FF 523: How DEI Captured School Counseling with Alvin Lui

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Alvin Lui, president of Courage is a Habit, to expose how the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has systematically embedded DEI and gender ideology into K-12 counseling nationwide. We break down their investigative report that reveals how school counselors have transformed from reactive guidance counselors into proactive "social change agents" who work one-on-one with children—often keeping secrets from parents. Alvin explains the dangerous tactics of "language contamination," where terms like "anti-bullying," "mental health," and "safe spaces" are weaponized to push transgender ideology and critical race theory while silencing dissenting students and parents. This isn't just happening in blue states—it's a systemic problem in all 50 states, funded by mental health grants that parents unknowingly support through their tax dollars. Whether your kids are in public school or you know someone whose children are, this conversation is essential viewing. We discuss warning signs, the indoctrination pipeline, and most importantly, what parents can do right now to protect their children. This is about our kids' futures, and it's time to fight back.
