Sending kids to school is like throwing them to the wolves.

We can help you protect children from radical LGBTQ indoctrination. Join our Resist Pride: Back to School Edition campaign.

Your son can get suspended for calling his boy classmate "him" instead of his 'preferred pronoun' of "her."
A librarian can give your daughter a book that's so sexually graphic, adults can't read it at school board meetings.
A preschool teacher told a 4-year-old, if you want girl parts and don't have them, you can get them.

This is madness and you know it.

We keep track of the craziness, so you don't have to. And we produce the materials you can use to fight back: interviews, articles, newsletters, podcasts, resource centers, and more on our website, Facebook page, YouTube channel--wherever you need us, we're there at your fingertips.

So give today to protect kids and resist pride. A generous donor will match your gift up to $10,000, so giving now doubles your impact!

There's no time like the present. Donate here.

Attorney Mary Rice Hasson

Attorney Mary Rice Hasson is the Kate O'Beirne Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., where she co-founded and directs the Person and Identity Project, an initiative that equips parents and faith-based institutions to promote the truth about the human person and counter gender ideology.

Mary's organization helps doctors and counselors be compassionate caregivers to those presenting with gender dysphoria while still being faithful to their own conscience.

"Human nature is denied by our culture, and specifically by gender ideology. It's like, if there is no Designer, there is no design. And if there is no Creator, there is no natural order to things. And therefore, we can do what we want," Mary says.

"What science can tell us about the human being is, we know we are male and female. There are only two sexes, and you can't change sex … There's no third sex. There's no spectrum, etc. What actually happens to people when you start living according to this ideology? What are the consequences? Well, we know it causes tremendous harm."

Learn what harm has been done to those who fell for gender ideology by joining our Locals community, or by watching on YouTube, Rumble, or Bitchute.

And please, help us do more interviews like this one by supporting the Ruth Institute's Resist Pride: Back to School campaign here.

When Justice Fails: A Clerical Abuse Survivor's Thoughts on the Dismissal of Theodore McCarrick's Criminal Charges

by Faith Hakesley at "Advice from a Survivor"

Sometimes earthly justice fails. In a devastating blow to survivors of clerical abuse, the legal justice system in Massachusetts has dismissed the criminal charges of sexual abuse against former cardinal Theodore McCarrick. Medical professionals agree that he is suffering from dementia and is no longer mentally competent to stand trial.

Sadly, the victims in this case have been failed. The justice due to McCarrick will not be served in this life. For his victims, this must feel like he's being shown mercy. He'll no longer be held accountable for his crimes. Yet, the victims he left in his wake are the ones who suffer a life sentence of living with the consequences of someone else's actions.

How fortunate for the former cleric that he is perhaps able to forget! His victims will never forget.
