U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D., posted a series of statements on his social media account addressing education policy, parental rights, and personal reflections on literature and faith.
On April 11, 2026, Cassidy wrote: “Schools have no business secretly transitioning children. We know what happens when ideology takes over in education: girls lose fairness in sports, parents lose the right to raise their child. I’m holding states accountable on Title IX, and I’ll keep standing up for parents.”
The following day, April 12, 2026, Cassidy shared a post linking to an external source without additional commentary: “https://t.co/CjD9Oi73lz”.
On April 13, 2026, he commented on starting a new book and referenced a prayer by Pope Leo: “Started this book. I like the prayer with young people that Pope Leo gave which starts the book. A good message for today.”
