Christian families in WA state are free to serve as foster parents
To settle a lawsuit brought by a Washington state couple, state officials agreed to a permanent injunction allowing Christian families to serve as foster parents without promoting so-called “gender ideology,” reports Alliance Defending Freedom.
Washington’s Department of Children, Youth, and Families has agreed to settle a lawsuit over its policies excluding religious families.
The state had enacted a new policy requiring all families to use a child’s chosen pronouns, don’t you know. The state then declined to issue Shane and Jennifer DeGross a full license under this policy because of the couple’s Christian objections to socially “transitioning” children that may be placed in their care, between the ages of 2 and 18.
Jennifer DeGross said this on Fox News.
JENNIFER DEGROSS: “In 2022, we were going through our relicensing process and realized that the state had updated some of their rules regarding foster parents. One of those rules was requiring us to adhere to their ideology regarding gender identity and while we said that we would love and care for any child in our home, those were requirements we just could not abide by as Christians.”
In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, “Surely, you have read in the Scriptures: When God made the world, ‘He made them male and female.”
Johannes Delphonse, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “Washington’s policy failed to respect religious diversity because it singled out applicants with traditional religious beliefs on the sanctity of the human body. The DeGrosses merely asked to be treated the same as any other family—without being asked to compromise their core beliefs.
“This is a win-win because it will ensure more families can serve as foster parents to help meet the needs of every precious child in Washington’s foster-care system.”
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, resigns
Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her post as Director of National Intelligence to support her husband, Abraham, through his battle with “an extremely rare form of bone cancer,” reports Fox News. She said, “I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.”
Gabbard notified President Donald Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office this past Friday. Her last day is expected to be June 30.
In her formal resignation letter, Gabbard says she is “deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half.”
During her tenure, Gabbard became one of the most controversial and transformative intelligence leaders in recent memory. She spearheaded efforts to reduce the size of the intelligence community bureaucracy, dismantle diversity and equity programs inside federal intelligence agencies, and declassify hundreds of thousands of pages of government records tied to major historical and political investigations.
Among the most significant disclosures were records connected to the Trump-Russia investigation, the JFK and RFK assassinations, and the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane probe.
MS NOW panel claims SC blacks to be ‘disenfranchised’ by GOP
And finally, MS NOW host Chris Jansing presided over a discussion of GOP efforts to redraw South Carolina’s congressional districts in which her Democrat guests claimed that blacks are being “disenfranchised” in South Carolina, reports Newsbusters.org.
She offered this melodramatic introduction in her interview with South Carolina State Rep. Kambrell Garvin, a black Democrat.
JANSING: “Today, a dramatic warning about voting rights from one North Carolina state senator who told Politico the entire South is on fire. Jim Clyburn accuses Republicans of creating Jim Crow 2.0. Is he right?”
GARVIN: “Absolutely, Chris. It’s starting to feel more like 1966 and not 2026. So, you’re talking about over a 100-year period where black folks in South Carolina did not get a chance to have a voice, did not get a chance to have a seat at the table. And now we are facing a situation where it might be another 100 years where African Americans will not be able to have a voice.”
Laughably, neither Chris Jansing nor Rep. Garvin remembered to point out that South Carolinians have elected and re-elected Tim Scott, a Republican black man, as one of their two United States Senators.
Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky was equally blind in her condemnation of South Carolinian voters.
ROGINSKY: “You are now about to see complete eradication of black power in Congress. It is precisely because of these kinds of places. White voters will not vote for black representatives. I call it racism, but the reality is the reality, which is that we are going to have many, many, many fewer representatives of color.”
