Colorado mom Erin Lee (L)joins Stinchfield Tonight on Real America’s Voice/Image: Video screenshot.In 2023, Colorado parents sued Poudre School District after discovering sixth-graders were being recruited to a secret after-school “art” club that turned out to be a gender and sexuality awareness club.In Lee v. Poudre School District R-1, two families, Jonathan and Erin Lee, and Nicolas and Linnaea Jurich, sued the district, alleging it groomed their daughters into the LGBTQ cult through secretive Gender and Sexualities Alliance (GSA) meetings.The lawsuit was dismissed, and on April 22, 2025, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that dismissal.When the lawsuit was initially filed, Lee told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner,”The art teacher had invited in an outside presenter into the classroom that day, and this woman did absolutely unthinkable things with the kids.”The presenter also told students they could describe themselves as “queer” if they had not yet figured out their sexuality.“She talked to them about polyamory. She told them that these new labels that they had just adopted made them more likely to commit suicide and talked to them extensively about suicide,” she continued.The presenter also allegedly discussed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, warning those in attendance that their parents may not be “safe” people to turn to as they struggle with certain identities.“She [the speaker] runs an organization called ‘Skittles’ for kids five to eleven to discuss gender and sexuality,” Lee said, noting that her daughter’s art teacher pulled her aside and told her “you don’t have to tell your parents.”Lee joined Grant Stinchfield on Real America’s Voice to share her family’s journey.Grant Stinchfield: Erin, it’s a pleasure and thank you for the fight that you’re putting up. I’ve been watching you now over the last few days and I apologize, not longer than that, but man, oh man, you are fighting for children in Colorado and beyond. Can you tell me briefly the story of your daughter, what happened and why that sparked such a fight in you, Erin?Erin Lee: Yeah, it’s been almost 5 years now that my daughter had just turned 12 and was lured into this secret gender and sexuality club disguised as an art club where an outside organization called ‘Skittles’ told her, if you’re not comfortable if you’re uncomfortable in your body, that means you’re transgender.And if you don’t know who you’re attracted to, that means you’re queer.And they glitter bombed her with toys and celebration, taught her explicit concepts like polyamory, and it can— like, told her over and over, do not tell your parents about this meeting. So repeatedly emphasize, your parents might not be safe, you don’t have to tell them.And when she came home and told us, we were vilified. So the school district actually sent in a mandated reporter for a well-child check on our family because we weren’t instantly affirming of her trans identity that they put on her in this secret meeting we weren’t even supposed to know about.Grant Stinchfield: So it’s stunning to me because you would think common sense tells you that any changes in a child you would want to have discussed with the parents. I don’t know if your child was showing any changes or not, but it was the exact opposite that happened. They tried to do something without your knowledge, and then vilified you for it all. What is the outcome of all this? I know your case had gone to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court refused to take it up, so you really have not had any justice with this yet?Erin Lee: Yeah, and our daughter wasn’t showing signs. She was just a normal girl in the midst of COVID starting puberty, of course she was uncomfortable in her 12-year-old body, and they just completely took advantage of her vulnerability.And so we did— we— when we went public, there were so many other families that came forward that there are multiple families on our lawsuit that Pam Bondi took and went all the way to the Supreme Court. They didn’t take it up, but I want to believe that we put a crack in the dam for the families behind us.There are two other cases that sit before SCOTUS from Massachusetts and Florida, very similar nature, secret school transitions. And so they did— three justices led by Alito put out a decision that they didn’t take the case, but they recognized this was troubling and tragic and that it had to be addressed by the lower courts, that this was an issue being dodged and of great national importance. So this, unfortunately, is such a ubiquitous issue. What happened to my family is not uncommon. It’s almost like it’s the rule, not the exception, that parents are left in the dark, our kids are being sexually sexualized.And if they show any signs of being uncomfortable in their body, then they’re automatically labeled as transgender, and we’re left out of the equation. So we have not had justice for our school district.Grant Stinchfield: You mentioned Justice Alito and his writings here. Let me put that up on the screen. Cut 7. He says, quote, “I remain concerned that some federal courts are tempted to avoid confronting a particularly contentious constitutional question: whether a school district violates parents’ fundamental rights when, without parental knowledge or consent, it encourages a student to transition to a new gender or assist in that process.”He goes on to say, “The troubling and tragic allegations in this case underscore the great and growing national importance of the question that these parent petitioners present.”Now, he says he remains concerned. Concerned is an understatement, Erin, because if you are correct that— and I believe you are, by the way— that this is going on still in states across this country, something has to be done to protect these children, Erin.Erin Lee: Yes. And these are our fundamental rights. I’m glad they addressed it that way. Yes, they’re constitutionally protected. I believe our Founding Fathers are rolling in their grave at the thought that this would even need to be explicitly written into the Constitution, that parents parent their children, not the government.But that’s what’s happening on so many levels: parents are being left in the dark, the government thinks they know what’s best for our kids, and if we’re not willing to go along with it, we’re the enemy.In fact, there are over a dozen families here in Colorado, mostly dads, who have lost custody of their kids for not being willing to go by the transgender identity, who either lost full or partial custody of their children because they’re not willing to do what the government has done in secret with their kids. So I know it’s happening everywhere, and it’s happened in red and blue states alike.Grant Stinchfield: You know, it’s such a shame because Colorado is such a great state, but they’ve gone off the deep end. No offense to you living there, but, you know, Real Americans Voice, our headquarters are in Denver. Colorado’s gone off the deep end, and it is such a shame that this is going on.Last question real quick. Did anything happen to the teacher that tried to do this, that literally, I would say, tried to mentally kidnap your child?Erin Lee: The teacher was celebrated and promoted.I found through public record requests where they apologized to her for me going public that she had to suffer that kind of attention.She’s now still in charge of this club five years later, and she’s also in charge of the student council overnights that happen at the facility where she’s alone with middle school children.So she has been celebrated. The school district has doubled down on transitioning kids and lying to parents as young as 8. I found evidence of them transitioning an 8-year-old after parents objected. Encourage people to look into Laurel Elementary School. So it’s still common practice, and they celebrate the teachers who are doing it.Grant Stinchfield: And your daughter’s doing great.Erin Lee: She’s doing great. It’s been 5 years. Yep. She’s one of the lucky ones that came out on the other side.Watch:MOM SPEAKS OUT AFTER DAUGHTER WAS TARGETED BY SECRET SCHOOL LGBTQ CLUB“My daughter had just turned 12 and was lured into this secret gender and sexuality club disguised as an art club where an outside organization called Skittles told her if you’re not comfortable in your body,… pic.twitter.com/Vcmlnju4O0— Real America’s Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) March 16, 2026The Lee family made a documentary about their experience called Art Club, which can be seen below.The post Mother Speaks Out About Daughter’s Targeting by School’s Secret LGBTQ Club (Video) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
