“I hate to sound like a grumpy old man (which I’ve become) or even a Republican (which I’m not!) but this idea that kids can’t be in a setting where every adult has been screened seems bat-guano insane,” wrote Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Will Bunch.”

...these idiots always accentuate the fact they aren’t Republicans. Like it’s a disease. The “bat-guano” insanity is because of virtue signaling, hypocritical a-holes like you Will!!

So stupid.

I don’t celebrate Xmas, but we sure do drive around and look at Christmas lights. Even if I didn’t, I wouldn’t care. Not my business.

I also have a giant menorah in my front years, real oil lanterns. (Originally a ‘gig at the HOA that ticketed me for not decorating for Xmas, that is now a neighborhood tradition.)

My neighbors love it, too.

That picture. And we wonder why Christ has turned His back on the United States? He will give it to the basest of men. Maybe they will treat fags and trannies, etc, as they deserve.

Dan 4:17 the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Do parents really need the school board to “tell” them they can have a parade?

Have the parade anyway.

That comment caught my eye, too. These idiots know the Dem party of yore is gone and is not coming back, yet they won’t acknowledge it went full commie, they won’t open their eyes, they won’t consider leaving it, and they still have to virtue-signal that they hate the Republican alternative.

He is exhibiting classic “battered wife syndrome.” Is there anything more pathetic?

Kobe Bryant’s High School District. Not necessarily relevant but an interesting fact.

That’s right. One person craps their pants, everyone has to wear diapers.

Amy Buckman, the director of school and community relations for the Lower Merion School District, was quoted as saying they “continue to work with local law enforcement and county experts about what’s best.”

She also argued that not all of the district’s students celebrate Halloween, and those who do not had to remain in the library during past parades.

Golly gee willikers, those poor students trapped in the library. At a school, no less. The horror of it all. I guess they end up celebrating Halloween anyway.

You can’t get much more inclusive than a bunch of people pretending to be something they are not.

1958, my Catholic school decided to NOT have an 8th grade boat ride to Rye,NY Playland. The nuns were not happy about the recent boy-girl parties that were happening and cancelled the trip to punish us. A couple of mothers got on the telephone and organized the whole shebang! No 8th grader went to school that day...they were all on an excursion boat on LI Sound headed for Rye!

They changed them to “ Story and Fairy Tale” parades here years ago.
The kids dressed up in costume and had fun.

The Pennsylvania school district will probably replace the Halloween Parade with a Drag Queen party for the kids.

Lower Marion is the most liberal township in PA. No real surprises here.

“and those who do not had to remain in the library during past parades.”

That’s where I spent a lot of my time in school, surrounded by actual books.

The horror…the horror.
