This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Descent into madness.
More and more, millions of people should be withdrawing their kids from public school altogether and establish private schools founded on mission statements that reject ALL the gender related current political nonsense.
Yes there should be empathy for someone who from a young age has somehow adopted a mental problem, an identity dysphoria that includes an obsession that they are not the identity they have.
But that empathy and compassion should not result in inflicting “adjustment” to someone’s mental problem to all the children that do not have it. It is refusal to admit it is a mental problem that leads to all the wrong solutions.
Yes, fighting a strong obsession can be difficult, cause anguish, anxiety and much emotional distress, while giving in to an obsession and living it out can seem “comforting”. Yes surrender can seem comforting.
But, no one should be fooled. It is surrender to a problem that will, no matter what the “transgender” person does, lead to person and social distress all their life, “transgender” surgery or not.
Meanwhile, give a “transgender” child in school use of any available single occupancy restroom and locker room facilities where they9 can deal with their obsession privately and doing so is not imposed on the other children whose gender is opposite of the natural gender of the “transgender” child.
“smash the patriarchy”
promote promiscuity/perversity
“smash monogamy”
goals of NOW Marxists (and also stated goals of the Weather Underground, at least that is why Bill Ayers said he swings both ways)
This according to the sister of the founder of NOW

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives

“When women go wrong men go right after them.” – Mae West
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago.
During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you’ll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!”
What a giggle we girls had over that. “How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are,” we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.
Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, “Come to New York. We’re making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.”
I hadn’t seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.
And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”
It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish.
To me, this sounded silly. I was enduring culture shock after having been cut-off from my homeland, living in Third-World countries for years with not one trip back to the United States. I was one of those people who, upon returning to American soil, fell out of the plane blubbering with ecstasy at being home in the USA. I knelt on the ground covering it with kisses. I had learned just exactly how delicious was the land of my birth and didn’t care what anyone thought because they just hadn’t seen what I had or been where I had been. I had seen factory workers and sex-slaves chained to walls.
How could they know? Asia is beyond our ken and, as they say, utterly inscrutable, and a kind of hell I never intended to revisit. I lived there, not junketed, not visited like sweet little tourists — I’d conducted households and tried to raise a child. I had outgrown the communism of my university days and was clumsily groping my way back to God.
How could twelve American women who were the most respectable types imaginable — clean and privileged graduates of esteemed institutions: Columbia, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Vassar; the uncle of one was Secretary of War under Franklin Roosevelt — plot such a thing? Most had advanced degrees and appeared cogent, bright, reasonable and good. How did these people rationally believe they could succeed with such vicious grandiosity? And why?
I dismissed it as academic-lounge air-castle-building. I continued with my new life in New York while my sister became famous publishing her books, featured on the cover of “Time Magazine.” “Time” called her “the Karl Marx of the Women’s Movement.” This was because her book laid out a course in Marxism 101 for women. Her thesis: The family is a den of slavery with the man as the Bourgeoisie and the woman and children as the Proletariat. The only hope for women’s “liberation” (communism’s favorite word for leading minions into inextricable slavery; “liberation,” and much like “collective” – please run from it, run for your life) was this new “Women’s Movement.” Her books captivated the academic classes and soon “Women’s Studies” courses were installed in colleges in a steady wave across the nation with Kate Millett books as required reading...
deviants must learn to deviate or just die
there is no humanly way to please the lunatic left. Stop trying.
[Student] Ryan [Flores] said he heard “some very negative and vulgar comments” at school Friday. ..... Ryan said. He started having a panic attack.” Oh no, life is difficult? Who knew? Just roll up on the floor Ryan and have a good cry. That will make things a lot better.
If those poor “transgendered” snowflake students feel left out, how about a “Straits versus Gays” competition? Anything to be fair.
Stupid tradition, but a stupid reason for ending it.
How is it that such a small minority of gender confused people have ended up controlling the rest of society?
I like the twerking japanese girls, but fail to see the connection.

You mean the aren’t really girls? Is that it?
The media wants you to think that there are large numbers of TGs out there who need your love and support.
Any parent, teacher, doctor, psychologist or other adult or mentor who is responsible in any way for bringing a child to this mental state should be prosecuted for violent child abuse and mental cruelty, given a fair trial, found guilty and executed.
Freaks on parade! As pathetic as it is, this allows for free viewing of freaks and perverts. LOL.

Camille Paglia: ‘Transgender Mania’ is a Symptom of West’s Cultural Decline, the Collapse of Cultures

There are two genders. MALE and FEMALE.
waiting for the inevitable ‘sex is not gender’ correction...
Is that book still available?
https://www.amazon.com/Hostage-Devil-Possession-Contemporary-Americans/dp/006065337X
I highly recommend it. It is riveting, and also reinforces the fact that Christ is Lord. The only power these demons fear is the name of Christ. That comes across abundantly clear in the book and in each case of possession.
The West is running out of time. This madness will only result in more madness. SMH
