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?

 

Aaargh! Too Much Homework!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

We don’t have galley slaves chained to their oars anymore; but we do have California high school students chained to… homework.

Their complaints seem extravagant, demonstrating poor time-budgeting skills more than anything else, but California’s government means to take action. Gov. Gavin Nudnick has signed into law a measure to reduce the “burden” of homework, to take effect this year.

Every normal kid hates homework. Every normal kid wants to get out of doing homework. How seriously should we take this?

[Hold it! Stop! It’s New Year’s Day–why am I writing about public education? When the reasonable, sane, and praiseworthy thing to do would be to abolish it?

Let’s enjoy a day off!]

‘Agatha Christie’s Deprived Childhood’ (2015)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Hard to believe the world’s all-time best-selling author had such an impoverished childhood, isn’t it? No video games! No gender coaching! No sex (the horror, the horror!). Poor Agatha Christie!

Agatha Christie’s Deprived Childhood

Nowadays, of course, Child Protective Services would’ve eaten her parents alive. Can you imagine? She never spent a day in public school! No Gender Unicorn for her.

Sorry, but it’s just so hard to write about this, I have to stop now…

‘Furries’ Are Baaaaaaack…!

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.]

What was I writing about, just this morning? Delusions, I think. Yeah, delusions. And how we are expected to affirm certain delusions–or else. Usually that means delusions involving one’s, uh, “gender.” But aren’t all delusions created equal? Like, for instance, this:

FURRY INFESTATION: Middle School Students Walk Out in Protest After School Leaders Allow “Furries” to Terrorize Them – They BITE, SCRATCH, BARK, CHEW ON STICKS, HAVE A KITTY LITTER BOX in Bathroom (VIDEO)

Yeah, “Furries” dropped out of the nooze for a while, and I thought the fad had run its course… but now they’re back. Big-time. And somehow “school officials” can’t do diddly-squat about it! It seems Furries can do whatever they please and the rest of the student body had better get used to it. This particular Furry outbreak occurred at Mount Nebo School in Payson, Utah.

I don’t believe these teens are mentally ill–well, no more so than any other species of leftist. I think they’re having the time of their lives. Reveling in it. Look at all the attention they get. And the ever-lovin’ “school officials” act like they’re afraid of them.

[NOTE: Ty Smith, “Modern Renaissance Man” on YouTube, has an hour-long in-depth report on the Furry flap in Utah–well worth watching.]

People, what has to happen, what priceless idiocy do they have to shove under your noses, to move you to take your children out of public school? What do the teachers’ unions have to do to you?  And you don’t mind when the school board sics the FBI on you, because you objected to some loony policy?

I no longer believe the public schools are salvageable. Homeschooling, Christian schooling–but no more public education Furry farms.

‘When They Make You Say It’ (2018)

See the source image

In that corner of Hell where they hatch out leftids, imps and demons are taught to relish the experience of forcing some poor undefended mug to say things he knows to be false and believes to be evil.

So here’s a college where they make you write to your Congressman in support of Planned Parenthood, the abortion giants. For the professor, the zest comes into it when the student has to violate his conscience to get a passing grade.

When They Make You Say It

First they stop you from saying things that they don’t want to hear. Then they make you say things that you don’t want to say. It’s great for breaking down self-respect, for turning citizens into serfs. It appeals to all that’s worst in our sin nature.

Protect us by thy might, Great God our King.

‘UK Teens Can’t Tell Time’ (2018)

For high school use only

How old were you when you learned to tell time? How long did it take you to learn?

The world’s high schools are full of teens who can’t answer those two questions. They never learned to read a clock.

UK Teens Can’t Tell Time

Being educated by “educators” is a serious disadvantage. When I was in second grade they thought I was stupid because I couldn’t read the blackboard. The reason I couldn’t read it was that I was growing near-sighted and my seat was toward the back of the classroom. I didn’t complain because I was just seven years old and didn’t realize that I had a problem that could be fixed.

I got “smart” very soon after getting my first pair of glasses.

Flash! Kids Don’t Like School!

It’s supposed to be boring–right?

How are the teachers’ unions going to spin this?

More and more, children of all ages are saying that they don’t like school–75% of high school students, in a Yale study, said they were tired and bored and stressed (out of 21,000 sampled). And there are very many reports of children as young as kindergarten crying because they don’t want to go to school. Here’s just one of many: https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/11qo0o5/my_kindergartener_crys_and_not_wanting_to_go_to/

Frankly, if I had a child who said he liked to go to school each day, I’d be afraid there was something wrong with him.

When I was in grade school, of course, there was boredom and bullying and all that; but at the same time, there was no “You’re a white person, so that makes you a bad person,” “You are probably some gender other than the one they say you were born with,” “You only think you’re a girl,” etc., etc., etc.–the whole 21st century Education Fun-Pak.

Remember when they closed the schools for COVID, and kids had to, um, “learn” online, at home? And remember how shocked you were, when you overheard those, er, “lessons”?

Imagine how much worse it’d be, having to sit there all day, five days a week, and listen to this ****. Of course you’re tired and bored and stressed.

And then they teach your kiddies what a rotten no-good country we have here in America and how it needs Fundamental Transformation, blah-blah. Your tax dollars at work!

Do your kids a favor and pull them out of public school.

Chicago Parents Sue Teachers’ Union

33 OT:Moses Confronts Pharaoh ideas in 2024 | moses, bible ...

“Let my people go!”

“Why should I? We’ve got a good thing goin’ here!”

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.]

A Chicago public school teacher makes an income roughly twice that of the average Chicago taxpayer. Nevertheless, in January of 2022, Chicago’s teachers went on strike–supposedly to protect themselves from COVID–and shut down the schools.

Now a group of parents is suing the teachers’ union for that (https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_ede07ed0-eaca-11ee-b493-f3806ce592c8.html#:~:text=The%20lawsuits%2C%20filed%20by%20attorneys,cope%20with%20additional%20financial%20strains.).

Hey! I’ve got a question that I haven’t heard anyone ask.

The whole time schools were closed because the teachers were on strike, was everybody still paying school tax? Talk about getting Nothing for your money! And having to keep the kiddies home, say the parents’ lawyers, meant *unexpected costs, *unpaid leave from work, and *additional financial strains.”

And when you looked into it at any depth, it was just about Chicago politics, with the teachers’ union aspiring to be a power broker (Ya mean it isn’t?).

People, people! Public education, teachers’ unions, DEI officers, “school officials” pulling down six-figure incomes–these are not your friends. 

Don’t wait for Pharaoh to let the people go. Just go.

Paid to Be Parrots

Cigarettes? Over my dead body. Teens join zombie walk

“Zombies are coming”? Heck, they’re already here.

The Long Beach, California, Unified School District is paying high school students $1,400 each (other people’s money, of course) to be “social justice warriors” (https://nypost.com/2024/03/07/us-news/calif-school-district-pays-activist-group-taxpayer-funds-to-push-social-justice/).

Selected (by whom? how? we don’t know) teens are given professionally printed protest signs and scripts written by heaven knows who. The kids are called “interns”–couldn’t you just scream?–and are paid to recite, mindlessly, what some “activists” have written.

The district collects school taxes and then doles ’em out to Far Left racist freaks–“Californians for Justice”– who say the money is to train “youth of color” (YOX?) to be community organizers… with a dash of anti-Israel sentiment tossed in for good luck. The district has forked over some $2 million since 2019, and is currently on a $900,000 contract with the race hustlers.

Hello! How is this remotely, conceivably, lawful? Yes, there are “school personnel” in Long Beach who object to it–and very, very quietly, too! And while we’re at it, what the devil is “racial justice,” and how is it different from just plain justice? Who gets picked to receive a $1,400 payoff and who doesn’t?

People! Public education is not your friend! Long Beach schools have 65,500 children in them, all getting brainwashed by Far Left creeps.

Take your kids out of there while you still can.

‘College Just Gets Worse and Worse’ (2020)

“Off with your head, blast your eyes!”

It’s increasingly difficult–well, all right, jolly impossible–to believe certain people in (LOL) “authority” are NOT purposely trying to destroy our country. What else would you call it, what “higher education” does?

College Just Gets Worse and Worse

Here we had a student punished by college fat-heads–er, “authorities”–for disputing a Muslim professor’s assertion, made in front of the class, that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was a hoax.

If he’d said Islam was a hoax, he almost certainly would have been murdered.

Look at ’em all lined up to knock us down: Democrat Party, Uniparty, Hollywood, nooze media, teachers’ unions, communist and Muslim “professors,” rioters recruited for the purpose–it’s kind of amazing we’re still here. Still standing.

But I don’t think our enemies listed above intend to leave us that way.
