Democrats May Regret Messing With America's Moms

We've all heard the story about the panicked mom summoning superhuman strength to lift a car off her trapped child. I'm not sure if it's ever really happened, but I am sure that any politician who interferes with a mother's ability to raise her children with the values she sees fit is playing with fire. The Democrats are holding the matches. Of all the radical ideas they've been trying to foist on America, messing with parents on K-12 education may be the one that does them in.

Democratic politicians have repeatedly failed to stand up to the "woke" crowd, the activist radical left wing of their own party. Remember the open borders question in the 2019 Democratic presidential primary debates? The moderators asked all the candidates to raise their hand if they wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossings. Almost every Democratic candidate raised a hand. Joe Biden was elected and took apart the Trump-era border policies that were working, and we now have record high levels of illegal border crossings and record low levels of arrests. Polls now show that opening the southern border isn't actually popular with regular Americans, and now it looks as if the Biden administration may be walking back its radical open-border position. Most prominently, the White House has announced plans to begin reinstating Trump's successful "Remain in Mexico" policy.

Democratic politicians around the country got caught up in the "defund the police" movement as well. It's hard to find something crazier than open borders, but getting rid of police is a new level. Are there police abuses? Do we need police reform? The answer is, of course, yes. But only a crazy person thinks getting rid of the police is a real answer. Now that crime is going up, Democratic politicians across the country are starting to reverse course.

These are clearly wacky ideas. It's hard to imagine the thought process that caused leading Democrats to promote them. Regardless, Democratic politicians' unwillingness to stand up to the insanity in their own party has clearly hurt them in the polls. Hispanic voters, independents and even suburban moms are getting turned off by the ideological, radical strain driving the agenda. It seems that even after scalding their hands on the hot stove, Democrats are coming back for more punishment. This time, they are helping the radicals screw around with children's education.

The things happening in American schools are truly scary. Despite the left's desire to keep it quiet and the liberal media's desire to whitewash it, parents are catching on -- and they are not happy.

On race, school districts around the country are normalizing racism. Corporate media will tell you otherwise. The New York Times asserted definitively just this morning that "conservatives have ... falsely claimed" divisive critical race theory is bleeding into schools. You'll find similar gaslighting at NBC, The Washington Post and several other left-wing media companies.

Meanwhile, a teacher in New York City made headlines when he complained about students and teachers being broken up by race for "anti-racism" training, wherein they were taught that "objectivity" and "individualism" were white attributes. A school in Cupertino, California, asked third graders to "deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their 'power and privilege,'" according to City Journal. And, finally, if critical race theorists aren't trying to indoctrinate children, why is the country's leading critical race theory guru hocking an "Antiracist Baby" picture book for infants?

There are countless examples. Kids may not be learning the "advanced legal theory" graduate schools offer, but it is clear to anyone who has not had a significant psychological break from reality that these concepts are downstream from that theory, and schools are adopting them.

Contrary to the views espoused by Martin Luther King Jr., these concepts are teaching students that race defines us. They are teaching kids to judge others based on race. As usual with the left, this insanity is packaged to sound nonthreatening. They call it "critical race theory." You shouldn't. Just call it racism. That's all it is.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a product of the segregated South, most eloquently pushed back on the insanity this week: "One of the worries that I have about the way that we're talking about race is that it either seems so big that somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past -- I don't think that's very productive -- or black people have to feel disempowered by race. I would like black kids to be completely empowered, to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that I don't have to make white kids feel bad for being white."

That's all there is to it. That's America. Outside of the radical left and a few crazy racists on the fringe, most Americans share Rice's vision. Parents should certainly have the right to instill these American ideals in their children. I wouldn't want to be the one getting in their way.

The second area of radicalization in our schools concerns the LGBTQ agenda. Two recent headlines highlight the insanity in our schools going on in the name of tolerance. First, in Loudoun County, Virginia, a young girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by a male student with a skirt on in a female bathroom. The school district allegedly attempted to cover up the assault and instead arrested the young girl's father when his complaints were viewed as endangering the school's bathroom policies. Second, teachers in Broward County, Florida, brought elementary school kids to a gay bar for a field trip. There are so many things wrong with this. Who takes elementary school kids to any bar for a field trip? Who thinks teaching kids that young any of this in school makes sense in the first place? It's literally insane.

Democrats may have made mistakes on the border and with policing, but there's a good chance that the school issues dwarf even those within the electorate. Parents have the right to teach their children their own values. That's a concept almost everyone agrees with. Yet, to date, the Biden administration's only response to parents' growing concerns was a Justice Department memorandum that equated concerned parents with domestic terrorists. That's a decision they are very likely going to regret.

Nah, the Moms love that there’s no more mean Tweets.

And Abortion

You are 55+ Years old, inflation is 10%+, gas is $10 a gallon and you are freezing in home because you can't afford to heat it, and you still have $50,000+ in Student loans for the gender studies degree.

But hey, none of that matters as long as you have unrestricted access to abortion, so gotta vote for those Dems.

[FormerFRLurker]

The women who voted for Biden are getting EXACTLY what they deserve.

And the women who didn't vote for Biden? What did they do to deserve their daughters being sexually assaulted in school restrooms by boys in skirts?

[Liz]

Even more startling for Democraps .......bringing in the big guns to campaign was a disaster.

McAuliffe’s poll nos sank like the Titanic AFTER he brought in top Dems to campaign for him............

Bidumb, Harris, Obumba........even drJill.

She got a sparse 36 at a rally which included her SS detail..../s.

[Arcadian Empire]

Excellent points.

[Arcadian Empire]

You are right.

[libertylover]

I believe in the LGBTQ agenda. By that I mean Let’s Get Biden To Quit!

Good one!

Obama pompously descended on Virginia’s governor’s race to denounce what he called “these phony trumped-up culture wars, this fake outrage that right-wing media peddles.” Brandon Michon, a 2005 Loudoun County High School graduate who now has three young children in the same district, observed that Obama is “tone deaf” for failing to recognize that parents are responsible for the well-being of their children.

_____________________________________________

McAuliffe sealed his own fate when he arrogantly declared, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

<><> Some 57% percent of Va parents disagree, in a poll of likely voters conducted by Fox News.

<><> A recent poll by Cygnal of likely voters shows Youngkin, tied with powerful Clinton crony McAuliffe, at 48% each.

<><> among parents of school-age children, who represent a quarter of the electorate, the Republican leads by a landslide margin of 56% to 39%.

<><> An Emerson College found that education was rated as the most important issue for Virginia voters this year, far outpacing Covid-19.

<><> Not only do parents and homeowners have a direct stake in the public schools, but all citizens are affected by what young people are taught there.

Kids having strokes is rare. They are conditioning us. I don’t watch much commercial TV, but I noticed quite a few commercials about heart attacks. There were so many and aimed at 40-50 year olds, I thought those too were vax related.

[glennaro]

The Democrat/Marxists are not just “messing” with American moms; they foolishly coming between Momma Bear and her cubs ... and they’re going to get bit ... hopefully right in their arse!

[ozarker]

Propaganda and mental conditioning works. Many leftist moms can’t wait to virtue signal that their spawn are vaxxed. They would have been at jonestown making their kids drink the koolaid.

[glennaro]

Many leftist moms can’t wait to virtue signal that their spawn are vaxxed

That's very true, but I suspect there are at least as many moms, likely even more moms when you include "leftist moms" who are aroused to action as what the government's plans for their children are revealed to them, who don't want anything coming between themselves and their children. It's innate ... it's instinctual.

[Liz]

Biden abandoned Democraps and the infighting over trillions of dollars in spending Biden needs for his dismal presidential legacy.

You ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.

McAuliffe’s poll nos sank like the Titanic AFTER he brought in Biden and top Dems to campaign.

This signals Hill Dems will run from Biden like scared rabbits.....to avoid his political kiss of death.

Stay tuned.

[SuperLuminal]

Sorry...
It’s the country’s moms’ vote that got us into this mess...

[the OlLine Rebel]

Yup.

Can you believe it only just occurred to me TODAY, that we could graft the LGB onto th TQI+.

Then I look it up and some have done it.

But I’d like to actually use what is already known…let’s go Brandon! I guess “to quit” is the best we can do to fit the stupidity and mock the movement with their own slogan.

Just like “my body my choice”.

[wgmalabama]

So true. Women are the biggest problems. Not all but by their nature are led by fear and emotion not logic and pride.

Men are retreating from women now. I don’t agree with retreating but understand why they are doing so.

[Organic Panic]

Promise them free stuff and they will sell their children to the democrats like they always do.

in Loudoun County, Virginia, a young girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by a male student with a skirt on in a female bathroom.

This is not alleged. The student was found guilty a few days ago.

The school district allegedly attempted to cover up the assault and instead arrested the young girl's father when his complaints were viewed as endangering the school's bathroom policies.

This is not alleged. The superintendent admitted that he knew of the rape after first denying it, and one Loudoun County School Board member resigned.

its a no-brainer for hospital ER’s - big bill to insurance, and expected increased frequency and attention to risk of same.

Good one!

Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction.

 

This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville.

 

On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone.

 

Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village.

 

Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines—because they displeased him—and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages—just by using his mind.

 

Now I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio.

 

This is Mr. Fremont. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. This is Mrs. Fremont. And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. But one day she forgot. She began to sing aloud. Now, the monster doesn't like singing, so his mind snapped at her, turned her into the smiling, vacant thing you're looking at now. She sings no more.

 

And you'll note that the people in Peaksville, Ohio have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because, once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror. This particular monster can read minds, you see. He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion.

 

Oh yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster. This is the monster. His name is Anthony Fremont. He's six years old, with a cute little-boy face and blue, guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge.

This is the Twilight Zone. Biden Administration.
