Obama's Imperious And Immoral Blackmailing On Behalf Of Transgender Perverts

The Messiah Most Miserable has today issued a threat to all US public schools, stating that if they don't immediately do obeisance to "transgender" students and allow them to sashay into any restroom of their choosing, that they stand to lose federal funding.  As you can see from the article, Obama's Minions Most Mindless are chiming in,  This travesty will be formalized by a 25-page screed that will most likely dictate that students must be brainwashed via "gender identity" classes.

Not all local governments are being cowed into subservience.  In addition to North Carolina's ongoing battle with federal tyranny, the State of Texas has told the Obamanista regime to shove their dictates "where the sun don't shine" (my quote).  Governor Greg Abbot released a tweet to remind Dear Leader that he is not a king (a reminder sorely needed).  One school superintendent took the truth a step further to point out that Obama "is a failure".  To that I can only add "amen".

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick pointed out that the federal money that Obama threatens to withhold is used for school breakfast and lunch programs.  Therefore, Obama has no bones about taking those programs away.  For all the kvetching that these progressives do about us conservatives "not caring about the children", we can now see their utter hypocrisy in so doing.  They're just using the children as props to further their progressive agenda - and are quite ready to cast them aside when they decide to shift their focus a bit.

It remains to be seen as to how the US bishops will respond to this dictate from Obama.  In regards to the North Carolina situation, Bishop Michael Burbidge of North Carolina seems to be reneging on his support of HB2.  Now why is that?  Did the USCCB lean on him to dial back his support for decency?  If so, would the USCCB have been "motivated" along the same lines as Obama is trying to use?  Lots of federal money does flow into various Church agencies (CRS, for example) - probably enough to buy silence and passivity in the face of moral depravity.  Lt. Governor Patrick said that Obama could "keep his 30 pieces of silver".  It's way past time for the US bishops to take that kind of bold, moral stand against federal thugs and bullies.

In case anyone thinks that the bathroom matter is "much ado about nothing", here's a little "nothing" that will become more and more common (already is) as long as we give perverts free rein to violate the privacy and safety of women.

Don't Tell Your Parents!

When a decent and sensible person hears that command being given to a child, they know it's an indicator that wrong is about to be perpetrated.  We might at first think only a vandal might say it.  Recently in the Catholic Church we've heard of that dire warning being given by pervert priests to their young rape victims.  but now it comes from another source - our public school teachers!

Such was the experience of parents of sixth-grade students at Milam Elementary School in Tupelo MS.  The students were instructed to fill out a very invasive questionnaire with the caveat "don't tell your parents".  Fortunately some of them did and they even spirited the questionnaire out of the classroom and alerted their parents.  These parents are understandably up in arms over it.  The kids were asked to divulge:

• Their parents' political views
• Their parents' views on issues such as the Second Amendment, gay marriage, abortion
• Their own political views (Ten year olds have political views?)

Questions to be asked:

• Why the admonition not to advise the parents of this questionnaire?
• What would be done with information collected?
• Are further questionnaires being deliberated?
• Why aren't the teachers teaching reading, grammar, math, science, etc?

In the comments section is contact information for the school district.  I agree. They need to be contacted.  Other comments suggest that parents pull their kids out and homeschool.  That would be helpful for two reasons.

1. The most obvious is that parents can protect their children from progressive brain-washing and actually teach them the reading, math, etc.
2. School districts get federal funding based on their headcounts.  Reduce that and their money will be reduced.  That might wake them up.

Modern Education - Where No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

In just a few days I've come across two stories of public school students getting into trouble with their respective school authorities.  We're they drinking or doing drugs?  Nope!  We're they skipping classes?  Nope!  Did they "offend" someone with "politically incorrect" speech or clothing?  Not even that!  Well, just what were these high crimes and misdemeanors?

1. Briar MacLean, a 7th grader at Sir John A McDonald School in Calgary, Alberta broke up a knife fight by pushing the knife-wielding student against the wall.  He most likely prevented a stabbing.
2. Erin Cox, a senior at North Andover School in Massachusetts, was called by a friend who asked her to take her home; the latter was intoxicated.  The police broke up the party when she arrived.  Even though the police vouched for Erin, she is suffering inappropriate punishment.

Here you have it - two selfless kids being punished by their idiot-school officials for performing actions that can only be called kind and even heroic.  I wish I could say these were just cases of school bureaucrats slavishly adhering to mindless rules, but I think there's more than meets the eye here.  Couple this with the stories a little while ago with children being treated like criminals for playing with imaginary guns and maybe you'll get the picture.

Having studied secondary education while in college, I was told in no uncertain terms that John Dewey is considered the "father of modern education".  That is arguably a true statement. John Dewey was a signer of the first Humanist Manifesto.  Go to the American Humanist website and examine this, and the subsequent versions.  The humanist world view is there for all to see.  It is this world view that the teachers are being trained to impart to their students, regardless of the wishes of their parents.  Now this is not true for all public school teachers for there remain some whom the progressives have not yet expunged.  By and large, the public school system aims to train its students to be useful cogs in the New World Order.  That is best accomplished by brainwashing the kids into becoming passive and hedonistic automatons.

Both Briar and Erin have demonstrated that they won't fit into that cookie-cutter mold.  Both have demonstrated initiative, decisiveness, selflessness and - most threatening to the progressives controlling the schools - a propensity to think outside the box.  The public-school lemmings cannot have such independence among their students.  Heaven forbid they might start thinking independently and start eschewing the largess and directives of the politically-correct statists.   Good heavens!  They might even tear down barry-cades when they get older!  The school-nazis simply can't have that going on now, can they?

Thus we see the completely ludicrous punishments being heaped upon these two kids.  Thankfully their parents are standing by them, as are large percentages of their respective communities.  I understand that at least Erin's mother has retained legal counsel.  Good for her.

On Wednesday Michael Voris will be doing a program focusing on the snake in the grass called Common Core.  I've no doubt its tentacles are manifest in Briar's and Erin's plights.  Here is the link; I plan to watch it.

Warning! Guns Are Mentioned In This Post!

Tim Hawkins is a Christian comedian who does song parodies as part of his act.  He's fun to listen to when I can use a laugh.

Some progressives are (shall we say) "humor-challenged".  That often goes hand in hand with lack of common sense.  We've seen several examples of that in public schools (two of them in Maryland), with little children being treated as felons for pointing their fingers as guns, etc.

Therefore, I would suggest that any readers who are reading this in a public school on their smart phones NOT play this video within earshot of a school official.  If they hear the words of this song, you could find yourself hauled off to a gulag by the SWAT team that will be called, because the words "gun" and "shoot" are mentioned.  Watch it another time.

Otherwise, enjoy!

Social Studies = Socialist Indoctrination?

I think it's a definite possibility, given how most of the "social studies" departments in all levels of education are exclusively populated by leftists.  As you read this article by Michael Beran, bear in mind that John Dewey was a humanist who signed the Humanist Manifesto.  Anyone who studied education in the United States knows that he is rightly considered to be the "father of modern education".  That's NOT a compliment!  By and large, the poor kids in public schools are being taught to be unquestioningly subservient to the progressives in big government.  A good number escape the stupefying influences, owing to decent family life and Christianity being taught in the home, but they face incredible odds at school.

Many of my friends home-school their children.  I salute their commitment to the upbringing of their children.
