The non-profit organization Don’t Mess With Our Kids organized rallies at state capitols nationwide on April 13. The organization aims to highlight the importance of religion and protecting children.
In Austin, Texas, around 1,500 individuals attended, dressed in either pink or blue based on their gender. This gathering focused on fasting and praying for the country’s current situation rather than being a political event. Founded in 2021 by Jenny Donnelly from Portland, Oregon, this American organization was inspired by events in her hometown.
The roots of the movement can be traced back to South America in 2016, where significant changes in gender policies were being pushed.
Con mis hijos no te metas (CMHNTM, in English: ‘Don’t Mess With My Children’) is a social movement that originated in Lima, Peru, on Dec. 26, 2016, in response to the gender policies in the Peruvian government’s education system and other public sectors as part of the 2017 national curriculum.
These gender policies were initially influenced by the United Nations and UNESCO. In 1990, the United Nations introduced the “Education for All” initiative to set global education standards, with UNESCO leading six specific goals, including gender equality in education by 2015.
Who Is Promoting Gender Ideology?
The United Nations, through UNESCO, has been a prominent advocate for changing national curricula to promote gender equality. UNESCO convened an international meeting in 2011 in Paris to address homophobic bullying in educational institutions, interpreting the EFA goal regarding equal access to education to include “LGBT” students.
This led to UNESCO’s report “Out in the Open,” supported by the Netherlands government with almost $400,000 in funding, promoting inclusive curricula against homophobic and transphobic violence. The UN has been accused of using bullying as a pretext to normalize homosexuality among children.
In Peru, the UN praised President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s government for steps towards gender equality. However, these steps were seen as controversial by groups like “Don’t Mess With My Children,” leading to conflicts over the national curriculum.
Other organizations, such as Planned Parenthood, also played a role in promoting UN agendas in South America. Peru faced pressure to adopt a therapeutic abortion protocol in 2014 due to these influences.
Don’t Mess With Our Kids groups have expanded across the Americas as more individuals express concerns about the impact of these policies on society. Many believe these policies infringe on their freedom of religious belief, a constitutionally protected right in the US.
