Giovanni Cicione Chair of the Law Centre Joins Sten! #InTheDugout– April 8, 2025

Today on #InTheDugout with Mike Stenhouse: Giovanni Cicione, Chair of the Law Centre sub-committee at the RI Center for Freedom & Prosperity, joins the show to discuss a landmark lawsuit that’s sending shockwaves through Rhode Island’s education system.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of “Jane Doe,” targets the RI Department of Education and its 2018 gender identity regulation—after Doe’s daughter secretly transitioned at school without her knowledge, culminating in a tragic suicide attempt. Sten and Gio unpack the legal and emotional weight of the case, the motion for preliminary injunction, and the broader implications for parental rights, Title IX enforcement, and transparency in public schools.

Plus, Sten gets Cicione’s insider perspective on the RI Interscholastic League’s policy reversal on girls’ sports and ongoing efforts to hold RIDE accountable and put local school committees on notice.A must-watch for those following the fight to restore parental authority and biological truth in K-12 education.
