How the Schools Got Queered

Years back, when I lived in Northern California, a huge controversy erupted in a town called Novato about implementing a pro-LGB curriculum and movie called That's a Family in the elementary schools. Parents were outraged, including liberals, and it made national news for months.

California was the epicenter for gay education/indoctrination in the schools, and I was fully enmeshed in these issues, with kids in public and private schools in Marin and San Francisco. The school my kids attended at the time was grappling with the same That's a Family brouhaha. I led the opposition, with tremendous support from mostly liberal parents, including one LGB parent, who said: "At this age, all my child wants to do is play, be with friends, and is not thinking about these issues. It's just not age-appropriate."

How did we get from there to Disney opposing Gov. DeSantis's Parental Rights in Education bill and bragging about outwardly "queering" entertainment for our kids?

In the early 2000s, most parents tolerated some political correctness in the schools, even if they didn't agree 100%, and they generally accepted the diversity and anti-bullying curricula being promoted. The dirty little secret was that these efforts were initially drummed up, pushed, and driven by well funded LGB activist organizations, like GLSEN, whose long-term goal was to "queer the schools" under the guise of looking out for the kids.

FLOTUSs issue was anti-bullying.

One lesson from the priest/scoutmaster/teacher child rape scandal was that people who intend to rape minors look for jobs around minors.

Ah, remember the good old days when the alphabet people had only 3 letters? Getting old.

when I was a kid it was unthinkable for a queer to be a teacher ... they were considered mentally ill by just about everyone ...

It was easy once we failed to shoot down the trial balloon that stealthily shifted the basis of our endowed human rights away from our fundamental common humanity to include specific sexual aberrant behaviors and gender-identity dysfunction.

In other words, establishing the false premise that "Gay people" have rights that protects their behavior while, subsequently, the rest of society is no longer allowed to deem a behavior as being inconsistent with one's moral standard. "Gay rights, LGBTQ+ rights" are nothing more than the forcing of society away from the Judeo-Christian morality upon which society is anchored and without which freedom and self-governance is impossible.

We are, inadvertently, answering Hamilton's "important question" regarding "whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force." The Left asserts, adamantly, we are incapable of such good governance via "reflection and choice." Sadly, we may be proving them right.

Like Willie Sutton, who robbed banks because that’s where the money was, pervs and pedos go where the impressionable kids are.

Like the General said “the only good queer is a dead queer”

I have finally come to the conclusion that there are three genders: Male, Female & Demoncrats.

What I find concerning is that being transgender has become the norm and if you listen to the “experts” even toddlers can be transgendered. While I’m sure there are very small number of people who think they are the wrong sex, this number is only a small fraction of the population. The woke crowd would have us believe that gender dysphoria is as common and normal as being left handed. Naive parents who buy into this woke ideology and the so-called therapists who have never seen a kid that they won’t diagnose a having gender dysphoria are pushing this. The trans gender therapists would be out of business if every 3 year old boy who picked up his sisters doll weren’t diagnosed as needing puberty blockers and willingly being dressed as a girl and given a girls name by idiot parents.

The swimmer “Lia” is the the best example of how pervasive this idiocy has become. “Lia” is a hulking male who had a mediocre run as a male collegiate swimmer. He/she “decided” to become female by adopting a new name and popping a few hormone suppressive drugs and has suddenly become a collegiate all star by beating biological females. It is obvious from the bulge in his crotch that he still has male genitalia and has male physique. Yet the media is fawning over “her” accomplishments and denigrating anyone who would dare to state the obvious that “Lia” is a sick charade and unfairly competes with biological females.

One of the final items of the first “Gay Rights Platform” in 1972:

Elimination of all age of consent laws.

Let that sink in.

It happened when they kicked GOD out of the schools, brought in teachers unions, created the Dept of Ed and made it a cabinet position and allowed the Government to run rampant within the institutions. NOT to mention the takeover of the colleges and universities. Damned doped up hippies.
