1/ 🚨ALERT: Lee Montessori public charter school in Washington DC is rolling out ABAR (Anti-Bias/Anti-Racist) Education to pre-schoolers, ages 3-5, to "support their life-long journey in becoming anti-bias, anti-racist social justice leaders" and "affirm children's identities."
2/ The ABAR Education will "permeate all subject areas and school practices" and wants 3-5-year-olds to "understand the implications of [their] own race... in the promotion of, or struggle against racism."
3/ The ABAR Education will give children (again 3-5-year-olds) a "shared language" to understand the new concepts, which consist of concepts from Intersectionality, gender ideology, and Critical Race Theory.
4/ The Education will explicitly promote activism:

"Building on identity development, branching out to diversity, justice, and activism" as well as "navigate complex social situations through the language of empowerment."
5/ Pre-schoolers will be asked to "examine race, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, language, neurodiversity, religion, ability, or any other aspect of identity both in the social context, and... have the opportunity to understand their own role in this work."
6/ Children will also be taught about "breaking the gender binary & pronouns" through literature such as "They, She, He easy as ABC" and "I am Jazz."

1/ If you are male or female and have gender dysphoria you are allowed to take hormones to make your body either more masculine or feminine to align with your "gender identity."

Question: Why is this only offered to people who want to appear as the *opposite* sex?

Continued ⬇️
2/ Suppose you are a skinny, very effeminate looking male. You identify as a man, but you aren't as masculine looking as you'd like to be. This is a source of much mental anguish for you. You feel as though you'd greatly benefit, psychologically, if you looked more "manly."
3/ Is this not also a form of gender dysphoria? On what basis do we not give this man prescription testosterone so that they can look even *more* masculine? Wouldn't denying this person testosterone to masculinize their body, while providing it to female patients to help...

1/ 🚨BREAKING: Lawsuit filed today against educational agencies, teachers, principal, & CEO responsible for hosting workshops requiring children to make public professions about their racial, sexual, gender & religious identities, some of which were singled out for interrogation.
2/ Educators directed the plaintiff "to reveal his identities in a controlled, yet non-private setting, to scrutiny and official labeling," and are "coercing him to accept and affirm politicized and discriminatory principles and statements that he cannot in conscience affirm."
3/ The educators "repeatedly threatened William Clark with material harm including a failing grade and non-graduation if he failed to comply with their requirements."

My good friend @drrollergator has been insisting I watch the so-bad-it's-good movie Assassin 33AD. I have little idea of what to expect, though from the photo there appears to be crosses and an alien ship? A planet? 🤔

Anyway, here I go...
So far the acting is exhibiting that mixture of extreme inexperience and cocky confidence that make for excellent bad movies. 🍿
Based on the cover I predict the "smart" character I've been introduced to is actually an alien. But it really may just be his terrible acting giving off those alien vibes. 🍿

1/ The Dalton School in Manhattan is having a race meltdown. It's absolutely insane. Teachers are holding the school for ransom with demands, but they're so extreme the school will crumble if they give in. But they'll crumble if they don't, too!

Here are some of the demands:
2/ "Dalton has... actively encouraged the sort of thinking that is now biting them in the ass. And the obvious irony is that if Dalton is 'systemically racist,' a belief they themselves promote, it is progressives who bear the responsibility." thenakeddollar.blogspot.com/2020/12/breaki…
3/ Other schools & universities should take note. Giving in to this ideology is not a winning strategy. Hiring diversity officers will not improve your situation. Diversity officers are good at one thing: finding reasons to justify hiring more diversity officers.

Individual cells are not themselves male or female, bodies are. Sex is something that develops.
Sex is a property of a whole organism. Cells may harbor chromosomes contain genes that may guide the development of whole organisms into a sex category, but the individual cells are not themselves male or female.
Analogy: We wouldn't say that single cells have a "face". A face is a property of a whole organism. Cells contain chromosomes with genes that guide the development of faces, but neither the genes themselves nor any individual cells have a face.

1/ 🚨 THREAT LETTER sent by attorney last month to a public school Superintendent. Mother and son objected to the content of a mandatory "Sociology of Change" class that teaches only white people can be racist and created a "hostile and divisive educational environment."
2/ The class required "reciting and affirming a predetermined and politically loaded worldviews" and "served no apparent purpose beyond ideological thought reform."

Actual class material:
3/ Students were required to to "publicly profess their sexual, racial, and religious identities so that the teacher and others can scrutinize, interrogate and label those identities in a derogatory manner." Claims classes were "compelled speech" and "psychologically abusive."
