Another head-exploding moment...

At first, this bothers me. Then I think about it...

If it demonstrates to more parents that public schooling is nothing more than indoctrination, then maybe it's a good thing? Obviously they are no longer teaching children to be functioning adults. My anecdotal experiences confirms this.

Getting your kids out of the re-education camp takes sacrifice. It's a family vacation(s) that doesn't happen, or buying a used car instead of a new SUV. In Douglas we have vouchers that also help, although the Dems/teachers fight that every year (last election they had to lie and got close).

Oh, and we're not the only one noticing the need to escape the camps...

Nevermind where Zero sends his kids or the apparent hypocrisy by much of the left. They pull out the race/socio-economic card when they have a goal. Their goal is to eliminate private education, just as they have eliminated private health insurance (privacy/choice) to gain control, or as they put it, create social and economic justice.

And "year round" is not being done for the benefit of the kids either. It's institutionalization. Kids need the breaks to be kids and teachers used to get those breaks as a fringe benefit. They need to keep the kids away from the parents to break the transfer of privilege (or values).

Our kids don't belong to us anyway...



This from the bitch that can't even pay her fair share (taxes)!

Yeah, it's time for people to wake up and realize there is no coexistence/negotiation. If this helps, fine. I feel bad for the kids whose parents are slow learners but if they teaching gender fluidity, maybe being a slow learner is an asset?

This is a concerted effort to break down a strong society. They promote dysfunction while tearing down functional standards that have worked for millennia. What was wrong is now right, what was right is now wrong. Their intended goal is increased dependence on government.

That people identify themselves as different genders is an undeniable fact. However, recognizing that fact doesn't have to mean a change of curriculum. There is a different between a person's physical gender from birth, and how they feel inside. I think there are a lot more people who struggle with depression than who struggle with gender identity; but those two groups probably pretty heavily overlap. The point is that it's one thing to mention that some people identify as a different genders, but it doesn't need to be part of standard curriculum in high school. Just like with depression, if you want to learn more about it, go to college. We've had to deal with a kid in our daughter's class that decided one day to change genders. By "deal with" I mean that we were upset at first, then we did nothing and nothing has happened so far.

Aaaannd the winner is:

The left is aggressively doing anything and everything to destroy, demean or discredit anything that is considered "Traditional American Values".


To name a few:
Marriage
Sexuality
Middle Class
Veterans
Honesty
Truth
Morals









Foxtrot, your scale is funny.......sad as hell but funny

Because the government schools have succeeded so well at providing quality educations to all children who attend, they have decided to take on the ills of society and address the many psychological issues faced by our society.

Sort of like expecting safety and social work from police officers.

How has that been working for us?

I guess I don't get the whole internal struggle with "gender identity". You're either male or female. Regardless of how you "feel", you're either male or female. You may not like your gender, you may not "identify" with your gender, but you're either male or female. Through modern medical technology you may even be able to change your plumbing. But you're still biologically either male or female. Chromosomes don't lie.

(OK...for all you who want to argue specifics of chromosome abnormalities, I'm referring to normal genetic makeup...not the relatively rare exceptions to the human male/female chromosome arrangement.)

Thanks Jim, you owe me a Pepsi.
Just not through the nose as this one went.....

Are you saying you have a thing for Hermaphrodites Carl?

[Bailey Guns]

Depends on how I "identify" at any given time.
