Crayola has joined the woke brigade with a vengeance: The activist left cannot leave anything alone, especially when it involves sex or sexuality
American Thinker ^ | 07/24/2022 | Andrea Widburg

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

No wonder the fags are in such an uproar over being called “groomer”. They might as well be driving around playgrounds in a panel van with “free candy” spray painted on the side.

The “flesh” color didn’t match all that many Caucasians either.

My corp is so woke it’s become comical. They even held a drag show during working hours. Grrrr.

They celebrate Asian appreciation, Hispanic month, black month along with Juneteenth, gay pride, woman, trans this and that, diversity and inclusion. To name a few woke inititatives.

All this...except for...wait for it...white, Chrisitan / Jewish, conservative males.

I keep waiting for the pendulum to swing back, but I think the pendulum has fallen off.

The Decadence of Western Civilization! Decadence is a horrible disease which afflicts an entire civilization. It is relentless, destructive, and apparently universally fatal.

How tragic that Western Civilization, with all its gifts and blessings, and the USA, its greatest manifestation, should die.

"The worldly hope men set their hearts upon
Turns ashes, or anon,
Like snow upon the desert's dusty face,
Lighting a little hour or two, was gone.

Ah that spring should vanish with the rose,
That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close,
The nightingale that in the branches sang
Ah whence and whither flown again, who knows?

Would that some winged angel e'er too late
Arrest the yet unfolded scroll of fate
And make the stern recorder otherwise unregister
Or quite obliterate."

Is it hopeless? Once decadence has infected a nation, can the nation recover and return to ascendancy?

Donald Trump believed that it could. So convinced was he that he risked everything--a considerable amount in his case--to save his beloved America from decadence and destruction. (He also gave his Presidential salary to charity.)

Can America be saved? Only God knows. Only time will tell. Only the American People can determine their fate.

This is an insane sickness, and it’s not going away. It’s infecting more and more people who don’t have a single clue about what is right, wrong, reasonable or unreasonable. They don’t know how to think. They just follow the formless mass of humanity that makes up the ignorant herd.

Whatever latest fad or insanity there is, they run to jump on its foaming-at-the-mouth bandwagon.

They are not capable of seeing the obvious fact, proven by science, that there are two instances of homo sapiens, a male and a female, set up that way by millions of years of adaptation to the environment and as a way of outdistancing bacteria as they multiply and adapt so as to try to infect us.

Incapable of thinking critically, they follow the bleating, ignorant sheep.

And children. They can’t pump this garbage into our kid’s minds fast enough.

Adaptation couldn’t accomplish that if it had a trillion years to do so.
