The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.”— Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
One of the nation’s largest, sharpest, and wealthiest school systems, Fairfax County, has announced a bright, new idea (to take effect in 2016) that will directly influence district students in grades seven through twelve. It’s not a faster way to learn math, a more creative way to write stories, or a better way to get into a college: It’s recommended changes to their family-life curriculum which include lessons on “sexual fluidity” and “spectrum,” the idea that there’s no such thing no such thing as 100 percent boys and 100 percent girls.
It makes so much sense. Obviously, if boys and girls are “gender fluid,” then they are also one and the same—not just separate but equal, but the same and equal. Scandinavian countries have nothing on us—we are so Progressive! Don’t you wish growing you’d been taught in school that your girl parts and his boy parts were all really the same? Biology is so 2010!
This isn’t warm, fuzzy, Thomas Jefferson’s “all men are created equal” type of equality, as in worth or value. This is the type of equality that relates to sameness or eradicating differences because they supposedly wreak a sense of inferiority (or superiority, as the case may be).

"I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didn’t need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing God’s wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didn’t cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near."

34 is pure Prager brilliance. Some of his best, of an excellent and prolific crop.
As heard on SteveCrowder in his interview with Milo Yianoppoulos from the U.K. - if there is no “female brain” or “male brain” then there is no basis of support for “Transgenders” having a different brain than their body. But if the “Transgender” condition is in fact an issue of a brain in one gender and the body of another gender, then you can’t be teaching kids they can invent their own identity - they have one, and its either male of female.
The trangender folks unfortunately have become socially attached to the “gay” activist community, when in reality a trangender is almost never “gay”; that is almost never having romatic attraction for the same gender the transgender person sees themselves as, mentally.
in fact that you as an individual be ultimately extinguished.

Another Reason to Homeschool.
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.
So it seems.
And it’s getting worse by the day.
Interesting, isn’t it, that we haven’t heard much from the public school defenders recently?
Hard to believe Fairfax has come to this. So glad my kids are long out, not sure what hope there is for our grands should mine settle here. It was pretty good in its day.
That old saying about ‘where men are men and women are women’ takes on more meaning every day.
