Today we’re going to share some of the best and worst moments from the Virginia General Assembly Session. The highlights, the lowlights, and some moments that didn't get reported.
Even in the midst of the Ukraine war and unprecedented inflation, the Biden administration took time to publicly attack a Florida parental rights bill as quote “horrific.” And we see similar kinds of smear tactics being used against parental rights right here in Virginia’s Hanover County. What can parents do about it?
The parent revolution that began here in Virginia is continuing across the country--even in Blue State power centers like San Francisco, where we saw headlines about school board members losing their seats after ignoring parents one too many times. But what happens when one of the parental rights revolutionaries joins the local school board? We’re going to find out today.
From truck protests in Canada to churches and schools being shut down in Virginia - who would have ever predicted that a pandemic would lead to worldwide struggles over our most basic liberties? What can we learn from this cultural moment about constitutional government?
The budget battle wages on in the General Assembly. Will our taxes be lowered? And what about that surplus - will we see a refund?
Bills continue to barrel through the legislature dealing with parental authority and school choice. Students will no longer have to mask up at schools, but will homeschool students be permitted to try out for public school sports? Find out about that and more on this week's episode.
Plus, did that legislator just say what he just said? Inconceivable!
Things are happening and fast and furiously at the State Capitol—where there have been heated debates over whether students can be forced to wear masks or if parents have the right to review sexually explicit assignments, as well debate over pro-life and marriage issues. Where do things stand now, and where do we expect them to land?
Plus, a legislator with a pot shop on High Street?! Inconceivable!
It seems like every day we hear new examples of outrageous violations of parental rights from kids being handed obscene books, educators encouraging children to experiment with their gender identity; to military kids being targeted as "privileged." Why does this keep happening, and what can we do about it?
The first few weeks of Governor Younkin’s leadership have been anything but dull—we’ve had new battles over everything from parental rights, to mask wars, to critical race theory crack downs. Plus, some key legislation on religious freedom is quickly moving through the General Assembly.

Governor Youngkin has announced his appointments like the secretary of education and health and human services. But what do these appointments mean for the values Christians care about—like defending the unborn and parental rights? How will his cabinet lead the Commonwealth on these important issues and more?
Today's Inconceivable Moment's award features a homeschool mom's grammar lesson courtesy for the Arlington Educators Association.
When her son faced explicit reading material in class, Laura Murphy took action. After being ignored by the school system, Laura took the issue to the General Assembly, where a bill for parental notification was passed TWICE only to be vetoed by the Governor at the time. Today, Candi talks with Laura to hear her story and encourage other moms and dads to Speak Up! for their child.
We’re going to engage in a bit of time travel today—with a flashback into what to led to the surprising wins for pro-family conservatives in the Virginia election.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy the sounds of our Christmastime fire, and hear a special Christmas Blessing.
Even as Virginia parents continue to be frustrated by school districts ignoring their concerns about sexually explicit content, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case that could expand education alternatives for parents. Will this help empower more parents right here in the Commonwealth?
Fifty years ago, there was no way of seeing a baby in the womb, but now we have color and 4D ultrasounds! Technology has made it impossible to ignore the full humanity of pre-born babies. We're going to talk about that in relation to the recent hearing of the Supreme Court Case Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

We’re gonna talk about some of the most outrageous of those ads today, including one that went viral and what all of this says about our culture.
The Virginia Governor’s race is under the national spotlight as media outlets look to it as a predictor for upcoming federal races. But what are the issues that are important to families right here in the Commonwealth? And how will this race affect them?
We keep hearing about national leaders trying to make a case that parents speaking up at school board meetings are the equivalent of domestic terrorists. Today we’re going to take a deeper look at what what lies beneath that trend when it comes to the erosion of parental authority in the US and our own state.
Just like Alice in Wonderland on the other side of the looking glass, lately it just feels like we’ve been transported into a topsy turvy world where everything is the exact reverse of what it should be. We’ve seen parents speaking up at school board meetings treated like domestic terrorists. And health care providers once considered heroes on the frontlines in the battle against COVID—now being criticized and even fired. We’re going to tackle these tough topics and more on today’s show.
Parent protests over pornographic books in the school libraries makes it into the Governor’s debate. Meanwhile, the gambling industry is blitzing our highways with billboards trying to convince us a casino is going to help the southside. But is any of this going to help our families?
The U.S. Supreme Court announced it will hear arguments on the biggest pro-life case in decades on Dec. 1. Meanwhile, the Texas pro-life legislation is still making waves nationwide prompting our own attorney general here in Virginia to join a fight against it. What does all this mean for the Commonwealth?
