“I’m a woman, hear me roar!”
You can get what you want–but you’ll have to pay for it.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills–Democrat, of course–has defied the federal government’s ban on male athletes (“trans women”) playing girls’ and women’s sports (https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2025/02/24/maine-republican-says-extreme-trans-athlete-policy-will-cost-state-millions/)–a move that could, and probably will, cost Maine some $250 million in federal aid to education.
Why do Democrat politicians want to do this? And it’s not just politicians: the Maine Principals’ Assn. is all in for it. Well, that’s public school “educators” for you.
And what’s a quarter of a billion dollars? Just raise the school tax! That’s the usual remedy.
We really need an explanation of the Democrats’ bizarre fondness for “transgender.” How is this a good idea? How can anyone but a crackpot support it? What great good is it expected to accomplish?
The problem with public education is the educators
Your children need to be taken out of these reprobates’ hands.
It’s supposed to break down norms — especially in regard to family — and disrupt logical thought and all focus on reality, so that the only thing that can be relied on is the State.
Which leads naturally to another question, “Why do they want to trash our civilization?”
So they can build their own utopian State on the rubble, with themselves as the all-wise rulers, of course, and the rest of us as their underlings.
I wonder how many people would go for that.
Well, look at how many went for the lockdowns, the mask mandates, and the jab mandates — not only went for it all but vilified and even threatened those who didn’t. For that matter, look at how we went from everyone considering homosexuality to be a disorder (at best) to accepting not only gay “marriage” but drag queens and now “trans” ideology — and, again, not only accepting it all but punishing those who don’t.
People get trained little by little to do what the overlords tell them to do and believe what the overlords tell them to believe, even if — maybe especially if — the orders are senseless and/or mutually contradictory. “Whom are you going to believe,” the State asks menacingly, “the State or your lying eyes and subversive brain?”
From Plutarch: A king of Sparta (I forget which one) used to require his subjects to do a lot of pointlessly difficult things that made no sense. He explained he was trying to instill a habit of obedience.
We seem to have slipped back there.
