MPA exists to ensure that every parent who wants to get involved in their child's education has every resource they need to do so successfully, and that their engagement is an inspiration to others.

'Teachers’ union expels whistleblower school counselor In a move rarely seen, a local teachers’ union has “expelled” one of its members. Rochester school district student counselor Christina Barton (who voiced concern over transgender and gender-expansive administrative “guidelines” that she was “warned” against making public) recently received a letter from the Rochester Education Association stating she had violated the National Education Association’s (NEA’s) “code of ethics” and was therefore being expelled from the union. The union claimed that Barton “mischaracterized Rochester Public Schools policies and practices regarding LGBTQ+ students, spoke negatively of fellow union members, and spread misinformation about transgender youth” in her Alpha News YouTube interview. “…[W]e find your interview to be in violation of NEA code of ethics Principal 1 (2, 3, 4, 5),” the letter continued. According to the union, Barton violated the following: -The educator “shall not unreasonably deny the student’s access to varying points of view”; -The educator “shall not deliberately suppress or distort subject matter relevant to the student’s progress”; -The educator “shall make reasonable effort to protect the student from conditions harmful to learning or to health and safety”; and -The educator “shall not intentionally expose the student to embarrassment or disparagement.” The union stated it “recognizes” that Barton is “free to hold whatever viewpoints you wish regarding LGBTQ+ students or any other matter, but viewpoints are not free from consequences…”' www.americanexperiment.org/teachers-union-expels-whistleblower-school-counselor/
"The Impact of THC on Our Children: A Parent's Worst Nightmare" "Are you concerned about your teen's THC use (smoking marijuana, vaping, dabbing, or using edibles)? In The Impact of THC on Our Children: A Parent's Worst Nightmare, twenty-five Parents of Children with Cannabis-Induced Psychosis (POCCIP) share their real-life stories of their children's THC use, addiction, mental illness, psychosis, and sometimes, sadly, suicide. This book is published by Johnny's Ambassadors Youth THC Prevention, a nonprofit in Colorado, with a mission to educate parents, teens, and communities about the dangers of today's potent THC products on adolescent brain development, psychosis, and suicide (JohnnysAmbassadors.org). Learn the REAL truth about today's potent THC products and what they are doing to our children's mental health. When THC products are legalized in some states, there is often a misperception they are safe. To the contrary, there is NO safe level of THC in the developing adolescent mind, and these products are not harmless for teens. Get your teen to stop using THC before it's too late." www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3QTV16P
