Conservatives in the US just can’t stop winning at the moment - age verification for porn sites, parental rights in schools, warning labels on social media, defunding abortionists Planned Parenthood, 3-year anniversary of overturning Roe v Wade, and there’s even significant pushback on the 'same-sex marriage' issue. We speak to our US correspondent.

On this episode of Solid Ground, Simon shares his recent experience of being deplatformed at a New Zealand university. Invited to discuss the Israel-Gaza situation, the invitation was pulled at the last moment, raising questions about just how little open debate there is in universities. He also discusses a recent US Supreme Court ruling that supports parental rights in education and the importance of age-appropriate, values-based education.
