SCOOP: Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago has created a partnership with local public school districts to promote radical gender theory, “kink,” “BDSM,” artificial penis “packers,” “trans masc pump[s],” and “trans-friendly [sex] toys” for children.

Here's the story.🧵
According to a whistleblower, gender activists at Lurie Children’s Hospital and school administrators in at least four Chicago-area public school systems—Districts 75, 120, 181, and 204—have circulated a training document titled “Beyond Binary: Gender in Schools.”
The training follows the basic narrative of academic queer theory: white, Western society has created an oppressive gender binary, falsely dividing the world into the categories of man and woman, that has resulted in “transphobia,” “cissexism,” and “systemic discrimination.”
The presentation encourages public schools to support “gender diversity” in their districts, automatically “affirm” students who announce sexual transitions, and disrupt the “entrenched norms in western society” in order to create to a more “gender creative” world.
In a version of the presentation circulated to middle school and high school teachers and staff in District 75 and 120, Lurie Children's Hospital promoted a “Binder Exchange Program” to assist teenage girls in binding their breasts.
Next, Lurie Children's Hospital promoted a “kid friendly website for gender affirming gear,” which sells items such as artificial penis “packers,” female-to-male “trans masc pump[s],” and “stand to pee devices” for minors.
Next, Lurie Children’s Hospital promoted an “LGBTQ friendly sex shop for teens” that sells a range of “dildos,” “vibrators,” “harnesses,” “anal toys,” “trans-friendly toys,” and “kink & BDSM” equipment. The site includes graphic descriptions of sadomasochism and bondage.
Finally, Lurie Children’s Hospital published a school policy guide, encouraging districts to adopt a “gender-affirming approach” to the curriculum and to allow students sleep in bunks during overnight school trips in accordance with their “gender identity,” rather than their sex.
Here's the full story on Lurie Children's Hospital and at least four Chicago-area public school districts mainlining radical gender theory into K-12 education: city-journal.org/chicago-childr…

EXCLUSIVE: The teachers union in Portland, Oregon, has created a curriculum that teaches kindergarteners that "Jewish people" are "settler-colonial" oppressors, prepares them to attend "protests," and celebrates Palestinian "martyrs."

Inside Portland's kindergarten Intifada. 🧵
The curriculum, co-published by the Portland teachers union, is called "Teach Palestine!" The union promotes the curriculum to its 4,500 and provides them legal justification to include it in the classroom—beginning with children as young as four and five years old.

In pre-kindergarten, teachers are encouraged to read from a workbook by the Palestinian Feminist Collective, which blames "a group of bullies called Zionists" who "stole [Palestinian] land by force and hurt many people."

Law enforcement should make it clear to university presidents that, if they are unwilling to expel violent protestors, they cannot expect the police to serve as a foil and do the clean-up work. The universities made this mess; we should not allow them to shift the responsibility.
The best approach for law enforcement is to create containment zones, prevent violence, ignore provocations, and avoid displays of highly public enforcement, which allow the pro-Hamas demonstrators to play the victim. Hold the line; let the universities deal with it.
The other approach, which the feds successfully used in Portland during George Floyd, is to identify ringleaders who are engaged in illegal activity and do nighttime snatch-and-grabs. This avoids the spectacle of mass confrontation and removes the most significant threats.

The key is to lock in the circle of connotations around the Ivy League. They stacked faculties with “decolonization” scholars, recruited left-wing student activists, and hired sympathetic administrators. We need to drive internal conflicts and connect all of the dots in public.
The second step is to remind voters that they are subsidizing these ideologies, and, more importantly, these people, through direct federal support, student loans, and Biden’s debt payoff scheme (don’t call it “debt forgiveness”). Call to action should be “defund the Ivy League.”
It’s important to remember that we should not throw Ivy League administrators a lifeline. The Right should be careful not to overreact; the best approach is to remain quiet and let the Left tear itself apart. The longer the encampments stay, the more the Left will fracture.

EXCLUSIVE: @LukeRosiak and I have discovered that the DEI director of UCLA Medical School, Natalie J. Perry, plagiarized multiple long passages in her PhD dissertation, which is her only published academic work.

The plagiarism here is shocking. 🧵
UCLA Med School has been in the news recently for promoting ideology about "Indigenous womxn," "two-spirits," and "structural racism." A guest speaker praised and two residents championed "revolutionary suicide."

The DEI director, who advances "anti-racism," is Natalie Perry. Image
But according to our exclusive analysis, Perry's career is predicated on academic fraud. Her PhD dissertation plagiarized material from ten other papers, which she did not attribute or put in quotations. The examples are brazen:

EXCLUSIVE: Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook is one of the most powerful economists in the world. But @LukeRosiak and I have discovered that her academic work appears to contain plagiarism, according to her former university’s policy.

The plagiarism scandal hits the Fed. 🧵
There have long been questions about Cook’s academic work. Her publication history is quite thin, contains serious methodological errors, and largely focuses on race activism rather than rigorous, quantitative econ. She had trouble getting approved by the Senate.

We have found that, in a series of academic papers spanning more than a decade, Cook appears to have copied language from other scholars without proper quotation and duplicated her own work and that of coauthors in multiple academic journals, without proper attribution.

Absolutely, I will share ten stories with original source documentation proving that this is, in fact, how many, if not most, Fortune 100 companies consider DEI.
