This week, the City Council of Huntington Beach, California, fought back against the leftist state by voting for an ordinance making the city a “Parents’ Right to Know City,” thus barring schools from keeping parents uninformed about their children’s “sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.” California’s Assembly Bill 1955 prevents public schools from disclosing a student’s “sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression” to the child’s parents. The new ordinance, which was passed 4-3, would permit the city attorney to sue California and challenge the constitutionality of the legislation. The Liberty Justice Center, which is challenging the constitutionality of AB 1955, released a statement celebrating the city’s new ordinance. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

We are encouraged by the leadership of Huntington Beach City Council in enacting an ordinance that declares Huntington Beach a ‘Parents’ Right to Know City,” Senior Counsel Emily Rae stated, adding: Parents are the legal guardians of their minor children and have the right to know what their children are doing at school. The vast majority of California voters across the political spectrum support parental rights. The Liberty Justice Center is proud to represent our clients in California for free and to support them in fighting for their individual rights and liberties as parents. In mid-July, California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 1955 into law, making his state the first in the nation to ban school districts from alerting parents of their children’s sexuality or if they have adopted gender identities that conflict with those on their school records. “This bill would prohibit school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and the state special schools, and a member of the governing board or body of those educational entities, from enacting or enforcing any policy, rule, or administrative regulation that requires an employee or a contractor to disclose any information related to a pupil’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression to any other person without the pupil’s consent unless otherwise required by law,” Assembly Bill 1955 states. “LGBTQ+ pupils have the right to express themselves freely at school without fear, punishment, or retaliation, including that teachers or administrators might ‘out’ them without their permission. Policies that require outing pupils without their consent violate pupils’ rights to privacy and self-determination.” In July 2023, the Chino Valley Unified School District became the state’s first to require parental notification if a student adopted a transgender identity. The following month, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a temporary restraining order to bar the district from implementing that policy. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “I can’t believe we’re at a point in America where authoritarians in power are fighting this hard to keep sexual secrets about children from their own parents,” Liberty Justice Center Board Member Corey DeAngelis stated. “They are now using the heavy hand of the state to subvert local control and try to strip away the most fundamental parental rights. I’m proud of the parents in Chino Valley Unified who are fighting back for their constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children. I’m proud to be a board member at Liberty Justice Center, fighting alongside them. We will win this war the authoritarians are waging on parents.”

Locked-in syndrome is a rare neurological disorder. A stroke or other traumatic brain injury can cause it. For Jake Haendel, the cause was Toxic Progressive Stage 4 Leuko-encephalopathy. We discussed Jake’s drug addiction in an earlier article. Basically, Jake’s brain was damaged by smoking drugs off aluminum foil. The foil produces a toxin that kills off parts of the brain. Today, Jake is celebrating a new milestone. He gets exuberant and utters an NSFW word at the end of this video, so be prepared for that, please. @miraclman31 I’m the only person in the world in the world who has come this far from locked in syndrome #tbi #traumaticbraininjury #recovery #physicaltherapy #disability #disabilityawareness #ahoi #disabilitytiktok ♬ original sound – Jake Haendel Jake suffered from locked-in syndrome for ten months. His body could not move, but his mind was active. He could not move, eat, or breathe on his own. He was trapped inside the prison of his own body. It was like being in solitary confinement with no way to communicate. After months of this isolation, Jake said he had mentally decided to get better. It was a long road back, with intensive physical therapy. Jake had to relearn everything from basic motor movements to speaking. In May 2023, after many years of hard work, Jake had made significant progress and could begin to enjoy life again. This time around, he is doing it without drugs and avoiding the mistakes that caused his locked-in syndrome. Jake is a rarity. Most people never recover beyond simple communication using eye blinks. He is a walking, talking example of pure determination and hard work. He also gave himself a mission to help others with disabilities by creating a navigation app. Life After Locked-in Syndrome Jake is the only person to survive Acute Toxic Progressive Leuko-encephalopathy. He went from a prognosis of six months to live to being able to function almost normally. The brain injury has left some lingering problems. Once he began moving around, Jake noticed a lack of disability access and challenges, and he is working to help. With a team of people, Jake has been instrumental in launching a mobility app for persons with disabilities. Ahoi! is an innovative crowdsourcing app that helps people navigate their neighborhoods. Users can supply reviews of businesses, note permanent or temporary obstacles, and point out alternate, ADA-friendly entrances for buildings. The app will help people on scooters, in wheelchairs, with walkers, or any mobility devices. The app generates specific information based on each user’s profile, disability, and needs. Jake’s motivation is to give disabled people the necessary information to get around without fear of the unknown. Knowing accessibility options helps people plan routes, schedule appointments, run routine errands, and increase overall independence. Images from TikTok and Instagram. You can follow Jake’s continuing journey on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Linked In. The Ahoi! app is available in the App Store and the Google Play store. You can also join the Ahoi! mailing list for updates on this incredible navigation app. Jake did exactly what he said he was going to do. He is working toward increasing independence for all persons with disabilities. Please share this. We all know someone who needs to see it.
