In a chilling revelation, the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services in Ohio has been caught maintaining a “confidential spreadsheet” that delves disturbingly deep into the personal lives of children who interacted with the child welfare system in Cuyahoga County, cataloging their sexual orientations and transgender identities from as young as 5 years old. This invasive practice, part of what they dub their “Safe Identification” program, is less about safety and more about an overreach that’s as outrageous as it is Orwellian.
This operation in Ohio is a peek into a broader, deeply troubling agenda that the left, under the Biden-Harris administration, aims to push nationwide. They lauded the Cuyahoga team as “trailblazers” for a program that is an affront to parental rights and the wellbeing of children. The so-called “Safe Identification” teaches social services staff to pry into and document the sexuality and gender identities of children.
The administration’s push to normalize and even mandate such practices across America through newly finalized rules requiring child welfare systems to support gender confusion is dangerous. It flies in the face of basic parental rights, labeling as “unsafe” and potentially “neglectful” any parent who dares to question affirming every aspect of gender ideology, including providing sex-change drugs to minors or encouraging life-altering surgeries.
One entry from this “Safe Identification” program disturbingly notes a boy labeled as gay because “his peers told him so,” illustrating the reckless disregard for the complexity of child development and the sanctity of family. Nearly half of the children tracked on this spreadsheet live at home with their parents, who are then judged by bureaucrats as “accepting” or “rejecting” based on how fully they embrace their child’s gender confusion—a modern litmus test for whether they are fit parents.
What’s perhaps most alarming about this overreach is how it positions the state as a better judge of a child’s needs than their own family, ready to brand traditional views on gender and sexuality as forms of abuse. This not only undermines the family unit but also chips away at the foundational values of our society under the guise of progressivism.
Americans need to wake up to this encroachment on parental rights and the indoctrination of our youngest members of society. The silent majority in this country knows we need common sense and protection for our kids from the left’s radical ideologies. It’s high time this majority drowns out the vocal minority. If we fail to stand up now, the invasive practices exposed in Ohio could spread nationwide, turning into a disturbing norm where bureaucrats track our children’s sexuality and gender identities.
