Not even the home is free from the assault on religious conviction.

Families of faith in Oregon will be denied the chance to foster or adopt children based on their objections to the demands of gender ideology in the absence of judicial intervention. And the Biden administration — which it’s now clear is pathetically subservient to that ideology — has proposed new rules that define “a safe and appropriate” placement for children in need of foster care as one that will “affirm” a child’s gender identity, categorically excluding many religious Americans from fostering children who struggle with gender dysphoria. It’s only a matter of time before these perverse standards are imposed on all parents.
