I need to start a Go Fund Me to buy a bigger woodchipper.

Pigs do a better job of "cleaning up" plus you get bacon.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Don't tell me they're not mainstreaming this grooming stuff. This is just sick. Discovery channel:

If you think this won't end well you need counseling

Ed. Dept.: Counseling staff should work with students uncomfortable with a transgender person sharing the locker room

I remember when we all understood it was the gender-confused people that needed counseling, not the reality-affirming.

A Florida mother is suing her daughter's school for transitioning her daughter without her knowledge. Good.

This is telling:

Quote
According to Littlejohn, her daughter, who was 13 years old at the time, expressed confusion over gender during the pandemic after a group of friends transitioned to the opposite sex.

A group of kids "transitioned" the way kids used to decide to wear the same style of tennis shoes (and the next year decided to wear another style).

George Takei is a "real man". I think he left out "humble".

In Takei's "marriage", I have always wondered - who is the "wife"?  >:D

Why would you wonder that?  [barf]  (some things are both none of my business and I don't *want* to know)

As usual gain of salt and there could be more to the story

Parents suing school board say the board started keeping a dosser on them which even included their medical history, mortgage records, and facebook posts when they complained about CRT in the classroom.

That was to reference Takei's statement about "real men".  It's hard top be a "real man" if you're the "wife".

More of what according to many in the media is all in your right wing imagination

Middle schoolers accused of sexual harassment by school district:

https://www.wbay.com/2022/05/12/parents-want-kiel-boys-cleared-sexual-harassment-accusations/

I sympathize with the parents. I would be absolutely furious if I got a letter stating my kid sexually harassed someone (expecting some kind of inappropriate physical contact, and what did I do wrong raising my kid?) only to find out they are being accused of this because they used the wrong *expletive deleted*ing pronoun. School districts like this need big lawsuits against them.

Also, this Title IX stuff needs to be nuked.

All hail the.. King? Queen? Kueen? I give up.

Quote
A Jeffersonville teenager is going viral for serving “sequined realness” as he was crowned king at his prom.

“Your 2022 prom king is… Cristian Hernandez!” called the DJ in a moment caught by several smartphone cameras.

In the videos, from a line of tuxedo-clad young men, 18-year-old Hernandez saunters out to a red carpet, dressed in a black sequined gown, blond wig, and immaculate makeup. He then claims the crown of Jeffersonville High School.

The outfit took him five hours to complete before the big dance.

And reported to police. Only in Seattle. I see they continue to cover their faces. Also they seem to be going pseudo-military with the OD jackets and patches.
