Some parents say they're keeping their kids home from school this week because of a Black Lives Matter school discussion that includes Queer and Trans Affirmations.

In some other school districts, students have been asked to make a pledge to accepting the affirmations, but not in Ames.

"In some states they have made a pledge to support the 13 principles, but we are really having conversations about accepting and affirming differences." Says Dr. Anthony Jones, Director of Equity for Ames Community School District.

He says in Ames schools the discussions are about making sure all students feel accepted.

"It's about affirming yourself first, and how you identify, and then helping our students to affirm and appreciate and value their classmates in their celebration of themselves." Jones says.

When secession happens Iowa,as well as 20 (or more) other states,will remain part of the United States of America. States like Kalifornia,New York,Maryland and Massachusetts will become the People’s Republic of Whatever.

Like blacks, they made it their own.

But for blacks, it’s never acceptable outside their group.

Funny how “queer” means “weird”. And that’s ok with abnormal homos. BTW, why is “queer” included in this grouping? Doesn’t it already mean “homo”? Isn’t that a redundancy?

Don’t despair. Some are blaming all the violence on whites, especially Antifa, while insisting BLM is blameless.

Get your children out of that looney bin of a school as fast as you can!

WTF?

“Queer and Trans Affirmations”
“13 principles”

It gets worse and worse and worse. What are they doing, requiring kids to recite “I pledge allegiance to rump ranging, and for which it stands, one poop chute, indivisible...”?

Principles of faggotry?

Two weeks into the Biden nightmare and we have this crap.

Our North Idaho region doesn’t have many minorities, but the NextDoor app always shows some happy neighborhood black kids out in front of a house jumping rope. They don’t even rotate their cover photo showing that one the proper 13% of the time. Nope, it’s up there 100% of the time.

Bull scheist. It's about marginalizing White students and making them feel guilty about something over which neither they nor their ancestors had control over.

These children are the descendants of a folk who, despite their own struggles and privations, labored and built a wonderful culture in the prairie wilderness.

How, precisely, does the Burning, Looting, and Murdering we witnessed between 2016 and 2020 square with these 13 inane, sophomoric “Guiding Principles?”

You know it! I know it! THEY know it! The Burn Loot Murder “Movement” is a Communist inspired insurrectionist movement/effort to overthrow the government of the United States!

BLM members are criminals! And should be treated as such!

It’s complete pandering, and as such you’re right. It is an insult to the intelligence of the people it’s aimed at.

Democrats pander to get votes while simultaneously strengthening the bonds of welfare and debt dependence. But this pales in comparison to what they do to children. They are simply evil and have lost their souls long ago

We need to call the elected school board members and POLITELY make their phones melt down with our outrage.

I really think there is something mentally “off” about most of the people who dominate the advertising industry.

.......

Bingo the only place you can pose the abnormal as normal and get away with it. In today’s non critical thinking society “ if I saw it on TV then it’s true” is the standard

No disagreement allowed.

Let's say that parents had the right to choose the curriculum for their children. I'd bet less then 1 out of 10 parents would choose to have transgender and LGBTQ issues as any part of any of it.

The left is the worst thing that's ever happened to America. We need to fight them because they're using our children to destroy our society.

if affirming the black lives matter and first doing so, makes sure that all lives matter.

White lives matter, because from that truth comes the ability to extend a loving hand towards all.

So why is this statement racist, and the one with the capitalized word black healing?

Answer, it is not. This is about putting down the heterosexual and the White. Which from here on out I will capitalize, because to do so shows not that Whites are superior, but to enhance healing in other colored people.

Watch for news that the homes of the children kept home this week receive visits from state Social Workers to ensure that the children are not being abused by their Right Wing parents or having their homosexual or trans aspirations suppressed.
