Review: In ‘A Kid Like Jake,’ Parents, Gender and a 4-Year-Old {Gender bender socialist film alert}
The New york Times ^ | May 31, 2018 | Glenn Kenny

Posted on 06/01/2018 1:16:22 AM PDT by Cronos

Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are young Brooklyn parents of the new middle class in “A Kid Like Jake”: progressive, acutely involved with their child’s development and a little self-congratulatory about how not self-congratulatory they are. As their 4-year-old, Jake, nears school age, they talk the talk about wanting to support public education, but also about wanting the best for their smart kid.

Jake is more than just smart. As Judy (Octavia Spencer), a family friend who also supervises Jake’s preschool, points out, he enjoys “gender-expansive play.” When Alex and Greg refuse to allow him to dress up as Rapunzel for Halloween, Jake does not respond well...

The left is really pushing this agenda. A 4 year old kid plays. it's got nothing to do with the long term character of the kid.

Pure evil, but so far the left has won all the culture wars, so unfortunately I assume they’ll win this one as well.

Right, kids pretend all the time. I think every little boy has probably tried to walk in their mom’s high heels and every little girl has tried on one of dad’s ties and dress shirts.

They are pushing the gay agenda on kids. May these pieces of $hit die a miserable death, and burn in hell.

>>but also about wanting the best for their smart kid. Jake is more than just smart.

Not so smart, he wants to be a princess and doesn’t comprehend what it all really means or the motives of those exploiting his fantasy.

This crap went on 50 years ago in German schools with children touching their teachers and experimenting with one another in class.

It eventually got rejected by the public and is mostly looked down upon with shock these days.

But it’s the same sex positive agenda goals pushed by the same socialist educrats.

BEVARE! BEVARE! IT’S LUGOSI
By JANET MASLIN

‘’GLEN OR GLENDA,’’ which opens today at the Quad Cinema, is a half-mad old movie Paramount hasn’t so much rescued as disinterred. It isn’t quite a camp classic, although it’s dreadful enough to have a certain comic appeal. ‘’Glen or Glenda’’ is also a film of great conviction in its way, and that tends to interfere with the fun. Edward Wood, who made the film in 1952, appears to have genuinely believed that the world was an unfair place because women got to wear all the lounging pajamas. Here, in 67 minutes punctuated by occasional bewildering shrieks from Bela Lugosi, he made his case.

The title character is a tranvestite often seen gazing wistfully into the windows of women’s clothing stores. He or she is engaged to Barbara, who has the brains of a bookend and says things like ‘’Here we are, two perfectly normal people about to be married and lead a normal life together!’’ Little does she know that Glen’s fondness for her has a lot to do with his lust for her white angora sweater. Their problems are discussed by a policeman, who remarks ‘’We only have one life to live - if we throw that away, what have we left?’’ and by a psychiatrist with very large horses painted on his tie...

They are hoping children watch; if they don’t get enough they’ll simply show it in schools.

“The left is really pushing this agenda.”

Just for white kids.
