The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) and the Ohio Christian Education Network (OCEN) filed a lawsuit Tuesday evening with the Ohio Supreme Court against Columbus City Schools for the district’s refusal to transport children to school as state law requires. ACLJ & OCEN are representing a Columbus mother who is losing hourly wages at work because of the district’s lawless actions.

All eyes are on Ohio in this crucial election with a contested US Senate seat and the US Presidency on the line. Control of the Ohio Supreme Court is also on the ballot, which will have a huge impact on the trajectory Ohio takes over the next four years. But as Christians make up the majority of Ohioans, our united voice could change everything. The Deadline to Register to Vote is Monday, October 7.

Listen in to understand how transgender activists co-opted feminist ideology and why Joy has hope this aggressive movement could collapse.
