Center For Morality/Americans For Truth is proud to join this campaign by Linda Harvey, my friend and president of the Ohio-based group Mission America, to pray and work against the activist “LGBTQ History Month” in schools. Decades of homosexual (“gay”), transgender and “queer” propaganda directed at children has endangered and corrupted the most vulnerable Americans and wreaked havoc on our culture. –Peter LaBarbera, CFM/Americans For Truth.

(Columbus, OH, September 10, 2025) Today, a nationwide call went out for prayer and action during the month of October, as many American public schools observe “LGBTQ History Month.”

Mission America, an Ohio-based Christian organization, is leading a coalition asking parents, students and teachers as well as churches to commit to a month of prayer during October as reckless, deceptive events roll out in many schools featuring rainbow radicalism,  obscene library selections,  “drag” queens as special speakers/assemblies, in-class lessons, and more.

The American Family Association and many other groups have joined this effort. A statement from AFA said the following:  “American Family Association supports Mission America’s call to prayer for students in October. We urge believers to ask God to shield children from deceptive LGBTQ+ messages in schools and turn hearts toward His truth about sexuality, marriage, and identity.”

“We implore Almighty God to intervene and protect children at school from systematic sexual corruption they’re often forced to endure during October,” said Linda Harvey, president of Mission America. “Students may be taught that ‘queer’ behaviors and identities have been an admirable part of human history; that they are inborn and unchangeable; and that all objections are hateful bigotry akin to racism. These are reckless and harmful lies that encourage children to embrace gravely sinful conduct.”

Each fall, Mission America publishes the widely-consulted “School Corruption and Propaganda Calendar” to alert parents about the dates when they can expect organized, well-publicized grooming events at some schools and how to prepare their children accordingly.

From lessons training students to become “LGBTQ” activists, to  “Coming Out Day” and “International Pronouns Day,” the entire month of October is often devoted to the worst immoral elements of ‘woke’ indoctrination. And with the move this year of the American Library Association’s “Banned Books Week” from September to October (coordinating with these other events), students are likely to be assaulted with non-stop pro-homosexual, pro-transgender indoctrination.

Parents are encouraged to combine prayer with action in their own communities, requesting school boards to drop these high-risk messages, urging state lawmakers to prohibit reckless school lessons and events, and even participating in peaceful demonstrations.

“We must be on our knees and appeal to the Lord, in the name of Jesus, to change the minds of school boards, administrators, and teachers to end manipulative, often pornographic messages that are poisoning the school climate,” said Harvey. “It’s time to embrace wholesome, uplifting themes of courage and morality instead, and we know that God is fully able to change even the most hardened hearts.”

Here’s a suggested prayer:

“Heavenly Father, we ask You to go before us, to go before our precious children as they attend school in October, and remove these messages of corruption by peaceful and civil means. We know that You care tenderly for each of these young people. Please protect their minds, hearts and spirits from the delusion of accepting homosexuality as normal and safe; of believing that any human should attempt to change Your creation of them as male or female; and of believing that Your Word is deficient. We ask that You would change the minds and hearts of the adults in charge who are attempting to influence children toward depravity and darkness. Create in those in authority respect for the rights of parents and for the freedom of conscience of all families to be able to object to homosexual and transgendered behavior without hateful labels. Open the eyes of teachers and administrators. Bring them to repentance and end this month-long attempt to revise human history, and revive a recognition of the truth instead. In the name of Jesus our Savior we pray, Amen.”
