1/ 🚨 BREAKING: Democracy Prep Public School concedes emergency injunctive relief to @GabsClark5's son William Clark for Critical Race Theory "graded identity confession and labeling exercises."
This is a big early win, but it is only the beginning. More granular details below.
2/ The Clark family made 5 original demands:
1. Expunge William's failing "Sociology of Change" grade.
2. Permit William to enroll in an alternative course.
3. Have the Principal personally deliver the updated report card to William.
Continued...
3/ 4. Enjoin and restrain Defendants and their affiliates and agents from conducting “graded identity confession and labeling exercises.”
5. Declare that such exercises are unlawful.
4/ Democracy Prep Public School has conceded the first 3 requests. In doing so, they claim that this relief means that William no longer has a claim to "irreparable harm" in terms of affecting graduation and college applications.
5/ The School demands that "Court take the currently-scheduled preliminary injunction hearing set for April 14, 2021 off calendar and deny Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunctive relief."
6/ In effect, the School has conceded the time-sensitive "emergency relief" aspect of the case, and kicked the can down the road regarding the other 2 aspects of the case:
– Prevent “graded identity confession and labeling exercises”
– Declare that such exercises are unlawful
7/ This is a big win for @GabsClark5 and her son William! But this case is far from over. Currently the school is able to continue with the "graded identity confession and labeling exercises" with all other students.
The Canadian government is funding these online educational material for children. That first paragraph is absolutely barking mad. teentalk.ca/learn-about/ge….
"Gender identity is how a person feels and who they know them self to be when it comes to their gender." 🤨
I also love how, on a site ostensibly for information on gender, sexuality, and sexual health, they chose to include "(de)Colonization" and "Diversity and Discrimination."
I'm publishing a full refutation of this ridiculous piece on my Substack tomorrow. Dr. Vilain is often touted by TRAs as the foremost expert on this topic, but his arguments are shockingly bad.
It's going to be a free post because I want to reach as many people as possible. I want to defeat this ideology, and paywalls won't help in that regard.
But if you'd like to support my ability to keep these coming, please consider becoming a subscriber. colinwright.substack.com
Scientific American once again beclowns itself by publishing pseudoscientific nonsense denying sex differences in sports, and appropriates intersex people to argue that non-intersex male athletes should be allowed to compete as females. scientificamerican.com/article/trans-…
The article claims that "there is no scientific case for excluding them." I would just like to point you to a 2021 review paper in Sports Medicine that makes the scientific case in intimate detail. Surely the authors must know of its existence.
As I've said before, I view defending not just sex diffs but the reality of biological sex itself as reality's last stand. If/when the levee completely breaks on this issue, then we've lost our collective tether to reality and all the dominoes fall.
1/ 🚨 ALERT: Plaintiffs Gabriella & William Clark reply to Democracy Prep Public School (DPAC) on abusive Critical Race Theory program.
"A school cannot, under the guise of 'curriculum,' invade its students’ consciences and require them to affirm beliefs they find repugnant."
2/ DPAC denies that W. Clark was compelled to say anything or profess any particular belief.
Plaintiffs reply that the required, graded assignments were a form of compelled speech.
"Speech is compelled if a speaker will 'suffer a penalty' for declining to speak."
3/ DPAC insisted speech was not compelled because W. Clark was not required to "publicly" affirm his identities.
Plaintiffs: Not true, because W. Clark was required to enter the statements on Google documents accessible by his teacher, principal, and other employees.
1/ I think a lot of this could simply be due to a re-definition of what "gender" means to some Millennials and GenZ. If your sexuality is now defined according to what "gender identity" (as opposed to sex) you're attracted to, then this would augment the number of LGB people.
2/ And since "gender identity" is being largely defined according to identification with sex-based stereotypes, and being trans is to simply not "identify" with the stereotypes associated with your birth sex, then this will drive up the number of people identifying as trans.
3/ I'm a straight male, but I've been told by gender activists that I'm bisexual because I said I'd find Scarlett Johansson attractive no matter how she happened to simply identify. And because I don't identify entirely with all masculine stereotypes, I am considered non-binary.
