Fed Court Wipes Out Biden’s Title IX

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Federal Court protects girls’ sports from trannies.

Far Left Crazy took one on the chin a few days ago, as a federal judge voided the Biden Administration’s rewrite of Title IX of the 1972 civil rights act (https://www.highereddive.com/news/federal-judge-strikes-down-biden-administrations-title-ix-rule-nationwide/736975/).

The judge in the District of Kentucky rapped “the Dept. of Education’s attempt to bypass the legislative process and completely transform Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 through sweeping new regulations.” He also called the whole business “arbitrary and capricious.” (Ya think?)

Prior to the ruling, the new rewrite of Title IX had been blocked in 26 states–as glaringly unconstitutional. (It would allow male students who pretend to be girls to participate in girls’ sports. It also sought to force regular people to use “preferred pronouns.” That makes it compelled speech–again, unconstitutional.)

We wonder, yes, we wonder why Democrats just can’t seem to get enough of LGBTQetc. What the devil is their long-term goal–extinction of the human species?

 

Teacher’s DON’T Have to Use ‘Preferred Pronouns’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

A group of Virginia teachers a few days ago won a lawsuit that says they do not have to use “preferred pronouns” or any other compelled speech (https://www.foxnews.com/media/local-virginia-teachers-no-longer-forced-use-students-preferred-pronouns-after-settlement). Three teachers with the Harrisonburg City public schools won the case, having originally filed the lawsuit in 2022.

Oh! And let’s not forget this part! School officials (don’t you just love ’em?) had decided that the schools would NOT notify parents or seek their consent. When Tommy demands to be called Suzie, it’s just between him and the school–parents, it’s none o’ your business!

Why do we tolerate this? The child’s mental health is the parents’ business! More theirs than anybody else’s–certainly more theirs than the schools’. Where did “educators” ever get the idea it wasn’t?

Pull ’em all out and starve the school officials.

DO NOT let them mess with our children’s minds.

 

‘Court Socks It to School Board’ (My Newswithviews Column, Oct. 3

They love experimenting on other people’s children!

“Compelled speech” is blatantly unconstitutional, and should be challenged wherever it creeps out from the shadows.

In West Point, Virginia, the school board tried to force a teacher to say things, and pretend he believe things, that he knew to be untrue. So he took them to court and won a bundle.

Court Socks It to School Board

This has to happen more often; and when it does, it should be the guilty parties on the school board who have to pay–not freakin’ everybody! A little personal responsibility might work wonders.

We never elected these dindles to run social experiments on our children–did we?

 

 

 

 

‘Court: You Can’t Force People to Say Stupid Stuff’ (2021)

If you can make people say things they know are not true, or which they believe to be wicked or idiotic, you’re well on your way to establishing a tyranny. You’ve struck a blow against their self-respect, and they won’t give you much trouble if they can’t respect themselves.

Court: You Can’t Force People to Say Stupid Stuff

A few years ago, this court case (Sixth Circuit) took away a university’s power to compel professors and students to say things they didn’t believe. It’s still going on, though–how would you stop it? “Say the right thing”–usually the politically correct thing–“or lose your job!”

That’s liberalism. And it’s toxic to human rights and dignity.

Compelled Speech Strikes Again–and Court Strikes Back

Give us back our First Amendment rights!

“[N]o government committed to these principles [free speech] can lawfully coerce its citizens into pledging allegiance to ideological views that violate their sincerely held religious beliefs.”  –The Virginia Supreme Court (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/lawsuit-schools-woke-speech-demands-resurrected-state-supremes/)

The Supreme Court of Virginia has reinstated a lawsuit filed by a teacher against the West Point School Board… who fired the teacher for not applying male pronouns to a 14-year-old female student.

Again we’re confronted by Compelled Speech–the doctrine that the government has the authority to dictate what a citizen must say. Honk if you can think of any way that doesn’t trample on our First Amendment rights. But it’s very, very popular in American “education,” these days. And a cornerstone of the whole insane transgender craze.

Now the teacher’s lawsuit can go to trial–and God help us if he loses. It would give the government power to put words in our mouths and force us to say them.

And we can kiss our liberty goodbye.

‘Teaching Children to Lie’ (My Newswithviews Column, Dec. 14)

liar: Think you are good at lying? You could be a psychopath ...

What might the future hold for a republic that spends billions of dollars to “teach” children things that are not true? To curry favor with “authority” by telling teachers and other adults what those adults want to hear, even when both parties know it isn’t true? To get ahead by lying.

Teaching Children to Lie

Wow. Won’t that make our business and our politics just swell, with everybody lying to us all the time? It’s already hard enough to get a straight answer!

And which outcome is worse? People learn to believe the lies they’re told–or else wind up believing nobody? Either way is bad for us.

Public education: working every day to dumb us down and strip us of our freedom.

Student Flunked for Telling the Truth

Teachers Reveal the Most Hilarious Answers They've Heard

“Now repeat after me, class: Men can get pregnant!”

Meanwhile, back at the skool–

At a high school in Seattle, a 10th-grader flunked a “world history” quiz (?–go figure) by giving true answers to two true/false questions (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/controversy-erupts-when-student-fails-quiz-answering-correctly/). He wrote “true” for “only men have penises” and “only women can get pregnant.” The, um, “teacher” insisted those were false statements. The student was supposed to agree that women can have penises and men can get pregnant.

And so Compelled Speech reaches down into grade school! Now you have to say demonstrably true statements–that is, facts–are false, even though they’re false, and you know they’re false, and they go against your core beliefs.

For this you pay your school tax?

Yeahbut, yeahbut! It’s inclusive, man! If one is even allowed to say “man.”

Take your children out of there.

“Turn loose the armed robbers–gotta make room for ‘misgendering’!”

It’s a terrifying combination–Godless, feckless, predatory government… and rapid culture rot. Down from the top, up from the bottom. That’s what we’re up against. Crushed between them.

Here are two examples “torn from the headlines,” as cheap and plotless movies used to say.

Down From the Top, Up From the Bottom

Meanwhile, Japan’s birth rate is sinking below the horizon–and more and more people have decided to be “fictosexual.” That’s when you cut yourself off from real people and only love fictional characters. Anything that perverse and hopeless is bound to spread throughout the world.

Turn to God before it’s too late.

Prison Time… for ‘Wrong’ Pronouns

King John puts his seal on Magna Carta | June 15, 1215 | HISTORY

King John signed the Magna Carta. Today they’re erasing it.

The nation that gave us the Magna Carta now offers two years in prison for using the “wrong” pronoun (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/10/15/labour-party-to-make-misgendering-punishable-with-two-years-in-prison-report/).

Over in Not-so-merrie England, the Conservative Party has made a hash of governing the place–we might go so far as to describe the country as irreparably damaged by insane and feckless immigration policies–and is expected to be shot down in flames in the next election. Serves ’em right for not conserving anything.

But the Labour Party expects to sweep into office next year, and they’re already talking priorities.

Pretty near the top of the list is to make “misgendering”–using pronouns other than those demanded by seriously perverted or deluded people–an “aggravated offense” punishable by up to two years in prison.

Kiss your freedom goodbye, Britain. You’re not going to make it to 2100. Not at the rate you’re going.

The Labour Party says you’ll use the pronouns that you’re told to use, no matter how blatantly erroneous–or else! No tyranny is too petty for these creeps.

They might have to let some armed robbers and murderers back out onto the street to make room in prison for those who forget to refer to a man as “she.”

And what a time to be a police officer! Who wants to risk a showdown with gangsters when he can arrest an 85-year-old widow for using wrong pronouns? Labour, Herod’s Men are gonna love you for it!

Take a Knee (Where It Hurts!)

Giants' pitcher Sam Coonrod refuses to kneel during Black Lives Matter moment because of faith: 'I'm a Christian' | Fox News

Astoundingly docile people, aren’t we?

A Virginia Tech women’s soccer player will be paid  $100,000 to settle a lawsuit against the university (https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/01/college-soccer-player-wins-100000-settlement-after-refusing-to-kneel-during-pregame-ceremony.html).

She sued them because the coach demanded the team “take a knee” to show “solidarity” with BLM rioters. When she refused the order compelling her speech, he verbally abused her, benched her, and eventually forced her to leave the team.

Compelled speech! It’s what makes leftids drool. To Democrats, it’s poetry come to life. Make someone say he believes something that he does not believe in; make her say she endorses what she finds despicable. That’s how it’s done, son!

The “school” asked the judge to dismiss the suit. Nothing doing. So they settled. Probably cheaper than going to trial. Universities have tons of money, though. This lost $100K won’t make them change their ways.

Leftism has damaged our republic in ways that won’t be easily repaired. And out in front of the charge against our liberties is (ahem!) “higher education.”
