Forsyth Technical Community College hosted a Pride Festival on March 22, that boasted drag shows, contraceptives, and lured students in with free food and drinks. 

The festival was produced by Forsyth Tech’s Pride Club and was joined by organizations like Prevent Ongoing Spread of STIs Everywhere (POSSE), a program of the Forsyth County Health Department. Ironically, various churches and ministers were invited to this event. 

The college, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has two high schools on the main campus. The Pride Fest was open to all students on campus, including those who were under 18 years old. Fliers for the event were displayed around campus giving details of the festival and the drag performances that would occur.

In an explicit video obtained by Libs of TikTok, one drag queen was seen performing a lap dance for someone reported to be a student, while others cheered and staff looked on and laughed. Some parents were outraged that although faculty members and campus police were present, no one attempted to ensure that underage students were prevented from participating in the drag event. Forsyth Tech maintained that faculty, staff and campus police were there to “make sure that this was a safe event for our students.”

In a statement to Libs of Tik Tok, Forsyth Tech made no effort to apologize for the inclusion of underage teenagers: “Forsyth Tech is committed to being a place of promise for our students. In order to fulfill that promise, we have clearly spelled out our mission, vision and equity statements,” it read. The spokesperson also confirmed that this event was open to all students on campus, including high school students: “These students, like all college students, are open to attend any student event.”

That's essentially what the New York City Department of Education is teaching young children. 

In 2015, the NYC Department of Education partnered with Lambda Literary, an LGBTQ literary organization, to implement their LGBTQ Writers in School program in the NYC public school system. The program arranges for LGBTQ writers to visit K-12 classrooms to discuss LGBTQ literature and provide “safe spaces for students to talk about great books, queer life, and how to thrive as an LGBTQ person.” Books are chosen by the teachers from a suggested book list, and the students are required to read the books prior to the visit. 

The organizers of this program deny that their goal is to "groom students with made up gender ideologies” or focus the curriculum on "sex and sexual activities," yet the content of the books tell a very different story. Children as young as 3 years old are encouraged to read books that focus on gender identities and sexual orientations. One recommended book, ABC of Gender Identity, lists 26 different genders in alphabetical order. When Aidan Became a Brother, also on the reading list, details how young Aidan realized he was a trans boy and “fixed the parts of life that didn't fit anymore.” 

In an elementary school virtual visit featuring author Ernesto Javier Martinez, students participated in the reading of Martinez’s book, When We Love Someone We Sing to Them. The author described the book as one that depicts what it is like to have your first crush. He then went on to read the book: “What song should we sing for your friend, “ Martinez read. “Teach me a song for a boy who loves boys.” 

The books get a little more explicit when it comes to the middle and high school recommendations. The One Who Loves You The Most tells the story of twelve-year-old Gabriela, who is “trying to find their place in the world… and in their body, which feels less and less right with each passing day.” Other books the program recommends are The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School, The Passing Playbook, and Out Now: Queer We Go Again!. 

In a virtual classroom visit to middle schoolers, author Mark Oshiro read from his book, The Insiders, a story about a boy who hides in the closet, only to find out he is not alone. Oshiro introduced himself to the class as a “trans-racial adoptee” and briefly talked about his homophobic, religious parents. He also spoke about the upcoming Percy Jackson book, which he co-authored.  “On a scale of 1-10, how gay is your Percy Jackson book,” one student asked. “Seven hundred,” Oshiro exclaimed. 

Although less than half of all 3rd through 8th graders in New York City were proficient in reading in 2019, Melissa Jacobs, Director of Library Services for the NYC DOE, admitted she fought to keep this program alive during the pandemic. In 2021, New York City quadrupled its investment in the LGBTQ Writers in Schools program, increasing funding from $100,000 to $400,000. This taxpayer-funded program has had school-wide effects. In some cases, the concept of talking openly about pronouns has been introduced to the school culture. In other schools, the administrators have agreed to provide students with gender-inclusive bathrooms. 

For parents looking to opt their kids out of this program, that is not an option. “It’s actually against DOE policy,” Jude Schoenfeld, LGBTQ Community Coordinator, said in a discussion panel. “You cannot opt your student out of LGBTQ lessons or curriculum.” 

The New York City Department of Education did not respond to Libs of TikTok’s request for comment. 

Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove, California held a multicultural assembly on Friday, March 3, in which teens performed a school-sanctioned youth drag performance. The performance featured the high school's LGBTQ+ group dancing provocatively in drag-inspired outfits. 

The assembly took place during school hours and was mandatory for all students to attend. One student felt so uncomfortable, he had no choice but to put his head down. When his mother told him to leave, he said he was not allowed to. 

The first drag performer states that the performance is a “protest” for “[drag] queens and transgender youth.” They then go on to slam a slew of red states for “targeting” transgender youth, “Our performance is for our community in Oklahoma, Idaho, Florida, Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kansas, Alabama, and Tennessee, who are actively being targeted.”

Many parents were outraged that they were not notified about the drag performance in advance. In an email sent out prior to the event, the school made no indication there would be a drag performance during the assembly. This differed from previous years, in which parents were made aware of all of the groups performing ahead of time. 

Pleasant Grove High School is no stranger when it comes to grooming teenagers. The District’s website offers a “Gender Support Plan” to students as a way to “create shared understandings about the ways in which the student’s authentic gender will be accounted for and supported at school.” Students are also encouraged to use facilities consistent with their gender identity, without respect to the gender listed on their records. 

The school library contains many books consistent with the school’s extreme agenda.  Queer : The ultimate LGBTQ guide for teens, proclaims to take  “LGBT teens on an awesome and enlightening journey… of queer life… with advice on coming out… and having sex.” Students can also take out Flamer, a book that contains sexually explicit and pornographic content. Drag Teen, also found in the school library, details the story of a high school senior who competes in a drag teen competition.

In response to the backlash received from the drag performance, The Elk Grove Unified School District put out a statement, doubling down on it. “The show included only Elk Grove Unified students and was held in full compliance with student codes of conduct and existing requirements for on-campus events,” it read. “All performances at the multicultural assembly were approved by school staff and administration with the support of EGUSD Secondary Education.

The school’s blatant disregard for the concern of students and parents highlights exactly why our work is so important. Every student deserves to feel comfortable, safe, and protected. We will continue to expose schools like Pleasant Grove High School for their attempt at grooming and sexualizing students.

Parents of Copley-Fairlawn Middle Schoolers were alarmed to find out their children were set to be taught about gender identity as part of their fifth-grade health curriculum.

In a letter sent to parents, Ms. O'Donnell, a health teacher at Copley-Fairlawn Middle School, introduced the puberty education that fifth graders would receive. She wrote that the lessons would cover the physical and emotional changes that can be expected during puberty and would be taught in a way that was “age-appropriate, scientifically accurate, and non-judgmental.” 

But the lessons did not appear to be age appropriate or scientifically accurate at all.

Students were expected to learn “the difference between sex assigned at birth and gender identity and expression.” They would also be taught about “internal and external reproductive body parts using medically accurate terms in a gender-neutral way.” 

The Copley-Fairlawn City Schools contracts with Akron Children's School Hospital. Akron Children's School Health Services provides school nurses and medical assistants to all schools in the district. This is the same hospital system that Libs of TikTok previously exposed for having a ‘Gender Affirming Center’ which offers puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to kids as young as seven years old. Now this hospital is working with schools to inject gender ideology into the curriculum.

Last week, Libs of TikTok obtained a copy of the letter from a concerned parent and contacted the school for comment. The superintendent, Brian Poe, responded that a meeting had been held between the principal and Ms. O’Donnell. He assured us that an updated letter would go out to parents that afternoon, modifying the puberty lesson.

Principal Aaron Walker then sent an email to parents acknowledging that the original letter describing the lesson did not meet Ohio’s standards and confirmed that the school would not be teaching about gender identity.

Superintendent Poe reassured us that the school will not teach fifth graders about gender identity, gender expression, or that sex is “assigned” at birth.

Libs of TikTok is proud to have played a role in implementing the curriculum change at Copley-Fairlawn Middle School and will continue to use our platform to help parents hold educators accountable in schools across America. Gender ideology has no place in our schools and we will fight every day to expose it.

The 1920’s called, they want their domestic policy back. 

Parkrose Middle School in Portland, Oregon is promoting segregation amongst its families. In an email sent to parents, the school invited black families to join what they are calling a “Black Family Social” event. The event took place on February 23, and advertised free soul food, haircuts, dance, raffles, and more. 

The event appears to be an annual occurrence, dating back as early as 2017. Black families are encouraged to join as a “culture to network together” and learn about supporting African American students. There is no recommendation for families of other racial backgrounds to participate. 

Some parents pushed back against the event, as they believe it causes unnecessary division within the diverse Parkrose community. “It's hard enough as it is to meet and make friends,” one parent told us, “ especially if you can't or don't engage in after-school programs. Parties and events tend to intrigue my kids and they almost always want to go. But not being allowed to go, merely based on the color of their skin, breaks my heart.” 

Parkrose Middle School seems to have a history of encouraging divisiveness. The school library contains a few “anti-racist” books, such as Stamped and Me and White Supremacy. Stamped, co-authored by radical leftist Imbram X. Kendi, details the history of “racist and anti-racist ideas in America.” It also contains chapters on how Donald Trump and the Founding Fathers are racist. Me and White Supremacy promises to take the readers on a step-by-step journey to do the work of “understanding their white privilege and participation in white supremacy.” 

In previous years, Parkrose Middle Schoolers had a door decorating contest to celebrate Black History Month. Students decorated the halls with an array of Black Lives Matter slogans and symbols. Principal Annette Sweeney documented her support on social media, tweeting, “I’m so impressed by our students!  They did an incredible job with our Black History Month door decorating contest!” She also encouraged students to celebrate “Black History Spirit Week” by dressing up in the colors yellow, green and red. 

In 2021, the Parkrose school district tweeted its support for the “We Walk: Black Walking Initiative.” The walking program was created to highlight the need for Black people to feel safe walking in public and help them “reclaim their space.” Participants were encouraged to walk throughout the Portland area during the month of February and share their experiences via social media. 

The Parkrose school district has a diverse student body, with a majority of its students being part of minority communities. For a district with such racial and cultural diversity, it would benefit the schools to unite their students by highlighting what makes them similar, rather than separating them by their differences. Families across racial backgrounds should be able to participate in school events and benefit equally from the resources the school has to offer.

On Friday, Libs of TikTok received an email from Slack, the messaging platform we use for our journalism and business, notifying us that we had been terminated from their service. Slack claimed Libs of TikTok’s termination was for “violations of the Acceptable Use Policy.”

After seeing Seth Dillon’s tweet about the termination, Salesforce, who owns Slack, said they were “looking into” our termination. However, Salesforce quickly deleted their response.

After I tweeted that @SlackHQ had suspended Libs of TikTok, I got a reply from @asksalesforce saying they were looking into it. Sounded like they might do the right thing. But instead of reinstating the account, they deleted this tweet.

Slack has refused to give Libs of TikTok an answer as to how we violated their Acceptable Use Policy. They claim that “If a violation of the policy is deliberate, repeated or presents a credible risk of harm to other users, our customers, the Services or any third parties, we may suspend or terminate your access.” If we had to guess the policy violation, it would be the one everybody tries getting us with: “activity that incites or encourages violence or hatred against individuals or groups.”

I believe the truth of our termination will come to light, just like it did with Twitter. Twitter suspended Libs of TikTok over and over again for “violating” their “hateful conduct policy” despite there never actually being any violations. It took months for the truth to finally come out after Elon Musk released the Twitter files, showing Twitter’s deliberate targeting of Libs of TikTok. Now, those who unjustly censored me and countless others are being forced to testify in front of Congress. The same will ring true for Slack and Salesforce, should they continue down the path of corporate wokiesm and senseless censorship.

Libs of TikTok simply reposts publicly available content, and our investigative journalism is duly covered under the First Amendment. Libs of TikTok is doing the work that journalists stopped doing a long time ago: exposing the truth, especially that which contradicts the mainstream narrative.

Over the last year, Libs of TikTok has focused on protecting the innocence of children by bringing to light the disturbing content and individuals that our children are being deliberately exposed to. We’ve used Slack to coordinate stories exposing hospitals performing gender-affirming surgeries on children, a superintendent who had sexual fantasies about minors, a preschool teacher creating OnlyFans content at school, a teacher giving students an assignment on masturbation, and countless drag events for children as young as 6 years old. Is protecting children a violation of Slack’s policies?

Despite breaking stories to expose those who are a danger to or actively harming children, I can guarantee you Slack has not suspended or terminated a single one of the people or organizations we have reported on. Slack does not actually care about “activity that incites or encourages violence or hatred against individuals or groups,” or Libs of TikTok would still be allowed to operate as our primary goal is to expose those who encourage harm to children.

It’s for this very reason I decided to use my platform to give parents an avenue to broach conversations about grooming with their children with my first children’s book, No More Secrets. As a result of announcing my book I received death threats. The response from the Left speaks volumes about their motivations.

No matter how many platforms they ban or suspend Libs of TikTok from, I will continue to shed light on darkness and hold a mirror to the Left.

Children should know that secrets are dangerous

A few years ago, when I created Libs of TikTok, it was an opportunity to expose the increasing pandemic of the attack on our children’s innocence. After noticing the videos I was finding were getting more frequent and also more aggressive, I decided it was time to do more than expose this darkness. It was time parents had a tool to help protect their children from predators, so I wrote a children’s book designed to do just that.

It’s called No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern. My book is a colorful, modern-day take on the classic, Little Red Riding Hood. It is a fun, beautifully illustrated and age-appropriate story about a sheep named Rose who starts second grade with a new teacher, Mr. Wooly. He suspiciously convinces his students to eat candy and treats everyday at school while telling them to keep it a secret from their parents. Mr. Wooly uses phrases like, “don’t worry about what your parents said,” “you can trust me,” and “my class is a safe space.” These are the very phrases that predators in authority positions use on children. Without a strong foundation of trust in her family, Rose may not have felt that twinge of uncertainty alarming her that something was off.

My hope is this book can help create that foundation of trust in your family and families across the country. That’s why I chose to partner with BRAVE Books whose mission is to help parents instill a love of truth and strong morality in their children so that they can withstand harmful progressive influences like the ones I expose on Libs of TikTok. As children surpass their toddler years, they begin launching into various social situations in which they no longer have their parents present. Whether it’s at school, sports practice, or a friend’s house, children reach the age where they must make decisions and discern on their own. That is why parents must instill strong morals and values in their children before they get launched into the real world.

My book teaches children to always trust their parents as the authority even when other adults try to tell them otherwise. Every parent should have this conversation with their children and this book will help families do that. I’m not stopping at every home, though. This book should be in every home and school across the country. After revealing my identity on national television, I’m ready to mobilize and work to put the big, bad wolves on the run!

Protect the innocence of the children in your life by getting my new book No More Secrets. Together we can stop the secrets and start the conversation.
