Google heard the outcry from parents, teachers, and the US Senate, who don’t want Gemini pushed into classrooms. AI causes cognitive offloading, encourages cheating on homework, and enables the possibility of forming human-like relationships with a chatbot. So Google responded: They are going to make Gemini an “opt-in” choice for each school district. Great!

But then they attached a condition: if a school district does NOT turn on Gemini, then the students lose Google search, which is deeply woven into the fabric of education. This is coercion, not choice. Google can and should just restore what we all had before: Google search with no AI chatbot interaction or AI overviews.

Who Needs Wisdom When We Have Algorithms?

We need to return to what truly equips students to become independent citizens who can govern themselves, rather than training them to be compliant, data-managed workplace cogs in a global system. h

The battles over education do not end on Election Day. Parents must continue speaking up, asking difficult questions, and holding leaders accountable. But voting is one important way we help determine who will listen—and who will make decisions affecting our children.

Those children are taught, how schools address bullying and discipline, whether parents are informed and respected, and how public education dollars are spent.

At Truth In Education, we encourage you to research the candidates, examine their records, and ask clear questions about their commitment to academic excellence, parental rights, religious liberty, and safe classrooms. Look beyond campaign promises to the actions that support them.

As Christians, we have a responsibility to pray for our leaders, seek wisdom, and faithfully exercise the opportunities God has given us to serve our neighbors and protect the next generation.

Pray. Get informed. Vote. Then stay involved.

There is still much work to do. Our children need adults willing to show up—at the ballot box and throughout the year.

"Scripture tells us that teaching children belongs in the family's daily life. Faith is passed on through ordinary moments: a conversation at the table, a question answered patiently, a difficult decision explained, a wrong acknowledged, time spent reading r offered together. Our children learn from what we practice as well as what we say."

When a kid types a question and instantly gets an answer, something is lost: the wondering, the frustration, the searching that’s part of getting educated. I talked AI and kids with Kelly Sadler on the Washington Times’ Politically Unstable.

"This covenant...calls us to examine what influences our children, make faithful educational decisions, and build homes where we model prayer and live out our faith in Jesus Christ."

"As litigation for Mirabelli continues, Truth In Education filed an amicus brief to urge the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm the District Court’s original judgment in protecting the First Amendment rights of both parents and teachers, thus serving y the vulnerable children experiencing systemic, intentionally confusing, and emotionally disturbing classroom information regarding gender identity issues."

There is no such thing as a values-neutral education. Every curriculum reflects moral judgments. The question is not whether schools teach values, but whether they are willing to admit it.

Homeschooling moms (& dads) are the real MVPs.

Millions of homeschool kids will become voters over the next decade.

Failure rates double as unprepared students flood campuses

What are children being told about marijuana, and what aren't they being told? I sat down with Anne Schlafly to discuss her new book, "Throwing Children Under the Cannabis," and what parents and grandparents need to know. Watch the full interview youtu.be/Dpwjd6X4vT0

Truth In Education was honored to file an amicus brief supporting parental rights in Mirabelli v. Bonta before the Supreme Court.

New Jersey’s Chatham school district has agreed to abandon its secret gender transition policy after being sued by @ThomasMoreSoc and @Moms4Liberty. Parents' rights matter!
