Science has come a long way. From muslims inventing everything before whitie, blacks building this country without whitie, scientists claiming climate change is real while the funding continued as they march to their agenda, to now students winning science awards for the gay and transgender agenda.

This is a scientific milestone to be sure. Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein: watch out!

If you say that males and females are the same, you get an A. If you say that they are different, as shown in the chromosomes, reproductive organs, and external characteristics, you are failed.

So much for “science”!

1. Look down the front of your pant.

2. Come to one of the two available conclusions.

3. Find something real to be concerned about.
