A Victory for Decency

A Victory for Decency
1:44


The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled on an important case to protect our children from the extremes of the radical LGBTQ philosophy.  

As we have reported, the LGBTQ movement has increasingly used drag queens in recent years as one of its primary methods for indoctrinating children. The explosion of “drag queen story hours” at public libraries and schools has outraged parents nationwide.

Last year, Tennessee legislators took action to prohibit exposing minors to certain types of “adult entertainment,” including drag shows, which often feature overtly sexual language and performances. Governor Bill Lee signed the Adult Entertainment Act into law, which was quickly challenged in the courts by the ACLU. Within months of the enactment of the bill, a federal judge blocked its enforcement. 

The good news is that Tennessee officials appealed that decision and recently won a big victory. A three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the case, saying the plaintiffs’ suit lacked constitutional standing. More importantly, the judges declared, “. . . the law in this area is clear—there is no constitutional interest in exhibiting indecent material to minors.”

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti applauded the decision. “As a state overflowing with world-class artists and musicians, Tennessee respects the right to free expression. But as the Court noted, Tennessee’s ‘harmful to minors’ standard is constitutionally sound and Tennessee can absolutely prohibit the exhibition of obscene material to children.”

JDFI celebrates this important victory, and we applaud Tennessee’s elected officials who stood up in defense of decency.

Inspiration That Could Save America

There is always an October surprise in every election, and we may have just experienced it. More on that later. The presidential campaigns are deploying resources and crafting messages to clarify the choice before us. Former President Donald Trump spent half an hour as a McDonald’s employee, effectively turning it into “Donald’s” as he served Pennsylvania families burgers and fries. At a rally in the same state, steel workers gathered around him and gave him a hard hat, insisting that Trump saved the steel industry. Then Trump showed his support of the American people by attending an NFL game. The stadium erupted in chants of “USA! USA!”

To Be Salt and Light, We Must Be Involved in America's Elections

The polls are shifting again. The race is still a toss-up, but virtually every poll shows former President Donald Trump with the momentum. Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has adopted a new tone. It started with a joy, joy, joy vibe. Now, the emphasis is fear, fear, fear. Harris labels Trump “dangerous.” Her surrogates compare him to Hitler. After two serious assassination attempts on Trump, this rhetoric could inspire more violence. Please pray for the safety of Trump and Harris.

The Dr. James Dobson Family Institute Leads Legal Efforts to Defend Religious Freedom Against the Administration’s Radicalized Sexual Rights Agenda

The Dr. James Dobson Family Institute (JDFI) and an association of Christian employers have filed a lawsuit challenging the Biden-Harris administration’s new regulations that force employers to violate their religiously held convictions regarding the sanctity of human life and human sexuality. JDFI’s complaint is supported by a declaration from PublicSquare, a values-driven commerce ecosystem with over 5 million registered consumers. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, seeks to protect religious freedoms and Christian business practices against government mandates recently imposed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
