And that's how I kind of started really diving in and making these requests.

Yeah, well, I had initially done a bunch of requests in 2024.

The one request from... I did them to this group in Ohio and also to the University of Connecticut.

So two of the researchers that were pushing this and were actually chosen to lead, help lead this Biden-Soji Institute were located at the University of Connecticut, which is subject to public records because it's a public university.

Some of those requests took like, I mean, eight months to get back.

And unfortunately, unless you're working with a state that has...

Every state has its own public record rules.

And so depending upon those rules really depends on whether or not you have any agency to demand that they give them to you in some sort of reasonable timeline.

But then, I mean, how the FOIA process, at least for me, works is that it's like when you get one of these documents, it's like getting a puzzle piece.

of a puzzle, but you don't know what the picture is.

You just have enough information to maybe guess what the next piece might be.

And so after really two years of getting these records back from the University of Connecticut, I had noticed there was an email address of someone working with this group who is located at the University of Washington.

So I sent them a FOIA, and that's ultimately how I obtained the 78-page document that really detailed this plan that Biden administration had to make gender ideology the standard in child welfare services across the country.

So SOGI is Sexual Orientation Gender Identity Expression.

It's a lot of terms.

Basically, it's really affirming gender ideology, which is the belief ultimately that you are not wholly male or female, that you could be a man or a woman based on your feelings.

And so this 78-page memo document was basically the project work plan of a grant.

So kind of going back a little bit, in June 2022, the Biden administration had an executive order which specifically called for child welfare services to be affirming of LGBTQ foster care youths.

It's a little hard sometimes to discuss this stuff without using some of their terms, which I don't like to do, but it's just such a mess linguistically.

Yeah, air quotes.
