On August 16, 2022, a diverse group of advocates united at the ILLINOIS state capitol to defend children and liberty. They are called "homophobic", "racist", "hate group", "nazis", "fascists" by the misinformed and the by woke media purely because they defend children against child mutilation, public school indoctrination, and anti-Americanism.

The district court denied a preliminary injunction, dismissing the girl’s distress as “speculative” and stating that if a female can see another female in the bathroom, seeing a male is no different. The school district’s policy allowing biological males into female bathrooms remains in place heading into the 2026-2027 school year. The federal appeal was filed on August 5, 2026.

Illinois parents await support from the Dept. of Justice on these violations contravening federal Title IX protections of students. 播放影片 播放影片 03:53:54 🚨 LIVE: House Judiciary Grills the SPLC That Tried (Unsuccessfully) To Cancel Us! The SPLC's real mission is to stoke chaos and advance woke supremacy. They wanted to cancel us and our fellow law abiding advocacy friends. Ha! Still standing; uncancellable. The June 8, 2026 hearing, "The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate, Part II" will examine the role that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has played in distorting civil rights policy in recent years. Additionally, the hearing will explore recently released information revealing that the SPLC has funneled money to some extremists, raising questions whether the SPLC has been artificially elevating the domestic extremist threat and misleading its donors.

Ajay is offering pro bono representation to families harmed by these policies.
