Welcome to the Parents' Rights in Education Podcast with your host, Suzanne Gallagher. Today, we have an inspiring guest, Lisa Chaffee, the Ohio affiliate for Parents' Rights in Education (PRE). Lisa, a dedicated mother and advocate, shares her journey from a concerned parent to a formidable activist in Ohio's education landscape.
In this episode, Lisa discusses her involvement with significant legislative efforts, including House Bill 8, which aims to ensure schools cannot withhold crucial information from parents about their child's health, and House Bill 68, the Safe Act, which seeks to ban puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors. Despite facing challenges, including a veto from Governor DeWine and ongoing legal battles, Lisa remains steadfast in her advocacy.
Lisa's passion for restoring parental rights led her to testify before school boards and the state legislature, overcoming initial fears to become a powerful voice for change. She emphasizes the urgency of her mission, motivated by the desire to protect future generations from losing critical thinking skills and freedoms.
Lisa also highlights her work with immigrant communities in Ohio, helping them navigate educational rights and combatting intimidation. She shares her plans to collaborate with Moms for Liberty to host a summit, equipping parents with the tools to advocate effectively.
