Reality dictates. And the reality is, there are 2 genders and schools are doing a HUGE disservice by trying to brainwash kids into believing otherwise. Parents, get your kids out of those schools. And taxpayers, defund them. If they don’t like it, then march on the schools and shut them down.
Where people are making a mistake is in assuming that the polls put out by school districts are meaningful. Those polls are what they call push polls. They are intended to shape opinion, not measure it. They aren’t interested in what the public thinks. I think that the push polls polls are part of the Delta method of public opinion shaping.
Another part of this method are public meetings, where they divide the crowd into groups, where they are told to discuss issues or statements which are placed on the Black board and then the group leader (pre-assigned) will deliver the group’s opinion statement. Potential troublemakers are identified ahead of the meeting and the assigned group leaders are supposed focus on changing their opinion. In the end, if the dissenters have still not changed their mind, they are given a job to do, which makes them a part of the movement, instead of a part of the opposition.
The majority may not “dictate”, but a broad majority is certainly a factor to be contended with. A truculent minority should be aware of the danger of poking either the bear or a hornets’ nest, and this, the Fairfax County school board has gone out of their way to provoke and confront the majority opinion of the parents in the district.
Wrath be upon their heads. As Mr. T used to say, “I pity the fool”.
