America’s Mom Raises Free Speech and Parental Rights Concerns Following Colorado Court Proceedings
[Dallas, Texas] — [February 18, 2026] — National commentator and America’s Mom host Sherronna Bishop is raising concerns regarding free speech and parental rights following Colorado court proceedings connected to public discussions about a controversial custody-related matter originating in Western Colorado.
The matter gained attention following an interview broadcast on the America’s Mom program featuring parents Heather and Brett Fitzke, which addressed concerns regarding parental rights, youth gender identity issues, and community responses to those issues.
Following the broadcast, public criticism of Bishop and her program was issued online by Ashley Stahl, a transgender and activist who has publicly discussed advocacy efforts supporting transgender youth in local communities and appeared in national media conversations concerning gender transition and youth support.
Subsequently, court actions were filed in Garfield County, CO under Judge Amy Roth seeking restraining orders against Bishop that limit her ability to publicly discuss aspects of the situation.
Bishop asserts that the orders restrict commentary concerning matters she believes are of legitimate public concern, particularly regarding circumstances in which custody of a minor was altered through emergency legal proceedings initiated by private parties rather than through what Bishop describes as the more typical involvement of law enforcement or child protective authorities.
“To have your child taken by total strangers because you are a Christian and will not agree to the trans-gendering of your child is hard enough” said Bishop, “To be told by the court you cannot talk about it publicly is an outrage and unconstitutional.”
Court filings indicate an emergency protective order was requested based on sworn testimony presented to the court, not an actual investigation, which led to the Fitzke’s losing parental rights. Bishop and her supporters argue that the events have raised public questions regarding due process, jurisdiction, and parental rights protections.
“This situation has sparked legitimate public concern about how parental rights, emergency court authority, and youth advocacy intersect,” Bishop said. “The inability to openly discuss and have an opinion on a court action and those who initiated that action suppresses our first amendment protections. The fact that this case has resulted in a parent losing custody of their child, absent publicly known findings of abuse or neglect, should concern every Colorado parent.”
Bishop also notes that jurisdictional questions are under discussion, as she resides in Texas and comments publicly as a media commentator on matters involving individuals who have engaged in public advocacy and media appearances nationally.
Supporters argue that when individuals voluntarily enter public debate and advocacy roles, discussion of those issues becomes part of protected public discourse.
America’s Mom Media emphasizes that it does not support harassment or threats directed toward any party involved and encourages respectful public dialogue while advocating transparency in matters affecting families and parental rights.
“Families across America deserve transparency and the ability to discuss public policy decisions affecting children and parents,” Bishop added. “Open discussion is essential in a free society without the fear of judicial weaponization.”

The groomers are not going away quietly.
The people of Colorado need to stand up to the pols of CO and demand a change otherwise the state will be CA Light. What is wrong with parents, can't they see what is happening?
As I found out living in New Mexico, the stupidity from the Left coast sloshes up against the Continental Divide and creates a powerful undertow.
John Denver's fault for singing the hippies into the state in the early 70s.
I weep for what has happened to CO everyday. It used to be red as red and affordable outside of Boulder.
If you had real elections, instead of the cheat machines, you would see that the state is still very red!
Check out Untamed on rumble.
I agree completely. It’s been Californicated in the sense that the system is locking it all down for blue like they have there.
This is how the politicians in Colorado treat their elderly, so this woman expects to be treated with respect and dignity by her Sec. of State and Governor, a total laugh.
Strange. Here in America, our courts say traitor Kelly can try to undermine our military, but Christian families are silenced when it comes to defending their children?
America much needs a deep cleaning of our corrupt courts.
And politicians.
We need a national entity that helps parents with protecting parental rights. There are too many instances where minor children were removed by 'so called experts' absent from abuse or neglect.
You get the idea that all court proceedings are geared toward a goal: to bypass parental rights and allow transgender craziness,…we the parents are the ones that know that transgenderism is demonic oppression; since the gov. has no official religion it does not know.
Why Democrats insist in pushing the diabolical transgender idiocy?
Because they are financed by the European globalists who are bet on world power and the destruction of Christianity!
If people can somehow get rid of the corruption in CO's election system (same goes for CA, WA, OR, etc.), then this will turn around real quick.
Here is the rule. Mess with my kids you die. Period, end of discussion.
This is universal throughout the animal kingdom, so dont say you were not warned or aware.
I live in Southern Colorado and the lunacy grows…Denver/Boulder controls a basically red state..We have HAD it with these ***Holes in Denver taking away parental rights, free speech and GUN (gun laws are insane here) I retire in two years and I an GONE baby!
Can't take illegal aliens out of the country without a trial and every liberal judge in America signing off on it, but you can steal Christians children based on a complaint from a pervert.
Ashley would have a real string of bad luck I'll tell you if it was my family
Never heard of this lady. She calls herself "America's Mom?"
I've heard of her. She is a patriotic American mom.
More "judicial" overreach.
some wierdo tranny is going to try and silence people’s free speach. I don’t think so. 99.9% of them just want to diddle your kids and force you to comply with it.
They Can't/Won't have children of their own, so they are coming after YOURS.
Colorado is demonic
How have we come to this?
All the Californians who fled to Colorado jumped from a sh*thole into the septic tank…
Open discussion and dialogue are something the left can not tolerate. They loose every time. Activist judges that routinely stifle free speech are a constitutional problem.
And need to be removed from the bench for cause!
People who are morally bankrupt dictating to parents that have a clear standard of Christian morality and the court goes against the moral standards with no basis for their own standards or lack of.
The Epstein files show that Epstein helped start the transgender movement.
Prostitution may soon be legal in Colorado. They want to ban you from ordering gun barrels online, too. If it involves losing your rights to immorality the left-wingers are the real Kings at this. Colorado is a dumpster fire.
When a state governor, Polis, hangs with a bunch of trans; what else should one expect? Prayers for Victor Marx as governor in next election.
How does a Colorodo judge have jurisdiction over someone in another state who is not a party to the court proceeding to prevent them from commenting about a case? Talk about judicial tyranny and over reach
Bishop lives in another state. She is not a party to the Colorodo proceeding. If she speaks about the case how is this rogue in robes kangaroo court judge going to enforce a gag order on a non resident?
Colorado has one foot in the Communist realm already. A political prisoner Tina Peters is a good example. The governor and their judicial there and others that surround him are displaying Communist tendencies. I would be moving if I lived there.
I wonder if there are LGBTQ+ animals? No, I don't think my GOD even thought of such things.
Try to realize just how ow man/woman kind has digressed in their thinking over the last 10,,000 years.
Colorado seems to be making up laws as it goes along just to suit it's politician's obvious agendas.
my home is becoming …. unAmerican… sadly watching…
No it's not !! It already HAS BECOME a communist unAmerican S–thole.
.
Colorado is no longer America, like NY and others…
Something will eventually self-correct…
.
The whole West and East coast! We in the middle are surrounded!
.
Yeah, they have nowhere to go during the Civil War.
.
We The People and the U.S. military. There's the correction.
.
Agreed, it will have to be recovered during the Civil War…

100% Bolshevik Controlled: Polis – Governor, Weiser – Attorney General, Griswold – Sec. of State

It’s really not an AOC like goof to poke fun at. It’s THEM coming at every facet and function of civilization to own, control & eliminate at their will. Men like him have been literally screaming about it for decades, and it’s all coming to a head via the data centers and a sold out congress on the verge of passing legislation to legalize the take over of the planet via the United States for them. I seriously hope that disturbs you.
I lived there for 45 years. I never thought I would leave. In September, 2021 I left. I have no interest in ever going back.
I could see what was coming. I did take steps to try to stop some of it. I actually witnessed some corruption firsthand.
I am glad I left. It only has gone more extreme in the direction it was headed.
I used to refer to it as a Vassal State to California. The wrong people must have listened because instead of copying California which was the norm before I moved they started often being the one to lead the charge towards insanity…
I left in '97, after Babs and the gay mafia took over the I-25 corridor.
The shift gained momentum and snowballed once marijuana was legalized. Left in 2018.
The Cheech and Chong type pot head is the minority and a stereotype … trust me more blue-collar working class people smoke weed
That explains a lot…
Not so sure about that. I lived in Fort Collins from 2007 to 2018. Went from feeling very safe walking anywhere downtown at anytime, to have to cross the street to avoid the vagrants panhandling and/or sleeping on the grass in front of county and city building. Just about every where downtown actually.
Many attribute the change to pot, I attribute it to mail in ballots.
DOJ CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION HARMEET DHILLON Assistant AG for Civil Rights Division
CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION MUST STEP IN WHEN CASES BLATENTLY TAKE THOSE RIGHTS AWAY
It’s that department responsibility not the AG responsibility
It's both, AG and DJ, add We the People to it.
of course, but somebody has to direct them to do their job.
So you idiots like having your boss stand over you telling you how to do your job
40 organizations and Bondi has to oversees all of their operations. see the problem. 115,000 employees and Bondi has to watch over every little thing they do in a 12 hour period. When it’s the assistant AG job to oversee their own employee then report to the deputy AG who then reports to the AG .
“so you idiots” Are you drunk posting. I don’t work for them. Punished for trying to answer informatively??
Good bye.
I don't know what has happened to Jessica lately. She's jumped on me too, calling me names.
Depends on the “mood” she’s in at the moment, which we never know. But yes
moves from perfectly reasonable into calling her own allies all kinds of nasty names. I just blocked it again.
So, did AG Merrick Garland play any roll in regards to the Jan 6th prosecutions?
Answer: "Yes, Merrick Garland, as the U.S. Attorney General, played a significant role in the January 6th prosecutions by overseeing one of the largest investigations in Justice Department history, which included securing numerous convictions related to the Capitol attack. He emphasized the commitment to hold all perpetrators accountable, regardless of their level of involvement"
How did he manage with all his other responsibilities and all?…..you really should refrain from the name calling as it's clear you just don't know what you're talking about.
.
Hey stupid why did he not put all the republicans in prison then if he was AG
The only thing you are qualified for is not rational comments but cooking. Back to the kitchen and bake some more cookies. Be productive in American society.
where did you go–i may have to follow with the way my state is going.!
Lord guide and protect

weelll, i’ll be…my heritage has me 100% polish—i might feel right at home there “)
Same here in Vermont. Moved here in the 70's because most kept to themselves, all were friendly, and land and taxes very low. Slowly the outsiders moved in and inch by inch Vermont was turned from friendly common sense conservative to hostile high taxed progressive liberal dictatorship. Time to say goodbye.
Eventually isn't soon enough, living in Washington state we have had an entirely blue government since 1984, which oddly enough was the first rollout of mail in voting.
I remember that. Enter Patty Murray (Democrat soccer mom) and Maria Cantwell.
Cantwell? Can't even.
.
I left WA after many years about 4 years ago- no changes and not going in the Right direction…
.
So Orwell had the correct year…
Orwell's dead, Jim!
He's resting in peace now that he reached Sage / Prophet level.
Same for Ayn Rand.
ABSOLUTELY…
It was too hard to make Rossi lose…
Nothing to see here, move along
What a co-inky-dink
Yup, from 1889 to 1984 Washington elected 12 republican governors compared to 8 democrat governors, since 1984 we haven’t had a single republican governor.
OR it will continue to get much worse. This is the leftists tactic to weaponize the judicial system to take children and convert them into some twisted version of a leftists puppet. It's disgusting, where are all the #metoo witches?
Can someone please put this story into layman's language for a caregiver with sleep dep, please.
Not sure who is being gagged and why.
.
Basically you’re in a Leftist hole, guaranteed to raise taxes, pass laws that don’t make sense and ultimately want to take your property and give it to an illegal alien.
Best choice is to Move to a Red State and cut your losses.
.
It's that type of short term thinking that lead to the first Civil War. Follow your comment down the path it leads. By just running away from the crazy in the state you are in, we simply become further divided by Red vs Blue. Before you know it, we'll be right back in front of CW 2.0.
.
I agree 109% —> Civil War not far away.
.
CW2 is the only thing that is going to cure the Democrat plague that is infecting America. I just hope it starts before I am to old to contribute.
I predict it will unfold within 6 years.
A Colorado judge is restricting what a Texas media host can say about a custody case involving a child's gender identity. Bishop calls it unconstitutional censorship.
Thank you. That's just nuts and won't stand.
They are taking away rights to raise children in a Christian home because they refuse that gender ideology bs crap
“To have your child taken by total strangers because you are a Christian and will not agree to the trans-gendering of your child is hard enough” said Bishop, “To be told by the court you cannot talk about it publicly is an outrage and unconstitutional.”
That’s the quote
Straight-up communism.
I don't think self-correction is likely. In fact, I believe we are heading toward BEING CORRECTED.
It was great until the LA riots and then a bunch of California commies moved in and proceeded to $h!t all over Colorado until it was the same as their previous toilet on the west coast. Then I moved away.
Good for her. Half da Country is possessed by Satan's Demons and it will be nearly impossible to git da USA back. But it is worth da fight!
.
If we lose we KNOW Jesus will be happy with our efforts!
.
At dis rate HE should be Returnin soon!
I pray God will intervene and stop the evil that is attacking this family and other families that we don't hear about.
You people in Western Colorado need to petition for separation from the Commies running the rest of your state, and using the West Virginia model of 1863, secede and form a new state. Pretty sure President Trump would help you out with that.
(Just make sure you exclude crooked Mesa County, which sent Tina Peters to a concentration camp.)
Damn right. Or petition to secede via the West Virginia model of 1863.
Judicial imperialism. Yet the fascist left whines about Trump’s “Kings.” The judges have unconstitutional authority over the president.
If Colorado can get away with destroying civil rights with cases like Tina Peters they can get away with destroying everyone's civil rights no mater the reason!
Seriously!
They can only prove ULTIMATE POWER if they force a population to except the kind of treatment they are dishing out all over CO against the civil rights of all citizens! Especially when it comes to OUR HUMAN nature to protect children!
As long as CO citizens think that this or something like this can't happen to them they will have no real civil rights!
Or take them back… I grew up in Colorado, fly fished all the great rivers, hunted elk and deer…. Colorado needs to be taken back and become the great free western state I grew up in.
Conservatives are still here, fighting for this state. We're pushing back as much as we can, it doesn't help that a lot of Coloradans are leaving us to the commie wolves. When everyone flees to another state, the cycle never ends. Look at CA, a deep Republican bastion, then taken over by commies, now they are spreading everywhere.
Dont just abandon a state because you can see the writing on the wall, you'll end up running out of places to go by then.
Been a few yrs, How is Lake City, Silverton area? Handies Peak and Alpine Loop are calling me once again.
Democrat judges are getting sicke and sicker.
A cali court just said leftism is a mental illness!
Absolutely Right. Also, remove your children from the Government school system asap. Much of this terrible ideology starts in those schools.
I fear the day we have no other recourse than to refresh the tree of liberty.
Don't be fearful. Find comfort and security in the actions of Patriots everywhere.
When you go public anything and everything you say and do should be open for discussion on every platform, using the law to squelch free speech should result in the disbarment of any judge siding against those exercising their 1st amendment rights.
The bridge between good and evil, Republican conservatives versus Democrat socialists, has collapsed.
Transgenders who support transitioning of children should be the people silenced if anyone is to be silenced. They promote physical mutilation as a means of mental health treatment. Children should not be part of the transgender discussion.
Colorado’s judicial system is a nightmare, just ask Tina Peters.
Bishop needs to be careful or the Trans community might attack or do worse to her and then never be held accountable.
This from the state who's Supreme Court ruled to keep candidate Trump off Colorado’s primary ballot.
Also in Colorado, anyone can file a complaint against a gun owner, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, and get them "red flagged". Then their guns are taken away.
I wouldn't put it past a Black Robe Tyrant to be foolish enough to try and silence Bishop. If Judge Amy Roth did issue an order to silence Bishop, wouldn't take long before every conservative podcaster and conservative social media influencer would pick up the story and talk about what is going on. It would blow up in Judge Amy Roth's face and spread like wildfire. She would have egg on her face, because she couldn't issue contempt of court against hundreds upon hundreds of people clearly exercising their first amendment rights.
'The System' does not hold rogue politicized judges to account for their violations of The Constitution. Vigilante justice is the only justice available to regular folks and when it comes to judges who steal children, it is desperately necessary.
Talk about it anyways. Start suing these judges when they blatantly exceed their authority. These filth need to start being held accountable.
Put it all out there!
Sherronna Bishop is a great warrior and worthy of our support. Ours is a citizen-government and we have to stand up for and support individuals who stand for us and our families. Nothing gets done until we move. With freedom comes responsibility.
Some judges just need to disappear..,
How can a Colorado court sanction a Texas resident?
Communism
Transgenderism has been a mental illness for many years. Now we also know, courtesy of a Cali court that radical leftism is also a mental illness. The two come from the same source, a socialist group, the DNCCP, demanding another grievance group they can control.
Now we also know, courtesy of a Cali court that radical leftism is also a mental illness.
Good god you are as stupid as Joel Gilbert.
nope they just passed it
Commierado
Government corruption has to go. Otherwise, Colorado is a beautiful place to live. Best weather, friendly people, though rudeness has increased since influx of Californians.
If any one at any level from any government agency or court attempted to take a child or grandchild from my family without due-process the outcome would not be good for them. If we do not completely eradicate the Demonrat Party from the face of the earth, then they will succeed in completing Obama's fundamental transformation of our nation into a 3rd world Communist hell hole.
Like most blue states they are more concerned with social engineering than individual rights or the rights of parents. Liberals are 100% into trans ideology and child mutilations. They do not accept the concept trans
is mental illness
She needs to get in touch with Alliance Defending Freedom and sue their azzes off. This kind of case is right up their alley. ADF has won 16 cases at the SCOTUS and played a role, through litigation, amicus briefs, or funding, in up to 83 Supreme Court victories overall since its founding in 1994. Knowing ADF is defending someone puts fear in the opposite party and has resulted in many cases being settled to their client's satisfaction dozens of times.
The party decrying fascism, claiming the right to (terroristic) free speech, claiming silence is violence and violence is speech, after censoring us during covid, deplatforming and debanking conservatives now says we can't talk about things that make them look fascist and censorius. Kay…
Colorado used to be a wonderful state. Now it's a communist hell hole.
Take your kids OUT of public school!!!! Let them stay home and watch tv, they weren't learning anyway! It's lethal!!! Schools feel they own your child…
Satan is very pleased with his Democrat take over of Colorado.
The people involved if it were my kid, would have just signed their death warrants. Better believe as many as possible would meet their end. And my manifesto would let them know, more of this will come for every crazy tyrannical thing they do.
I'd probably be in jail or dead if any government tried to take my moral and common sense parental rights and freedom to speak about it away…
There is nothing "affirming" about the coddling of Gender Dysphoria. It is a mental disorder pure and simple…
We should no more "affirm" the condition than we should affirm any other mental illness.
I realize that most parents today are mere children themselves but if this insanity carries too far and some real parents get caught up in this bullspit there will be bloodshed. True parental instinct is nothing to mess with. And those being told to take children away from their parents without documented hard evidence are playing with fire and should seriously question that order. I personally have sacrificed much for my kids and to have some activist judge issue an unfounded ruling to take them away can only end badly for all involved.
Well what does your CIA husband think?
Who ?
“To have your child taken by total strangers because you are a Christian and will not agree to the trans-gendering of your child is hard enough” said Bishop, “To be told by the court you cannot talk about it publicly is an outrage and unconstitutional.”
Not only child a use to take children who refuse but it violates our 9th amendment rights
This is a way to sterilize the next generation for their depopulation agenda and to go above Gods image
Tina Peters is held political prisoner in Colorado. There needs to be a movie made of her life before she dies in prison.
public criticism of Bishop and her program was issued online by Ashley Stahl, a transgender and activist…
Ashley has a free speech right to criticize…. but the Bishops can also tell her and anyone else to pound sand.
Glad I left Colorado just before it became a toilet.
Its time to stop treating these satanic trans ‘activists’ as citizens with valid concerns. [They] are criminal satanic brainwashed zombies. And have NO BUSINESS standing between a parent and their child. This is unconstitutional utter madness and evil. And must end. Pretending otherwise only hurts more kids and families. And our nation.
God help us.
First Amendment violation.
As for the custody case, hopefully it gets overturned on appeal. Trump's executive order banning mutilations for kids should help in that.
The same kind of evil crap happened in BC, in Canada.
So I happy I moved out of that Communist Shithole 15 years ago. I saw it coming.
the child choppers are in full attack as they see more and more jurisdictions cancelling their ill gotten powers to destroy young kids.
Colorado has morphed into a devils pit of debauchery formalized by the courts there.
Californians moved to Boulder and other Liberal Coloradan cities not to escape politics and taxes, but to move to the "great outdoors" and escape the crowds in California. This was in the 80's and 90's. So, not the same type of Californian that moves now.
Thinking you are something you are not always ends badly. We have all been delusional at some point thinking we are faster or stronger or smarter than we actually are but we figure it out and move on to a productive life. I hope and pray this kid figures it out before it fully destroys them.
Colorado you do not parent or know more than the mom. I live here in Colorado and never ask me for help in supporting the state.
So an interested 3rd party can file to remove your child from your custody.
If that stands, then a sexual transitioning clinic could file for custody of any minor, then mutilate them and so that they could make a paycheck.
If that's the jurisprudence of a "free" nation, I'd rather have civil war.
May Justice be done though the heavens fall.
