According to Massachusetts authorities, 44-year-old Slade Sohmer has pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of dissemination of child pornography.

During the public comment section of a recent school board meeting, a Florida mother attempted to share a sexually explicit image featured in a school library book, but she was promptly interrupted, the New York Post reported. Julie Gebhards, a Tampa resident, addressed the Hillsborough County school board, hoping to bring attention to an inappropriate graphic novel in the district’s libraries. Gebhards explained that “Blankets” by Craig Thompson, which features sexually explicit images and passages, was approved unanimously by Plant City High School’s seven-person panel, despite being challenged by parents. “This is in children’s libraries here in Hillsborough County,” she...

I apologize for being gross, but it's necessary. You have to be shocked into recognizing the moral horror of what a part of the nation's largest teacher's union is doing. It is unspeakable, but we have to speak about it. The most effective work that the irreplaceable Christopher Rufo does is simply to get documents from institutions, and post them in full to the web, so ordinary people can see what kind of corrupt, racist or otherwise depraved people run these institutions. His latest is from the LGBTQ+ caucus of the National Education Association (NEA), the country's largest teachers union,...

A Democrat candidate for state Senate in Virginia appears to have been raising money for a “good cause” by performing graphic sex acts online, where she told viewers she liked “being choked” and said they could watch her urinate for the right price, according to material reviewed by The Daily Wire. Susanna Gibson, who is running for a seat in the narrowly divided Virginia statehouse, was as recently as last year posting as “HotWifeExperience” on the website Chaturbate, where men could pay tokens to get her to perform specific sex acts. In one video recorded shortly after she launched her...

Western Heights Public School District in Oklahoma has reportedly hired a drag queen known as Carmen Deveraux, who works at Oklahoma City night club The Boom, as a kindergarten classroom assistant. The school previously defended its August decision to hire Dr. Shane Brent Murnan as an elementary school principal at John Glenn Elementary. Murnan is a drag queen who performs under the name Shantel Mandalay and has an arrest record for child pornography, the Substack newsletter V1sut first reported. In 2001, while working as a fifth-grade teacher at Will Rogers Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Murnan was arrested two weeks...

Unlike some of my peers on the right-wing internet, I never got emotional about Liz Cheney. However, now that I've seen Rep. Harriet Hageman in action, I would like to say THANK YOU to the great people of Wyoming. I've been wanting to hear someone make this point for a while, and the congresswoman succeeded in making an anti-parental rights witness squirm. It was a subcommittee Hearing on “Free Speech: The Biden Administration’s Chilling of Parental Rights.” Nadine Farid Johnson, the managing director at something called PEN America, spoke out against parental rights. Rep. Hageman had a simple question, really....

A federal judge ruled Thursday that a Texas law requiring pornography sites to institute age-verification measures — and add prominent warning labels about the alleged dangers of porn — violates the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment prohibition against free-speech restrictions. A lawsuit seeking to overturn the Texas legislation was filed Aug. 4 by the Free Speech Coalition, a group that included Pornhub’s parent company, adult industry advocacy groups and an adult performer (referred to in filings as “Jane Doe”). Under the Texas law, which was set to go into effect Sept. 1, 2023, porn sites would have been required to use...

My 13 year old nephew has come to live with me, I am a widower and my brother's wife (his mother) is seriously ill and hospitalized. There is all kinds of crap I need to overcome to get him enrolled in the local public school and I am not sure it is in his best interests anyway. So I will be retiring at the end of the week and giving him the attention of one of the best instructors on the planet-- me.He asked me why I despised CNN and I told them their fear pornography was worse than standard...

(Photo by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash) It’s shocking, though in no way overstated, to conclude that Americans today are living through a time of total spiritual warfare, when virtually all of the most contentious and consequential issues are neither political, ideological nor psychological. They are flat-out spiritual – good versus evil. There’s the early sexualization of innocent children in the nation’s public schools. And the mass-hysteria transgender craze that seduces mentally fragile teenagers into undergoing mutilating and irreversible surgeries. And the love affair with killing human babies in their mother’s womb. And the massive foreign invasion of America, purposefully engineered...

School Board interrupts mom who is reading an explicit library book because it's not appropriate for the crowd.

The Idaho Freedom Caucus calls upon the Idaho Commission for Libraries to end its membership and cut all ties with the Marxist-led American Library Association (ALA). We call on local public and school libraries to do the same. We have significant concerns about the election of Emily Drabinski, a self-described “Marxist lesbian,” as the next president of the ALA. Her election raises issues about libraries’ involvement in exposing children to explicit materials and injecting hard-left politics and sexuality into publicly funded libraries. With her election, have concerns about libraries’ adherence to their educational purpose and their responsible use of taxpayer...

A Florida judge this week sided with the state in a challenge by the Florida teachers union over rules that restrict what books and materials are available in classrooms. The union and two other advocacy groups sued the state in March, saying the way it interpreted a new law about school library books went further than the law intended, leading to censorship and book bans. The 2022 law requires districts to catalog every book on school shelves and create a formal review process for complaints. Some parents have asked for certain books to be removed from schools because of the...

Educators at Palisades High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, called it “Right to Read Day”—a contest where students were encouraged last month to “fight back against censorship” by reading and making videos about frequently banned books. But many of the books promoted in this contest were laden with pornography, including graphic rape scenes, pedophilia and anal sex between minors. Headline USA learned this from Wendy Hawley, a concerned parent of a student at Palisades; and Brooke Weiss, a substitute teacher at Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the head of North Carolina local chapter of the non-profit organization Moms for Liberty. “When I...

A new study has revealed a concerning link between men who watch porn and a serious health condition. New reports suggest a significant link between men who watch “problematic” pornography and the likelihood of them developing an eating disorder, according to research published in Body Image. Researchers from the University of Haifa and the Max Stern Yezreel Valley College in Israel conducted the study, which was released earlier this month.

The outrage is growing against RINO legislators in conservative states who vote against bills to protect children from pornography, “sex-change” medical procedures, and other harm by the radical Left.

About 25 minutes, shows pictures of and details regarding those arrested. We need every sheriff in the country working hard to remove these perverts.

Course instructor Jennifer Pollitt claimed the course will help fill in gaps in students' sexual education. Temple University in Pennsylvania has started its first "porn-studies course" this semester, aiming to teach students about sex outside of a moral, "right vs wrong" framework. Additionally, the new course, which has become popular at the school, will serve as a "jumping off point" to talk about woke issues like "race, ability, and the patriarchy," the Business Insider reported after talking to the course’s instructor, Professor Jennifer Pollitt. The Insider piece described the course, titled "Social Perspectives and Digital Pornography: The Other Sex Ed,"...

In Virginia, state Sen. Monty Mason (D-Williamsburg) and state Del. Shelly Simonds (D-Newport) mocked Republicans over a bill (SB 1515) that would require porn websites to verify a user's age before allowing access to lewd content. "Speaking from my own personal experience, I'd say that porn is a vital educational resource for boys entering puberty," Mason asserted. "Keeping these explicit images available is the antidote to the ignorance that prudery has foisted on the young for generations. In an ideal world, porn would be part of every middle school curriculum. Short of this, keeping the access open for children to...

Two Democratic lawmakers in Virginia were caught on hot mic last week mocking parental rights as "garbage," "crap," and "stupid," according to two recordings posted on social media by the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC).On the recordings, which were taken at a Friday meet-and-greet at Christopher Newport University, state Sen. Monty Mason and state Del.

Glenn Youngkin...

Conservative Talk Show Host Dennis Prager not only gives men permission to use porn but implies their wives should be glad their husbands consume it.“Men want variety. … If pornography is a substitute for one’s wife, it’s awful. If it’s a substitute for adultery, it’s not awful.”These words came courtesy of one of the biggest conservative talk show hosts in America, Dennis Prager, in response to a porn question from Jordan Peterson during a discussion of Exodus for The Daily’s Wire’s eponymous series.This is “not a religious answer,” emphasized Prager — who comes from a Judaic background and claims to...
