LAS VEGAS – While radical activists and liberal school bureaucrats continue their assault on parental rights and religious liberty across America, a clear victory for common sense and faith just unfolded in Indiana. The South Madison County School Corporation has agreed to pay $200,000 to former school counselor Kathy McCord after firing her for refusing to follow a policy that forced staff to conceal from parents when their child was identifying as the opposite sex at school.
McCord, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, held fast to her deeply held Christian beliefs and her commitment to parental authority. She would not lie to mothers and fathers or secretly affirm a child’s confusion behind their backs. The district’s surrender and payout send a powerful message: you cannot trample the First Amendment rights of faithful Americans and expect to escape accountability.

As ADF attorneys stated plainly, “No American should be fired for expressing her beliefs.” This settlement protects the sacred bond between parents and children while affirming that public schools have no right to play secret social engineers with our kids’ minds and bodies.
This fight is part of a larger march to restore religious freedom that is gaining ground in red states willing to push back against the radical gender ideology machine. Indiana’s action reminds us that when good people of faith stand united, rooted in biblical truth and traditional family values, they can prevail against government overreach and woke indoctrination.
Here in Nevada, we see the same battles brewing in our own schools and communities. Parents are not the enemy – they are the first and best line of defense for their children. We reject the notion that teachers or administrators know better than moms and dads when it comes to the well-being of our sons and daughters.
We salute Kathy McCord for her courage and the Alliance Defending Freedom for their tireless work protecting believers across the nation. Let this be a rallying cry for every pro-family, pro-life conservative: keep marching, keep praying, and never surrender the God-given rights of parents to raise their children according to their faith and values.
