Crayola has joined the woke brigade with a vengeance: The activist left cannot leave anything alone, especially when it involves sex or sexuality

Here’s my rule: Any person, place, or thing that has sex as its central focus is something that is not healthy, whether for itself or for others. American corporations would do well to remember that—but of course, now that their entire management staff is filled with people who have graduated from college in the last 20 years years, they are incapable of keeping sex and sexuality out of their sights. The latest to fall is Crayola, which for no reason whatever decided that the way to celebrate crayons—a product associated with children—was to rhapsodize about a bearded lady who likes color.

We learned about Ms. Julian Gavino through Crayola’s Facebook page.

There’s nothing in the post about actual Crayola products. It’s all a celebration of an unhealthy-looking, mentally ill (with gender dysphoria), bearded lady in a wheelchair:

Gavino’s progressive neurological illness sounds very sad. But that doesn’t make her an appropriate celebratory figure for crayons, markers, or anything else Crayola sells.

I don’t know about you but, up until today, when I thought about Crayola, I thought about the 64 different crayons in the classic yellow and green Crayola box that’s been a backdrop to every American’s childhood since the early 1900s. (The 64-color box didn’t actually hit the market until 1958, at the height of the Baby Boom, but kids were using Crayolas beginning in 1903.)

Crayola crayons were not about sex or sexuality or gender identity or gender dysphoria or anything else. They were about different colors with which to draw and they were marketed relentlessly to America’s children. People tried to politicize Crayola by pointing out that the “flesh” colored crayon didn’t match the skin color of Blacks, Asians, or Hispanics

Since 1984, Crayola has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards.

That explains everything.

Rock Em Sock Em Robots?!?!?! Is nothing sacred?

Don't ask. It's how Curious George came down with monkeypox.

Lol! I guess that’s what guys would do. We ladies learn that matching one’s complexion to cosmetics is nearly impossible.
