    Uuum, the books in the schools, others on reading lists. READ THEM!!!! Educate yourself. Can't even post pictures here because it would be banned=) There are videos of parents reading the pages in front of school administration. Wake up. You think this came out of nowhere and parents are just making it all up? Nobody cared about Trans anything until they started going after the kids. And the question is WHY? Why does an LGBT parade cancel itself for fear of breaking a law that NO OTHER parade has any issue breaking? Sexual displays in front of children? Sounds VERY easy NOT to do=) Books with porn in them in school? WHY?

    I won't educate you. Look at the books and wonder WHY are they there? Why kids and why not inform the parents? Why just put them there secretly and then get outraged when parents go WTF? Think WE as in parents are allowed to think WTF. I understand that those who think its no big deal, don't have kids and that would make sense. You don't have kids. It doesn't concern YOU. So leave it to the grownups.

    You made a point that the child was not undergoing this "treatment" against their will. This willingness does not justify the act. The example I gave was persuading a child to take street drugs. Their willingness does not make it less of a crime. Good judgement and the ability to consider long term consequences is not a part of a childs thought process. This is why we don't sell them alcohol, tobacco, or firearms.

    Kids aren't being forced to take drugs.
    It's after counseling and education on the process of transitioning with the acceptance from parents who are helping their children.

    of course we do. as we. and you, should. "

    your project of "reducing diversity" only really occurs when a society faces a generation or so of prolonged warfare or deprivation.

    What is wrong with that?
    What is wrong with treating all people of all kinds with dignity and respect?

    Why don't you actually READ the books certain schools are recommending or carrying in their libraries, that parents have a problem with? EDUCATE YOURSELF!!! Then come back and explain why its appropriate? Thanks. If you're going to comment or not agree with something, at least have a clue what you actually have an issue with, instead of just imaging its all made up? VERY easy to inform yourself. School board meetings are on video with parents reading the books. TikTok is LOADED with videos of kids in school watching material that has no place in school, or teachers discussing or preaching about topics that have no place, most recently the video of an LGBT video being played in Math class. Thanks.

    If there was you'd have some links backing up your claim.

    If you make a claim, at least have a clue and offer up proof of your claim.
    Then the exact thing you complain about will be known and can be discussed.

    So, where's this oral sex you say is taught. Link it.

    Thats what I said. They are being persuaded that their mental issues can be improved by the use of drugs that induce a disease, blocking the human body from developing naturally, followed by irreversible cosmetic surgery to alter their outer appearance.

    That's a Straw Dog orgy, right there. Trump was the most pro-Gay president that the GOP has ever elected. He spoke out for Gay marriage nearly a decade before Obama and Hillary did. He had the first openly gay cabinet officer in US history. And in fact, DeSantis has an ad out attacking Trump for openly support the full inclusion of Gay American in National life, which has left me liking DeSantis a lot less.

    But back to your question, in the opening post: Are you sure?

    Surprise: Dem governor in WI signs budget defunding DEI in universities

    '“For people on the left, DEI has become their new religion. They are they trying to make sure everybody is evangelized on campus, that’s there only one acceptable viewpoint. That’s not what I think taxpayers should be funding.”

    Most of us agree with that.

    'University of Wisconsin hired a new chief diversity officer in June who is making an annual salary of $225,000, the AP reported. In total, University of Wisconsin DEI employees make $15.6 million annually.'

    Those folks sure make a boatload of money.

    That is the choice they can make with the approval of their legal guardian. As it should be.

    In understood your position long ago and strongly disagree for the reasons I listed. As a legal guardian, I have decided that my 16 your old son is old enough to carry a gun and get a face tattoo.

    That's the duplicitous message miniTrump is selling. It's not going well.

    Trump has no ideology other than being pro-himself. He'll say anything that gets him on the news. Even if that means saying one thing and the opposite all in the same breath. The post you qouted is about MAGA ideology. Ideologically, this is expressed by MAGAs leading fascist ideologue: DeSantis.

    "MAGA ideology," I like it. It would be fun to define. Expressing self-ingratiating/aggrandizing platitudes would be at the top of the list.

    Good for him. IF those are his choices.
    And good for other kids that can have their choices algined with parents choices be made. Without you, me, or the gov't forbidding it.

    I am the first to oppose unnecessary government interference in our lives. A child may consent to having sex with an adult, but it is still rape and I expect government to prosecute the offender. Why? Because the inability to consider long term consequences makes them easily persuaded.

    Those persuading a child to accept drug-induced disease to hinder the natural development of their bodies, and then have their private parts removed, are in the same category.


    The right to swipe your scalpel ends where the child's body begins.

    BTW, being a parent does not automatically equal doing what is in the child's best interest. Many children are taken away from parents for actions a lot less damaging than what we are discussing here today.

    Even though MAGA was initiated by Trump, he doesn't have the brains to even HAVE an ideology. So the apostle of the MAGA ideology is DeSantis.

    MAGA was a campaign slogan. Is awful as trump is, the other party is producing results that make someone like him electable.
