I recommend reading “The Overton Window”. Stated simply, the idea is to continuously increase the window of acceptable behavior by yanking it open beyond its current bounds, knowing that the rest of society will force it back down somewhat, but the opening will actually be ratcheting further and further up the scale. The Left calls this “compromise”. I use words like “capitulation” and “too afraid of missing out on party invitations”. NEA leadership is a viper’s nest, going along with the rest of the leftist leadership as a coalition of the perverted so their particular vices aren’t singled out. Their mantra is the cry of “Everyone else is doing it (or worse)”.
This is not a new concept. It has been going on since,
“Did God actually say, ‘You[a] shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”
Something like Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s “defining deviancy down”? Originally said by the senator back in the 90s in reference to criminal behavior, it’s often applied now to popular culture in general...
