Service member’s Career at Risk for Speaking at School Board Meeting
Protesting secret LGBTQ “programming” in his children’s elementary school may cost this military member his career and pension.
Gordon* is a highly decorated U.S. military member with eight overseas deployments under his belt. Now his career and his family’s safety are at risk simply because he dared to peacefully speak out against secret LGBTQ programming in his children’s public school.
“I have spent two decades risking my life to defend the Constitution,” Gordon says. “But the moment I tried to exercise my First Amendment rights as a father, they treated me like a criminal.”

LGBTQ activists have a new tactic — getting Christian parents fired from their jobs if they dare protest secret gender-bending indoctrination in their children’s public schools. Last week, I told you how LGBTQ cult members filed anonymous complaints to get a University of Arizona professor fired from his job because he dared speak out against a secret gender-transitioning program at his son’s junior high school.
Now LGBTQ extremists are using the same tactic to punish a highly decorated war hero for daring to object to secret LGBTQ indoctrination at his children’s elementary school.
After returning home from deployment, Gordon noticed his elementary aged children were asking questions about gender and sexuality — topics neither he nor his wife had introduced to the young ones’ innocent minds.
After a bit of digging, Gordon learned that his children’s school hosted a secret LGBTQ club during school hours. Without parental notification or consent, the group was holding events at the school and distributing materials encouraging these small children to adopt alternative identities and pronouns.
Gordon began attending local school board meetings and warning other military and church families that the school was usurping parental rights to secretly force sexual and LGBTQ ideology on their innocent children. He also co-founded a grassroots coalition that pushed for “Parental Notification Resolutions” — formal policies requiring schools to notify parents of any activity, club, or lesson involving gender identity or sexuality.
Gordon was effective. Within two years, his coalition had helped pass resolutions in nine Southern California school districts, affecting over 175,000 students.
No good deed goes unpunished by the unhinged left.
Antifa published Gordon’s home address on social media, as well as photos of his children and even details of his military record. Threats poured in and Gordon was forced to relocate his family and remove his children from school.
Then an anonymous complaint was filed with Gordon’s command accusing him of “political extremism” and “conflict of interest.”
Gordon was placed under formal investigation, stripped of his security clearances, and removed from sensitive operational assignments. Though no criminal or procedural violations were ever substantiated, his case was forwarded to the Separation Board, where he now awaits final determination on forced separation from service and stripping of his honorably earned benefits and pension.
Despite the attacks on his family and career, this soldier will not remain silent.
“They thought they could cancel me because I wore the uniform,” Gordon says. “But I didn’t fight overseas just to surrender at home.”
