The Spin

Democratic narrative

This order is pure political theater that perpetuates discrimination against LGBTQ+ families. This hollow gesture builds on harmful 2020 policies funneling taxpayer money to faith-based agencies that reject children based on prejudice. The hypocrisy is staggering from an administration that fought to strip food assistance from vulnerable families during the recent government shutdown.

Republican narrative

This historic order modernizes America's broken system and expands opportunities for vulnerable children. The initiative eliminates discriminatory woke policies that excluded qualified faith-based families from fostering based on their religious beliefs. This groundbreaking reform harnesses technology and public-private partnerships to give every child the loving home they deserve.
