Now this Babylon Bee article seemed more than a bit outrageous. In my state of Oregon though, I have no problem following a pattern of “grooming”. As my son and daughter in law faced a decision about enrolling the children in public schools, she asked a principal she knew from church his opinion. He said he would definitely not want his grandchildren involved in public education here.

A couple from their church was informed that based on a survey given to entering middle school children, their son could benefit from the LGBTQ club. They were called repeatedly and always refused. Finally, they asked if they could visit a club meeting and see the curriculum. The school answered no to both requests. The next call was from the State of Oregon expressing their concerns. The couple immediately quit their jobs and moved out of state. My son visited a middle school and saw ubiquitous posters carrying inspirational affirmations of gender fluidity.

The library at Lincoln City proudly proclaims “A gender affirming closet” at Taft High. Now students will be able to choose clothes, makeup, and accessories to express themselves at school even though parents do not support those choices.

Notice this information comes from the coast and central Oregon and not from the liberal enclaves found in Portland, Eugene, or Ashland.

After “grooming” comes treatment. I could find one source that would discuss conditions under which currently the therapy and surgery could be applied to children and certainly those entering puberty meet the definition of children. I also found confirmation of this policy direction at Harvard for “gender affirming care”. Many links are available, but here are three links with two for Harvard and one for a cutting-edge hospital:

It would be funny if it wasn’t true.

The original Hippocratic Oath stated that a doctor must not provide medicines or other treatment to cause an abortion.

Meanwhile in Oregone schools, this is happening and this is not satire! It is grim reality!:

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown says illegal immigrants are “the heart and soul of our culture and the backbone of our economy”

Then this!

Oregon students shouldn’t have to prove they can write or do math to get a diploma, lawmakers decide!

Students in the class of 2021 did not have to prove they could write or do math at a basic level to earn their diplomas. A bill headed to Gov. Kate Brown would prohibit any such requirement at least until 2027.A bill to prohibit Oregon schools from requiring students to show they can read, write and do math at a basic high school level is headed to Gov. Kate Brown after lawmakers gave final approval Wednesday. (The bill was sign by the governor, and it is now in effect in Oregone!)

The idea is to hit pause on the requirements, in place since 2009 but already suspended during the pandemic, at least until the class of 2024 gets their diplomas and for Oregon to thoughtfully reexamine its graduation requirements in the meantime. A report recommending what the new standards should be is due to the Legislature and Oregon Board of Education by September 2022.

But since Oregon has long insisted it would not impose new graduation requirements on students who have already begun high school, new requirements would not take effect until the class of 2027 at the very earliest. So at least five more classes could be expected to graduate without needing to demonstrate roughly 10th grade level proficiency in math and writing.

The decision to remove the skills requirement was largely but not entirely a party-line one, with Democrats staunchly opposing the proficiency rules and Republicans decrying what they see as a lowering of academic standards.

A spokesperson for Brown told The Oregonian/OregonLive Wednesday she has yet to decide whether she will sign the bill, veto it or allow it to become law without her signature. (She proudly signed the bill!)

Oregone, unlike other states, did not require students to pass a particular standardized test or any test at all. Students could show their ability to use English and do math via about five different tests or by completing an in-depth classroom project judged by their own teachers. In reality, most schools relied primarily on standardized tests and most students easily passed them.

But demonstrating proficiency proved most challenging for students who learned English as a second language, students with disabilities and students of color.

Officials on the Oregon Board of Education, when they enacted the “essential skills” graduation requirement more than a decade ago, said they hoped no student would be denied a diploma for lacking the skills but that schools would step up and help juniors and seniors who hadn’t mastered enough English or math to do so. Many high schools created special math and writing workshop classes for seniors who needed to demonstrate those skills to get their diplomas.

The bill calls on the diverse committee studying graduation requirements to come up with a recommendation “with the goal of ensuring that the processes and outcomes related to the requirements for high school diplomas are equitable, accessible and inclusive.”

It is simple, Eliminating schools as places to learn and making them serve as day care centers all day. Beginning with breakfast, morning breaks, lunch, afternoon breaks and a dinner before going home. Maybe midnight basketball.

Teachers and their unions will still be paid. Any so called classes will be conducted by supposedly graduates, and the highly paid teachers will monitor those former classes on Zoom.

More Gardeners, janitors and other custodial care at the former schools will require more union workers, managers and whatevers!

So our taxes will go up for the above B$!

>Harvard Med School Officially Replaces Oath ‘Do No Harm’ With ‘Mutilate Kids For Money’,
Not really new, they have been doing it for decades to babies (boys only) under the guise of “circumcision”. They don’t even bother to wait until the boys are old enough to be coached into saying they want it, let alone until they’re old enough to know what’s being chopped off. What’s the big fuss now about going back to cut off a bit extra?

While genital mutilation of small children was once frowned upon as barbaric and sadistic, Harvard Medical School has resumed the practice after realizing they can make a truckload of cash. "

Nailed.
