Apologize for the truth? Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

His FIRST mistake was responding and trying to engage in a discussion.

It was downhill from there.

We aren’t allowed to say that children should have a mother and a father. Or we need to specify nowadays, a male, biologically born male who has always been male, along with a female, a biological female who has always been female. We aren’t allowed to say such things.

I never understand how we always get dragged into side issues such as lesbian couples, and somehow it’s a slam against lesbians to say children benefit from a father. Ditto we get into the single motherhood dispute, in which it is taken as a slam against single mothers, if you say children need a father too.

Our culture has devolved in some ways. This is one. We can’t make common sense statements about families anymore.

That boy needs to man up. Any more of this apologizing when it’s not necessary and he will only be suitable for roles formerly handled by Don Knotts.

Why does he have to apologize for what 90% know to be true?

Bowing to a very small vocal minority.

Speaking the truth is now an act of hate.

“There are things that you need from your father,” he said.

I am sure the misandry fueled, psychosis driven proglibs instantly snapped into group-think on that one.

I told one of my former students was in from college today and came to see me. I told him this:

“Be careful. You are no longer allowed to tell the truth. Act accordingly.”

Of course, attending college, he already knew what I was talking about.

Ironically, I just exposed myself in a discussion about ‘opinions’ and made a few of my opinions known once it was clear that some positing their own were either clearly biased or disturbed that others would have an position challenging their own.

I laid it out that my positions were not opinions. His mistake was not taking a position on the matter.

The response to his truth is exactly as I outlined, an ironic reinforcement of my position on the matter: Outrage and confirmation bias guide the emotionally-weak.

Sadly, he let his opinion be defeated by irrational outrage: He victimized himself.

If truth breeds controversy & conflict, I’m loaded for bear. Crews is pathetic.

This fact really stuns me, in this politically correct world we live in now. Making a statement to the effect that fathers are important, is perceived as somehow being an attack on single mothers, on lesbians, on divorced people, etc. Yet that is where we are, sadly.

Just about any real male can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad!
