Schools Are Helping Kids Transition Behind Their Parents Backs #InTheDugout – July 28, 2025

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: having your child’s identity and well-being manipulated behind your back by a government institution. This is not fiction.

Mike is a former Major League Baseball player who now leads one of the most dynamic policy organizations in the country, the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity. His team recently filed a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Education on behalf of “Jane Doe,” the girl’s mother, and is fighting to repeal the regulation that enabled this secret transition.
