A balanced focus group on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday morning surely didn't go quite as producers expected when the Democrat and the independent voter both found themselves agreeing with the Republican on key issues, including "woke culture" in schools.

The discussion, moderated by anchor Margaret Brennan, started off pretty tame and predictable, with participants describing the effects of a sputtering economy, inflation, and high gas prices on their own lives. But when the topic turned to raising children in America, even Brennan seemed surprised by the level of agreement.

What are your biggest concerns about raising children in America right now?" Brennan asked John, the self-identified Republican on the panel.

"The whole woke culture affecting our children," John responded. "All these elementary schools and middle schools having woke culture pushed on them from the LGBT plus community for sexual identity and gender. We should be pushing the actual school studies, math, social studies, science. Not, you know, gender studies or sexual identification."

Seemingly hoping for a counterpoint, Brennan next turned to Lashawn, the Democrat, and asked her to "weigh in on this."

"I can also agree with some of his points," Lawhawn said. "I say sex education, I feel like some things are brought to the children’s attention, they wouldn’t even think about." And you have eight kids," said Brennan. "I imagine you have some pretty specific ideas in your mind when you’re speaking about this?"

"Yes, I do. Yes," Lashawn responded. "Children aren’t – you know, they’re really influenced. You can teach them one thing at home, but when they go to school, they’re just as much influenced by their teachers and their surroundings. And we should have more input, the parents, of what we want them to learn."

We are a Constitutional Republic, but our system does depend on the will of We The People. There are democratic elements to our Constitutional system.

But, clearly, there is no real mass of people out there who want this Progressive nightmare. It’s not popular with much of anyone. Yet it is shoved down our throats by an Oligarchy of extremists. And if you get in the way of the Oligarchs, then you are a “threat to our democracy”.

Lashawn is obviously an domestic terrorist.

See? The media isn't all about pushing the DNC agenda! Not at all! And just before an election?

What a giant crock. Nice try. Too little, too late.

[skeeter]

Right, just as leftists realize they’re facing a political near extinction event. Surely the producers don’t think Americans are this gullible.

[ckilmer]

november should be an extinction event for democrats.

people cannot be as stupid as democrats presume them to be.

[pburgh01]

The pitch this year...They are taking away your baby-killing privileges, trannies should be able to play on your daughter’s volleyball team and Jan 6th is #2 right behind the killing of Christ. The Red Tsuamani will not make them wake up.

And Fox News now has Jeb Bush as a contributor. Media 💩

[FlipWilson]

Quote: “And Fox News now has Jeb Bush as a contributor.”

So that is why the chyron said “Jeb Bush, Fox News Contributor, Please Clap.”

I've noticed that a lot of Democrats seem to react to things like this by saying it is simply a distraction. That Republicans are making mountains out of molehills, and trying to start culture wars over minor things.

My response to that has been "if those issues are so unimportant, then why don't Democrats just drop all those issues so Republicans can't use them as wedge Drop the DEI, drop all the transgender stuff, etc.."

Somehow, they don't like that idea.

They have bee in the 🚽 for a pretty long time now. So, who’s next? Pete strozk? Lisa page?

“Yet it is shoved down our throats by an Oligarchy of extremists”

So how do we fight them? They’ve been wiping the floor with our side.

I believe the media lies but I also think this time-because of their stubbornness and hate for Trump-they are truly going to be shocked at these results. 25-35 House seats is possible. The state legislatures. The Senate. A Blood Red Tsunami is coming. 70% polled said the media is a threat to democracy.

[oldvirginian]

“Jan 6th is #2 right behind the killing of Christ.”

According to the present Democrat party Christ was just another insurrectionist who got His just reward. Need another example and I’m at a loss.

[TigerClaws]

Doesn’t matter.

Control the instructions and politics are - as Andrew Breitbart said - down steam of culture.

Liberals own the language. They write the dictionaries. Biden asked this week if he supports “gender affirming” for minors. What’s that? The opposite. It means gender denying and chopping off the healthy penises and breasts of minor children.

You opposite it and it’s now proposed you’re not using the “affirming pronouns” is a felony.

Libs control the media. Trans is trendy and social media, tv, movies all push it on children. This is the next generation. Controlling the future. Controlling what is acceptable.

Obama was against gay marriage then “evolved.” Opposition now is outside the new Overton Window pushed to the left. It’d be homophobic abd grounds for cancellation.

Libs have taken over law schools and medical schools.

Dark days ahead. Dem voters may oppose all this but it’s a package deal.

"Yes, I do. Yes," Lashawn responded. "Children aren’t – you know, they’re really influenced. You can teach them one thing at home, but when they go to school, they’re just as much influenced by their teachers and their surroundings. And we should have more input, the parents, of what we want them to learn.

It's true parents have an opportunity to 'deprogram' their children at home, BUT! But the sheer amount of time these tranny, lesbian and homo teachers have to spend brainwashing our children is difficult to beat. It is even more difficult when your children are subjected to more-easily-influenced peer pressure from school.

The ONLY way to combat this is to go at ANY instance of a 'woke' tranny teacher or school board and hit them HARD. Show up to their meetings, call them out and then vote against them, each and every time when one of them pops their stinking heads up.

Even Biden’s teacher, Obama realized (last week on radio) to push back on woke before the midterm elections...

[MikelTackNailer]

I laughed throughout Margaret's very bad day. First she was bubbly to have Pelosi on until the decrepit witch kept cutting her off - Brennan realizing Nanzi's just as delusional as Biden if not more so.

Then she had a Phizer guy on who didn't give her the push for child vaccinations she was expecting. This after she practically begged Fauci for permission to jab her own baby a few weeks ago.

After the guest panel melted down on her I thought she was going to start crying. I could imagine the DNC calling her on the carpet with "Lucy, you got some splaining to do!" Made my day.
