Villains in Upcoming Video Game are White Christian Right-wing Extremists
{Excerpts}

Far Cry 5 will tell the story of a militant Christian cult, if a piece of artwork released today by publisher Ubisoft is any indication,” reports gamer site Polygon.

A shocking promotional illustration features a group of flannel-wearing bearded rednecks sat around a table in poses similar to that of “Jesus’ Last Supper.”

The characters are armed and a slew of guns are strewn across the table with apple pie, a bible and red meat nearby. A bound and beaten man with the word “SINNER” carved into his back sits in front.

Army's Transgender Training Addresses MALE Pregnancies
[Excerpts]

The Army has begun mandatory transgender sensitivity training for soldiers. The training covers everything from “transfemale” soldiers to transgender shower etiquette to dealing with a male soldier who becomes pregnant.

Yes, good readers. Within the ranks of the greatest fighting force known to mankind – the baby’s daddy could also be the baby’s momma.

“That pregnancy scenario is beyond words,” Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty executive director Ron Crews told me. “This is an example of how this social policy can be used simply to promote personal agendas at the expense of taxpayers with no regard for being what the military is all about.”

The matter of male soldiers with child is tucked away inside the Army’s “Policy on the Military Service of Transgender Soldiers Training Module, Tier 2: Commanders and Leaders.”

Ron Crews, the executive director of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty was dumbfounded by the pregnancy module.
“That pregnancy scenario is beyond words,” Crews told me. “This is an example of how this social policy can be used simply to promote personal agendas at the expense of taxpayers with no regard for being what the military is all about.”

Crews called on Defense Secretary James Mattis to put a stop to what he called this “nonsense.”
“Millions of dollars and training hours have been consumed with lectures on how to deploy transgender personnel in a war zone that has laws against that behavior,” Crews said. “Military commanders should be focused on fighting wars, not on how to deal with transgender personnel.”

Black Lives Matter Wins Peace Prize
For contributions to “global peace.”

[Excerpts]

Every November the Sydney Peace Foundation in Australia awards its peace prize to someone “who has made significant contributions to global peace.” The foundation flies the winner to Sydney to deliver a lecture and collect the prize: $50,000 and a sculpture with a dove on it.

This year's winners have just been announced: the three founders of Black Lives Matter. It’s not clear what they have contributed to “global peace,” but 2008 prize-winner and Australian Labor politician Pat Dodson explained that BLM fights “ignorance, hostility, discrimination, and racism.” He added that “this movement resonates around the globe and here in Australia, where we have become inured to the high incarceration rates and deaths in custody of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s as if their lives do not matter.”

It would be hard to think of any movement anywhere that has been both so wrong-headed and done so much to hurt blacks. Despite BLM’s crazed vision of racist police hunting blacks as if they were rabbits, blacks were only 266 of the 1,092 people killed by officers last year. A policeman is 14 times more likely to be killed by a black person than he is to kill an unarmed black.

As police pulled back in the face of BLM-inspired scrutiny of effective tactics, the murder rate rose sharply after 20 years of decline. As Heather Mac Donald has pointed out, “homicides in the U.S. rose in 2015 by the largest one-year increase in nearly 50 years; the additional victims were overwhelmingly black.” She notes that 900 more black men were murdered in 2015 than in 2014, which brought the black homicide total up to 7,000, which was 2,000 more than all white and Hispanic victims put together. 2016 saw another jump in murders. If blacks lives matter, surely BLM would have more to say about those 7,000 than about the 266 killed by police—virtually every one of whom was a threat to an officer.
Miss Cullors must not care about the 7,000. When she learned she was getting the Sydney prize, she explained that, for blacks, the problem is the police: “Do we need police? . . . In our opinion, no, police are not going to give us safety. We’ve seen time and time again that actually what they do is provide death . . . .”

Hi Glen, thanks for your replies to my previous posts.  Yes, I remember well those Ellen White quotes above. It's kind of with those quotes in mind I posted the previous questions about the mark of the beast. It seems to me from reading a few other forums, and "social" media sites over a course of time, most SDA's do not seem to realize fully the magnitude of the events before us, if they did, you'd think you'll hear more about the preparation for it. Myself, I like to try and imagine "in real time" what it would be like going by what we know of the world and it's ways. By having this mental preparation, when the time does happen, they'd be better prepared for it mentally, rather than be caught off guard, totally unprepared, when they suddenly realize their a hunted criminal. Rather it seems the attitude is, they think they can live it up in the world and when the time does come, they'll be able to sail through it. And most importantly, developing a rock solid, unshakable, relationship with Jesus that can go through the worst persecution never before seen in the world, but are they doing that? Going by what I read, I kind of doubt it.

All this IMO. It seems too, right now, the devil is preparing the world masses by inciting the mob mentality to use against God's remnant people.

 From what I read it does not seem that suddenly God's people will be hunted like animals. While it will happen fast enough there seems to be an incremental approach. That's not to say it will be the same everywhere. First there will be fines, flattery and some of God's people will be offered positions. ( bribed) God's people will be put into positions where they will give testimony... perhaps on CNN and in court rooms. The work will be carried with power and some in high places will give testimony to the truth.

Yes, cp, I didn't in no way mean today it'll be biz usual and next week they be hunted like criminals.  First there will come a strong "suggestion" that everyone attend Sunday. But when the winds continue to blow, they'll begin pointing the finger at that "small company" (SDA's, remnant) that are violating the Sunday suggestion and soon the law will become mandatory.
Ellen White did say the final movements will be rapid. Far as I'm concerned, a year, two, three is quick enough. And with terrible winds continuing to happen, they (the beast) won't have much patience for waiting too long. After all their losing money and money speaks. When it comes to their money, they'll enact a law tomorrow, most of all Satan will be influencing minds to get it done.
I do believe when the hunt begins after the mandatory law, they'll use everything you see today, infrared helicopters and all the technology available at that time, and whistleblowers getting paid to "report" Sunday breakers.  The scenes you see on TV with SWAT breaking down doors will probably be common place IMO. And drones will be very useful too.

It has to happen for us to see Jesus, as long as we're with Him, will be our consolation. But when it was written, the worst persecution ever in the history of the world, I fully believe it.

Informing Jurors of Their Rights Is Now ILLEGAL
[Excerpts]
A most damning precedent has just been set in a Michigan court essentially making it against the law for jurors to be fully informed of their rights. A pastor, and father of eight, has been convicted of jury tampering for handing out pamphlets on a public sidewalk informing people on the rights of jurors.

Big Rapids, MI — As constitutional rights are steadily eroded in the U.S. through the burgeoning police/surveillance state, one case in Michigan provides an example of just how dire the situation has gotten. Keith Woods, a resident of Mecosta County, was charged and recently convicted for the “crime” of standing on a public sidewalk and handing out fliers about juror rights.

Woods was exercising his First Amendment rights and raising awareness about something the courts deliberately fail to tell jurors when beginning a trial – jury nullification, or the right to vote one’s conscience. For this, Woods – a father of eight and former pastor – was charged with jury tampering, after an initial felony charge of obstructing justice was dropped following public outcry.

Even with the reduced charge, the case has very troubling implications for free speech rights. The county prosecutor, seemingly furious that a citizen would dare inform the public on jury nullification, said Woods’ pamphlet “is designed to benefit a criminal defendant.”

Woods, who testified in his own defense, stated under oath that he did not ask anyone walking into the courthouse if they were a juror, remained on the public sidewalk and never blocked any area. He decided to hand out the pamphlets at a Nov. 24, 2015 trial of an Amish man accused of draining a wetland on his property in violation of Dept. of Environment Quality rules.

Woods’ pamphlet did not contain anything specific to the case or any Michigan court, according to defense attorney David Kallman. But this innocuous behavior, which should be viewed as a public service, drew the attention of a judge who became “very concerned” when he saw the pamphlets being carried by some of the jury pool.

Hate Crimes for Using The Wrong Gender Pronouns in Canada
[Excerpts]

Calling someone by the wrong gender could now become a hate crime in Canada.  The protection of gender identity is now being compared to the protection of freedom of religion by proponents of the new legislation.

Here is some of the story as reported by the Daily Caller:

“Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns. Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training…

“Proud that Bill C-16 has passed in the Senate,” said Jody Wilson-Raybould, the country’s attorney general and minister of justice. “All Canadians should feel #FreeToBeMe.”

 “[There’s an argument] that transgender identity is too subjective a concept to be enshrined in law because it is defined as an individual’s deeply felt internal experience of gender,” said Grant Mitchell, a conservative senator, in November 2016. “Yet we, of course, accept outright that no one can discriminate on the basis of religion, and that too is clearly a very deeply subjective and personal feeling.”

Colleges Giving Degrees in…Social Justice!
[Excerpts]

High school students who aspire to be social justice warriors are increasingly finding higher education options available to them, as more than 100 colleges and universities in the U.S. now offer formal academic programs in “social justice,” according to research by the College Fix. The Fix discovered at least 64 American colleges that offer minors in social justice or a markedly similar field. At least 18 schools offer four-year degrees, and at least 15 offer master’s degrees.

There are even two universities that offer Ph.D. programs with a social justice focus: The University of Massachusetts-Amherst (Social Justice Education) and Fielding Graduate School in California (Inclusive Leadership for Social Justice).

Schools with social justice programs range from small private universities, such as Carleton College in Minnesota (B.A. in Human Rights and Social Justice), to large public universities, such as the University of Michigan (minor in Peace and Social Justice), to religious institutions such as Northeastern Seminary (M.A. in Theology and Social Justice). Even Cornell, an Ivy League school, has an MPA program in Human Rights and Social Justice.

At Merrimack College, for instance, social justice majors can take a class called “Thinking Green: Environmental Justice, Gender, and Animal Rights.” Students in the University of Iowa’s social justice B.A. program can learn about the “History of American Inequality.” Ohio Wesleyan University offers a course on “Feminist Perspectives on Race and Gender in the Media.”
At the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, social justice minors can learn about “Gay & Lesbian Literature,” while Oregon State University offers an entire program in “Food in Culture and Social Justice,” including a course titled “Food and Ethnic Identity: Decolonizing Our Food and Body.” Scott Greer, deputy editor at the Daily Caller, can only shake his head at the rise of these non-traditional academic programs.

Oregon Becomes First State To Allow Third Gender Option On Driver ID

[Excerpts]

On July 1, Oregon became the first state to offer a third gender option on its driver’s licenses and identification cards, eliciting immediate concern from conservatives who argue the state has chosen to eschew biological science in favor of catering to a fringe minority.

As a result of a rule approved last month by the Oregon Transportation Commission, the third option on a license application is an “X” that stands for “not specified.” It will allow individuals who are either biologically intersex or those who claim to be transgender or not gender specific to avoid having to choose a gender.

Last month, Oregon’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services division admitted it instituted the new policy in response to a ruling last year by a judge who decreed Shupe had the right to be legally recognized as neither a man or woman but as “gender non-binary.”

Social Justice  runs through all of the colleges whether it is specifically stated as such or not.

 Regarding all the transgender insanity I think we all knew that in the end times the world would be desperately wicked. What some of us did not anticipate is the degree to which insanity would dominate. I guess it ought not surprise us since wickedness and insanity run down the same track. Who would have thought that people would marry train stations ? Who would have thought that a person could identify as a toaster and so many people accept that. There have always been lunatics but now it is spreading like a plague.

Satan has greatly increased his efforts, means only one thing, he knows his last day is fast approaching. Jesus is coming soon.

It's worth noting that the Desire of Ages says that at the time of the Incarnation, the people had become the representatives of Satan, and their bodies the habitation of demons.  Later in the same book the point is made that the power of evil had been strengthening for centuries, and in another place, this same point is made in connection with the end times.

The quotes are below.

Quote
The people whom God had called to be the pillar and ground of the truth had become representatives of Satan. They were doing the work that he desired them to do, taking a course to misrepresent the character of God, and cause the world to look upon Him as a tyrant. The very priests who ministered in the temple had lost sight of the significance of the service they performed. They had ceased to look beyond the symbol to the thing signified. In presenting the sacrificial offerings they were as actors in a play. The ordinances which God Himself had appointed were made the means of blinding the mind and hardening the heart. God could do no more for man through these channels. The whole system must be swept away. {DA 36.2} 

The deception of sin had reached its height. All the agencies for depraving the souls of men had been put in operation. The Son of God, looking upon the world, beheld suffering and misery. With pity He saw how men had become victims of satanic cruelty. He looked with compassion upon those who were being corrupted, murdered, and lost. They had chosen a ruler who chained them to his car as captives. Bewildered and deceived, they were moving on in gloomy procession toward eternal ruin,--to death in which is no hope of life, toward night to which comes no morning. Satanic agencies were incorporated with men. The bodies of human beings, made for the dwelling place of God, had become the habitation of demons. The senses, the nerves, the passions, the organs of men, were worked by supernatural agencies in the indulgence of the vilest lust. The very stamp of demons was impressed upon the countenances of men. Human faces reflected the expression of the legions of evil with which they were possessed. Such was the prospect upon which the world's Redeemer looked. What a spectacle for Infinite Purity to behold!  {DA 36.3}

Quote
In describing to His disciples the office work of the Holy Spirit, Jesus sought to inspire them with the joy and hope that inspired His own heart. He rejoiced because of the abundant help He had provided for His church. The Holy Spirit was the highest of all gifts that He could solicit from His Father for the exaltation of His people. The Spirit was to be given as a regenerating agent, and without this the sacrifice of Christ would have been of no avail. The power of evil had been strengthening for centuries, and the submission of men to this satanic captivity was amazing. Sin could be resisted and overcome only through the mighty agency of the Third Person of the Godhead, who would come with no modified energy, but in the fullness of divine power. It is the Spirit that makes effectual what has been wrought out by the world's Redeemer. It is by the Spirit that the heart is made pure. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ has given His Spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and to impress His own character upon His church. {DA 671.2}

Quote
The angel, the mighty angel from heaven, is to lighten the earth with his glory, while he cries mightily with a loud voice, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen" (Revelation 18:2). Oh, how I wish the church to arise and shine because the glory of the Lord has risen upon her. What can we not do in God if every human agency is doing its very utmost! "Without Me ye can do nothing" (John 15:5). We would lose faith and courage in the conflict if we were not sustained by the power of God. Every form of evil is to spring into intense activity. Evil angels unite their powers with evil men, and as they have been in constant conflict and attained an experience in the best modes of deception and battle, and have been strengthening for centuries, they will not yield the last great final contest without a desperate struggle. All the world will be on one side or the other of the question. The battle of Armageddon will be fought, and that day must find none of us sleeping. Wide-awake we must be, as wise virgins having oil in our vessels with our lamps. What is this? Grace, Grace. {14MR 286.3}

Oregon Legislature Passes Bill for Free Abortions for All, Including Illegal Aliens
[Excerpts]

A bill headed to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s desk would force health insurers and taxpayers to pay for free abortions for residents and illegal immigrants.

The pro-abortion bill would require health insurers to provide free abortions to patients without a co-pay. It also would set aside $10.2 million tax dollars for abortions, contraception and other reproductive health services for 2017 through 2019 in Medicaid, much of which pro-life advocates say will go to Planned Parenthood, the report states.

“HB 3391 was politically calculated to ensure Planned Parenthood has funding in a time when they are at risk of losing hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government,” she said.

“We don’t need to do this,” state Rep. Mike Nearman said before the House vote earlier this week. “This is Oregon. There [are] no legal restrictions on anyone’s right to get an abortion. None. You can get an abortion at any time for any reason. Even sex-selection.”

In a statement, Oregon House Democrats indicated that the bill is a direct response to President Donald Trump and pro-life federal lawmakers. Right now, U.S. Senate lawmakers are debating a bill that would defund Planned Parenthood of hundreds of millions of tax dollars.

Professor teaches students about ‘the problem that is whiteness’
[Excerpts]

Serious explorations into race should focus on the problem of whiteness and be grounded in the claim that it’s a hegemonic “power apparatus,” a Fairfield University professor suggested at a recent conference aimed at pushing “radical social change” in higher education.

The remarks from associate professor of philosophy Dr. Kris Sealey, who spoke about her strategies for discussing race in the classroom, were presented at a diversity conference for employees of Jesuit colleges.

While saying there’s no single strategy on discussing race that works best for all students, Sealey touted what she called the “proven advantages” of her approach. Those advantages, she said, establish “objectively grounded claims” that she listed as the following:

Whiteness means a specific power apparatus that exists at the expense of the disempowerment of black people.

To be white in the U.S. is to be a perpetuator of the power apparatus unless one actively and consistently resists.

In a 2013 op-ed published by The New York Times, Yancy described the white gaze as “hegemonic” and wrote that it includes “poisonous assumptions and bodily perceptual practices.” Recalling an experience he had with a white police officer in the late 1970s, he said the white gaze includes seeing “the black male body as different, deviant, ersatz.”

It is possible, perhaps necessary, to acknowledge one’s personal implications in the white power apparatus.

Woman Claims Her Dog Had Gender-Reassignment Surgery
[Excerpts]

Molly is a two-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is also transgender. Yes, you read that right: a transgender dog. It is no longer enough for progressive parents to push gender fluidity on their children -- now, we have people questioning the gender identity of their dogs.

Before we get started here, I want to assure you that this story is 100 percent real. It was published on the U.K. website The Guardian this morning with the title, "Experience: my dog underwent gender reassignment surgery."

The subheading gets even better: "Molly seemed like a perfectly normal female pup at first. It was only when she started taking walks outside that we noticed unusual behaviour." 

Molly's owner is a real-life U.K. resident named Mary Finlay, who dictated the story of Molly's surgery to a reporter.

...the sheer ridiculousness with which Molly's owners talk about her new "identity" is doggone crazy:
 
"She’s still unmistakably our Molly, whatever her genetic makeup. When our grandchildren visit, she jumps all over them and licks their ears; she’s clearly much happier than she was before the operation. She still loves her soft toys, too – just not in the same way."

Rather than describing their dog's medical condition as a rare yet known genetic deformity that needed to be surgically fixed, Molly's owners have projected human sexuality and gender "identity" onto their dog.

Scholar Explains His Hippopotamus Identity In Peer-Reviewed Paper

A PhD student explained his “transpecies” hippopotamus identity and why he prefers being “transpecies” to transgender in a peer-reviewed paper published in May.

Florentin Félix Morin, a French PhD student who studied at the University of Arizona in the spring 2017 semester, published a paper discovered Saturday entitled “EGO HIPPO: The subject as metaphor,” in which he explained “how his metaphorical hippo-self is collectively produced and performed.”

For a while, if someone was asking me how I ‘identified,’ I would joke about being a hippopotamus trapped in a human’s body,” says Morin, a transgender man, “later, a human trapped in a hippopotamus’ body, until my humorous ‘truth’ solidified and I began announcing myself as an old butch hippo dyke trapped in a young human faggy transboy’s body.”

“Such an ‘identity’ allowed me to (verbally) escape, all at once, several sets of categorization that govern human bodies (‘gender,’ ‘sexuality,’ age),” he continued.

Morin’s paper examines the concept of “transpecies” by incorporating strains of transgender theory. The student analyzes issues pertaining to “Animal Studies” and “Trans Studies,” particularly examining “tranimal body modifications,” which refers to ways in which people can modify their bodies to resemble those of animals.

The PhD student said that identifying as a hippopotamus instead of a boy or a girl is a “form of resistance to the (trans)gender policing of [his] body.”

College Prof Begs Someone to ‘Just Shoot’ Trump
[Excerpts]

A gender, sexuality and women’s studies professor known for teaching classes about Beyoncé has unleashed a tirade against President Trump and now may be under investigation by the Secret Service.

“Trump is a %$#*& joke. This is all a sham,” Kevin Allred, who used to teach at Rutgers University and now is an “adjunct instructor” at Montclair State, said on social media.
“I wish someone would just shoot him outright,” he stated.

Allred, shortly later, deleted the inflammatory statement.

Prior to calling for Trump’s assassination, Allred expressed disdain for Trump by tweeting a picture of comedian Kathy Griffin holding a decapitated, bloody model of Trump’s head.

Kindergarten Boy ‘Instantly Turns Into Girl’ at School
[Excerpts]

The push to make kids comfortable with transgenderism has reached disturbing new depths, with one school now promoting transgenderism to kindergartners by having a boy, 5, leave the classroom and return a short time later dressed as a girl.

School officials dictated the boy now would be a girl, with a girl’s name.

Fox40 News in California reported that Rocklin Academy Schools in Rocklin, California, conducted a transgender “transition ceremony” in a kindergarten class.
“A 5-year-old classmate, whose sex assigned at birth was male, was reintroduced to the class as a girl,” the report said. “Two books were read inside the classroom, both written specifically for young children, to illustrate what it means to be transgender.”

The two books were “I am Jazz” and “The Red Crayon,” according to LifeSiteNews.com. Both are meant to explain transgenderism in a sympathetic way to children ages 4 to 8 years old.

But reading these books wasn’t the only thing that the kindergarten teacher did to introduce her students to the transsexual way of life.

Lifesitenews.com says that, “After the teacher introduced the five-year-old student to the class as a boy, he then went into the bathroom and emerged dressed as a girl. The teacher then reintroduced ‘her’ to the children, explaining ‘she’ was now a ‘girl’ who now had a girl’s name and was to be called that from now on.”

The report suggested this traumatized some of the boy’s fellow students. Some of the little girls in the class went home crying to their parents, asking them in tears if they were going to turn into a boy.

California Could Jail People Who Don’t Use Transgender Pronouns
[Excerpts]

A bill that passed the California state senate and is now moving through the Assembly could threaten jail time for anyone who refuses to use a transgender person’s preferred pronoun.

The law is currently limited in its effects to nursing homes and intermediate-care facilities, but if passed, those who “willfully and repeatedly” refuse “to use a transgender resident’s preferred name or pronouns” could be slapped with a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison, according to the California Heath and Safety code. The state senate passed the bill 26-12 at the end of May. Since then, the Assembly Judiciary committee recommended the bill unanimously and the General Assembly held its first hearing on the legislation Wednesday.

“How can you believe in free speech, but think the government can compel people to use certain pronouns when talking to others?” Greg Burt of the California Family Council testified in July. “This is not tolerance. This is not love. This is not mutual respect. True tolerance tolerates people with different views. We need to treat each other with respect, but respect is a two-way street. It is not respectful to threaten people with punishment for having sincerely held beliefs that differ from your own.”

Titled the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Long-Term Care Facility Residents Bill of Rights,” the legislation also requires nursing homes and care facilities to allow residents to use the bathroom of their choice, regardless of biological sex. The bill’s author, state Sen. Scott Weiner, argues that religious views don’t hold weight in public areas.

Hillary Wanted To Make Voodoo Dolls Of The Media And Congressmen
[Excerpts]

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton toyed with the idea of making voodoo dolls of members of the media and congressmen in response to the scandal over her email server, according to her new book.

Clinton said the constant outrage over her use of an unauthorized email server frustrated her because she had “acted in good faith” but made a dumb mistake. The constant need to explain herself wore on her until she thought she was going crazy, she wrote in “What Happened.”

“It was like quicksand: the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. At times, I thought I must be going crazy. Other times I was sure it was the world that had gone nuts,” Clinton wrote. “Sometimes I snapped at my staff. I was tempted to make voodoo dolls of certain members of the press and Congress and stick them full of pins. Mostly, I was furious at myself.”

5th-Grade Alt-Gender Teacher Tells Students Her Prefix is ‘Mx.’ (pronounced Mix)'
[Excerpts]

The influential Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., is warning parents of “brazen” indoctrination plans being pursued by teachers, even in elementary schools.
Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/parents-warned-of-teachers-brazen-indoctrination-plan.

The latest instance, FRC explains, is in Florida, where a fifth-grade teacher sent home a note to parents mandating that students use only politically correct pronouns in class.
“One thing that you should know about me is that I use gender neutral terms. My prefix is Mx. (pronounced Mix). Additionally, my pronouns are ‘they, them, their’ instead of ‘he, his, she, hers.'”

The Tallahassee Democrat newspaper reported math and science teacher Chloe Bressack gave the instructions to students and parents with the full support of Paul Lambert, the principal at Canopy Oaks.

FRC commented: “It’s hard enough to raise kids these days without worrying if their teachers are working against you! Unfortunately, that’s exactly what seems to be happening in public schools these days, as elementary schools become even more brazen in their liberal indoctrination.

FRC asked: “How can a person teach science at the ‘greatest level’ if she doesn’t understand basic biology? Or the English language? Apart from being outrageous, the plural pronouns ‘they, them, and theirs’ are incorrect for addressing a single child. When pressed, Lambert did admit to reporters that the school had fielded a lot of calls from concerned parents who object to the reeducation of their kids. But even Superintendent Rocky Hanna refuses to intervene.

California law allows jail time for using wrong gender pronoun
[Excerpts]

California health care workers who “willfully and repeatedly” decline to use a senior transgender patient's “preferred name or pronouns” could face punishments ranging from a fine to jail time under a newly signed law. 

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed the legislation last week. 

The bill itself is aimed at protecting transgender and other LGBT individuals in hospitals, retirement homes and assisted living facilities. The bill would ensure those facilities accommodate transgender people and their needs, including letting them decide which gender-specific bathroom they prefer to use.
 
"It shall be unlawful for a long-term care facility or facility staff to take any of the following actions wholly or partially on the basis of a person’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status," the bill reads.

Among the unlawful actions are “willfully and repeatedly” failing to use a transgender person’s “preferred name or pronouns” after he or she is “clearly informed of the preferred name or pronouns.”

The law states that if provisions are violated, the violator could be punished by a fine “not to exceed one thousand dollars” or “by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not to exceed one year,” or both.

Amherst students demand protection from 'hurtful' ideas
[Excerpts]

Students at Amherst College recently protested the mere presence of a conservative speaker, saying students shouldn’t have to “feel afraid for their safety.”

The letter was prompted by a recent panel hosted by the Amherst College Republicans on "Why Military Action After 9/11 was Justified," which included a former radio host known for highlighting the relationship between Islam and terrorism.

They found the speaker, Michael Graham, offensive and unqualified because he was fired from his talk radio show twelve years ago after repeatedly pointing out the relationship between Islam and terrorism.

In an open letter last week, members of the Muslim Students Association, the South Asian Students Association, and others say that they felt like their physical safety was at stake as a result of the Graham’s participation in the panel.

“No student should ever have to feel afraid for their safety or have to wake up in the morning knowing that there are other students on this campus who hate them for an integral part of their identity and are willing and able to voice these hurtful ideas on a public platform,” the letter declares.

Not only does the letter demand that the administration protect students from speakers with “hateful” opinions, it also declared that the Amherst College Republicans (ACR) should have consulted with other identity-based student groups like the Muslim Students Association and the South Asian Students Association before inviting speakers to campus.

Muslims are demanding to be protected from who and why? Their safety? Let's say that many Conservatives are Protestant leaning. How does Protestantism differ from Islam? Yes, there have been and are apostate Protestants, but are there not major differences between the two religions as to what they teach? And, if we look around the world today, who is being killed and who is doing the killing? If one of them says something derogatory about Jesus, what happens to them? If someone not of their faith, even of their faith says something derogatory about their Prophet what happens?  And, who takes their complaint seriously?  :(   Not sure who is more deranged. How many mosques have been blown up in America? How many Muslim attacks on Americans in our country? How is raping and murdering innocents around the world? Some of these Muslim students may peaceful, but they need to re-examine what is happening in the world around them.

When Muslims come to America, they need to sign an agreement to support the constitution. And, they need to be given a probation period of ten years in which they follow the constitution which includes free speech. On the other hand, they are not the real problem. It is those who know better and even support their hateful speech against liberty. We are nearing the end. Come Lord Jesus.

Sex Change Regret: Transgender Reversal Surgery On The Rise
[Excerpts]

According to Independent, gender identity clinics are in place to provide support to those feeling distressed by the condition. However, what happens when a transgender person goes through with surgery and later decides they made a huge mistake and wanted to go back to their original gender.

Dr. Misoslav Djordjevic in Serbia has performed several transgender reversals over the last five years. He’s a genial reconstruction specialist with over 20 years of experience. He developed an innovative procedure after a transgender patient who had undergone surgery to remove male genitalia requested to go back to their birth-assigned gender.

The doctor added that when a patient comes to him indicating they regret changing their sex, it is more important than ever that they undergo counseling services to work out their feelings before going under the knife again to change their sex back to original gender.

So far, Djordjevic has only treated transgender females who want to go back to their male genitalia. The procedure is known as phalloplasty in which the construction of a penis from skin taken from the groin, abdomen or thigh. It’s a risky surgery, and the penis may not be “fully-functioning.”

Transgender Wyoming woman convicted of sexually assaulting 10-year-old girl
[Excerpts]

A transgender Wyoming woman was convicted Wednesday of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl inside a bathroom.

Michelle Martinez, who was known as Miguel Martinez before identifying as female, was found guilty of first-degree and second-degree sexual abuse of a minor and could face up to 70 years in prison.

The Billings Gazette reports Martinez, who is a family friend, invited the girl into the bathroom of a home on March 23, and touched her breasts and genitalia before penetrating her. The girl told her mother immediately after the assault, who then reported it to Casper Police.

When police initially questioned Martinez about the assault, she became “noticeably hostile and defensive” and said the girl was “talking crap” before denying being a child molester. Martinez also called the accusations a “publicity stunt,” the Tribune reported.

Black law professor teaches sons to distrust, be suspicious of white people
[Excerpts]

Imagine if The New York Times published a piece by a conservative academic in which the theme is the author teaching his white children that friendships with black people may not be possible.

Imagine, too, that part of the author’s reasoning was being worried about his children’s safety.

It wouldn’t happen, of course — that is, the Times actually publishing such a piece. But a similar article was written over five years ago, and the result was author John Derbyshire being ousted from National Review.

Titled “Can My Children Be Friends With White People?” the Yeshiva University law professor says the election of Donald Trump “has made it clear” that he needs to teach his sons the “lessons generations old” — that is, be cautious, be suspicious, be distrustful.

More succinctly, the question is “whether [his sons] can truly be friends with white people.”

 I will teach my boys to have profound doubts that friendship with white people is possible. When they ask, I will teach my sons that their beautiful hue is a fault line. Spare me platitudes of how we are all the same on the inside. I first have to keep my boys safe, and so I will teach them before the world shows them this particular brand of rending, violent, often fatal betrayal. …

Of course, the rise of this president has broken bonds on all sides. But for people of color the stakes are different. Imagining we can now be friends across this political line is asking us to ignore our safety and that of our children, to abandon personal regard and self-worth. Only white people can cordon off Mr. Trump’s political meaning, ignore the “unpleasantness” from a position of safety. His election and the year that has followed have fixed the awful thought in my mind too familiar to black Americans: “You can’t trust these people.”

Entire Family Turns Transgender
[Excerpts]

...for Daniel Harrott, who lived most of his life as a woman, just everyday existence as a man is alchemy.

“It feels like you’re getting to live for the first time,” he said. “And my children are getting to be who they’ve always wanted to be.”

Eleven-year-old Mason — he’s the one with the bike — is living as a boy, after being assigned female at birth. And then there’s Joshua, 13, whose brown hair falls around her shoulders as she sits in her wheel chair.

Her birth sex was male, but she knew from an early age that she was a girl.

“I think I was only, like 6 or 7,” she said.

Then there’s Daniel’s fiancée, Shirley Austin. She’s tall and blond and smiley. And transgender, too.

In Shirley’s words: “The whole family is in transition.” All four of them.

Soon after, Joshua came out as a trans girl. Mason came out as a trans boy. Daniel knew to protect and support his kids, he had to live as his authentic self, too. So he cut his hair and went shopping — in the men’s section.

Ohio State course reprimands white heterosexual masculinity
[Excerpts]

A class taught this spring at Ohio State University will review a parade of reasons why white heterosexual masculinity is allegedly problematic, tackling the topic from the constructs of racial issues, bullying, pop culture, societal expectations and much more, according to its syllabus.

The course, “Be a Man! Masculinities, Race and Nation,” includes a variety of readings to that end, including its required textbook “Dude, You’re a Fag!” by C.J. Pascoe, which analyzes masculinity as not only a gendered process, but sexual one, its Amazon description states.

Other assigned reading excerpts include: “Masculinity as Homophobia” by Michael Kimmel; “Advertising and the Construction of Violent White Masculinity” by Jackson Katz; “Dude Sex: Dudes Who Have Sex with Dudes” by Jane Ward; “Looking for My Penis” by Richard Fung; “Sodomy in the New World” by Jonathan Goldberg; and “Teaching Men’s Anal Pleasure” by Susan Stiritz.

The class is also expected to screen “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,” the dashcam footage of Philando Castile’s murder, Key & Peele’s “Hoodie Skit,” and an episode of “The New Normal.”

The course is ultimately presented as a study in “feminist masculinity” that seeks to explain how ideas about masculinity “simultaneously harm yet privilege” men, the syllabus states. It also aims to explain how “beliefs regarding masculinity serve to justify certain kinds of violence by men against others, and violence against particular groups of men.”

Before outlining any academic criteria of the course, the syllabus states that the class meets “on land taken by force from Native Americans.” On the first day of the “Be a Man!” class in early January, students went over a “male privilege checklist,” according to the syllabus.

Canada Rewrites Anthem to Be ‘Gender-Neutral’
{excerpts]

The Canadian Senate passed a bill Wednesday to change the lyrics of its national anthem so that they will be “gender-neutral.”

The bill would replace the lyrics “in all thy sons command” with “in all of us command,” according to CBC News. Former member of the Canadian House of Commons Mauril Bélanger first introduced the legislation in 2016.

Twelve bills have been introduced in the House in order to change the lyrics from what many have argued is discriminatory language. None of these bills, that sought to remove “sons” from the lyrics, were able to successfully pass the House until Wednesday, however. “O Canada” became the country’s official anthem in 1980.

Mauril’s bill to make O Canada gender neutral passed third reading in the Senate tonight – another positive step towards gender equality. #inallofuscommand” Trudeau tweeted.

Other Conservative senators and lawmakers, however, don’t think Canada’s Parliament should be allowed to alter a song whose words were written many years ago and whose author can have no say. Lawmakers were angry that Sen. Don Plett, who was a long time critic of the measure, didn’t have an opportunity to speak against the motion.

“When a majority of individuals decide to shut down discourse in this place, democracy dies. We need to be very wary of tools that muzzle debate,” Conservative Sen. Leo Housakos said.

School Cancels Daddy-Daughter Dance Over ‘Gender Crap’
{Excerpts]

A grade school in Staten Island, New York was forced to cancel its annual father-daughter dance because it violated a new school district policy regarding transgender and gender nonconforming student.

The New York Department of Education directed schools to eliminate any gender-based practices like the daddy-daughter dance unless the activities served a clear education purpose, the New York Post first reported.

The PTA president at PS 65 blamed the cancellation on the district’s new “Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Student Guidelines,” the Post reported.

“Father-daughter dances inherently leave people out. Not just because of transgender status, just life in general,” said Jared Fox, the district’s LGBT community liaison told the newspaper. “These can be really uncomfortable and triggering events.”

Yes, good readers – there are actually people in America who live in fear of being triggered by a grade school’s daddy-daughter dance.

However, the LGBT liaison said there is no outright ban on father-daughter dances – provided they are inclusive.

Parents are furious over what they see as a capitulation to political correctness and militant sex and gender revolutionaries.

Radicals Warn Amazon Not to Choose ‘Anti-LGBT’ City for HQ
{Excerpts]

A LGBT activist group is pressuring Amazon in hopes of steering the choice of where the company will build its second headquarters.

The "innovative social impact strategy firm" called Collective Conscience wants the mega-tech company – which will spend billions of dollars to set up another major site for operations and has pitted states against each other in a bidding war – to choose a state that has discrimination protections for LGBT people.

The campaign being waged to sway Amazon is called " No Gay, No Way."

"If you are LGBT and work for Amazon, you shouldn't be asked to move somewhere where you could possibly not lease an apartment and not have full equal rights and civil protections under the law," said Chris Fleming, a spokesman for the "No Gay? No Way" campaign.

he No Gay, No Way website features a map with nine states singled out: Florida, Georgia, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

"In each of these states, there are no comprehensive legal protections against firing someone, denying them housing, or refusing them service because they are LGBT," the website says.

No supporting evidence of discrimination is provided.

(Robin) Williams’ Suicide Inspired 1,800 Copycats: Study
[Excerpts]

Robin Williams’ suicide in August 2014 broke hearts worldwide.
 
But a new study suggests that the salacious media coverage may have inspired even more tragedy—and deaths— in its wake.

Researchers at Columbia University looked at suicide data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, using it to create a predictive model of how many suicides should have occurred in the US in 2014.

They also looked at the mentions of “suicide” and “Robin Williams” in news reports starting from June 2013 to December 2014.

For the months prior to Williams’ suicide, the model held up. But from August to December 2014, the number of actual suicides was considerably higher, with the largest spikes seen soon after his death.

The researchers found that around 1,800 more people died by suicide in the first four months following William’s death than they forecasted, an overall 10 percent increase.
Grimmer still, there was an over 30 percent increase from expected suicides caused by strangulation—the method that Williams died by— compared to a three percent increase of suicides by other methods.

Yale University teaches students ‘counternarratives around whiteness’
[Excerpts]

ale University is offering a course this semester which aims to help students understand and counteract “whiteness,” exploring such topics as “white imagination,” “white property” and “white speech.”

According to the syllabus for “Constructions of Whiteness” obtained by The College Fix, the English course is an “interdisciplinary approach to examining our understanding of whiteness.”
The class, which is apparently being offered for the first time this semester, discusses “whiteness as a culturally constructed and economically incorporated entity, which touches upon and assigns value to nearly every aspect of American life and culture.”

The goal of the class is to “create a lab for the construction of counternarratives around whiteness in any creative form: play, poem, memoir, etc.,” states the syllabus.
Taught by Professor Claudia Rankine, the class is divided into eight topics: Constructions of Whiteness, White Property, White Masculinity, White Femininity, White Speech, White Prosperity, White Spaces and White Imagination, according to the syllabus.

Students in the course are asked to read books such as Michael Kimmel’s “Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era,” Richard Dyer’s “White: Essays on Race and Culture,” and Richard Delgado’s and Jean Stefanic’s “Critical White Studies: Looking Behind the Mirror.”

Other required readings include Hazel Carby’s “White Woman, Listen!,” Juliana Spahr’s “My White Feminism” and Professor Rankine’s own work, “The White Card.”

Students Criticize New Harvard Prez for Being a White Man
[Excerpts]

arvard University had only just announced its next president before he came under attack — not for anything he did, but for who he is.
That is, in the eyes of his critics, at least, a “white male.”

The New York Times greeted the selection with a news article reporting in its second paragraph that, in selecting Lawrence Bacow earlier this month, the search committee had missed “an opportunity for Harvard to choose a leader who would reflect the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements.”

Harvard’s student newspaper, the Crimson, of which I was president 25 years ago, reported that the announcement, “surprised and disappointed some College students who had hoped a person of color would take the University’s top job.”

The Crimson columnist complained that Mr. Bacow “does not understand, first-hand, what it means to be reduced to your gender or the color of your skin.”

And there, precisely, is encapsulated the irony of the situation. The vanguard of the anti-racism, anti-sexism movement on campus looks at an individual chosen for a job and can’t see past his skin color or his gender. If Mr. Bacow didn’t “understand, first-hand” what it means to be reduced to gender or skin color before he was chosen for this job, he sure does now, because it appears to be the only thing, or the main thing, that his critics can see about him.

‘Racist’ Gorilla Statue Removed From Playground
[Excerpts]

A much-loved gorilla statue that had been removed from a playground in Corsicana, Texas, following complaints it was racist is set to return following outrage and protests from local residents.

The gorilla, nicknamed Dobby, was taken from the Community Park following concerns from some citizens that it was potentially racially insensitive.

The freestanding statue was placed inside a cage at the park over fears it could topple over and hurt children if they climbed on it. However, after Corsicana Mayor Don Denbow received 45 complaints that the gorilla was offensive, the decision was made to remove it entirely.

In a statement, Denbow said: “The City of Corsicana recently made the decision to remove a display in Community Park. The reason for the decision was two-fold: Recognizing that the display was offensive to some of our citizens and a concern regarding the safety of the exhibits.

In a second statement the following day explaining what was offensive about the statue, Denbow explained it was “potentially racially insensitive.”

“This was brought to our attention by a few citizens. The circumstances were evaluated and determined to be valid,” he added.

School Suspends War Veteran Teacher Who Vowed to Protect Students
[Excerpts]

By nearly every account Timothy Locke is one of the most beloved and inspirational teachers in the Cherry Hill, New Jersey school district....Locke is a veteran of the Iraq war and for the past 17 years he’s flavored his classroom lessons at Cherry Hill East High School with real-life experiences.

But on Feb. 22 the veteran school teacher was summoned to the principal’s office where his bag was searched, he was placed on administrative leave and was ordered to undergo a physical and a psychiatric evaluation.

According to parents and students Locke’s only crime was to address his concerns about school safety with youngsters in his Advanced Placement History class.
The teacher feared a similar attack could happen at Cherry Hill East.

UCLA: Saying ‘I’m Not Racist’ is Racist
“I’m not racist, I have several black friends” is also listed as an example of “racism”…
[Excerpts]

An official University of California list of racist “microaggressions” asserts that saying “I’m not racist” is racist.

From the official University of California list of racist “microaggressions”:
• "There is only one race, the human race.”
• “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”
• “America is the land of opportunity.”

The university guide defines microaggressions as, “everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.”

Examples listed on the university’s official website include telling someone, “you speak English very well,” telling an Asian person that they are good at math and insisting that “America is a melting pot”.

Radio host Dennis Prager highlighted some other examples, which include saying, “There is only one race, the human race,” and also remarking, “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.” Thinking that, “America is the land of opportunity” is also racist, according to the guide.

A white woman who clutches her purse or bag when approached by a black or Latino person is also committing a racist microaggression, according to the guide. Asking non-white people why they are being quiet or loud is also racist…

University Treats Masculinity as a ‘Mental Health’ Issue
[Excerpts]

Men, the program argues, suffer when they are told to “act like a man”…

The Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently launched a new program to help male students “take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity.”

Treating masculinity as if it were a mental health crisis, “MasculinUT” is organized by the school’s counseling staff and most recently organized a poster series encouraging students to develop a “healthy model of masculinity.”

The program is predicated on a critique of so-called “restrictive masculinity.” Men, the program argues, suffer when they are told to “act like a man” or when they are encouraged to fulfill traditional gender roles, such as being “successful” or “the breadwinner.”

Though you might enjoy “taking care of people” or being “active,” MasculinUT warns that many of these attributes are actually dangerous, claiming that “traditional ideas of masculinity place men into rigid (or restrictive) boxes [which]… prevent them from developing their emotional maturity.”

“If you are a male student at UT reading this right now, we hope that learning about this helps you not to feel guilty about having participated in these definitions of masculinity, and instead feel empowered to break the cycle!” the program offers.

The program is currently without leadership, but not for long. The school is in the process of hiring a “healthy masculinities coordinator” to run the program, and a school official tells PJ Media that some hopeful hirees are interviewing for the position later this week…

School board bans fact: 'Biological sex' is no more
[Excerpts]

The board in the Fairfax County, Virginia, school district has decided to ban the fact that there is a “biological sex,” and instead teach all students that sex is a “fluid spectrum.”

The members have voted to adopt the extreme “Family Life Education Program, described by officials at Liberty Counsel as “the most radical sex-ed curriculum in the country.”

WND reported weeks ago when board members were considering the move to teach children that there is no such thing as “biological sex” – and also that “clergy” are not to be trusted if students have questions.

“This disregard for the rights of the parents and for the overwhelming community opposition is absurd. The school board promotes the idea that people are randomly ‘assigned sex at birth,’ when the reality being male or female is hardwired,” he said.

The board members insisted on having what they wanted despite the fact the members got more than 1,300 comments in the days before the vote – 83 percent opposing the change.

“The board also voted to instruct every high school student, without their parents’ permission, about the daily homosexual sex pill PrEP, recommended for the ‘very high risk’ behavior of condom-less sex with multiple partners of unknown HIV status. PrEP has a 10 percent failure rate for preventing HIV infection and even AIDs Health organizations warn against it,” LC reported.

‘Theybies’ – More Parents Keeping their Child’s Gender a ‘Secret’
[Excerpts]

Over 200 parents around the country are raising “theybies” in a “gender-open” style that keeps the sex of their kids a secret — even from the children themselves, NBC News reported.

“A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” Nate Sharpe, a Cambridge, Massachusetts, father of twins Zyler and Kadyn, told NBC News.

“For us, it means raising our kids with gender-neutral pronouns — so, ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ rather than assigning ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘him,’ ‘her’ from birth based on their anatomy.”
The movement is happening mostly in progressive, well-to-do enclaves, NBC News reported. A Facebook community currently claims about 220 members across the U.S.

But what makes the movement stand out — and controversial — is the parents do not reveal the sex of their children to anyone, NBC News reported.

Though the children are aware of their body parts and how they may differ from others, they are not taught to associate those body parts with being a boy or girl. And if no one knows a child’s sex, the theory goes, the child cannot be pigeonholed into gender stereotypes…

Poll: Most Democrats Prefer Socialism to Capitalism
[Excerpts]

According to a poll released by Gallup on Monday, 57 percent of Democrats favor socialism while only 47 percent have a positive outlook on capitalism.

It marks the first time in Gallup’s measurement since 2010 that a clear majority on the left (outside the margin of error) has shown a socialist inclination.

The number of Democrats who view socialism favorably has increased only slightly over the decade.

In 2010, Gallup said, Democrats showed an equal preference for socialism and capitalism, with both at 53 percent.

However, since 2016, the positive view of capitalism has dropped 9 percent among those surveyed.

Socialism was most popular among the 18-29 age group, with 51 percent saying they preferred it, while only 28 percent of the 65-and-up crowd supported socialism.

Republicans still strongly support capitalism, with only 16 percent expressing positive sentiments toward socialism.

The Democratic Party’s progression toward socialism is unsurprising, however.

An earlier poll published by Ballotpedia reported that 48 percent of Democrats now consider themselves far-left liberals, rather than moderates.

Chelsea Clinton Says it Would Be ‘Unchristian’ to Overturn Roe v. Wade
[Excerpts]

Chelsea Clinton said reversing Roe v. Wade and its legalization of abortion would be “unchristian” in an interview Thursday.

Clinton pointed to pre-Roe conditions and how many women who sought abortions, despite its illegality, died.

“When I think about all of the statistics that are painful about what women are confronting today in our country, and what even more women confronted pre-Roe, and how many women died, and how many more women were maimed because of unsafe abortion practices, we just can’t go back to that,” the former first daughter said on SiriusXM radio.

Clinton said that her own Christian convictions made the thought of sending women back to those conditions deplorable to her.

“That’s unconscionable to me, and also, and I’m sure that this will unleash another wave of hate in my direction, but as a deeply religious person, it’s also unchristian to me,” she said.

Georgetown Prof. Says White Republicans ‘Deserve Miserable Deaths’
[Excerpts]

 A Georgetown professor said white Republican senators who support Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh “deserve miserable deaths.”

“Look at [this] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” she wrote, according to Fox News. “All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes.”

Fair described the GOP as a “f—ing death cult” made up of “filthy swine.”

Fair told Fox News her tweets are part of her private speech and said her words were “intended to make you uncomfortable.” Fair runs two blogs, one titled “Tenacious Hellpu–y” and the other, “S—t Men Say.” In a blog post, Fair attacked those criticizing her tweets: “You don’t like my violent words — which in fact are not posing a threat to anyone. I am not calling for violence. I merely speak to what my spirituality says these vile souls deserve.”

Teacher fired for refusing to use trans student's pronouns

WEST POINT, Va. — A Virginia high school teacher who refused to use a transgender student’s new pronouns has been fired.

News outlets report that the West Point School Board voted unanimously Thursday to dismiss Peter Vlaming after a four-hour hearing that drew an overflow crowd. The school system said in a statement that Vlaming was fired for insubordination.

Over the summer, the ninth-grade student’s family informed the school system of the student’s gender transition to male. The student wasn’t involved in Thursday’s hearing.
It’s not suggested that the 47-year-old West Point High School French teacher deliberately referred to the student using female pronouns in the student’s presence, but in conversations with others.

Witnesses described a “slip-up” when the student was about to run into a wall and Vlaming told others to stop “her.” When discussing the incident with administrators, Vlaming made it clear he would not use male pronouns, a stance that led to his suspension referral for disciplinary action.

“I can’t think of a worse way to treat a child than what was happening,” said West Point High Principal Jonathan Hochman, who testified that he told Vlaming to use male pronouns in accordance with the student’s wishes.

Vlaming told superiors that his Christian faith prevented him from using male pronouns for the student. Vlaming said he had the student in class the year before when the student identified as female.

Vlaming’s attorney, Shawn Voyles, says his client offered to use the student’s name and to avoid feminine pronouns, but Voyles says the school was unwilling to accept the compromise.

“That discrimination then leads to creating a hostile learning environment. And the student had expressed that. The parent had expressed that,” said West Point schools Superintendent Laura Abel. “They felt disrespected.”

Nondiscrimination policies were updated a year ago to include protections for gender identity, but didn’t include guidance on gender pronoun use, according to Vlaming’s lawyer, Voyles, who notes Vlaming has constitutional rights.

“One of those rights that is not curtailed is to be free from being compelled to speak something that violates your conscience,” Voyles said.

Vlaming said he loves and respects all his students but when a solution he tried to reach based on “mutual tolerance” was rejected, he was at risk of losing his job for having views held by “most of the world for most of human history.”

“That is not tolerance,” Vlaming said. “That is coercion.”

Vlaming is considering a legal appeal, but said he wants to consult with his attorney before announcing further steps.

“I have to research how we would do that, what that would entail,” Vlaming said. “I do think it’s a serious question of First Amendment rights.”

Equality Virginia, an LGBTQ-rights group, said the situation reveals the need for “statewide guidance” that will protect all students from discrimination at school.

Hunter Dies, Animal Rights Activists Rejoice
[Excerpts]

Dead coyote hunter “got what he deserved,” posted one Facebook user

Just when you think social media can’t get any more damaging, it finds a way to disappoint in ways that I previously thought were unimaginable.
Earlier this month there was a tragic accident outside of Plainville that involved a pair of hunters and an oil derrick.

In this sad event, two men were coyote hunting, one of the hunters got too close to the machinery and a fatal accident occurred.

A life was lost and another suffered a serious injury that afternoon, and now, two families now have to deal with all the aftermath.
Unfortunately, when our story hit social media we saw a backlash that we were never expecting.

There were plenty of condolences, and I even expected to see a small amount of second guessing about the danger of getting too close to these derricks.

However, what I was not expecting was a full blow conflagration with animal rights activists.

Maybe more than a dozen voices attacked Mr. Knepp as a hunter and posted how glad they were about his death.

Father of five young boys, husband, son, friend. They posted “how glad they were about his death” — let that sink in for a bit.

We were alerted by several local people that things were getting out of control in the comment section of a Facebook posting. As far as I could tell none of the people “praising” the accident were local people (although many local people attempted to show compassion and asked them to please delete their posts).

As I deleted many of the posts (along with two other people who were also authorized to do so), it finally became evident that we would either have to block or ban people.
Most were from other parts of the country and some were from other parts of the world, but all seemed to share the thought that animals were more important than people.

That is a tragic story, Cop, and the reaction of activists is both surprising and not, but certainly shocking. My teenage daughter and I were at some antique markets where my daughter bought an 80 year-old European fox stole. She draped it around her neck. Minutes later she was accosted by a woman who went beserk toward my daughter, shouting about animal rights. My daughter said, "Let's be rational for a moment. I didn't hunt the fox. It died 80 years ago." It was very upsetting.

Aussie Hospital Hires Witch Doctors

“Bush medicine” now in use at Australian hospital; should U.S. follow suit?
[Excerpts]

 A public hospital in Adelaide is tapping into 60,000 years of traditional medicine from Aboriginal healers — also known as Ngangkari — to help treat Indigenous patients.

Under the program, the traditional healers will work alongside doctors and nurses to provide what Lyell McEwin Hospital staff have described as a “complementary” treatment to medical care.

“The Aboriginal healing helps you, gives you the strength, to mend you on the inside..."

“If I didn’t have that Ngangkari healing, I wouldn’t be as strong, I wouldn’t have been as balanced, I wouldn’t have been as … resilient.”

Reparations Needed Because Slave Descendants Have Mental Issues
[Excerpts]


Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said the U.S. government must pay African Americans reparations in order to solve a public health crisis that lingers from slavery.

“The term ‘reparations’ means different things to different people,” Harris said according to Newsweek. “We need to study the effects of generations of discrimination and institutional racism and determine what have been … the consequences and what can be done in terms of intervention to correct course.”

Harris herself is not descended from U.S. slaves. Her father is Jamaican and her mother, Indian.

Neither is she a mental-health professional.

Yet, Harris argued, without any evidence, that an entire race has an “undiagnosed and untreated” mental health condition.

“It is centuries of slavery—violence associated with slavery,” Harris said. “There was never any real intervention to break up what had been generations of people experiencing the highest forms of trauma, and trauma undiagnosed and untreated leads to physiological outcomes.”

The cost of reparations would fall on non-African American citizens.

This is crazy.  And who gets to claim the "African American" moniker?  Does one have to prove that their ancestors were slaves here, or does anyone whose ancestors came from Africa get in on the deal?

According to evolutionists, we're all Africans, since the first "hominids" came from Africa.

What "mental health" condition afflicts those Blacks who are excelling in their respective fields?  Like Ben Carson in neurosurgery, for example.

Kamala Rips Pence for Not Meeting Alone w/ Women
[Excerpts]

Vice President Mike Pence has a catch-all solution for avoiding the type of problems that have ensnared countless politicians and recently sparked the so-called “MeToo” movement — he doesn’t meet privately with women who aren’t his wife. But Sen. Kamala Harris of California says that’s “outrageous.”

I disagree with him when he suggests it’s not possible to have meetings with women alone by himself,” she said. “I think that’s ridiculous — the idea that you would deny a professional woman the opportunity to have a meeting with the vice president of the United States is outrageous.

Pence, a devout Christian, said in 2002 interview that he would never eat alone with a woman other than his wife. He was serving in the U.S. House at the time, and the Washington Post resurrected the quote in 2017 to hammer the Trump administration.

COLLEGE PROF: ‘Whiteness is Terrorism’
[Excerpts]

 A Trinity College professor whose racially charged social media posts created an uproar in 2017 is once again facing a firestorm from alumni of the Hartford liberal arts school for tweeting “Whiteness is terrorism” on Easter and referring to Barack and Michelle Obama as “white kneegrows.”

In a second tweet Sunday, Johnny Eric Williams, who is black, wrote: “All self-identified white people (no exceptions) are invested in and collude with systemic white racism/white supremacy.”

In an emailed response, Williams said “there are many socially defined black folks who have internalized whiteness — as a way and knowing and being in the world. They like others who believe themselves to be ‘white,’ act on these ideas in ways that create and sustain systemic white racism.”

“Such whiteness internalization lead folks like Candace Owens, Barry and Michelle Obama to engage in actions and policy creations that are existential threats to humanity, particularly the racial oppressed. Thus my post denotes the urgency of exposing these individual as enemies of humanity’s well-being,” Williams said.

“Whiteness breeds terrorism, the exploitation of other people’s bodies and minds for profit,” Williams said. “It’s academic freedom. That’s the role of a professor to try to help students see their complicity and collusion with white racism.”

Georgetown Students Must Pay $27/Semester in Reparations for Slave Descendants
[Excerpts]

Students at Georgetown University have approved a fund that would benefit the descendants of slaves sold by the elite Jesuit school in the 1800s.

The Georgetown University Student Association (GUSA) said 2,541 students voted in favor of the measure while 1,304 opposed it.
It would levy a $27.20 fee on students each semester to create a fund for the descendants of 272 slaves sold by the university’s Jesuit founders in 1838 to pay off debt.

It would be administered by a board made up of students and descendants of the slaves to provide money for the education of descendants and other charitable purposes.

The results are not binding on the university, which was founded by Jesuits in 1789 and is located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington.

“We understand that the goals of the student referendum are to honor the 272 enslaved individuals sold by the Maryland Jesuits in 1838,” he said.

Pocahontas Introduces Reparations Bill for Same-Sex Couples
[Excerpts]

Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., reintroduced a gay reparations bill that would repay LGBT couples nearly $57 million in tax refunds.

The Refund Equality Act, originally introduced in 2017, would allow LGBT couples married before same-sex marriage was legalized in 2013 to file for amended tax returns.

“It wasn’t until marriage equality became law that gay & lesbian couples could jointly file tax returns — so they paid more in taxes. Our government owes them more than $50M for the years our discriminatory tax code left them out. We must right these wrongs,” Warren wrote on Twitter.

According to a press release by Warren’s office, the bill is co-sponsored by 42 other Democratic senators, including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Warren similarly supports reparations for black Americans who were economically affected by slavery.

Earlier this year, Warren threw her support behind a bill that would introduce “systemic, structural changes to address” the “much steeper hill” African Americans have to “climb.”

“We must confront the dark history of slavery and government-sanctioned discrimination in this country that has had many consequences including undermining the ability of Black families to build wealth in America for generations,” Warren said in a statement to Reuters.

Warren’s gay reparations bill complements the Promoting Respect for Individuals’ Dignity and Equality, dubbed the PRIDE Act, that was introduced to Congress by Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif.

If it passes, the PRIDE Act would allow same-sex couples married before 2013 to file for refunds with the IRS.

This is all being done in the interests of "fairness" and "social justice."  Where is the fairness and justice in charging a fee to students whose ancestors had no part in slavery?  Not everyone in this country had ancestors who owned slaves.  Is it fair to charge students whose parents came from other countries long after slavery?  This is the end to which PC thinking leads.  There is no fairness.  As the pigs said, in Animal Farm, "Some are more equal than others."

‘Unhealthy’ Porn Stash Junked By Worried Parents; Son Sues
[Excerpts]

Man files $86,822 civil suit against his own parents for trashing his dirty movies

Grand Haven, MI (Gray News) – A mom and dad in Michigan have found themselves in a court battle with their own son.

The unidentified plaintiff is angry his parents threw away his pornography collection.

He estimated it was worth $28,940.72, but he’s seeking $86,822.16 as treble damages.

The case dates to October 2016 when a divorce forced the plaintiff to move into his parents’ house in Grand Haven.
After ten months, he ended up moving to Indiana, and his parents made a trip there to drop off the things he’d left behind.

But the plaintiff knew something was missing: his porn collection. The defendants – his own mom and dad – reportedly told him they had destroyed the entire thing, which was enough to fill 12 moving boxes.

The father had warned the plaintiff he would destroy any porn he found in his son’s possession after the plaintiff was kicked out of high school and college for selling adult content, court documents show.

“Believe it or not, one reason for why I destroyed your porn was for your own mental and emotional health,” the father said in an email to his son. “I would have done the same if I had found a kilo of crack cocaine. Someday, I hope you will understand.”

Idaho Town Gets Hen-Pecked by PETA over Delicious-Sounding Road Name
[Excerpts]

The activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is telling Idaho to stick with spuds after taking offense to one rural community’s poultry-themed road name.
PETA sent out a news release this week alerting Idaho media that it had written a letter to Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas to ask for a change to the street name "Chicken Dinner Road".

“Just like dogs, cats, and human beings, chickens feel pain and fear and value their own lives,” PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in the letter.

She wants the mayor to change the name of the road to “one that celebrates chickens as individuals, not as beings to kill, chop up, and label as ‘dinner.'”

Changing the name of Chicken Dinner Road would show compassion to chickens and respect for other species, she said. She said PETA would help pay for replacing the sign.

[Excerpts]

 A San Francisco school board voted to remove a historic mural dedicated to George Washington, labeling it “racist” and degrading, but hundreds of California educators and students are fighting back.

In June, the San Francisco Board of Education decided to paint over a 13-panel mural depicting the life of George Washington because the painting, dating back to 1936, included images of Native Americans and slaves.

Painting over the mural would cost the district at least $600,000, according to district officials. But the board decided that footing the bill for this would be its own form of reparations for minorities offended by the mural.

‘Squad’ Member: Ban Guns, Life Sentences—BUT Legalize Prostitution, Open Borders
[Excerpts]

Socialist Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., presented a radical resolution Thursday that calls on Congress to outlaw life sentences without parole, give so-called transgender people the right to choose their prison facility, ban assault weapons and legalize prostitution.

Pressley, a member of “The Squad,” named her resolution “The People’s Justice Guarantee,” Fox News reported.

Following similar calls from socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Pressley’s resolution would grant prisoners the right to vote. She would also legalize illegal immigration and mandate that prisoners earn the federal minimum wage.

In a statement, Pressley argued that a person’s suffering should give them the right to determine how the criminal justice system operates.

Democratic Rep. Introduces Bill to Ban the Words ‘Illegal Alien,’ ‘Alien’
[Excerpts]

Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, introduced a bill to ban the terms “illegal alien” and “alien” from the U.S. government’s legal code, claiming the phrases discriminate against minority migrants.

“Words matter,” Castro said in a statement. “It’s vital that we respect the dignity of immigrants fleeing violence and prosecution in our language. The words ‘alien’ and ‘illegal alien’ work to demonize and dehumanize the migrant community.

“They should have no place,” he continued, “in our government’s description of human beings.”

The Correcting Alienating Names in Government Act, dubbed the CHANGE Act, would remove “illegal alien” and “alien” from the Immigration and Nationality Act, which dictates immigration laws.

Instead, immigrants would be referred to as “foreign nationals” or “undocumented foreign nationals.”

Colorado State University Says ‘America’ and ‘American’ Are Offensive Words
[Excerpts]

In its new Inclusive Language Guide, Colorado State University warned students and faculty against using the words “America” and “American,” labeling them offensive.

The guide, compiled by the school’s Inclusive Communications Task Force, lists words and phrases that might offend minority students, and offers suggestions for better, more diverse terms.

“America,” “American,” and other patriotic words are listed under the “to avoid” category because such words “erase other cultures and depicts the United States as the dominant American country.” The guide suggests using “U.S. citizen” or “person from the U.S.” instead.

The university also discouraged students and faculty from using gender-specific pronouns and nouns, like “male,” “female,” “ladies and gentlemen,” and “Mr./Mrs./Ms.”

Berkeley Changing Name For City’s ‘Manholes’ To ‘Maintenance Holes.’
[Excerpts]

The city of Berkely, California has decided to change the name of the city’s “manholes” to “maintenance holes” as part of an effort to remove gendered language from the city’s legal code so they can be more “inclusive.”

NBC News reported that on Tuesday, the city council adopted a first reading of a new ordinance which removes “gender preference language” from Berkeley’s municipal code.

 “A male-centric municipal code doesn’t reflect the reality of the city of Berkeley.”

The full list of changed words is reminiscent of the decades-old move to change words that typically end in “-man” to ending with “-person,” such as “salesperson” instead of “salesman.” But the Berkeley list goes further, changing words in a way that would make a Gender Studies professor proud.

Instead of “manhole,” city code must now say “maintenance hole.” Instead of “brother” or “sister,” city code must now say “sibling.” Instead of “manpower,” city code must now say either “human effort” or “workforce.”

The term “manmade” is also getting scrubbed. It is to be replaced with “human-made” or “artificial,” or “manufactured.” Yeah, we’re just as surprised as you about the inclusion of “MANufactured,” but apparently it’s allowed.

The word “master” is now replaced “captain,” “skipper,” or “pilot.”

BIDEN: White People Are ‘The Reason We Have Institutional Racism’
[Excerpts]

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden claimed white people are “the reason we have institutional racism,” arguing that if it weren’t for Caucasians, racism wouldn’t exist.

During a press conference with African–American reporters, Biden declared that racism is “overwhelmingly a white man’s problem visited on people of color.” President Donald Trump has only made the problem worse, he added.

“White folks are the reason we have institutional racism. There has always been racism in America. White supremacists have always existed, they still exist,” he said, according to the Associated Press. “The only way you deal with it is you attack it, you expose it, you embarrass … You call them out. Most of all, you call them out to our children.”

Liberals: ‘Hey Guys’ Is An Offensive, Sexist Greeting
[Excerpts]

According to NowThis, a liberal media outlet, the phrase “Hey guys” is offensive and should “not be normalized as an all-encompassing phrase.”

In a video, NowThis News producer Foluké Tuakli claimed that greeting everyone as “guys” ignores the “cognitive impact on women, as well as gender non-conforming folks.”
Tuakli said it was a deceptively “simple” term since it could be used interchangeably to mean a group of males or “people” in general.

“At first glance, ‘guys’ seems inviting, friendly, maybe warm, even comedic at times,” Tuakli said. “But it, like many male default terms, should not be normalized as an all-encompassing phrase—innocent as it may seem.

In a piece for The Atlantic last year, one writer said ‘guys’ is a “symbol of exclusion—a word with an originally male meaning that is frequently used to refer to people who don’t consider themselves ‘guys.’”

Taco Truck Owners Apologize for Serving ICE, Then Apologize for Apologizing
[Excerpts]

Owners of a Buffalo-based taco truck company found themselves in the social media outrage-apology cycle regarding their decision to serve Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees.

First they apologized. Then they apologized for apologizing.

Per a request, the owners of Lloyd Taco Truck served food on Oct. 23 outside a federal detention center in Batavia, New York last Wednesday.
ICE employees staff the federal detention center, so they were the taco truck’s primary customers, NBC reported.

In response, illegal-immigration advocates accused the truck’s owners of discrimination.

“While Lloyd’s prides itself on its support of immigrants, this event shows it can still do better,” said Jennifer Connor, executive director of Justice for Migrant Families of Western New York.

The owners apologized Thursday, saying they experienced a “lapse” in judgement.

“Lloyd has deep ties to the immigrant and refugee communities in Buffalo,” the owners said in a statement. “There is no excuse for what happened and we have already begun to update our internal procedures to ensure future truck stops and events align with our company’s values.”

Lloyd’s then offered to “make amends and learn” by giving its Oct. 23 lunch profits to Justice for Migrant Families of Western New York.

After Lloyd’s concession to the radical left, Twitter users—including a Republican state legislator—accused the company’s owners of opposing American law enforcement, NBC reported.

Pete Cimino, a co-owner of Lloyd’s, then apologized for apologizing.

Professor In Hot Water For Saying Only Women Have Abortions
[Excerpts]

In an Iowa State University classroom recently, students began discussing the touchy issues of abortion and birth control when a student spoke up and declared those topics to be “women’s issues.”

Yet one dissatisfied student took to the university’s Campus Climate reporting website to complain that the discussion, which took place in September, was offensive to the trans community.

According to the student, declaring abortion and birth control women-centric issues “erases trans men and people who are non-binary who get abortions and/or use birth control.”

The student then reported the professor to administration, complaining “there was no push back by the professor to get students to be more inclusive and instead repeated this erasure.”

...a student reported another professor for joking that students should be able to tell an individual’s sex just by looking at them. “He then made a face expressing uneasiness,” the student wrote.

In another complaint, a student last fall visited Thielen psychiatric services on campus, and while filling out the paperwork, noticed only women were asked when they had their last menstrual cycle.

“Women are not the only people who have menstrual cycles,” the student wrote. “Trans-men can have menstrual cycles, as can non-binary people, etc.”

.

In a statement, Pressley argued that a person’s suffering should give them the right to determine how the criminal justice system operates.

“For far too long, those closest to the pain have not been closest to the power, resulting in a racist, xenophobic, rogue, and fundamentally flawed criminal legal system,” Pressley said in a press release.

“Our resolution calls for a bold transformation of the status quo—devoted to dismantling injustices so that the system is smaller, safer, less punitive, and more humane,” she added.

Her resolution would outlaw “private companies from profiting from the operation of prisons, jails, and immigration detention facilities, including food services, financial services, commissaries, and medical care.”

Pressley connects the so-called mass incarceration epidemic with the need to repeal the Hyde Amendment and ensure “safe and legal access to the full-range of reproductive health services.”

The resolution condemns all forms of “systemic environmental, social, and economic injustice.”

Classic Disney Movies Come with Trigger Warning on New Streaming Service

 Walt Disney Company‘s new streaming service, Disney+, has introduced a trigger-warning for “outdated cultural depictions” on its old films.

Classics including Dumbo (1941), The Aristocats (1970), The Jungle Book (1967) and Lady and the Tramp (1955) have the warning, Fox News reported.
The notice comes at the end of each movie’s description: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”

The warning reportedly centers around racial stereotypes.

For example, “Dumbo” portrays two crows, with one named Jim Crow, that talk in African–American voices. Cliff Edwards, the actor who played Jiminy Cricket in Disney’s Pinocchio, does the voice acting for the crows.

Likewise, “The Jungle Book” has monkeys who are “portrayed with negative, dated African and African–American characteristics,” Fox News reported.

Then there’s the “Lady and the Tramp” song “We Are Siamese,” which contains two cats singing with Asian accents to Oriental music.

Disney+ launched on Tuesday Nov. 12. The streaming service has already garnered 10 million subscriptions, and Disney’s stock has jumped 7 percent.
When Disney+ launched, it came with a live-action remake of “Lady and the Tramp” that does not have the cat scene.

Seeking to avoid criticism, Disney+ does not include the 1946 movie “Song of the South” that depicts African Americans in the post-war South, despite the film’s Oscar-winning song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.”

Calif. Dems Won’t Say Trump’s Name, Replace w/ Kiddie-Lit Reference

President Donald Trump’s name offends California Democrats so much that they did not speak his name at last weekend’s Fall Endorsing Convention in Long Beach.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and others instead referred to him as if he is a movie villain.

Instead, they called him “45,” “Him,” “The Other Guy,” “You Know Who,” “That Guy” and “He Who Must Not Be Named,” a reference to Harry Potter’s Lord Voldemort, an evil wizard, the California Globe reported.

California Democrats talked about other high-profile Republicans, including NeverTrump CNN commentator John Kasich, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and even United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Some California Democrats at the convention said they do not recognize Trump as the legitimate president, while others want to show their “resistance against him,” the California Globe reported.

“If we [don’t] say his name, then he doesn’t have as much power,” said Dana Russo, a delegate at the conference. “He’s built his entire career on his name. It’s a brand. Not even acknowledging it while talking about him damages that.”

Other Democrats said Trump’s name triggers them.

“It feels good [not to say his name],” said Colt Thompson, another delegate. “Just saying his name can make some people wince. At my college many groups actually banned his name being said because it gave some students and professors mini-panic attacks.”

Thompson said referring to Trump without using his name is like a secret code that Democrats use to signal their wokeness.

“But it also shows how many are against him,” he said. “You automatically know who is against him if they don’t use his name.”

Samantha Encarnacion, a psychologist, claimed both political parties have used similar tactics to refer to the opposing party’s president.

“First things first, this is nothing new,” she began. “A lot of people have not been named by people opposing them before. During the Obama administration, a lot of people on the right did the same thing, or made names like ‘Hussein’ and ‘Obummer’ instead of saying his actual name. Many politicians have had this happen to them, as well as specifically infamous people.”

There is no evidence to support her claim that such a widespread denial occurred at the official party level.

However, during the 2012 Republican National Convention, Oscar-winning actor/director Clint Eastwood famously delivered a speech with an empty chair beside him that was intended symbolically to represent Obama’s inaction and in absentia leadership.

Trans Man Can’t Fathom Why Men’s Rooms Lack Tampon Dispensers
[Excerpts]

When transgender model and activist Kenny Ethan Jones experienced his first period, he faced both physical and psychological pain.

Initially, Jones, who had not yet come out as trans at the time, felt like he was losing control and didn’t understand what was happening to his body.
However, one thing was clear: He didn’t feel like himself.

“I didn’t believe that having periods would be a part of my lived experience,” Jones told NBC News. “I felt isolated; everything about periods was tailored to girls, yet me, a boy, was experiencing this and nothing in the world documented that.”

“People are still reluctant to the idea that it’s not only women that experience periods”

He currently experiences a wide range of challenges with his monthly bleeding, especially when it comes to getting his hands on menstrual hygiene products.

“Having a period already causes me a lot of [gender] dysphoria, but this dysphoria becomes heightened when I have to shop for a product that is labeled as ‘women’s health’ and in most cases, is pretty and pink,” Jones explained.

Some transgender and gender-nonconforming people who menstruate, like Jones, say when the products are categorized as women’s products, they can feel alienated — and may even avoid purchasing them altogether.

“I’ve definitely seen a positive shift with the discussion around women experiencing periods, but the stigma towards trans men, nonbinary and intersex individuals having them is still alive and well,” said Jones, who gained attention in 2018 when he was the face of a U.K.-based menstruation company’s ad campaign. “People are still reluctant to the idea that it’s not only women that experience periods.”

Economic vulnerability
A box of 36 tampons, which could easily be used within one menstruation period, could cost as much as $12 — that’s significantly more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.

Additionally, menstrual hygiene products sold in the U.S. are still subject to sales tax in 32 states.

Proctor & Gamble to ax female symbol from sanitary products packages in nod to trans users
[Excerpts]

Always announced it will remove the Venus symbol from its menstruation products packaging following calls by transgender advocates, who said its parent, Procter & Gamble, was alienating trans and gender-nonconforming customers by not acknowledging that they, too, can experience menstruation.

“Could someone from Always tell me why it is imperative to have the female symbol on their sanitary products?” Twitter user Melly Bloom, one of those advocates, tweeted over the summer. “There are non-binary and trans folks who still need to use your products too you know!”

The company announced it would be removing the female signs from its packaging starting in December and aims to have a new design distributed worldwide by February 2020.

“For over 35 years, Always has championed girls and women, and we will continue to do so. We’re also committed to diversity and inclusion and are on a continual journey to understand the needs of all of our consumers,” Proctor & Gamble’s media relations team told NBC News in an email Monday.

“We routinely assess our products, packaging and designs, taking into account consumer feedback, to ensure we are meeting the needs of everyone who uses our products. The change to our pad wrapper design is consistent with that practice.”

Child Rapist to Be Released from Prison Because He Is Changing Gender
[Excerpts]

A convicted child rapist is reportedly to be released from prison in Iowa because he is no longer deemed a threat since he began transgender hormone treatments and is considering gender reassignment surgery.

The Storm Lake Times reported in November that Joseph Matthew Smith, 23, a former Midwest Christian Services (MCS) student, convicted of as many as 15 sex crimes against victims whose ages ranged from 1 to 13 years, was sentenced to prison in December 2015.

On January 16, the Times reported a spokesman from the Iowa attorney general’s office said they are “no longer seeking” Smith’s commitment because “an offender’s hormone levels are an important part of substantiating an offender’s likelihood of recidivism.”

“We don’t believe we have evidence sufficient to prove Josie Smith has a significant chance of reoffending,” spokesman Lynn Hicks said.

According to the report:

Smith has received treatment for gender reassignment over the past two years at Newton Correctional Facility. She first expressed a desire to “get started on transgender classification” in October 2017 and started using female pronouns.

Smith has expressed a preference to identify as Josie, according to court documents.…

An Iowa Department of Corrections spokesman said Smith was transferred on Saturday to the Sioux City Residential Treatment Facility for transitional release. He did not say when Smith will be released.

Hicks minimized any concerns the public might have regarding Smith’s release.

“Josie Smith will be subject to strict sex-offender reporting required of those who commit the crimes she did,” Hicks said. “She’ll be subject to supervision for the rest of her life.”

The Times said a preliminary report by Dr. Jeffrey Davis, who is described as a state “expert,” states, “The likelihood of re-offending within five years of release exceeded 20% because victims were of both genders, and because Smith was under age 25 and never had a long-term relationship.”

‘Squad’ Member Uses Coronavirus Crisis to Push ‘Compassionate Release’ of Prisoners

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., a member of Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez’s “Squad,” advocated for the “compassionate release” of prisoners as the coronavirus spreads.

“I think now would be the time, to commute some sentences, to exact clemency and to take care of our most vulnerable. Ten percent of those incarcerated are over the age of 60 and already have an underlying condition. We should be using compassionate release,” Pressley told MSNBC.

Overcrowded prisons are a “Petri dish” for the virus, she continued, noting that she and the other “Squad” members are already lobbying the Bureau of Prisons to take action and release prisoners.

“Given the overpopulating and the fact that many of these facilities are already subpar and that many incarcerated men and women do not have access to soap, to alcohol-based hand sanitizers, to regular showers, what is the guidance, both for those incarcerated and for staff?” she said.

Releasing prisoners, some of whom have violent histories, would only make a bad problem worse, as Republican lawmakers have frequently warned. Even nonviolent felons pose a potential problem, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., argued when the Trump administration was first considering the First Step Act, which released thousands of federal offenders.

Less than a year later, two felons released under the First Step Act found themselves back in prison. The first criminal was arrested for trafficking thousands of dollars of meth, and the second was arrested for stabbing a man to death.

“Most important, when there are manifest injustices in individual cases, the proper course of justice is not to simply let out thousands of serious felons,” Cotton said last year.

Just a few days ago, more than 300 high school students got up and left class to stage a protest. They unfurled a big banner on the street that read, “Strike for Integration.” Some of the kids yelled slogans into a bullhorn, just like Elizabeth Warren shilling for cash at a public sector labor union rally.

The striking students chanted slogans like, “End Jim Crow” and “Education is a right, not just for the rich and white.” The kids were terribly upset because in the year 2019, they say they are still attending a segregated school.

Huh? Where is this hotbed of racism? Is the school situated in some backwoods Appalachian holler? Must be somewhere out in that icky flyover country, right?

Actually, no. The “segregated” school that sparked a protest was Beacon High School in New York City. Beacon is a public school in a really nice neighborhood. It’s one of the best public schools in America, truth be told. In 2018, the Parent-Teacher Association at Beacon High raised $685,000.

Even though Beacon is a public high school, it is a very, very nice school. It’s so nice, in fact, that Mayor and 2020 presidential candidate Bill De Blasio sent his daughter to school there. It has a fairly rigorous admissions process, too. 5,800 students applied to attend Beacon High as freshmen last year, while the school only had 360 slots available.

So, how is the public school in New York City that was good enough for one of Bill De Blasio’s kids a hotbed of racism and segregation? Here’s how the New York Times describes this hell-on-earth school, through the eyes of one of its Asian students:

“Sadie also said that she sometimes felt isolated at the school, which was about 9 percent Asian last year. She had exclusively white teachers last year.”

Got it? The school has too many white teachers, which proves that the school is segregated. Those same white teachers – probably not coincidentally – help the students at Beacon High achieve some of the highest standardized test scores in America. But those white teachers have got to go because they have the wrong skin color.

You can’t expect a non-white student to sit down, be quiet and learn something unless they have a teacher who is the same skin color, according to liberals. (I wonder if any of the white public-school teachers in America see what’s coming? I bet a lot of them will be secret Trump voters next year if they do!)

Here’s some more proof of the segregation at Beacon High: 47% of the student body is white. That’s just too many white kids for the black, Hispanic and Asian kids who outnumber them. Segregation, obviously.

In case you haven’t caught onto the “diversity” scam in America yet, it looks like there really is no lower limit on the number of white people allowed in order to achieve full diversity. The Beacon Hill segregation protest is a great illustration of this logic. If they could just get rid of all of the white teachers and the 47% minority white student body, the school would no longer be segregated! They’ll have achieved full diversity!

The Democrat Party is well on its way to accomplishing this as well. Last summer, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (D-IL) was the new Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Bustos single-handedly orchestrated the Democrats’ 2018 victory in which Democrats captured control of the House of Representatives. Bustos had figured out not only how to drive massive, all-time record-high donations for the DCCC, but also how to reach out to white female suburban voters in key districts. Those were the voters who put numbskulls like Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Congress.

But then the Diversity, Integration, Equality, Woke-Hysterical, Immigrants, Transgenders, Eskimos and Yetis Committee (Bumper Sticker: DIE, WHITEY!) of the Democrat Party staged an uprising and fired Cheri Bustos on the sole basis of her skin color. She was a white lady, so she had to go.

Hilariously, fundraising for the DCCC has cratered since the Democrats diversified Cheri Bustos. Now we’ll get to watch the School Board in New York City doing the same thing. They’ve got to desegregate Beacon High!

After they fire all of the white teachers and force the 47% white minority students to attend a crappier school, just wait until test scores at Beacon High plummet. And after that inevitably happens, liberals in New York will blame the systemic white privilege and racism of the school as the problem.

Sens. Warren, Sanders Seek Federal Study To Protect Prostitutes
[Excerpts]

A group of Democrats, including 2020 presidential candidates Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), on Tuesday introduced a bill to study the effects of a recent sex trafficking law on the health and safety of sex workers [more commonly known as prostitutes – Ed.] in the U.S.

The SAFE SEX Workers Study Act, which calls for the government to conduct a wide-ranging study into the experiences of sex workers, emerges in response to evidence that a sex trafficking bill signed into law last year has dismantled vital online ecosystems for people engaged in consensual and often life-sustaining work in the sex industry.

The controversial bill, dubbed SESTA-FOSTA, made it easier to target websites with legal action for enabling sex trafficking online.

But it also effectively cut off services that allowed sex workers to communicate and organize online.

“As lawmakers, we are responsible for examining unintended consequences of all legislation, and that includes any impact SESTA-FOSTA may have had on the ability of sex workers to protect themselves from physical or financial abuse,” Warren, who has faced criticism over some of her previous positions on sex work, said in a statement on Tuesday.

Female Athletes Sue Connecticut for Letting Boys Compete Against Them

Three high-school girls and their mothers, with legal assistance from the Alliance Defending Freedom, sued Connecticut‘s public schools on Wednesday for letting boys compete in female athletics.

“Girls deserve to compete on a level playing field,” said ADF Legal Counsel Christiana Holcomb, according to ADF’s press release. “Forcing them to compete against boys isn’t fair, shatters their dreams, and destroys their athletic opportunities.”

Holcomb said that regardless of one’s cultural gender identity, physical characteristics that distinguish boys from girls were not arbitrary.

“Having separate boys’ and girls’ sports has always been based on biological differences, not what people believe about their gender, because those differences matter for fair competition,” she said.

.

Three high-school track competitors—Selina Soule, Alanna Smith and Chelsea Mitchell—allege in the lawsuit that the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference’s policy creates an unfair playing field that allows males to take athletic honors and opportunities that rightly belong to females.

They also argue that CIAC’s policy violates Title IX protections for females.

“And forcing girls to be spectators in their own sports is completely at odds with Title IX, a federal law designed to create equal opportunities for women in education and athletics,” Holcomb said. “Connecticut’s policy violates that law and reverses nearly 50 years of advances for women.”

Since the CIAC chose to let boys who identify girls compete in female athletics, Connecticut’s girls have lost numerous medals and the “public recognition critical to college recruiting and scholarship opportunities.”

The lawsuit, Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools, says that CIAC’s policy violates Title IX because “inescapable biological facts of the human species [are] not stereotypes, ‘social constructs,’ or relics of past discrimination.”

“As a result of these many inherent physiological differences between men and women after puberty, male athletes consistently achieve records 10-20% higher than comparably fit and trained women across almost all athletic events, with even wider consistent disparities in long-term endurance events and contests of sheer strength such as weight-lifting.”

Transgenders Demand Insurers Pay For Special Underwear

Student government calls for free ‘chest binders’ for female students seeking to conceal their breasts


The Undergraduate Assembly plans to launch a new initiative pushing [the University of Pennsylvania’s] health insurance provider to cover the cost of chest binders for transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming students by fall 2020.

College junior and UA Representative Cam Duran said the UA plans to petition insurance coverage for chest binders when the Student Health Insurance Advisory Board, which Duran sat on last year, reconvenes in the spring to determine exactly what the Penn Student Insurance Plan can cover for the 2020-21 academic year.

Chest binders are compression undergarments worn to flatten breasts in order to create a more masculine appearance, according to The New York Times.

The Times added that they are not considered medical devices and can be purchased online and in stores.

Duran said the initiative was inspired by a program offered at Cornell University in which students enrolled in a Cornell student health plan or who pay the Student Health Fee can receive up to two chest binders each semester with no copayment.

Duran said that Penn should be able to provide chest binders without placing a financial burden on students to help improve transgender students’ mental health and gender affirmation.

Duran said Penn’s insurance provider, Aetna Student Health, covers gender affirming services such as surgical and hormone replacement therapy and counseling treatment but does not cover chest binders.

Similar to Aetna, Student Health Services does not provide chest binders.

Students can satisfy the health insurance requirement through either a private plan that fulfills University criteria or enrollment in the PSIP offered through Aetna.

How to baptize your dog
[Excerpts]

When Winston was five or six, the question of his eternal life laid heavy on my heart. Where do dogs go when they die? Is the film All Dogs Go to Heaven making a theological claim? How would I survive in my large heavenly mansion without that dumb little guy barking at every angel that walked by? So, I decided to do what any rational Christian person would do: I baptized my dog.

Before you get angry and say that I forced him, guess what? I did no such thing! I respected Winston's conscience and decision-making ability, so I set before him a napkin with an image on it that will be familiar to any long-time evangelical Christian: The Jesus Bridge. It looks like this, except I had drawn "Dog" on one side, and "God" on the other. Nice symmetry, hmm?

Next, I asked Winston to place his paw on the cross in the middle--symbolizing Jesus' sacrificial love bridging the gap between Dog and God--if he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal lord and savior. Lo and behold, his paw moved to the center of the napkin and he looked up at me with large, penitent brown eyes! He was ready.

The final step was the baptism itself, which could be performed by no means other than complete immersion. Luckily, our pool was just the right size for a small dog to be reborn in. I held Winston above the water and he began to doggy paddle with his legs. I said, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I baptize you!" and dropped him in the water. He swam to the pool steps and jumped out, washed in the blood of the lamb.

NASA drops "insensitive" nicknames for cosmic objects

NASA is joining the ever-growing list of organizations and companies reexamining its naming system, removing names that are "insensitive" and "harmful" from its vocabulary. Aunt Jemima, The Chicks, Lady A, Mrs. Butterworth's, the Washington Football Team — and now, celestial objects — are all undergoing a rebrand.

"Eskimo Nebula" and "Siamese Twins Galaxy" are just two examples of nicknames that will be retired, the space agency announced this week. "Often seemingly innocuous nicknames can be harmful and detract from the science," it said.

Celestial objects such as planets, galaxies and nebulae are often given unofficial nicknames, since their official names are typically a series of letters and numbers. However, NASA said some of the names are offensive, and they plan to retire them.

"As the scientific community works to identify and address systemic discrimination and inequality in all aspects of the field, it has become clear that certain cosmic nicknames are not only insensitive, but can be actively harmful," the agency said. "NASA is examining its use of unofficial terminology for cosmic objects as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion."

NASA said it will no longer refer to planetary nebula NGC 2392, the glowing remains of a sun-like star near the end of its life, as the "Eskimo Nebula." It acknowledged the term's racist origins.

Many indigenous people consider Eskimo a derogatory term because non-native colonizers used it to mean "eater of raw meat," connoting barbarism. In June, Dreyer's Ice Cream dropped the name "Eskimo Pie" after nearly 100 years.

Additionally, the agency will no longer refer to the spiral galaxies NGC 4567 and NGC 4568 as the "Siamese Twins Galaxy."

"Siamese twins" is an outdated expression used to refer to conjoined twins, originally inspired by brothers Chang and Eng Bunker, who were born in Siam, modern-day Thailand. The twins performed in "freak shows" in the 19th century for European and American audiences.

NASA said that it will only use official International Astronomical Union designations to refer to the objects that previously had "inappropriate" nicknames.

"Our goal is that all names are aligned with our values of diversity and inclusion, and we'll proactively work with the scientific community to help ensure that. Science is for everyone, and every facet of our work needs to reflect that value," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

The agency said it is working with diversity, inclusion and equity experts to recommend other nicknames and terms for objects moving forward.

"These nicknames and terms may have historical or culture connotations that are objectionable or unwelcoming, and NASA is strongly committed to addressing them," said Stephen T. Shih, Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity. "Science depends on diverse contributions, and benefits everyone, so this means we must make it inclusive."

CNN No Longer Uses The Word ‘Woman’
[Excerpts]

There is a new iteration of the bitter public debate over trans rights, and it all began with a single tweet by CNN.

The cable news company tweeted on Thursday evening (30 July) that new guidance by the American Cancer Society recommends that “individuals with a cervix” should begin cervical screening from the age of 25, rather than 21.

On Friday morning, it began to be picked up by prominent British commentators, including Piers Morgan and Iain Dale.

“Do you mean women?”, Morgan tweeted to his seven and a half million followers.

The argument that CNN should have said “women” instead of “individuals with a cervix” ricocheted around the internet, and engendered a new controversy, as the Labour MP Rosie Duffield “liked” Morgan’s tweet in implicit agreement, and then doubled down on it when accused by other Labour supporters of being transphobic, replying: “I’m a ‘transphobe’ for knowing that only women have a cervix….?!”

Her name spent most of the weekend trending on Twitter, and huge numbers of Labour activists are organising to report her for breaking party rules, while many others flock to praise her.

If you are sick of Twitter rows and “identity politics”, don’t give up on reading this article quite yet. The row isn’t just about language, but about public policy.

Duffield, who is chair of the Women’s Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP), the largest grouping of women in parliament, and who rose to prominence after delivering a powerful speech about her experience of domestic abuse in a parliamentary debate on the Domestic Abuse Bill, was challenged over this because trans men (for those who may be new to this, a trans man is someone born biologically female but identifies and lives as a man) do, also, have cervixes in many cases, and have a legal right (see the Gender Recognition Act of 2004) to be recognised as men.

These Outdated Body Part Names Are No Longer Deemed Appropriate
[Excerpts]

 Doctors have been calling out gender bias on some of the origins of human body parts, believing that the medical language is both “sexist” and “misogynistic.”

For ob/gynDr. Kristin Small, these medical terms represented an older generation and had become increasingly irrelevant in today’s generation.

These terms include Achilles Tendon, which was named after the weak spot of a Greek Trojan war hero. Another example is the term Adam’s Apple, which refers to a biblical male figure.

While Small continues to teach the medical terms for strictly “exam purposes,” she encouraged her students to find alternatives for what she considers as a “dead man’s name,” that was simply patterned after “old men, kings and heroes.”

Other members of the medical field agree with the misogynistic medical language.

Another ob/gyn, Dr. Nisha Khot, claimed that students are often “shocked” by the sexist origins of these body parts.

She cites the term “hysterectomy” as an example. Khot explained that the origin came from the medical practice of removing a women’s uterus to treat hysteria, and instead suggested “uterectomy” as a more appropriate term.

Other sexist medical terms include Aquaduct of Sylvius, a fluid-filled brain canal, Montgomery glands that refer to the nipple glands, and Pouch of Douglas, an area that is found between the rectum and the uterus.

Most recently, other big companies are forced to make a change to their names. Such changes include Quaker Oats and Trader Joe’s.

Using proper terminology is empowering
[Excerpts]

CerebralPalsy.org – Misused, outdated, or negative terminology is inappropriate and hurtful.

A person with impairment should not be defined by his or her condition: He is not spastic, he has spastic Cerebral Palsy.

Recognizing outdated terminology is respectful: She is not wheelchair-bound, she uses a wheelchair. Eliminating negative tone is respectful: He is not ‘special ed,’ he participates in the special education program.

Official Calls Special-Ed Kids ‘Crayon Eaters’: Report

Eliminating disrespectful slang and words that imply victimization is appropriate: He is not a victim, unfortunate, crippled, sufferer, stricken by, retarded, spastic, or incapacitated; he simply has impairment.

As those within the medical industry and the community-based support network move towards universally accepted concepts and shared terminology, many terms will continue to be modified, changed, and more clearly define. Terminology continues to evolve.

Even though the terms impairment, disability and handicap are accepted today, they may be changed tomorrow. In fact, in 2005 the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended classifying Cerebral Palsy as an ‘activity limitation’ versus ‘impairment.’

sexist Yet, others prefer ‘activity ability’ in order to concentrate on a person’s capability, rather than his or her limitation. Some recommend using the term ‘participation restriction’ in place of ‘handicap.’ Although recommendations are made, not all are established.

“Becoming aware of our own perceptions, stereotypes and discomforts around particular disabilities is the first step towards addressing subtle biases that could possibly be projected onto individuals with disabilities,” St. Mary’s County Commission for People with Disabilities states. “Our own beliefs and comfort level around disability has a major impact on how we view, interact, and provide service and programs.”

Abortions an Essential Service Because They Are ‘Life-Sustaining’
[Excerpts]

Abortion will remain an “essential” service in Michigan because it is “life sustaining,” according to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

When asked about states such as Texas that have put a hold on abortions during the coronavirus pandemic, Whitmer declared that comparing abortions to elective surgeries, as Texas has done, is “ridiculous.”

“We stopped elective surgeries here in Michigan,” she said. “Some people have tried to say that that type of a procedure is considered the same and that’s ridiculous. A woman’s healthcare, her whole future, her ability to decide if and when she starts a family is not an election, it is a fundamental to her life.”

“It is life sustaining,” Whitmer said of abortion, adding, “It’s something that government should not be getting in the middle of.”

While she has deemed it acceptable for citizens in the state to be banned from seeing other family members or traveling to different residences, they are allowed to visit marijuana dispensaries and state-run liquor stores.

Texas University Sued for Firing Math Prof. Who Mocked 'Microaggressions'
[Excerpts]

The University of North Texas fired a mathematics professor after he joked about a flyer, which was anonymously placed in the faculty lounge, that called attention to “microaggressions,” the Alliance Defending Freedom reported.

Dr. Ralf Schmidt, who chairs UNT’s mathematics department, fired Hiers for mocking the microaggressions flyer and then failing to show “honest regret” for doing so.
Identity-politics leftists use the term microaggression to label what they perceive as indirect, subtle and even unintentional racism, sexism or any other “ism” that offends somebody. “The right to free speech is for everyone—not just those in power. Tolerance is a two-way street,” said ADF Legal Counsel Michael Ross.

“Public universities can’t fire professors just because they don’t endorse every message someone communicates in the faculty lounge,” Ross continued. “By firing Dr. Hiers, the university sent an explicit message: ‘Agree with us or else.’”

Hiers said the flyers were left in the mathematics department’s faculty lounge, where professors chat, discuss ideas and banter with one another.
When someone anonymously dropped off the flyers, he drew an arrow on the chalkboard that pointed to the stack with the statement, “Don’t leave garbage lying around.”
Schmidt did not have a sense of humor about it. He called Hiers’ actions “stupid” and “cowardly.”

Hiers said he has the freedom to comment on flyers if someone else has the freedom to anonymously put them in the lounge.

Top-Down Anti-White Diversity Training Is Roiling the American Workplace
[Excerpts]

(John Murawski, RealClearInvestigations) A white physician working in Raleigh, N.C., says he has participated in multiple diversity training exercises – including two in the last two years – without a fuss. But he was taken aback when his employer, Duke University Health System, said this summer it will roll out a comprehensive strategy to purge the last vestiges of racism from the workplace.

The way it looks to him, Duke basically wants him to admit he’s a racist and repent.

Like a growing number of organizations around the country responding to the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, Duke is adopting anti-racist advocacy as an organizational mission. That mission doesn’t mention time-honored workplace goals like color-blindness, meritocracy, or equal opportunity; instead, its target is the so-called complicity of America and its citizens in “structural racism,” “oppression,” and denialism.

“I feel like my employer is calling me ‘racist’ and I then saying I must agree,” the doctor, who requested anonymity, told RealClearInvestigations. He said he is troubled that Duke’s leadership is imposing its political ideology on staff, implicating employees in a sweeping moral narrative, and dedicating itself to the task of “uncovering this hidden racism the employer is sure lurks within.”

Workers are coming under increasing pressure to support social justice programs on race and gender that would have been considered radical just a few years ago and too divisive to be injected into the workplace. Now an organization’s commitment to fighting racism and identity-related “phobias” increasingly involves encouraging, pressing, or even requiring workers to get behind the company’s social justice mission. And it can spell trouble for employees who balk or publicly disagree…

The backlash has been almost immediate. Just last month, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a religious discrimination complaint against Kroger Co., the grocery chain, for firing two conservative Christian employees who refused to wear mandatory rainbow hearts on their work aprons in an Arkansas store because, they said, it constituted advocacy for LGBTQ causes. The women’s attorney, David Hogue, said he is representing about 10 other Kroger employees who are seeking a religious exemption from wearing the hearts on their smocks.

Also last month, President Trump issued an executive order banning racial and gender stereotyping in federal agencies and by federal contractors. What Trump had in mind wasn’t old-fashioned chauvinists and bigots – he was targeting racial-sensitivity workshops informed by a doctrine known as critical race theory.

“Many people are pushing a different vision of America that is grounded in hierarchies based on collective social and political identities rather than in the inherent and equal dignity of every person as an individual,” the executive order states. “This ideology is rooted in the pernicious and false belief that America is an irredeemably racist and sexist country; that some people, simply on account of their race or sex, are oppressors; and that racial and sexual identities are more important than our common status as human beings and Americans.”

Woke Educators Declare Objective Math a Form of ‘White Supremacy’
[Excerpts]

...math education itself has been deemed “racist.” A group of educators just released a document calling for a transformation of math education that focuses on “dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms by visibilizing the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture with respect to math.”

Among the educators’ recommendations, which officials in some states are promoting, are calls to “identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views,” “provide learning opportunities that use math as resistance,” and “encourage them to disrupt the disproportionate push-out of people of color in [STEM] fields.”

Beyond activism, these recommendations also argue that traditional approaches to math education promote racism and white supremacy, such as requiring students to show their work or prioritizing correct answers to math problems. The document claims that current math teaching is problematic because it focuses on “reinforcing objectivity and the idea that there is only one right way” while it “also reinforces paternalism.”

This week, some prominent university professors spoke out against these new woke math education recommendations. Princeton mathematics professor Sergiu Klainerman wrote a guest post on the topic at journalist Bari Weiss’s website. He says: “Attempts to ‘deconstruct’ mathematics, deny its objectivity, accuse it of racial bias, and infuse it with political ideology have become more and more common — perhaps, even, at your child’s elementary school.”

Klainerman, who grew up in communist Romania, warns that this current classroom dogma is dangerous. He writes: “When it comes to education, I believe the woke ideology is even more harmful than old-fashioned communism.”

Columbia University English professor John McWhorter also chimed in against this math education document and its recommendations.

“This lovely pamphlet is teaching us that it is racist to expect black kids to master the precision of math,” he writes in a blog post. “To wit – its message, penned by people who consider themselves some of the most morally advanced souls in the history of the human species, is one that Strom Thurmond would have happily taken a swig of whiskey to.”

“This, folks, is the ‘Critical Race Theory’ that so many of us are resisting, not a simple program for ‘social justice,’” McWhorter later adds. “To distrust this document is not to be against social justice, but against racism.”

While the growing emphasis on critical theory in American classrooms has broader societal implications, including the devaluation of objectivity and individualism, the real victims of this educational approach are the students themselves. In one of his final articles before he died last December, economist Walter Williams decried the poor academic performance of students in large urban school districts.

“In two city high schools,” Williams wrote of Detroit, “only one student tested proficient in math and none are proficient in English. Yet, the schools spent a full week learning about ‘systemic racism’ and ‘Black Lives Matter activism.’”

I'm sure the Black astronauts who have flown to the ISS were grateful for the "white supremacy" of the math that allowed them to rendezvous with the space station.

Insanity or devil possession?  A little of both?

Along those lines, I keep thinking of what kind of faith a person would to have to fly in a plane, drive over a bridge or enter into a space station, etc. designed by an engineer who doesn't believe there has to be a correct answer to their math calculations? ::)

This did not happen over night. It has been coming for a long time. It seems that those who have been in charge of our system have failed. Jesus said the world would be like it was just before God destroyed everything on the Earth except what was in the ark. Come Lord Jesus.

We cannot even imagine!  It was so bad, God repented of having made man.  From Genesis:

 6:5   And God saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. 
 6:6   And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 
 6:7   And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 

God is still holding the winds of strife back so we can finish the work entrusted to us.

While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has His agents among the leading men of the nation. The enemy moves upon his servants to propose measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable arguments. Thus a few men will hold in check a powerful current of evil. The opposition of the enemies of truth will be restrained that the third angel’s message may do its work. When the final warning shall be given, it will arrest the attention of these leading men through whom the Lord is now working, and some of them will accept it, and will stand with the people of God through the time of trouble. { GC 610.3}

When God allows the wind to blow, it will be far worse than in the dark ages. Today is the day of preparation. Our characters are to be strengthened for that day. God gives us little steps to prepare for what is coming.

[I continually read or hear of things taking place in these last days that a few years ago would have said was impossible. The Holy Spirit is definitely being withdrawn from this world. When I hear of things like this, it makes me wonder how wicked and evil the world of Noah's time was. Is God being more lenient with this world than He was before? ]

Jesse Watters Interviews Transgender Wolf
[Excerpts]

 In the latest iteration of leftist insanity, the so-called trans-species movement has emerged.

Fox News’s Jesse Watters interviewed a man who claims to be a female wolf, the Citizen Free Press reported.

Naia Okami, age 27, told Watters that although he lacks traditional wolf-like traits, such as wolf ears, a tail, paws, sharp canines, etc., he actually identifies as a British Columbian Wolf.

Biden Hires Dog-Attracted Drag Queen to Oversee Nuclear Waste
[Excerpts]

 By day, Sam Brinton, the newly appointed deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy, will be tasked with ensuring no radioactive leaks make their way into the nation’s water supply.

By night, Brinton, a kinky nonbinary drag queen, will deal with a different type of leaks: those of his “puppy” Gryphn.

Throughout the segment, Fox played footage of Okami shuffling around the forest on all fours. Okami and his trans-species friends claim to spiritually identify as animals.

Watters stressed that this is a growing movement across the country, and claimed that many people even claim to be mythical creatures.

Biden and NASA ban white men from going to the Moon
[Excerpts]

Not ‘the face of America’: Biden and NASA decide white men won’t be going to the Moon

HOUSTON, TX – In a controversial move, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has committed to sending a woman and black man to the Moon, leaving white men excluded regardless of qualifications or experience.

Under the Artemis program, NASA declared in April 2021 to exclude white men from the moon landing. On their government website, NASA wrote:

“With Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.

“We will collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the first long-term presence on the Moon. Then, we will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.”

"Color and gender is now more important than knowledge, merit, and expertise. Again libs play the race/gender card. Skills don't count.

NASA Pledges to Put Woman and Person of Color on the Moon in 2025 -- White Men May Not Apply "

NASA claims that their plan to return to the moon in 2025 will be for the betterment of all mankind...

In an April 09, 2021, statement, Acting NASA Administrator Steve Jurczyk stated that President Joe Biden’s FY 2022 discretionary funding request to Congress included $24.7 billion for NASA to put a woman and man on the moon as a step to eventual manned landings on Mars.

Ironically, the President specifically forbids white men from qualifying for the moon shot in the name of equality. Jurczyk wrote:

“The president’s FY 2022 discretionary funding request keeps NASA on the path to landing the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon under the Artemis program.

“This goal aligns with President Biden’s commitment to pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all. With NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.”

This is the kind of identity politics which brought us the most incompetent VP in my lifetime, along with a Supreme Court nominee who can't tell what a woman is.  It's nothing more than reverse discrimination.  Substitute the term "Black woman" for "white man," and WWIII would ensue.

I am sure that there are many who have been offended by those who elected the president. Think of all who have been left out besides old white men. Sam who was Sally does not understand why he/she has been discriminated against. And, the same would apply to Mary who was Bob. Mary would feel that a transformed man ought to be considered since women are being discriminated too much.  And age plays a part also. It seems that they may consider "old" as a disqualification. And, it appears they think that young people are ok to forbid landing on the moon.  We could go on and on pointing out the hypocrisy, but most already see it.

India is pointing out some of this when they say that America is buying uranium from Russia while the money Russia makes off of America is being used to obliterate citizens in Ukraine. And they point out the same with  Germany buying gas from Russia. While all this goes on, who is going to come out of this as a shining angel? The man of peace, of course. The Bible in the Book of Revelation says the whole world will wonder after him.

13:3   And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 
 13:4   And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 
 13:5   And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. 
 13:6   And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 
 13:7   And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 
 13:8   And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 
 13:9   If any man have an ear, let him hear. 
 13:10   He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 
 13:11   And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 
 13:12   And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 
 13:13   And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 
 13:14   And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 
 13:15   And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 
 13:16   And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 
 13:17   And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 
 13:18   Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six. 
 

The sins that caused God to destroy every living thing off the face of the Earth except what was in the ark has returned. Look up, our redemption draweth nigh!!
