BREAKING Antifa activists broke into an ICE car and stole their materials, and are doxing them, their hotel locations, and their process and detention locations live on the internet. This just happened in Minneapolis: https://t.co/3eieppcKIx
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers describe a scene where ICE agent vehicles on the street were surrounded by protesters, forcing them to leave their cars. One ICE vehicle was broken into, and the first speaker presents a stash of documents found inside, including lists labeled FBI Operation info with full names, phone numbers, emails, maps showing where immigrants are held, and hotel names. There are also judge names and “operational posture” papers detailing how protesters should be handled, as well as information on transports of immigration targets and guidance on how to enter buildings and conduct bookings. A piece of hotel booking information belonging to the raid’s vehicle owner is shown, indicating people were loading from Wisconsin and moving toward Minneapolis; one hotel detail was torn up.
The second speaker adds: information about the detention center, specifically Sherborn County Detention Center address information. The first speaker reiterates that these are “operation paperwork” that include data on FD936 and a request for National DNA database entry, showing how they’re entering detainees into the database. This paperwork was taken from an ICE vehicle left behind after the initial shooting.
They discuss a USMS booking information form, which contains data they should be gathering and booking details, including arrest data, date, housing, property, and NCIC/NCIS references.
The first speaker identifies a hotel booking sheet for an ICE officer named John Steimle (presented as “John s t e I m l e”), noting a Wisconsin hotel—the Baymont by Wyndham in Baldwin—where ICE agents were staying prior to transport into Minneapolis, including the hotel address and room number.
Evidence of FBI involvement is highlighted through the discovery of FBI badges and other items taken from the ICE vehicle. The speakers mention challenge coins used by police officers, describing them as items officers share among themselves, often featuring jokes and a skull motif. They point to a variety of coins labeled with agencies (FBI, HSI, ATF, IRS) and imagery of vultures on a rock with a skull on the front or back, indicating the presence of these ceremonial tokens among the officers involved.
Throughout, the overall emphasis is on the documents and physical items found in the ICE vehicle that was left behind, including names, contact details, hotel arrangements, detention and booking forms, and symbolic police memorabilia.

Speaker 0: Is it live? In the original shooting that happened here tonight, the ICE agent vehicles that were parked on the street in the shooting. They had to leave their cars behind because they got surrounded by protesters. One of the ICE agent vehicles got broken into and I found this paperwork. It has a list with FBI.
Operation info. It's got full. Names of FBI agents, phone numbers, emails. There's maps on where they're staying, where they're holding immigrants. There's hotel names in there.
There's judge names. This paperwork has people's full names. And their emails. Operation posture. Operational posture.
This is how they're supposed to stand and how they're supposed to handle. Protesters. This is the transports of immigration. Targets. This is a map.
Showing you where they're taking immigration targets. And instructions on how to get into the building on what they're supposed to do on booking. I have a piece of paper for the guy whose vehicle it was. It's got his hotel booking information. They're all they're taking guys from Wisconsin and bringing them in.
To help fight us. There's people staying at Wisconsin. It's their loading zone. They're meeting up there and then they're moving in to Minneapolis. That one got ripped up, unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Information about the detention center. Sherborn, County, I think, Detention Center address info.
Speaker 0: These are just operation paperwork. This literally tells them information for FD936. Request for National DNA database entry. This is how they're entering all of them into the database. Again, this was paperwork taken out of an ice vehicle that was left behind from the first shooting tonight.
Speaker 1: So is the, USMS booking information form, all the, data that, they should, be gathering, and form arrest information date housing property. NCIS. NCIC. Offense code. That's the form.
What's what's the other document?
Speaker 0: Is a hotel booking sheet. The officer whose car we rated was John s t e I m l e. This is a hotel in Wisconsin that they're loading ICE agents up into before they send them into Minneapolis. It's got his name. The hotel, the address room number.
The Baymont by Wyndham Baldwin. Baymont is supporting ICE agents. This is all taken out of an ICE officer's vehicle that got left behind and got raided. And if you want even more proof, there were FBI badges. We have FBI badges.
Speaker 1: There's no coins. Coins. That they share amongst themselves. Usually Oh my god. Why does that have a skeleton on?
Coins. Challenge coins. That's the correct word. Yeah.
Speaker 0: FBI ICE number two. Whatever else that says on it right there. These are challenge coins, whatever these all are. Look at all this stuff that was in there.
Speaker 1: These challenge coins are items that police officers
Speaker 0: agent's vehicle.
Speaker 1: That law enforcement officers like to share amongst each other. They make special ones for different events, usually with very, really horrible jokes in inside police officer law enforcement jokes.

Last night, I attended an activist teacher call revealing efforts by union leaders and educators to defy Trump’s executive orders. Key figures like Daniel McNeil and Stacy Hickox advocate for sanctuary schools and resistance to federal policies. Legal strategies are being employed to embed gender ideology in curricula, while Jesse Hagopian equates restrictions on anti-racist content to McCarthyism. Leslie Blatteau is mobilizing teachers for protests against Trump’s policies. These actions raise questions about legality and the prioritization of ideology over federal law.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers claim Trump is using education to open the door to fascism, reminiscent of Nazi Germany. They are preparing for potential ICE actions with the "Red Folder Project" to protect students. Chicago Public Schools demonstrated resistance by denying ICE access to students, advising against collecting data on students' origins.
Public schools are described as holding both the scars of oppression and the seeds of liberation, historically reproducing inequality. Speakers assert the goal is to force trans youth back into the closet by redefining sex and making it impossible for them to participate equally in school and society. Nearly half of US public school students are allegedly in schools where teachers are mandated to lie about race, gender, sexuality, and US history.
Drawing parallels to the McCarthy era and the lavender scare, they highlight the firing of educators accused of communism or homosexuality. They emphasize the importance of teachers getting into the streets and building a mass multiracial movement to resist. Strategies beyond legal challenges are needed, focusing on rebuilding a social movement. They promote the June 7th National Teach Truth Day of Action with resources available on the ZYN Education Project website.

Speaker 0: Because Trump knows the fas the fastest route to authoritarian rule and fascism really runs through the classroom, and that's why he doesn't just lie. He is lynching the truth. That's why he's assaulting educators. That's why he is using education as really this issue to pry open the door to fascism.
Speaker 1: This is pretty scary stuff. And the things that we have been seeing being rolled out is reminiscent of what we have seen in Nazi Germany. And it's something for us to pause and to be serious about. We're talking we want to make sure that people are prepared. So we have something that's called the Red Folder Project, and it's all about preparing people's documents so that we can flood the court if and when they're picked up so that we can mobilize and have enough time to find attorneys and other types of legal resources.
So although that's really depressing, at the same time, we see people coming together to mobilize.
Speaker 0: In this way, this is different than the first Trump administration because there are more competent people, competent in the most evil way. So
Speaker 2: Chicago Public Schools in the early weeks of this administration made a great example where I showed up to abduct a student. The principal, I think it was, stood outside the building and said, you don't have any permission to be here. Our policy does not allow it. And ICE backed up. ICE has even said schools with these policies scare us.
Right? We we don't go into those schools. We try to find schools that don't have the protective policies. And so but would not be collecting even where the child was born or their hometown and making that part of their student record. Because even though there are FERPA protections, right, privacy protections for those student records, it's safer to just not have those schools collect that information at all.
And so that's another thing that we advise.
Speaker 0: You ask why are public schools worth fighting for? And I say, because I think that they hold the scars of oppression, but also the seeds of liberation. I think that public schools in this country have long been used to reproduce inequality from segregated classrooms to Eurocentric curricula and the school to prison pipeline.
Speaker 3: And the goal is to force, you know, to be clear, the goal is to force trans youth back into the closet by making it impossible to participate equally at school and in society. And then redefining sex itself to essentially erase trans people by suggesting that sex is immutable and binary. But as we've already been saying, you know, an executive order just does not change the law.
Speaker 0: The fear that you have is justified, right? Because it is a dire situation. We have a situation in this country where nearly half of all public school students in The US attend a school where their teacher is mandated to lie to them about race, about gender, about sexuality, about the basics of US history that include genocide of native Americans and theft of their land, enslavement of black people. And this is extreme. It's authoritarian, but it's not unprecedented.
We are in a moment, I believe that's really as American as, I don't know, the three fifths clause, as American as mass incarceration as American as redlining as American as stolen land as American as banning books and buying bullets. We can look at the McCarthy era, the red scare and the lavender scare. That is the playbook they are drawing from right now. Right? They fired thousands of educators across this country, including over 400 educators in New York City alone for being accused of being a communist, right?
And so that any teacher who taught about inequality or certainly if you taught about race, then you were clearly a communist and they blacklisted you. And that was overlapped with the lavender scare where all they had to do was label you quote homosexual and they would fire you. This was rampant in Florida where they fired hundreds of teachers. And that's, we're seeing the echo in Florida's don't say gay, don't say trans laws.
Speaker 4: Sure, that policies coming out of city hall, the police department and our schools were clear that we were not gonna collaborate with ICE, that we were gonna ensure to protect our students in our city. And make sure that our teachers go back to their schools to then further turnkey those workshops and really saturate the schools with this critical information. Because we heard what the borders are said. We heard him say that those know your rights workshops are working. That that the know your rights workshops are slowing down the machinery the machinery of the fascists.
So let's listen to what he's saying and make sure that we continue to empower people to know their rights. But what I will say is that now is really the time for teachers to get in the streets. There are a lot of opportunities for us to do this. We know there's things happening April 5. We know there's things happening May 1.
We have to build power and that comes through us, particularly the white teachers with a lot of privilege getting into the streets in ways that maybe we haven't been before so that we can show that we are willing to do something more to stop what is going on. Like folks have said, this is unprecedented and we have to be willing to make bigger steps to do something about this. And I really wanna see more of us out there in the streets to slow this monster down.
Speaker 0: Right. And I think that this title of our panel, we protect us, is not just a slogan. It's gotta be a strategy because I think that when Trump doesn't care about the law, he does he knows that the things he's doing are illegal, and he doesn't care. Right? We have to build strategies that are not just based in in legal strategies because we can win over and over again in courts and he can just dismiss that and move forward.
And so we have to use the law and we have to work with legal experts and movement lawyers and fight the legal system. But that has to be one arm of a much bigger strategy that is about rebuilding the type of social movement that ended McCarthyism. Right? And that requires building a mass multiracial movement. And we're beginning to see some really important examples of how to fight back.
June 7, National Teach Truth Day of Action. You can go to the ZYN Education Project website, and we've made it really easy for you to order materials to set up ban book tables or materials for teach ins, walking tours, many innovative creative ways that we can resist the Trump agenda.
Speaker 5: Today, we're also going to be using inclusive language in Spanish as a commitment to gender justice. Thank you. Now we can be assigned.

Daniel McNeil, top lawyer for the American Federation of Teachers, is leading the charge to break Trump’s executive orders. He’s telling teachers to ignore federal policies they disagree with and keep pushing leftist ideologies in classrooms.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The AFT is litigating against executive orders that threaten federal funding, weaponize civil rights, and attack teaching accurate history. These orders are viewed as a "torrent" and are often illegal, representing the president's personal views rather than established law.
Challenges to these orders are based on violations of the separation of powers, the Administrative Procedures Act, and fundamental constitutional rights like the First Amendment. The orders are often vague, overbroad, and target protected speech and associational rights. One example is an anti-union executive order that retaliates against federal sector unions for filing grievances.
Despite the confusing nature of these orders, teachers should be reassured that curriculum control primarily lies with the states, many of which require teaching honest history. The federal government's role in education is limited, and these orders attempt to weaponize and expand that role beyond legal boundaries. Existing state and federal laws provide protections against these overreaches.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So to start, I want to invite Dan to get us going. So Dan, thanks for being with us. We know that you and your colleagues at the AFT have been at the forefront of litigating against and resisting many of these executive orders. And they came as a torrent. They're hard to keep up with sometimes.
They included this dear colleague letter from late February from the Department of Ed that threatens to withhold federal funding, weaponize civil rights, attacks on teaching accurate history, the history of slavery, diversity and inclusion, lots of effort. So I'm gonna ask you to do something very hard here, Dan, which in a couple of minutes, walk us through what these have looked like, but probably more importantly, what are the grounds on which you and the AFT and other of your partners have said, this is not, these are dubious and they can't move forward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for that. And I do wanna acknowledge, like, these executive orders and these dear colleague letters and proclamations from the government, I mean, it is a torrent. Every day is something new. And in this way, is different than the first Trump administration because there are more competent people, competent in the most evil way. And so, you know, the legal pushback I also wanna say is necessary, but it's not what's going to get us through this.
These are merely a stop gap measure. It's sand in the gears. It's an attempt to slow things down and to challenge things that are blatantly illegal. And I wanna say a lot of these executive orders that are coming out, they are illegal. They are Trump's view of the world or whoever's writing these for him.
I think he'll sign whatever is put in front of him, actually. And so, you know, like the executive orders banning DEI in the federal government, right? So he calls these illegal DEI programs without ever defining what is DEI or what is illegal about it. And so, you know, then you get the Dear Colleague letter that comes out from, the Acting Secretary of Education and takes the Supreme Court decision in the Students for Fair Admission versus Harvard and expands that decision far beyond what is actually stated in that decision, and takes a decision about higher education and admissions and tries to apply it to banning, DEI programs in K-twelve, everything from affinity groups to courses on multiculturalism. And so these EOs and Dear Colleague Letters, they're largely illegal.
And so the basis for challenging those decisions is one, a lot of these are not the law. Are merely performative. And when the president says it, he can't change existing law. Right? So there's the congress gets to make the laws, about the different agencies.
So when he says, I'm doing this, then, you know, Congress has the authority to define what is the scope of an agency. So it violates the separation of powers act, the separation of powers as defined in our constitution. It also violates the Administrative Procedures Act, which is a procedural requirement, for these executive agencies that they have to follow what Congress tells them to do. And there are certain steps, certain due process requirements for taking certain actions by these agencies. And then they cannot act arbitrarily and capriciously.
Many challenges to these executive orders will be under the Administrative Procedures Act. And then there's just basic violations of the fundamental rights that are listed in the constitution, the first amendment. So the Dear Colleague letter, it bans a lot of stuff that is protected speech and associational rights. You are allowed to associate with people. The executive orders targeting these law firms, right?
Because they represented a person, people have a right to petition the government. And so to retaliate against them, that violates the constitution, first amendment rights. The problem with the Dear Colleague letter in many ways is how vague and overbroad it is. So it outlaws things that are clearly permitted. So that's overbroad.
It's vague because they don't even define what programs are illegal. So there are numerous problems and these aren't limited to the ones that target education. It's a lot of them. The anti union executive order that came out Thursday targeting federal sector unions and depriving them of collective bargaining, there was a fact sheet that the president issued that says we are doing this because they are filing grievances against my administration. They are opposing my administration and therefore they don't deserve to have collective bargaining.
That violates the constitution, first amendment rights. And so, you know, there are many other grounds in which they can be challenged, but those are the major ones.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I mean, Dan, I just that's so and I'm going bring on Sierra in a moment to, you know, ask the follow-up questions, but I just didn't want to say what you're saying as I understand it, right? They're breaking the law. They're breaking the law. And when someone else is breaking the law and doing something illegal, we cannot concede to them the very rights that they're trying to to to take away from us.
I just wonder, and just in the last follow-up because this must be so confusing for a teacher, a building leader, a principal that's like, but look, I read this in the paper. We can't talk about this anymore. It says it. Maybe we shouldn't do that. What's the message you're sharing to your members, to other educators when there's something that we can't say that anymore?
We can't. How do we think about that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean, one of the things that teachers should be reassured about is that it is the states that control the curriculum. And many of our states have told us that we are required to teach honest history. We are required to teach about slavery and reconstruction. We are required to teach about the civil rights movement. We're required to teach about the genocide that happened in World War II and the genocide that's happening in Gaza.
So we're required to teach honest history. And so the federal government has a limited role in education. They are trying to weaponize that role and expand it far beyond what the current law says and what is reserved to the states.
Speaker 0: So I'm just hearing Dan. I appreciate that. And then Sarah and I turn it over as a reminder. There is lots and lots of law precedent at the state level, at the federal level, and protections against this. And the more we have our heads around that, the more we understand it, we can and the way to defend it is to practice it, to exercise it every day, to not apologize for it.

Stacy Hickox, legal counsel for the National Education Association, is advocating for schools to become sanctuary zones, actively obstructing ICE and refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The NEA has been fighting attacks on immigrant rights, including the removal of safe zones, which previously limited ICE access to schools and churches. Now, ICE agents are reportedly abducting students and faculty, even grade school children, causing fear and disrupting education. There are also threats to defund schools through Title VI enforcement, starting with higher education.
To combat this, schools should develop safe zone policies. Under Plyler versus Doe, all students have a constitutional right to attend public school, and schools should not collect immigration status information. Schools should designate a person to verify the authority of ICE agents before allowing them on the property, distinguishing between judicial and administrative warrants. Universities and colleges should also designate public and private areas on campus. Red cards, available in multiple languages, can be used to assert the right to remain silent and demand a judicial warrant when confronted by immigration enforcement.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Stacy, I'm gonna turn to you next. In addition to the work defending equity and the right to teach on its history, the NEA has also led critical work against the tax on immigrant rights for students, families, teachers, schools. So can you tell us a little bit about what these attacks have looked like, including the recession of schools as protected areas or safe zones for immigration enforcement? And then also what do protections for students and schools have? What protections exist so that the educators, the teachers, the administrators know what those protections are so that we can continue to fight back against the repression?
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. So we've been in this fight for a long time. So we've re upped everything that we had in place for the first Trump administration and doubled down on that. And so as you mentioned, the safe zones have been removed. That was done the first day of this administration.
And so that is one of our biggest concerns is that that was the protection where ICE was very limited in being able to go into areas like churches and schools and universities. And that goes back to the nineteen nineties where they were really prohibited from going on to those properties to abduct any student or anyone else who's on those properties. That was removed. And so now what we see are ICE agents going on to university campuses. I'm sure you've seen this in the newspapers, abducting people, abducting students, abducting faculty and staff.
Now they're starting to seize even grade school children from their homes, from schools. And so I'll talk about ways to put to stop that, but you've seen it in the news. And so we're at the point now where we're hearing from our members that their students are afraid to come to school. They're afraid to come because they might get abducted there. They're afraid that they might come home and their parents will have been abducted.
And so it's a very, very scary time. And it upsets the whole educational process when students are afraid to come to school. So that's one issue. But the other issue you probably also heard about are these threats to take away funding from schools through Title VI enforcement. They're starting with higher ed.
Right? We saw it start with Columbia. Now they're going down the line to other schools with respect to taking away funding for issues that relate to international students and immigrants. But you can expect that that's gonna come down to the k 12 level as well. Right?
They're they're gonna be next on the hit list. So what can we do about it? I wanna focus on what can be done to stop this. And I think Chicago Public Schools in the early weeks of this administration made a great example where I showed up to abduct a student. The principal, I think it was, stood outside the building and said, you don't have any permission to be here.
Our policy does not allow it. And ICE backed up. ICE has even said schools with these policies scare us. Right? We we don't go into those schools.
We try to find schools that don't have the protective policies. And so what we're encouraging our members to do, to work with their schools, to develop safe zone policies. And so what that means is you work with your school to do a few different things. Number one, emphasize that as someone already mentioned, under the constitution, any student has the right to go to to k 12 school, to public school, right, under Plyer versus Doe. And they're gonna post that summary of that decision in the chat so that you know that's the name you need to remember is Plier versus Doe.
It's a constitutional right for any student to attend public school, not private school, but public school. And so that means that states cannot, like they're trying to do right now, pass legislation that puts restrictions on immigrant students from going to public school. It means that they can't force them to reveal their immigration status when they enroll in that school. Right? And so schools should not be collecting that information.
They should not be collecting even where the child was born or their hometown and making that part of their student record. Because even though there are FERPA protections, right, privacy protections for those student records, it's safer to just not have those schools collect that information at all. And so that's another thing that we advise. The other part of safe zone resolutions is to make sure that there are procedures in place for when ICE shows up, just like Chicago, to have someone who is a designated person that's going to determine whether or not ICE has the authority to enter that property. Because they cannot enter the property without the school's permission unless they have a judicial warrant.
And there's a big difference between a judicial warrant issued by a court and something that an ICE agent might have just thrown together on a piece of paper, call it administrative warrant. Right? And the school does not have to allow them onto the property just based on an administrative warrant. But the school needs to have someone who's designated to know what's the difference between those two things. Right?
And so that's an important piece to have in place as well. And then also, especially for universities and colleges, it's important to designate what are the public and private areas of that campus. Right? So that dormitories, for example, are private spaces. ICE agents can't just wander in and start knocking on doors in the dormitory.
That's a private space. Whereas maybe they can go on the the green of the campus. Right? But at least students know that that's a public area versus what's a private area where they are safer. And the same thing is true for k 12 campuses that are open campuses.
Right? There may be areas where the general public can can walk around, but those need to be designated. Yeah. And somebody just put in the chat red cards that the other thing that we make sure that people have available. These are cards that people can present.
If they are confronted by an immigration enforcement agent, they can present them with this red card and say, I don't need to talk to you. I have the right to refuse to talk to you unless you show me a judicial warrant. And those are available in tons of different languages. And so we encourage everyone to make those available to people so that they can use those to their advantage. And so I think I'll leave it at that, and I'll have some more recommendations later about what schools and teachers can do in general.

Kate Redburn, legal strategist from Columbia, is pushing for bureaucratic delays to entrench gender ideology before Trump can intervene. They/them is using legal loopholes to ensure trans rights stay enshrined in school policies.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The federal government is focusing on trans youth, with the goal to force them back into the closet by hindering their equal participation in school and society. Access to bathrooms is presented as a key issue, representing access to the building itself. Executive orders have been issued to condition federal funding on ending gender-affirming care for those 19 and under, investigate trans girls in sports, prevent funding for trans-inclusive schools, and redefine sex to exclude trans people.
Executive orders don't change the law but set the agenda. While most agencies haven't implemented these orders, some actions have been taken, like against a Denver high school with gender-neutral bathrooms. Federal laws protecting against sex discrimination include protections for trans people, based on Supreme Court interpretation. Agencies must receive and consider public comments when changing policy.
State-level bills address students' names and pronouns, but there's also work to protect trans students. New York amended its constitution to prevent anti-trans discrimination. It's still legal for kids to use bathrooms consistent with their gender identity in 31 states, and 23 states don't prevent trans kids from playing sports. Laws banning trans kids from sports have been blocked in five states, and 14 states have shield laws protecting gender-affirming care. Students retain speech rights, and curricular decisions are made locally. Legal resources are available to defend trans kids at school.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And now it's become a focus of the federal government. So that, you know, that's that's certainly magnifies the the threat. And the goal is to force you know, to be clear, the goal is to force trans youth back into the closet by making it impossible to participate equally at school society. So, you know, on one level, might think that, you know, why are we talking all constantly about bathrooms? But if you think about the you know, because the bathroom is a not, let's say, the most important time of your day.
However, access to bathrooms is access to the building. Right? If you're not able to so so the this particular areas of focus might seem might seem trivial, but actually are the sort of stakes of of equal participation. And Trump Trump has issued, you know, as we've been talking about, just a flurry of executive orders that relate to trans youth and trans students. So, you know, he's directed federal agencies to condition federal funding on ending access to gender affirming health care for people 19.
He's directed them to investigate trans girls playing k through 12 sports. He's tried to prevent funding of k through 12 schools that have trans inclusive policies and curricula, and then redefining sex itself to essentially erase trans people by suggesting that sex is immutable and binary. But as we've already been saying, you know, an executive order just does not change the law. It it sets the agenda for the agencies that enforce federal law. So it's certainly a warning, but it's not a change in the law.
And so most agencies haven't actually moved to implement these orders yet. That doesn't mean that they won't, but, you know, we know that the Department of Education has brought enforcement actions against a Denver high school that has gender neutral bathrooms. And after the governor of Maine stood up to Trump basically at a luncheon, the state has been under enormous pressure to change its trans student policy. And that's so those are very scary, but there's still a lot of time and territory to push back. So for example, all of the federal laws that protect against sex discrimination include protections for trans people.
And that was that's the result of an authoritative interpretation from the supreme court. So as as Dan was saying, you know, to the extent that any of these executive orders or even some of the federal policy purports to redefine sex to not include trans people, that's illegal. Also, as we've seen in, you know, the flip flop back and forth between Obama, Trump, and Biden, now Trump again, we can expect there to be a reinterpretation of title nine, but that hasn't happened yet. So when agencies change policy, they're obligated, as Dan was saying, under the under the APA to receive public comments and to take those comments into account. Those comments become the record if the if the agency action, you know, is litigated.
So a great way to to participate is to submit a comment, and there are campaigns to submit comments. So right now, there's rulemaking around health care definitions and passports. There will certainly be opportunities for people to organize themselves to to to make comments about other other policies as they come down the pike. And then at the state level, you know, of course, over the past four years and accelerating now, there are all kinds of bills, including those to enable or prevent students from using a different name or pronouns at school. But at the same time, there's just been enormous work to protect trans students and those remain in place.
So in New York where I'm coming from, we recently amended the constitution to prevent anti trans discrimination and that applies to schools and hospitals, similar provisions from state constitutions and and in state discrimination law around the country. It's still legal for kids to use the bathrooms consistent with their gender identity in 31 states. Okay. 23 states don't prevent trans kids from playing sports, and there are laws seeking to ban the trans kids from playing sports have been blocked by courts in five states. And 14 states have passed shield laws to protect access to gender affirming care.
So students, as we've also heard, still have speech rights at school that includes rights to per you know, individual expression. And and, again, curricular decisions, including decisions about teaching, about, you know, gender diversity are still made at the local level. So there are just lots and lots just to reiterate what other people have said, there are lots of legal resources to use in defending trans kids at school, even though even though there's a unprecedented level of attack right now.

Jesse Hagopian, radical educator and CRT author, is equating the restriction of anti-racist curriculum to McCarthyism, rallying teachers to disobey laws and frame every restriction as an attack on free speech and education.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker claims current tactics resemble the McCarthy era, including the red and lavender scares. During that time, thousands of educators were fired for being accused of being communists or homosexual. Teaching about inequality or race was considered communist activity, leading to blacklisting. Florida had rampant firings of teachers labeled homosexual, which the speaker sees echoed in Florida's "don't say gay, don't say trans" laws. The speaker calls for a new liberation movement, similar to the civil rights movement that sidelined McCarthyism, to challenge those in power.

Speaker 0: You know, we can look at the McCarthy era, the red scare, and the lavender scare. That is the playbook they are drawing from right now. Right? They fired thousands of educators across this country including over 400 educators in New York City alone for being accused of being a communist. Right?
And so that any teacher who taught about inequality or certainly if you taught about race, then you were clearly a communist and they blacklisted you. And that was overlapped with the lavender scare where all they had to do was label you quote homosexual and they would fire you. This was rampant in Florida where they fired hundreds of teachers. And we're seeing the echo in Florida's don't say gay, don't say trans laws. And so it's time for us to build a new liberation movement.
The type that broke through McCarthyism and ended that era. The civil rights movement was the reason why McCarthyism was sidelined. And now it's our turn to build a brand new uprising that can challenge those in power. Yes. Yes.
Thank you for energizing us with that. And

Now is the time for teachers to get in the streets. Opportunities to do so are coming up on April 5 and May 1. Building power requires teachers, particularly white teachers with privilege, to get into the streets in ways they haven't before. This will show a willingness to do more to stop what is going on. Because this situation is unprecedented, bigger steps are needed. More teachers need to be out in the streets to slow this monster down.

We know there's things happening May 1. We have to build power and that comes through us, particularly the white teachers with a lot of lot of privilege getting into the streets in ways that maybe we haven't been before so that we can show that we are willing to do something more to stop what is going on.

And it's something for us to pause and to be serious about. We're talking we want to make sure that people are prepared. So we have something that's called the Red Folder Project, and it's all about preparing people's documents so that we can flood the court if and when they're picked up so that we can mobilize and have enough time to find attorneys and other types of legal resources.
So although that's really depressing, at the same time, we see people coming together to mobilize.

In his closing remarks, Jesse Hagopian, radical educator and CRT author, claimed Trump is "lynching education" by restricting anti-racist curricula. He’s framing any opposition to his agenda as an assault on truth and freedom in the classroom.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Trump understands that control of education is the fastest path to authoritarianism and fascism, therefore he is assaulting educators and using education to open the door to fascism. "We protect us" must be a strategy, not just a slogan. Legal strategies alone are insufficient because Trump disregards the law.
A broader strategy is needed, similar to the social movement that ended McCarthyism, requiring a mass multiracial movement. The Teach Truth National Day of Action on June 7 is an opportunity for educators, unions, parents, students, and others to show solidarity and resist authoritarianism. Resources for setting up ban book tables, teach-ins, and walking tours are available on the ZYN Education Project website.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Because Trump knows the fas the fastest route to authoritarian rule and fascism really runs through the classroom, and that's why he doesn't just lie. He is lynching the truth. That's why he's assaulting educators. That's why he is using education as really this this issue to pry open the door to fascism. Right?
And I think that this title of our panel, we protect us is not just a slogan. It's gotta be a strategy because I think that when Trump doesn't care about the law, he does he knows that the things he's doing are illegal, and he doesn't care. Right? We have to build strategies that are not just based in in legal strategies because we can win over and over again in courts and he can just dismiss that and move forward. So we have to use the law and we have to work with legal experts and movement lawyers and fight the legal system.
But that has to be one arm of a much bigger strategy that is about rebuilding the type of social movement that ended McCarthyism. Right? And that requires building a mass multiracial movement. And we're beginning to see some really important examples of how to fight back. And I would just say that the Teach Truth National Day of Action on June 7 is a huge opportunity for every educator, every union, not just parents, students, and teachers, but everyone who knows that truth is on the line here, that authoritarianism is is rapidly on the way.
This is our opportunity to build a national show of solidarity and push back. June 7, National Teach Truth Day of Action. You can go to the ZYN Education Project website, and we've made it really easy for you to order materials to set up ban book tables or materials for teach ins, walking tours, many innovative creative ways that we can resist the Trump agenda.

We need to intervene if we witness discrimination or harassment, even if it's just intimidation. For example, if a student writes on the board that there are only 2 genders, that's intimidation and harassment. Our staff needs training on how to handle these situations because most of them haven't been trained. Even those attending this gender identity training today, about 75% of them are new to this topic.

Speaker 0: And then we're required to intervene if we witness discrimination harassment. Right? I know at school sometimes when we say the word bullying, we kinda just our brain just shuts off, like, don't talk to me anymore about bullying. But if we're talking about on that one, what the law says in intimidation, that's kind of like the lowest bar right there, the lowest hanging fruit. Intimidation, what does that look off, like, you know, if a student walks into a classroom and says, there's only 2 genders and writes it on the board.
As I've been getting calls about off. When we start school again, right, kids come back from the summer and they've got a lot to say. That's intimidation. Off. That's harassment.
We have a duty to intervene. But how do we do it? How does our staff know how to do it? Right? We have to give them those tools.
They most of our staff have not been trained. Off. Even you all here today who found out about this because you're in this work, you're looking for it, like, oh, like 75% of you, this is your first gender identity training, right, on the on the thing?

Video Transcript AI Summary
Language is important for being respectful and inclusive. We should move away from using terms like "boys and girls" and instead use more neutral terms like "friends" or "scholars." We can also use different techniques for organizing students, such as alphabetically or by color. It's important to provide equal access to toys and materials for all students, regardless of their gender. Using correct pronouns and being kind and respectful is crucial. Some schools have made changes, like replacing "king and queen" with "royal court," to promote equity and inclusivity. These small changes can help create a cultural shift towards everyday practices that are more respectful and inclusive.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So again, language is very important. I know I'm really, what did they say? A a work geek because I love to analyze language and see how it evolves because we get better, right, when we learn how to be more respectful and more inclusive in our language. So we're all, familiar with me. Boys and girls, especially when we think about elementary schools, right, separating by boys and girls.
These books are for girls. These books are for boys. Me. Only talking about moms and dads, assuming identity and structure. And then when you look at, you know, our upper grades where you have your, homecoming ceremonies.
You have your keys and queens. Right? That's all language that we're approach that we're comfortable because it's been something that's been around. But at the same time, we've been evolving. Right?
We've been getting better and better about having more inclusive language. And so me. On that journey, I wanna encourage you to also think about other terms. For example, friends, scholars, readers, why do we have to say boys and girls? I know with PBIS, how can we go into scholars?
Or we use the school mascot. Right? This is so much better than just than putting that stress on children as to, you know, getting a lot of boys and girls. There are other techniques. You can line up alphabetically by birthdays, family, color, so many things, me.
In encouraging that all the toys in the, you know, in preschool or all the books, all the, you know, Support materials are for all students. Right? Not saying, well, the girls can go there and work on arts and crafts, and the boys can go here and work with double trucks. You know, we don't want we want to Take that away and help them feel that it's okay to be interested in whatever is, you know, their passion, so to speak. Me.
Always looking for those correct pronouns, be respectful and kind. And I know a local high school, that they just remind kids attend. They actually changed it from king and queen to royal court. So everyone was a member of the royal court. And then I also created more equity because there were, like, 4 4 or 5 people who are all court members instead of just one being, you know, the top top king and the top king.
So just these are simple things that we can include to be more respectful, to be more inclusive, and start to create that cultural shift. So this doesn't become just the best practice, but our everyday practice.

Todd Kolstad and his wife Krista share their heartbreaking story of their 14-year-old daughter's struggle with mental health and the challenges they faced with the healthcare system. Their daughter had experienced bullying at school and had made a suicide threat, leading to involvement from child protective services. The parents express their concerns about the hospital's treatment of their daughter, including the use of her preferred name and pronouns against their wishes. They also highlight the lack of communication and the removal of their parental rights. The family is currently fighting to regain custody of their daughter. They hope that sharing their story will raise awareness about the issues they faced and prevent other families from going through similar experiences.

Speaker 0: My name is Todd Kolstad. I'm a father, husband, and business owner. I was born in Glasgow, Montana and have lived in Montana much of my life. I have 5 children from a previous marriage. One was over 18, one chose to live with his birth mother in Canada, and I had custody of the other 3.
I'm also a United States Air Force veteran having served during the gulf war with the 12th tactical fighter squadron based in Okinawa, Japan. Our hope by releasing this statement is to help other families avoid the heartache and pain that our family has endured over the last 5 months. Our 14 year old daughter has struggled for quite some time in school from bullying. We have had many meetings over the years with the school systems trying to address these issues. We even moved from Flathead County in West Montana to a much smaller town in Valley County in East Montana hoping that this would give our daughter a fresh start in a new school system and new environment.
On August 18, 2023, we received a call at 1:48 from our local city police. We were informed that our 14 year old daughter was texting a friend that she had met at a school track meet saying she wanted to kill herself. It should be noted our daughter had only met this child once face to face several months prior and had only phone conversations with her ever since. We took this threat seriously and spoke to our daughter however we knew she was struggling with anxiety since school is about to start on Monday. She was also very angry with us because we told her she needed to put her 2 week notice in at her summer job so she could focus on starting the 9th grade.
At 7:40 PM, a lady by the name of Cindy from child protective services showed up at our home saying that the police officer that called earlier said he could not lay eyes on the child or make contact with her directly even though this officer never asked to come to our home or speak to our daughter. We allowed Cindy into our home showing her around. My wife was making dinner as we had a late lunch. It's noted in the cps report that our home was clean, well stocked with food, and with no immediate dangers. Cindy stated she wanted to speak to our daughter alone.
We allowed this given we knew our daughter was safe, but we also know our daughter has had issues with telling lies for quite some time and as such, we made Cindy aware of that concern. We allowed them to speak on the porch, also calling a family friend to come to our house as a third party witness. After about 10 minutes, my wife and I went outside to be told our daughter had drank toilet bowl cleaner at about 3 pm and had also taken an Buprofen overdose in an attempt to take her life. We could not believe this as my wife had been working in the kitchen in her makeshift office all day where Pills and cleaning agents were kept. Neither of us neither of us saw our daughter go in there but out of concern for her safety We agreed she needed to go to the hospital.
She also did not have any signs of ingesting any harsh chemicals such as a burnt mouth, burnt esophagus, or an upset stomach. We later found out she did not have any Ibuprofen or any other chemicals in her system from a blood test taken at the hospital that night. Once at the hospital, our daughter began demanding that she be called Leo, he, and him. We explained that this is in her history but not something we would agree to as her parents. The hospital staff ignored our request as did child protective services.
Our daughter was admitted to the hospital for observations. My wife was mostly at the hospital over the next 5 days and here are some of the events that transpired.
Speaker 1: My name is Krista Kolstad and I have been in my daughter's life can choose about 7 years old when I married Todd in 2017. She's Todd's youngest child and has always struggled with That's as a family. Over the years I've built a loving supporting relationship with our daughter. She's always your first lady's mom even though she's not my biological child I've always loved her, supported her, and made sacrifices for her. The following is a list of events that happened at the hospital causing us to voice her concern to hospital management and staff as well as Cindy from CPS.
The hospital continued to call our daughter, Leo, even though she's a minor. And after I stated it's against our wishes, our religion, and our core family values. The hospital told me to call their lawyer if I have an issue as they will do what the patient tells them. I said to them according to state bill 99, they may not, under the law, provide transgender care, nor transition our child. The response was they are not providing surgery or hormones, so they're operating in a gray area of the law.
I further explained that my understanding of the law was a minor is a minor, and there's no difference between a 4 year old or a 14 year old. And we prefer to be called by her birth name. The hospital put our daughter on a 24 hour supervision because this was a suicide threat. The hospital placed an aide outside her door who began talking about having top surgery and how she identified as non binary. I objected and reported as inappropriate to your doctor on duty.
At that point, I was Told, why are you not more concerned that your daughter is trying to harm herself than what the aide is talking about? We had never been in a situation like this before and can you remind everyone that we wanted what was best for our daughter and only wanted her mental health needs met. The following incidents also happened at the hospital that I told both Cindy and the doctor and Judy I was very unhappy about. An RN rolled her eyes and referred to me as just the stepmom. Then when I asked the nurse to call our daughter by her given name, she sighed loudly and rolled her Elaine rolled her eyes again.
When lunch came, I suggested to our daughter she eat something healthy on her tray. The RN looked at me And yelled in the hallway, get this young man a banana split dessert. As time went on, many of the CNA's began to refer to me as just the stepmom And can you continue to roll their eyes at me whenever I spoke or ask any questions regarding my child's care. A pregnant aide sat watch to our daughter several times, and each time she told me I should be more respectful of her wishes to be referred to as a male and be called Leo. We felt this was undermining her parental rights as she said this in front of our child each time.
On Sunday, August 20th, when I arrived at the hospital, The vice president of the hospital stations outside of our daughter's room. I later found out he was the vice president of human not the entire hospital. When I expressed concern that our daughter was being given everything she wants and that they are reinforcing her bad behavior, Example, there was no school. Meals were cooked whenever she wanted, whatever she wanted to order. There was no bedtime, and she was allowed to watch all the TV she wanted.
The doctor on duty again told me I need to be more concerned about my daughter trying to hurt herself and not what she's eating or watching on TV. When I asked that all the staff only call our daughter by her birth name and please not use any nicknames, the hospital staff continued to roll their eyes at me and tell me I needed to respect Our daughter's wishes. Again, this was undermining our parental authority in front of my daughter. When I said anything someone did not like or disagreed with, I was told, Why are you not more concerned about your daughter's mental health? Our daughter was allowed to make phone calls to friends, including the young lady she told she was gonna kill herself too.
When I expressed my concerns that she's a minor and that her father and I need to be asked if she can call anyone except family, I was told we'll do what makes our patient comfortable. I had a very open communication with the hospital as well as Cindy from CPS. My husband and I let them know we agreed our daughter need to go to an inpatient facility and Excellent. We were told there may be a facility in Wyoming. I explained we had concerns with Wyoming.
It was our understanding that Wyoming has no laws against minors being given hormones or surgery without parental consent. We stated this as soon as Wyoming was brought up in our daughter's Hospital room on August 19th. We had looked online on our phones to see what laws were in white Wyoming regarding transgender care. Cindy from CPS said to us, well, I'm sure we will find a Montana facility, so this isn't an issue, and we can talk more about Wyoming if we have to cross that bridge. Cindy and the on duty doctor agreed we would try to find a Montana facility.
We expressed we preferred billings as we currently go there often for medical care, But we are open to any of the 6 Montana facilities that treat children. On the night of August 22nd 2023, we received a phone call from the hospital saying a bed had opened up in in Wyoming and our daughter needed to go. We were confused because early in the day, we were told she was next in line for a bed in Billings. My husband and I were not told the name of the facility only that we have to accept the Fed. We stated we had some concerns regarding Wyoming state laws and how they were different than state laws and further questions we needed answered before agreeing to Wyoming.
Within 15 minutes, Cindy from CPS Showed up at our house with the police serving us with papers removing our daughter from our care, stating we were refusing treatment. This is untrue. We simply ask that she stay in the state of Montana and what are our questions answered by anyone in the system before agreeing to move her to Wyoming. We were told we are not allowed to see or speak to our daughter at that time. Child protective services could have avoided this incident by simply communicating with us Regarding the Audacity procedures for a minor going to a care facility.
The reason stated for her removal was parents were unable or refusing to provide medical care. I met with Child Protective Services on Friday, August 25th in their office and provided 6 years worth of medical Records and insurance information proving their reason is an untrue statement. On Wednesday, August 23rd, our daughter was transported out of state By a CPS worker to the Wyoming facility. Court chiefs were sent into motion and we were assigned public defenders at that time. She was allowed to text her sister but also call people who are not part of her family from the staff person's cell phone.
She was also allowed to stop at her summer job I speak to her friends stating she had been taken she was being taken away to Wyoming because she was crazy and was trying to kill herself. This was a huge lapse in judgment on CPS and a miscarriage of law to our daughter who's only 14 years old. What if when she's older, this incident is behind her and she's in a good place mentally? This is a very small town that we live in, And we may have just branded her as the child who went crazy and tried to kill herself. Also concerning is that her mental state had deteriorated to the point of her needing inpatient care, but yet she was allowed to go in public and visit with her friends.
While at our local hospital, our daughter was not given surgery or hormones, But she was allowed to have men's products against our wishes, was allowed to make calls sharing her health information, and be called names other than her birth name. By placing an aide outside her door who kept talking about top surgery and being non binary and by other aides belittling us As for parents, the hospital care staff contributed to the further decline in our daughter's mental health and caused the breakdown of our family unit. Our daughter spent about a month in Wyoming at an inpatient facility. On Monday, September 25th, she was transferred to a group home in Billings, Montana for further medical care until she's mentally stable. Since August, we have been in a legal custody battle of child protective services.
Our public defenders have advised us to just play nice and go along with child protective services recommendations and allow our daughters to remain in the group home setting without causing any fights. We have followed their advice for the last few months and now our rights are being completely stripped away. As on this Friday, January 19th, We are set to lose custody of our daughter because allowing her to be transgender is in her therapeutic interest, and we are not following recommended therapy. We have endured false accusations from child protective services that my husband is an alcoholic who drinks daily, that I am verbally abusive to our daughter. It should be noted that none of these incidents have been proven.
We have no criminal records nor were there any witnesses who have seen us fighting, being drunks, or being abusive in any way to the 3 children that we have had in our parental care. We have provided character witness letters as well as statements From an employee who lived in our home last summer who have never seen or witnessed any of this adverse behavior.
Speaker 0: Since our daughter has been in the group home setting, We have had numerous meetings regarding our wishes for her not to be referred to as a boy. Our wishes are for the program to be therapy based allow our family unit to continue to have the right to parent our daughter as we seek it to maintain her care. Our daughter is only referred to there as Leo, he, and him. She has been allowed to shave her head, wears only men's clothes, wears a chest binder, and uses men's hygiene products. She attends a therapeutic school program and is in all boy groups.
She has been allowed to attend a church that no one will name. She has had numerous doctor appointments for birth control therapy, so she has no, so she no longer has a menstrual cycle. One of her daily goals set by the group home therapist is, I will accept and embrace my chosen gender 80% of the time. This is transgendering our child against our wishes. Our rights have been so stripped and limited that we're not even allowed to know what dentist you recently saw.
She was given some flu shots without our consent. Child protective services continues to say, Oh, so sorry if it was an oversight you were not told. When we ask questions, we're labeled as difficult to work with when all we want to know is what medical treatment is being provided and by what doctors, what medications she's being given as well as weekly updates daily if there's an issue. On December 4th 2023, we had a court date. The judge told us we could look for another placement for our daughter that was more in line with our religious beliefs and our core values.
This is an impossible task as there's no programs that take private insurance, so our choices have been to We mortgage our home to pay for a program or accept that she must stay where she is. I love my daughter. She's my youngest. I love her unconditionally and only want her to refrain from making decisions, any decisions until she has the maturity and life experiences understand what the consequences are for her actions. We have asked that treatment explore why someone would dislike themselves so much that they would want to change their entire being.
Why are we not looking at the past trauma and losses that this young lady has seen in her life?
Speaker 1: Todd and I love our daughter beyond words. We are not naive and understand that we have an adolescent girl who has struggle with mental health issues most of her life on our hands. The system has not helped our daughter. Instead, the system has taught her how to weaponize the system itself to receive what she wants. We do not believe the system has tried to treat her mental health issues, instead has forcefully focused on the transgender component and on forcing us into doing things against our family values, religious beliefs, and core moral beliefs.
Much damage has already been done to our family. How many families will the system destroy? Is the state of Montana willing to open the door And take every troubled child who is angry with their parents, placing them in group home settings, and violating the rights as caregivers, Providers, parents, and moral morally diminishing and destroying our family units. Our next Court date is Friday, January 19th. At which time, the court has already decided to remove our parental rights and transfer our daughter to her birth mom who's been an absent parent for the past 7 years and resides in the country of Canada.
This is a medical kidnapping, and this needs to stop. We currently only have a public defender whose advice has been to play nice. We are running out of time, and we live in a small town With a population of about 31100 people, if there is any attorney willing to fight for us pro bono, please contact us via email. Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen to our family shattering story. We sincerely hope that this brings awareness to the destructive transitioning issue And keeps another family from being destroyed.
Our hope is that our daughter, who we love very much, does not become a A statistic or just another victim of the existing care system? You can reach us at our email, which is kristaandtoddcolstatat gmail.com. Kristaandtoddkol stad@gmail.com. Thank you for your time.

One of the people on the panel - a professor at Johns Hopkins University - answered that if Chanel wants to fight for the rights of child sex workers to be child sex workers, she just needs to create a project, get other people involved, and create a mass movement on the topic: https://t.co/6GCIlyjgjO
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker discusses the need to move away from reacting to moral panics and instead focus on building confidence and solidarity. They mention the importance of feeling supported in efforts such as addressing young people's role in the sex industry. They emphasize the value of a mass movement and the need to break away from the authoritarian exercise of power. The speaker also acknowledges the personal experiences and traumas that individuals bring to the work of solidarity, particularly in relation to gender and sexuality. They express gratitude for the opportunity to share their thoughts.

Speaker 0: But in sort of departing from, you know, always reacting to moral panics, which are just, you know, kind of impossible to reckon with on their own terms, how are we also developing strategies of, yeah, building confidence, building, like, the capacities of courage, and, like, truly a sense of solidarity so that, you know, for example, if you're part of a project trying to think about the, you know, young people's, role in the sex industry, right, that one of the ways you might feel, like you're, you know, going to be able to lend time and energy to that effort, is it it doesn't feel like you'll you could be hung up to dry alone for an attorney. So a mass movement has a kind of persuasive value. And I don't mean confidence as in, like, detached, kind of, you know, sort of a neutral affect. This could be boisterous, angry. Right?
I mean, that affect could be whatever it is. But I do think there's something to me about just the feeling of being on the stage, you know, emotionally politically right now. Right? Where the the the authoritarian it's very loud, it's very brash, is it ravels in its own perversity. And, you know, it's just kinda enjoying the exercise of power and, not saying our path is to mirror that heading.
But, you know, thinking about, sort of, what that kind of exercise of mass political agency would feel like and how it would present itself, seems really important to me for breaking with, some of the really deep politicizing, and actually just, like, excruciating, aspects of trying to do work in solidarity with young people, especially around gender and sexuality, where also, let's just say, like, you know, so many of us bring our own personal experience, negative experiences as young people, our own experiences with violence, with traumas that are obviously, you know, we can't dissociate from the work that we do. So that was just one thing I really wanted to have during the time. It really it it was really moving to me.

The speaker, Chanel, expresses gratitude for the panelists' work and discusses the intersection of migrants, justice, and capitalism. She mentions the child sex trafficking conspiracy theories and admits that she had never considered the idea of young people in the sex industry as part of a children's liberation vision. Chanel believes that young people in the sex industry deserve rights, liberation, and justice. She asks the panelists how they are thinking about the liberation of marginalized children, including those on the streets and in foster care systems. Chanel acknowledges the difficulty of addressing this topic but emphasizes the importance of discussing the rights of children.

Speaker 0: Hey, folks. First of all, thank you both. I really appreciate your work. My name is Chanel, and I, the sector that was working at the intersection of migrants, justice, capitalism, etcetera. And, we've been dealing with the child sex panic, you know, the child sex trafficking conspiracy theories for since the late nineties, and I had never until this panel been, like, what about young people in the sex industry as part of a children's liberation vision?
Like, there's just like a utopia I had never really thought of before, because the world feels so separated and the issue of, you know, youth and sex work is so incredibly loaded. Like, I was just like, don't even know if I'd ask this question because it's in livestream. Like, it is just so it's like you are you are rolling into a lot of trouble, when you start talking about the rights of young people in the sex industry, but young people in the sex industry deserve and need rights, at minimum, actually, liberation and justice. And thank you. So, you know, I just was like, I want to hear folks who are thinking about the liberation of children and about movements for the liberation of children and how you understand, I just like to what extent you're thinking through, you know, because when that includes, like, having marginalized kids, kids on the street, like, that for sure includes people don't expect.
Right? That includes people don't expect to survive the the foster care systems and on the streets and, Yeah. How are you thinking about that? Are you thinking about that? Is that are we just, like, walking through too much trouble to even try to address that we're talking about the rights of children.
So I wanna put that up there. And thank you

In a recent training on Trans Activism, queer activist sbpinkmantaray claimed it's beneficial if kids identify as trans before their brains fully develop. They argue that transphobia is the main reason for detransitioning. Detransitioners who speak out against transition are not representative. Parents should affirm their child's decision, even if they detransition later. Schuyler emphasizes that affirming a trans child is crucial to prevent suicide. Medical racism makes it easier for white kids to access trans-affirming care, leading to some choosing wrong. Find the full story and training on ActivelyUnwoke Substack.

🚨🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨🚨 Last night, I went inside a training called "Trans Activism & You: A Review of & Response to Anti-Trans Rhetoric." That's where I heard queer activist @sb_pinkmantaray say it's a GOOD THING if kids decide they're trans before their brains are fully developed:
Video Transcript AI Summary
Being transgender is not a mental illness, as approved by major medical, psychological, and psychiatric associations. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the part of the brain that matures in the early twenties and is responsible for decision-making. Executive function, which includes planning and inhibition, is the primary function of the PFC. However, executive function does not relate to one's identity. In fact, individuals without a mature PFC may be better equipped to express their true selves, as they are less likely to inhibit who they are. This is seen in autistic individuals and those with ADHD. The idea that the brain has not fully developed yet supports the notion that inhibiting one's identity can be detrimental if it goes against societal norms.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Right? Being transgender is also not a mental illness, and this is really, really important. It's kind of aligned with this first argument, not a decision, not a mental illness, and every single major medical, psychological, and psychiatric association approves trans is not a mental illness. And science really supports trans people in this in this realm of this whole, like, brains haven't finished developing yet, so let's talk about the brain, and and what hasn't finished developing yet in this argument. Okay?
The part of the brain most people are referring to when they're talking about, this this comment, the whole, like, you don't remember, brains are mature, and they are not done developing. They're talking about the prefrontal cortex. Whether they know it or not, another story, but this is the part of the brain that matures, in the early twenties. Alright? The PFC.
So it is true that the PFC does not mature until mid to late twenties, and it is a decision making center of the brain. The primary function is called executive function. It's the newest part of your brain. It's right behind your forehead. You can kind of think of, like, The back of your brain, back here, your cerebellum is the it kind of evolved forward.
It grew the brain kind of grew like this over the 1,000,000 of years, and the part at the front is the newest, and it's supposed to sort of regulate a lot of the the older parts that you might have heard the word of lizard brain. Okay? That's what the PFC does. But what exactly is executive function? And this is really important.
Executive function is decision making. Yes. It's planning, rule following, inhibition, right, stopping you from doing things that might violate social rules, so moderating social behavior. What's really important about all these things? None of them have to do with your identity.
They all, though, could help you moderate, right, inhibit your identity, especially if your identity violates social norms. Alright? So if we think about this executive function, this mature executive function actually could stop you from being able to better express your identity if your identity is not something that's accepted by society. So I actually argue, and I've talked to many other, like other psychologists, doctors about this. Children and people without a mature PFC are actually arguably better equipped, neurologically speaking, right, from a cognitive neuroscience standpoint, to be themselves because they are less likely to inhibit who they are and instead just be who they are.
We actually see this with autistic individuals. They're also more likely to identify as trans or or queer, and also folks with ADHD. There's a high correlation between a lot of these things that actually, have lower executive function and higher likelihood for disclosing their own identities. And it there's no I don't think, you know, I'm not I haven't studied this specifically, so this is, like, now my conjecture, but I don't think that's, like, an accident or just a coincidence. It is actually part of how kids work, When they're younger and they don't have that executive function, they say what they mean and they mean what they say, right, and I think there's actually a lot we can learn from them about that.
They haven't learned all the things that they're supposed to be, and instead, they're just who they are. So actually, this whole brain not developed thing yet helps helps in this in this context, okay, and so there's a lot there. We're not gonna get into it further than this, but I think I think the shortest way to say it is that if people throw this PFC or mature brain thing at you, you need to ask them, What do you think that brain part actually does? Right? And and see if they most people don't know the answer, then you can educate them.
It actually helps inhibit who you are, and if you're an adult here, which I think most of you are, you have definitely been in a social interaction at some point in your lives where you stopped yourself from doing something because it would have violated social behavior, right, or social rules, and that's valuable to some degree, right, because we're really social animals as humans, but again, if that violating social behaviour, means that you can't be yourself, that can be pretty detrimental. Alright?
@DrKarlynB - Karlyn Borysenko
What if the child decides wrong before their brain is fully developed? @sb_pinkmantaray assures us that the main reason that people detransition is transphobia. The world is just too transphobic for trans people to live in. That's why most detransitioners make that choice.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Most people detransition due to lack of social support and societal stigma, not because they're not trans. Transphobia and the difficulties of living as a trans person lead them to detransition in search of a more peaceful life. This highlights the impact of anti-trans rhetoric, as detransitioning is mostly not a result of someone not being trans. It's crucial to acknowledge this.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: It's also important as we think about that, ask ourselves why do people detransition because the data about why people detransition is super illuminating. Okay? Most people detransition due to lack of social support and the overwhelming presence of societal stigma. They are not detransitioning because they're not trans. K?
So most people are there some people that detransition because they're not trans? Sure. But most people are detransitioning because of transphobia, because it's too hard to live their lives as they are as trans people and so they detransition because they just wanna live their lives with peace, and some people decide that it's more peaceful to do so without walking the world as a trans person. K? This is devastating, but it also, I think, adds more to why anti trans rhetoric is a full of BS Because detransition, is mostly not because somebody's not trans.
Right? Super important to to recognize.
@DrKarlynB - Karlyn Borysenko
And if they do decide to detransition, @sb_pinkmantaray says it’s no big deal! Don’t believe what you’ve heard on Fox News, YouTube, or TikTok - all the detransitioners who talked about how transition ruined their life are NOT representative of real detransitioners.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Detransition is often portrayed negatively, but research shows that it is not necessarily traumatic with proper support. The Trans Youth Project, a longitudinal study on trans youth, found that retransitioning is not experienced as traumatic when there is a supportive environment. If individuals are allowed to explore their gender identity without judgment, they are generally fine. Most of this exploration happens before any medical interventions are made. Retransition and detransition are about letting people see themselves and supporting them in their journey. If gender nonconformity wasn't stigmatized, detransition would be more accepted. These important considerations about detransition are not widely shared.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Also, it's important to think about what is detransition actually like. Right? What's the experience of detransition? Because a lot of people that you watched videos about or seen on TikTok or watched a YouTube video, they characterize it as this horrible thing. Right?
A lot of the Fox news profiles, I've read a few of them unfortunately are deeply upsetting. The person is like, this doctor forced this on me and and then I got surgery and now I'm miserable and I'm forever maimed and mutilated. Like, they use all these horrible words and they talk about it as if it's the end of the world, and I want you to think about actually what the research shows about detransition. Those experiences aren't false. It's not that.
I'm not saying they're lying, but they're not representative. Okay? Research actually shows that detransition or what's called retransition in a lot of the affirming literature is not actually traumatic when there's support. This is really, really key. This is a quote from, doctor Christina Olson is a is a, a researcher who's running the Trans Youth Project, which is the longest longitudinal study on trans youth.
Hundreds of trans youth have been in her study. And she writes this. Or interestingly, we are not finding that the youth who retransitioned in our study are experiencing that as traumatic. We've been finding that when youth are in supportive environments, supportive in the sense of being okay with the gender exploration, or both the initial transition and later retransition are fine. Alright?
So what does this mean? It means if you say, hey, I don't hear who you are in terms of whatever direction of transition you'd like to go, and I just want you to be happy and explore. The kids are fine. They're really fine. And most of the time, these these kids are actually doing a lot of this exploration before any interventions would ever be made medically.
Alright? And so a lot of retransition and detransition is just about letting the people see themselves in whatever capacity and supporting them as they do, and if some, for some reason they're wrong about it and they, they want a shift, great, or another exploration, but exploration is often deemed as bad. And again, that goes back to what I said earlier. It's because transness is deemed as bad. But if gender nonconformity wasn't demonized in the way that it is, detransition would be fine.
Right? Or so really important kind of considerations, about, detransition specifically that I think are not shared publicly enough.
@DrKarlynB - Karlyn Borysenko
.@sb_pinkmantaray explains parents should assume their kids are right when they declare they are trans before their brain is developed and affirm their decision. Even if they detransition later, the important thing is that you affirm them and support whatever decision they make.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker raises the question of "what if they're wrong?" but counters with "what if they're right?" They mention that detransitioners are usually fine and may even have a different appreciation for the world. The speaker personally knows a few detransitioners who are doing well and believe their transition still saved their lives. Rejecting them can contribute to harm, as shown by research on the negative effects of not accessing gender affirming care and support from parents. Whether they're right or wrong, affirming them is positive and shows belief and support. The speaker provides a link for more information.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: What if they're wrong? Right? I I think people ask this question. Everybody's always saying what if they're wrong? What if they're wrong?
What if they're wrong? I need you to ask yourself what if they are right? Alright? The what if they're wrong? They'll be fine.
Right? The research has shown us that most of the time, detransitioners are actually totally fine if they're wrong. They'll live. They'll they'll be able to share with themselves. They might have a different appreciation for the world.
I actually know 2 or 3 people who have detransitioned, and they're also fine. In fact, many of them say their transition saved their life still, even though they realized after going through these things that, maybe actually that wasn't me, They had something that that helped them through, right? What if they're right? This is the most important question. What if they're right?
If you reject them, You contribute to that sense of harm. Right? Again, if you saw the research before, not accessing gender affirming care plus accessing, not accessing support from parents, Both of those things directly contribute to the sis to the harm, of of these kids, especially suicidality. Alright? And if they're right, Awesome.
Then you've affirmed them. But so if they're right, the I think the only thing we can do, generally speaking, is affirm them. And if they're wrong or if they're right, Both both times, it's positive if you have affirmed them. Because you're saying, again, I believe you, and I support you no matter what your gender is. Right.
There's more on this link about this specific question, at the link in the, on the screen? And Becca can put it in the chat. Don't watch it now because I want you to be present, but save it for later. It'll also be in the resource
@DrKarlynB - Karlyn Borysenko
Just to add a little extra emotional blackmail, Schuyler reminds people that a detransitioned child is better than a dead child. If you don’t affirm your child when they tell you they are trans, there is a 41% chance they will commit suicide.
Video Transcript AI Summary
It's important to notice that transitioners often survive and share their stories, while non-affirmed trans kids often do not. This is crucial for parents and friends to understand. Detransitioners have shared their experiences on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Unfortunately, non-affirmed trans individuals have a high suicide rate, with up to 41% attempting or committing suicide, usually before the age of 23. This is devastating and emphasizes the importance of affirmation for trans youth.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: It's also really important to notice this is a little dark, but I want you to think about this. It's also important to notice that the transitioners often live to tell the tale. K? Trans kids who are not affirmed often do not. This is so important to think about, and I want to remind especially any parent of this or if you're friends of parents.
Detransitioners, you've listened to their stories. You've read their stories. You've watched them on TikTok. Seen them on YouTube. Trans kids who are not affirmed are often not here to share that story with you.
We have a massively high Level of suicide in the community, up to 41% of people attempt or commit suicide who are trans. That is almost 1 in 2, okay? And usually, that's before the age of 23. Usually, it's a it's youth. Devastating, and it's, again, another argument for why affirmation is that much more important.
@DrKarlynB - Karlyn Borysenko
Finally, @sb_pinkmantaray explains most of the kids who detransition are white. After all, medical racism makes it much easier for white kids to get trans-affirming care than BIPOC kids. Those white kids are so lucky to have such easy access that some of them choose wrong!
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker asks why most detransition stories are from white individuals and prompts the audience to share their thoughts in the chat. Some responses suggest that white people receive more support and protection, while people of color may face discrimination and lack access to healthcare. The speaker highlights the health disparities driven by race and socioeconomic status, including medical racism. They emphasize that easy access to gender affirming healthcare is often limited to white individuals, causing frustration for trans people who face long waits and barriers. The speaker clarifies that the issue is not about reducing access, but rather increasing competency in healthcare and addressing medical racism.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I have a little question for you all, and this is a interactive question, so I wanted you to answer this in the chat. You might also notice, as I have, that most detransition stories you've read or watched are actually white folks. Okay? Why is this important? Why am I bringing up race suddenly?
Let's hear some ideas in the chat. Why do you think that most detransition stories are white people? No wrong answers. Be brave. Who's gonna be the brave first person.
The more they watch more Fox News. Okay. Fair. Think of safety. Not sure how to explain, but I think whiteness comes with the protection.
Okay, white folks get the support in the 1st place. Perhaps people of color don't do not, because western mindset says trans people are barbarian. Okay. All fair answers. We don't often talk about intersectionality, but the erasure of BIPOC experiences.
Also fair? Okay. These are all these are all, great rate, brainstormed. So there's many different reasons, but okay. Caelin, you just you just named it, access to health care.
Alright? So there is a dis there's a big health disparity between, that is driven by race, okay, and by socioeconomic, status as well, but a lot of it is is stratified across race. Right? There's a lot of medical racism out there as well. So black folks are less likely to be believed, just generally speaking, in a doctor's office.
They're less likely to believe be believed about pain, about diagnoses. They're less likely to they're more likely to die in childbirth, for example. They're less likely to be given pain meds. They're less likely to be receiving accurate and good care. There's lots of of studies to support this.
So I you know, you can Google that very quickly. But the the point I'm trying to make is that these folks who have gotten, quote, too easy access to gender affirming health care are almost always white because black folks and other BIPOC folks don't have access to kind of health care. And if they do, they're not being treated well in those health care arenas. Alright? And I think it's really this this to me is like my friend, Ashley Marie Preston, as somebody who shared this with me, and if you don't follow her, you should, when she was talking about detransitioners and how so many of them are white, she said, you gotta think about what's happening here.
Right, there's very intersectional systems that are that are interacting here that's causing the these folks to even have the access to health care that makes it possible to have easy gender affirming care be then so easy that somebody gets it when they when they shouldn't. Right? I run support groups for trans and queer people. I have 6 of them that I run a month and a lot I have a specific POC group, and nobody in that group is like, oh my god. It was so easy to get health yeah, right, most people in those groups are waiting years for top surgery.
They're waiting years to get, approved for taking testosterone or getting any other gender affirmation processes, and then you've read the read these stories about people who have, like, so easily accessed it that they now regret it because they didn't think they should. Can you imagine how infuriating that is for so many trans people to read? Right? So the ease is is actually, I think, part of part of the issue is that people are there there are doctors that are more willing to believe white folks than they are willing to believe black folks, alright, or other people of color. Does this mean we need to reduce access?
No. This is not an argument for reducing access. This is still an argument for increasing competency, right, in health care, and part of that is reducing medical racism and improving trans competency simultaneously.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Jesse Hagopian, a teacher in Seattle, commends the work of teachers in Florida who are defying laws to discuss systemic racism. He highlights how Florida's ban on African American Studies curriculum led to the removal of the word "systemic" from the course. Hagopian warns that Florida's laws, such as the ban on discussing LGBTQ+ topics, are being exported to other states. He draws parallels between the current situation and the McCarthy era, where teachers were fired for being labeled communist or homosexual. Hagopian believes that the civil rights movement and LGBTQ+ liberation are crucial in combating these oppressive laws. He expresses concern about the possibility of teachers being jailed and offers his support to those facing felony charges.

Speaker 0: Alright. Thank you everybody. I'm Jesse Hagopian. I'm a teacher in Seattle and I work with Black Lives Matter at school and the Zen Education Project and Rethinking Schools. So I've actually got to zoom in and do meetings with classrooms in Florida and with some bold teachers who invited us into the classroom in in the tradition of fugitive pedagogy, you know, smuggling in contraband curriculum, you know, showing the film, the rebellious life of Mrs.
Rosa Parks and then having us come and discuss systemic racism in a state where it's illegal. And so that that rebellion is inspiring to me and telling teachers in my state to do this work if they can do it in those conditions, right? So I thank you all for the work you're doing. The fight that you're putting up it's really a fight for all of us because we know what they are incubating in Florida is about exporting it all across the country. And we're already seeing that, right?
When Florida banned the African American Studies curriculum, the response wasn't a rebellion for ethnic studies all across the country. The response from the college board was, okay, cool. We'll cut everything that you wanted out of it. So the word systemic does not exist in African American curriculum anymore. That is not an advanced course.
If you can't talk about systemic racism, you're just lying about this country. Right? They they are now exporting the don't say gay, don't say trans laws across the country now that Florida is not the only state now. Right. So they are incubating this fascism and working on ways to export it.
I think that one of the ways we need to understand what's happening right now to understand how the defeated is to look at the McCarthy era because the red scare And the lavender scare are the playbook, I think, that they're they're drawing from very consciously. Label anything that you don't like communism And then fire the people, right? So thousands of teachers lost their jobs across the country as a result of the Red Scare. And and the Lavender Scare, actually, more people were fired from the federal government for being labeled, quote, homosexual than than, even red, right, even a communist. And, specifically, in Florida, the Johns Committee was set up to interrogate teachers to bring them from their classrooms to sit before a committee in the forties fifties and have to defend their sexuality.
And if you were just a single woman, teacher, you were under suspicion of being lesbian, and we're often fired. Right? And that they're very consciously reviving that with with these laws. And I think when we can see that history and teach that history to young people, to our social movements, it helps us understand the tradition they stand in and and the one that we stand in because what ended the McCarthy era and the red and the red scare and the lavender scare was the eruption of the civil rights movement, the Black Power movement, the gay liberation. Right?
LGBTQ people fighting for their liberation, and that that's really what I think it's gonna take today. And I'll just end by saying the new logo's in the place that that says that if you have the wrong book in your classroom about about race or sexuality, you can faced a felony in Florida. Right? That you're 5 years in jail. Including a child that's 2 offenders.
Right. Exactly. And so my question is just to add is, what do we do when the first do you think they're actually about putting teachers in jail. Is that the next step? And if that happens, what's our like, I wanna get on the next plane, the 1st teacher who faces a felony for having a wrong book, I want to get down there and be in front of that school.
