In this episode of Escaping the Rainbow Plantation, I sat down with Cain, the founder of Task Force Freedom (check them out at TaskForceFreedomNoCo.com), to unpack one of the most pressing dangers facing our society today. We’re talking about the existential threat of gender ideology and Critical Race Theory (CRT). Not just as abstract political debates, but as deliberate, calculated assaults on the bedrock of American life: our families and our freedoms. Our conversation zeroed in on the front lines of this war. Our public schools. Where the stakes couldn’t be higher. If you’re a parent, an educator, or anyone who values liberty, this is a wake-up call you can’t ignore. Let’s dive in. The Alarming Truth About School Libraries It all starts in the places we trust most: our kids’ schools. Cain kicked off our discussion with a bombshell. Public school libraries are stocking shelves with what he rightly calls “true sickening pornography,” accessible to children from kindergarten all the way through high school. What began as Cain’s mission to combat CRT in education quickly uncovered something far more insidious: books like Gender Queer, loaded with sexually explicit illustrations that, in his expert view, blatantly violate federal law (specifically, US Code Title 18, Section 1466A, which criminalizes depictions of adults with children in obscene contexts). This isn’t hyperbole or partisan sniping. It’s a raw, unfiltered reality. Under the banner of “inclusivity,” schools are handing out material that’s graphic, inappropriate, and downright harmful. Cain’s straightforward fix? Implement “best practices” like requiring parental permission for any book rated above a G-level. Why? Because no parent should have to fight tooth and nail to shield their child from content that crosses every reasonable line. The Direct Attack on the Nuclear Family From there, our talk escalated to the heart-wrenching core of this crisis: how these ideologies, with their Marxist underpinnings, are laser-focused on obliterating Western society by dismantling the family unit. The one institution that stands as its unbreakable foundation. The personal stories we shared were gut-punching. Take Aaron Lee’s daughter, Chloe, who was groomed and socially transitioned through a school art club tied to P-FLAG, resulting in profound emotional scars that no child should endure. Or the dads Cain heard from at school board meetings, voices cracking as they described their daughters’ suicide attempts after being fast-tracked into transitions by school staff. The administrators’ response? Cold, “pure evil,” and utterly emotionless. A betrayal that leaves you questioning how we got here. The playbook is chillingly efficient: Erosion of Trust: Activists and educators systematically paint parents as “unsafe,” turning kids against their own families and fostering secrecy and distance. Rapid Indoctrination: Exploiting children’s innate trust in adults, a kid can be convinced they’re transgender in as little as one hour. It’s predatory precision. Legal Threat: Bills like Colorado’s now-defunct HB 1312 aim to brand non-affirming parents as child abusers, paving the way for state seizures of kids. This isn’t protection. It’s a power grab. My parting shot in this segment? A stark reality check: “If you do not make time to fight for your children at the state capitol... you will have to make time to fight for them in court to get them back from the state.” The clock is ticking, folks. The Call to Action: Fathers and Free Speech We wrapped up not with despair, but with fire. A rallying cry for reclaiming what’s ours and defending the rights that make us free. Fathers, Where Are You? One pattern emerged loud and clear: we’re losing ground at the local level because dads aren’t showing up. Moms are out there in the trenches, facing down waves of misogynistic harassment from activists. But when a father steps into the room? The energy shifts. The bullies scatter. I
