CALIFORNIA DRAGGED SHANA GAVIOLA TO PRISON FOR OPPOSING THE GENDER TRANSITION OF HER SON...

American Principles Project on X: California dragged Shana Gaviola to prison for opposing the gender transition of her son. When Gaviola discovered that her son's public school began secretly transitioning him, she pulled him out and made plans to send him to a Christian boarding school. The Biden DOJ charged her with kidnapping and sought the harshest penalty possible. Gaviola is going to prison for three years. Her son is now an adult and never transitioned. Gaviola's sentence starts next week. Gaviola does not regret what she did and said : “I would not be going to prison if I had done nothing. That’s the part I can’t accept -- the law was safe for the mother who looks away, and unforgiving to the one who didn’t.”
