Sources of Strength — The “anti-bullying” program that’s actually training kids to be junior therapists and informants.

Lakota Local Schools uses this program.

They target compassionate students to become “peer leaders” so they can:

-Hunt for suicidal or addictive behaviors in their friends and report them to “trusted adults”
-Push “belonging,” diversity, inclusion, and social norming
-Encourage kids to share deeply personal information with the program

This is psychological heavy lifting that belongs in a licensed therapist’s office — not in a school game or peer-led session.

The organization itself admits what they offer is “radical” — a deliberate culture change using games, trust-building, and social media to shift students’ worldviews.

They hide DEI and “mental equity,” teach explicit/implicit bias to 7th–12th graders, and promote sitting in someone’s darkness and sadness instead of offering hope. They even reward kids for empathy while discouraging positive outlooks.

This isn’t suicide prevention.

This is psychological manipulation and data collection disguised as care — turning children into activists and informants while undermining parental authority.

Parents, they’re not just teaching kids.

They’re reprogramming them.

This is disturbing on so many levels.
