Colorado’s HB25-1312: A Dangerous Law Threatening Parental Rights and Free Speech
Colorado’s HB25-1312, now passed into law in May 2025, is an atrocious assault on parental rights, family autonomy, and free speech. Marketed as protecting transgender individuals, it hands the state unchecked power to meddle in private family matters and punish parents who resist ideological indoctrination. We the people must not and will not submit to this overreach. This law, effective August 6, 2025, demands resistance to safeguard our families and freedoms.
HB25-1312 enables schools to push gender ideology, framing normal puberty struggles or nonconformity as signs of a new identity. This isn’t education—it’s indoctrination, exposing young children to concepts they’re too impressionable to fully grasp. Schools should prioritize fundamentals like math and history, not serve as platforms for gender propaganda. The law risks grooming kids into identities they may later regret, potentially leading to irreversible decisions.
Worse, it labels “deadnaming” (using a child’s birth name) and “misgendering” (using biological pronouns) as “coercive control” in custody disputes. Parents who reject a child’s taught identity could lose custody—a chilling form of thought control. Although amended to remove some controversial provisions, the law still defines intentional, persistent deadnaming or misgendering as discriminatory under Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act, threatening free speech.
This law shreds the right to raise children according to personal values, forcing compliance with a state-dictated worldview. It’s government overreach reminiscent of authoritarian regimes, fracturing families under a false banner of care. Coloradans must stand firm, reject this indoctrination, and protect the parent-child bond. We will not bow to bureaucrats steering our kids’ futures.
