Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way For Bureaucrats To Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents

EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way For Bureaucrats To Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents

“Transphobia is child abuse,” Alex Roque, who runs the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City, asserted on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) webinar last fall.

In less than three minutes, he cast a vision for completely transforming child protective systems nationwide. Family rejection of a child’s gender identity cannot be dismissed as a personal view, he argued. Non-affirmation must be treated as abuse. “If they were denying them food or denying them access to school or denying other things, there would be headlines,” Roque continued. “There would be prosecution.”

Among gender activists the Biden-Harris administration has enlisted to shape its policies, Roque’s definition of abuse is not fringe, and his vision for reshaping the system is not hypothetical.

While crafting its foster care rule finalized in April, HHS officials took inspiration from social workers in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, who spent years pioneering a program that strong-arms parents into affirming whatever confused beliefs children express about their gender. Parents who decline risk losing a voice in their child’s life.

The program developed in Cuyahoga County using federal grant funds provided the HHS’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) with an ideal model for infusing gender ideology into foster care and social services, the Daily Caller News Foundation discovered in reviewing hundreds of documents and emails obtained via public record requests.

The Biden-Harris administration’s new federal rule directs states to ensure foster children who identify as LGBTQ are placed in affirming homes. These “designated placements” must commit to creating an environment that supports a child’s “status or identity,” including through access to age-appropriate “resources, services, and activities.” To gender activists consulted by the Biden administration, being “affirming” means assuming the child knows best about his or her identity — even if what he or she claims to want is life-altering medical procedures like hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries to appear more like the opposite sex.

To Cuyahoga County child protective services, being affirming often means providing kids access to items like chest binders or prosthetic packers that mimic a penis, according to an information sheet for caregivers on the Cuyahoga County Division of Children & Family Services (DCFS) website.

Frequent communications with federal officials indicate Cuyahoga County played a prominent role in shaping the rule, which was just one part of a broader effort to support LGBTQ youth the agency undertook at the direction of President Joe Biden. But voices of county social workers weren’t the only ones the agency heard.

Councilwoman accused of forging signatures to help someone else qualify for ballot


'Had not signed the sheets themselves.'

The re-election efforts of a sitting city councilwoman in Michigan may be in jeopardy after she allegedly forged signatures on a petition in hopes of helping someone else qualify for the ballot.

Monique Lamar-Silvia, a 64-year-old pageant organizer and prison minister, is a member of the city council of Saginaw, Michigan, a blue-collar city of some 44,000 residents located about 100 miles northwest of Detroit. She is also among the 11 candidates currently vying this year for five seats on the council with four-year terms.

How democratic is the US really?

When Americans elect their next president in November, the candidate with the most votes might not be the winner. Democracy in the US comes with some quirks — and was under attack not so long ago. How is it faring today?

DEI the hotbed of anti Semitism

Jewish staffers at Condé Nast accuse ex-DEI chief of antisemitism: report


The former DEI chief at Condé Nast reportedly was accused of antisemitism by Jewish employees at the publishing giant — who complained that management was allowing its magazines to take a pro-Palestinian stance and that it failed to crack down on journalists who took part in anti-Israel demonstrations.

Yashica Olden, who stepped down as chief diversity and inclusion officer of the Manhattan-based magazine publishing giant in June, was the subject of an official human resources complaint that was submitted by Jewish employees of the company, according to the news site Semafor.

Olden was accused of failing to adequately address allegations made by Jewish staffers that the company was allowing pro-Palestinian sentiment among some of the writers to seep into coverage of the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks last year, it was reported.

Top Oregon official put on leave for allegedly prioritizing ‘qualified’ job candidates over ‘gender identity’


A diversity, equity and inclusion expert had her former boss placed on administrative leave for reportedly prioritizing merit over personal identity when hiring new employees, according to a report.

Megan Donecker, who formerly served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s DEI strategy officer, complained about the agency’s management, criticizing her boss Mike Shaw for looking “beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job,” OregonLive reported.

Shaw served as the agency’s second-in-command under State Forester Cal Mukumoto until he was placed on administrative leave on Aug. 6 after Donecker filed a formal complaint against him, the Daily Mail reported.

Donecker reportedly first took issue with Shaw when he advocated for a careful approach to DEI, comparing rapid changes to speeding on “an icy road.”


She claimed that Shaw, using this metaphor, warned, “We don’t go 60 (mph) out of the gate, or we’re gonna crash the car.”

She also reportedly claimed that six queer staffers didn’t “feel safe or comfortable” at work because they could not have “conversation around pronouns” and referred to the department as a “boys club,” the Daily Mail reported, citing the formal complaint obtained by OregonLive.

While the Oregon Department of Forestry did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry, they have responded to recent criticism of their agency, insisting that leadership “takes employee complaints and concerns seriously and, when brought to our attention, we ensure they’re handled in accordance with state laws, rules, policies and HR best practices. This includes protecting employees from retaliation.”

State Forester Mukumoto added that “Providing a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace is a shared core value and priority of both the department and the Board of Forestry.”

The pink-haired, tattooed Salem resident has left the department and now works as a DEI consultant, according to the Daily Mail. She reportedly describes herself as an “accomplice to marginalized communities,” the outlet reported.

OregonLive summarized that leadership in the department has significant implications for the state.

“The Department of Forestry is charged with protecting about 16 million acres of public and private forestland and serves as Oregon’s largest fire department,” The local journalist Noelle Crombie wrote. “It is overseen by Mukumoto, who answers to the Oregon Board of Forestry, a seven-member citizen board appointed by the governor. Mukumoto, appointed in 2021, manages an agency of nearly 1,400 employees and a biennial budget of about $577 million. His salary is $237,288.”

Oregon widely implemented DEI initiatives following the political unrest in response to George Floyd’s killing in 2020, prompting racial justice protests that swept the nation — and raged for more than 100 consecutive nights in nearby Portland. 

But residents have slowly begun pushing back. Clackamas County in Oregon announced in January that it will dismantle their nearly $830,000 a year diversity, equity and inclusion office, calling it an “unnecessary expense” that “only foments friction.”


Tren de Aragua thug ‘La Barbie’ is the face of Biden-Harris’ border policies

Tren de Aragua thug ‘La Barbie’ is the face of Biden-Harris’ border policies

Meet the face of the Biden-Harris immigration policies.

Estefania Primera is a tatted, pierced Tren de Aragua gang member dubbed “La Barbie” who allegedly ran a sex-trafficking ring out of the now-shuttered Gateway hotel in El Paso, Texas.

Authorities nabbed her Sept. 27, but she shouldn’t have been roaming free in the first place: She jumped the border illegally in August 2023, yet was released into the country with nothing but an ankle monitor, which she quickly ditched.

The stories of her depravity, documented in a leaked Border Patrol memo obtained by The Post, are stomach-churning. 

Tren regularly smuggles in desperate migrants and then forces them into prostitution to pay off their debts, essentially turning them into sex slaves.
