Meet the teachers:
Tell her she's full of crap. Men are better cooks than women.
And a new slogan:
“Take that crap down the road. Its nothing but a pantload!”
Some tangential relevance from “1984”:
‘Our duty to the Party,’ said Julia promptly.
‘How did you know that?’
‘I’ve been at school too, dear. Sex talks once a month for the over-sixteens. And in the Youth Movement. They rub it into you for years. I dare say it works in a lot of cases. But of course you can never tell; peopIe are such hypocrites.’
She began to enlarge upon the subject. With Julia, everything came back to her own sexuality. As soon as this was touched upon in any way she was capable of great acuteness. Unlike Winston, she had grasped the inner meaning of the Party’s sexual puritanism. It was not merely that the sex instinct created a world of its own which was outside the Party’s control and which therefore had to be destroyed if possible. What was more important was that sexual privation induced hysteria, which was desirable because it could be transformed into war-fever and leader-worship. The way she put it was:
‘When you make love you’re using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don’t give a damn for anything. They can’t bear you to feel like that. They want you to be bursting with energy all the time. All this marching up and down and cheering and waving flags is simpIy sex gone sour. If you’re happy inside yourself, why should you get excited about Big Brother and the Three-Year Plans and the Two Minutes Hate and all the rest of their bloody rot?’
That was very true, he thought. There was a direct intimate connexion between chastity and political orthodoxy. For how could the fear, the hatred, and the lunatic credulity which the Party needed in its members be kept at the right pitch, except by bottling down some powerful instinct and using it as a driving force? The sex impulse was dangerous to the Party, and the Party had turned it to account. They had played a similar trick with the instinct of parenthood. The family could not actually be abolished, and, indeed, people were encouraged to be fond of their children, in almost the old-fashioned way. The children, on the other hand, were systematically turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations. The family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers who knew him intimately.

A reason to homeschool if I ever saw one. This has to qualify in the top ten.
There’s a huge difference between teaching children to treat each other with proper courtesy and respect regardless of their differences, and denying reality.
This is stupidity beyond belief. Pretending that the differences don’t exist is NOT going to help teach the kids how to behave towards others and treat them.
But teaching them proper etiquette and common courtesy is far more work than the lazy, brain dead liberals want to invest in someone. Besides, it looks too much like Christianity to teach others to do unto others as they would have other do to them. Much easier to deny reality and not acknowledge the moral aspect.
So....is the econuts’ verstion of “Cut, Cap and [no]-Sow?”
Meet the teachers:
Wow! It seems odd to me that the very people that force Darwinism (survival of the fittest) and Evolution (nature) as the only legit theories for teaching, are the same ones that want to deny nature at every chance they get.
Oy
We’re still allowed to say, “Girls rule, boys drool” in our house...along with, “That’s so gay!” to indicate something is lame. Also often heard: “Don’t be such a girl!” Cootie shots are freely administered. And nobody crumples into a heap, calls anyone a bully, or chants some retarded slogan.
Pingout tomorrow.
