congresswoman admits Democrats have ‘not done a good job’
Referring to the fact that her party has controlled Oregon politics for decades, a Democratic U.S. congresswoman has admitted on video: “We’ve had Democratic control for too long,” saying, “we’ve not done a good job.”
Rep. Maxine Dexter, D-Ore., represents Oregon’s Third Congressional District.
According to Ballotpedia, “Oregon has a Democratic trifecta and a Democratic triplex. The Democratic Party controls the offices of governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and both chambers of the state legislature.”
The last time Oregon had a Republican governor was in 1987.

Appeals judges insist on giving illegal-alien drivers roadway rights
Fatal Florida truck accidentIllegal alien truck drivers, including those who sometimes cannot read or speak English or recognize road signs, must have roadway rights, according to a panel of judges who ruled on the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on dangerous – and deadly – big rig operators.
A report published at Fox News said the ruling means the Department of Transportation’s limits on aliens getting commercial vehicle licenses cannot be enforced at this point.
The restrictions were created quickly after an illegal alien truck driver in Florida was accused of causing a tractor-trailer crash that killed three people.
Multiple other similar situations have developed since then, also costing lives.
Several of the truck drivers have tried to make U-turns through interstate medians, a maneuver that already is illegal, and have cause huge crash pileups.
The Florida case, near Fort Pierce, involved Harjinder Singh, of India.
He was in the United States illegally, and now has pleaded not guilty to three counts of vehicular homicide for his accident.
The ruling claimed the federal government didn’t follow procedures to create the rule.
Singh had gotten his license from California, and failed his exams multiple times.
A later audit of the state records prompted the revocation of some 17,000 such licenses.
According to the report, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, representing some 150,000 truckers, thanked the Trump administration for working to “restore commonsense safety standards.”
It said in a statement, “OOIDA applauds the Administration for seeing through the myth of a truck driver shortage and continuing efforts to restore commonsense safety standards on our nation’s highways. Pausing visas for commercial truck drivers will help ensure only qualified individuals get licensed. Additionally, there is unlikely to be any negative effect on the supply chain, as the trucking industry continues to face overcapacity.”
Already, federal officials have withheld $40 million from California because of its refusal to enforce English language requirements for truck drivers.

Hot potato: Multiple prosecutors refuse to take up Fani Willis’ case against Trump
Fani WillisWhen a Georgia state prosecutor, Fani Willis, was ordered off of the organized crime case she had assembled against President Donald Trump and others, a judge set a deadline of Friday morning to appoint a replacement or the case would be dismissed entirely.
No prosecutor wanted it. Many refused it.
So Peter Skandalakis, chief of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, appointed himself to meet that deadline.
He still could now review the evidence and recommend a dismissal anyway.
The case has involved scandal after scandal after scandal for Georgia. Willis hired her paramour to help develop the case, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax money on him. The two apparently took exotic vacations together, and Willis claimed she paid him back her share … in cash.
Eventually the courts ordered the paramour, Nathan Wade, off the case, and an appeals ruling later said Willis herself, and her office, were contaminated by the apparent conflicts of interest and had to be gone.
A report at the Washington Examiner said the “sweeping racketeering” case has been suspended by uncertainty for weeks now.
The report said Skandalakis confirmed no one else would accept the assignment of working on Willis’ failure.
Steve Sadow, representing Trump, repeated his suggestion that the case be dropped entirely.
“This politically charged prosecution has to come to an end,” he said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “We remain confident that a fair and impartial review will lead to a dismissal of the case against President Trump.”
The case claims Trump and others tried to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election.
“The filing of this appointment reflects my inability to secure another conflict prosecutor to assume responsibility for this case,” Skandalakis said in a Fulton County Superior Court filing.
“Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment. Out of respect for their privacy and professional discretion, I will not identify those prosecutors or disclose their reasons for declining.”
He said the move will let him decide the “best course of action” for the future of the case.
Willis named Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and a long list of political aides, lawyers, and Republican electors as co-defendants.
Four defendants pleaded guilty: bail bondsman Scott Hall, who admitted to misdemeanor conspiracy charges; former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, who pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts; Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis, who pleaded guilty to a felony count of aiding and abetting false statements; and attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiring to file false documents, the Examiner reported.
Other defendants include Giuliani, Meadows, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark, Ray Smith, Austin Cheeley, Scott “Matt” Shafer, Shawn Still, Caroline Wooten Kutti, Harrison Floyd, Kurt Hilbert, Mike Roman, David Lee, and Robert Cheeley, all of whom have pleaded not guilty.

‘Imaginary people’: Trump-backed candidate for governor joins lawsuit over ‘corrupted’ census
Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida speaks on a CNN panelRepublican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida has joined a lawsuit challenging what plaintiffs describe as the “unlawful manipulation” of the 2020 census that allegedly caused the GOP stronghold to lose out on congressional seats.
The suit was originally filed in September by the University of South Florida College Republicans and the Pinellas County Young Republicans, but was amended Wednesday to add Donalds — a three-term congressman and Trump-endorsed candidate for Florida governor — as a plaintiff. The lawsuit’s plaintiffs allege that the U.S. Census Bureau counted “imaginary people instead of real Americans,” costing Florida two additional House seats.
“Our Founders made it crystal clear in the Constitution that an actual count of every person, every ten years, is used to decide representation in Congress, not flawed statistical guesswork,” Donalds said in a statement shared with the DCNF. “The blatant disregard for our Constitution and federal law by the Census Bureau in 2020 was not only highly illegal but also directly corrupted the electoral process.”
The Census Bureau conducts a nationwide population count every decade, the results of which determine the apportionment of congressional seats and the balance of political power across the country. The census has been criticized, including by President Donald Trump, for allegedly inflating numbers in blue states and including illegal immigrants.
According to the complaint, the bureau used statistical methods prohibited by law, and added millions of “fictitious college students to dormitories that sat empty during the pandemic.”
“The combined effect: approximately 2.5 million phantom people were added to certain states, most of them blue states, while Florida — a red state — was systematically undercounted,” the complaint states.
The plaintiffs are seeking a three-judge panel to review the claims and several forms of relief, including a declaration that the 2020 Census was unlawful, an injunction barring the use of the same methods in the 2030 Census, and an order requiring the Bureau to produce a new 2020 report without the disputed statistical methods.
The case names Howard Lutnick, secretary of the Department of Commerce — which oversees the Census Bureau — and George Cook, the bureau’s acting director, as defendants.
“The Constitution and laws of the United States have requirements for the Census for good reason,” Gene Hamilton, president of America First Legal, which is representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement to the DCNF. “It determines representation, funding, and even how the president is elected. Representation must be based on real counts of real Americans.
Donalds added that “the integrity of our electoral system begins with an accurate census,” and that Florida voters “should not lose their rightful representation due to bureaucratic manipulation.”
The Florida representative is considered the frontrunner to replace Gov. Ron DeSantis, having already received Trump’s endorsement. However, speculation is mounting that Lt. Gov. Jay Collins — appointed by DeSantis to the role in August — could enter the race with the governor’s backing.

‘The Unaffordable Care Act has failed’: Mike Johnson not giving in to Democrats’ main demand over shutdown
President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson speak to members of the media at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, May 20, 2025, before meeting with the House GOP Conference about passing his budget bill. (Official White House photo by Molly Riley)House Speaker Mike Johnson told “Mornings with Maria” host Maria Bartiromo Friday he has not promised to bring up legislation to extend certain COVID-19 pandemic-era payouts for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The Senate passed an amended continuing resolution Monday that would keep the government open through Jan. 30, 2026, after seven Democrats and one independent voted to end a filibuster led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer after Republicans agreed to hold a vote on legislation providing an extension of enhanced subsidies for the ACA. Johnson told Bartiromo he wouldn’t seek to continue “terrible policies,” and did not feel obliged to bring the measure to the floor of the House for a vote.

“I haven’t, and there is a lot of reasons why. First of all, the Unaffordable Care Act has failed the American people, it has done the opposite what they promised they would do, the Democrats broke the American healthcare system,” Johnson told the Fox Business host when she asked if the House would vote on the measure. “The reason your premiums are skyrocketing you have terrible policies and one of them is subsidizing insurance companies. That is what this Covid era subsidy was about. Remember, the Democrat Party created this on their own, they are the ones that put expiration date on it, Dec. 31 of this year, because they knew it was a boondoggle, there is no way they could justify that being permanent policy.”
“What we have said is if there was going to be an extension of that there would be massive reform, you need income caps on that,” Johnson continued. “We should not be subsidizing healthcare for wealthy people, and also, you need all sorts of reforms, you need Hyde protections on things, other innovations.”
Schumer came under fire from left-wing media figures and Democrats in Congress over his decision to help pass a GOP-backed spending bill to prevent a government shutdown in March.
Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine and Democratic Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire negotiated the deal that led to Democrats, including Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Tim Kaine of Virginia , Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada and Dick Durbin of Illinois, to vote to end the filibuster of the continuing resolution.
“The Republican Party has known this is going to expire the end of the year, as everyone in Congress has, we were always preparing to work through that deliberative fashion through October, November, December, but ironically, Democrats, because of their shenanigans, took a lot of the time off the clock,” Johnson said.
“We are working on it in earnest. The Republican Party will bring down healthcare costs, not the Democrats,” Johnson continued.

‘You are sacred’: Religious groups declare transgenderism ‘holy,’ confirming God makes mistakes man can fix
A collective of religious organizations has issued a statement declaring transgenderism “holy” and confirming that God makes mistakes, but they are such that man can fix them.
“During a time when our country is placing their lives under increasingly serious threat, there is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender — a great many of us do,” said the statement issued over the signatures of officials from the Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Church of Christ (UCC), the Unitarian Universalist Association, the Union for Reform Judaism, an association of Quakers and others.
A report at the Christian Post said the statement declaring transgenderism “holy” was “in direct rebuke of a vote by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to bar transgender procedures in Catholic healthcare facilities.”
But the rebuke actually was directed toward God, in support of an ideology that He makes mistakes in the gender assignments of individuals but human physicians can offer corrections for those mistakes.
The pages-long statement was self-described as a “landmark” comment “proclaiming that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are worthy of love, support, and protection.”
Signers included Unitarian Universalist Sofía Betancourt; Barry Crossno of the Friends General Conference; Cecilia Eggleston of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches; Yvette A. Flunder of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries; Rabbi Rick Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism; Jihyun Oh of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); Teresa Hord Owens of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ); Karen Georgia Thompson of the United Church of Christ (UCC); Rabbi Deborah Waxman of Reconstructing Judaism; and the Episcopal Church.
The paper asserts, “Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole.”
The demands are directed “to the American public, political leaders, and moral teachers.”
“As such, we raise our voices in solidarity to unequivocally proclaim the holiness of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, as well as the recognition of the entire spectrum of gender identity and expression,” it states.
Further, it describes as important efforts of “religious leaders” to speak out.
“When people of faith and conscience stay silent in the face of oppression, we are all made less whole. When people of faith and conscience speak out against that which violates the sacred in its own name, we have the power to stay the hand of sin. Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people are vulnerable today. Our faiths, our theologies, and our practices of prophetic witness call on us to say with one voice to transgender people among us: ‘You are holy. You are sacred. We love you. We support you, and we will protect you.'”
The Christian Post explained the leftist ideologists complained, “Too many entrusted with positions of power are demonizing transgender people, blaming them for acts of violence, and criminalizing their very right to occupy space in our common life. The fear that many transgender children, their families, and their loved ones experience is unacceptable. The drive to limit the ways that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people authentically live their lives – by limiting the medical care they receive, ignoring and sometimes provoking acts of violence against them, preventing them from traveling freely, or keeping them from participating in public activities — is a betrayal of our deeply held values as people of faith.”
Few efforts are around today that “limit” the ways people live. However, there are a multitude of efforts to prevent the delivery of various chemicals to children, and the accompanying body-mutilating surgeries the transgender agenda includes.
Further, there are efforts to prevent forcing American taxpayers from funding such extremist agendas.
The statement claimed, “Our scriptures vary, but they share a common conviction. As we make justice our aim we must give voice to those who are silenced. Our shared values, held across many faiths, teach us that we are all children of God and that we must cultivate a discipline of hope, especially in difficult times.”
The Christian Post warned, “The statement went on to suggest that opposing transgenderism is sinful, reiterating the belief that transgender, nonbinary and intersex individuals are intrinsically holy, which is the only attribute of God magnified to the third degree of repetition in the Bible.”
Betancourt’s biography boasts that she teaches “womanism and Earth justice,” and follows a statement from U.S. Catholic bishops that Catholic hospitals won’t participate in transgender activism, based on years of deliberation, Vatican guidance, and a 2023 doctrinal note, “Moral Limits to the Technological Manipulation of the Human Body.”
“Catholic health care services must not perform interventions, whether surgical or chemical, that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex, or take part in the development of such procedures,” the bishops said in the 2023 doctrinal note.
Of course, being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level and cannot be changed.
