One of my wife’s friends just had her son come out as gay.

He’s 9.

Not even kidding.

When I was 9, I knew I was not gay. My problem is that so many suburban women are driving their kids and not letting them truly find themselves. When my son was 9, I couldn't find my annual Sports Illustrated swim suit magazine. Found it under my kid's bed.

I know two families whose children came out as transgender in the last year. Both sets of parents have lost their minds and are bending over backwards capitulating to the insanity because if they don't the kids say they will commit suicide. The animals are running the zoo now and I live in a clown world.

The elementary school that I took my kids out of has an activist groomer teacher. There are now 4 kids in his class that are 'non binary'. What are the odds? On a side note, when the kids from the public school ask my son what his pronouns are, he tells them to just use his name. Seattle schools are fucked.

Letting the teacher union's dictate the SCIENCE behind closing schools and masking has worked out so well. It's almost like actually educating children isn't a priority. Need to make this a voting issue in 2024. Newsom sent his kids to private school while shutting down the state schools because he cares so much about his kids but not yours.

He’s not gay. He’s not straight. He’s not anything. He’s 9. He hasn’t started to hit puberty yet so wtf is this coming from? He should be riding his bike and catching frogs, not thinking about shit like this.

The fact that he is means someone put it in his head recently. Little kids are impressionable and inquisitive. A year ago he could have convinced himself he was a giraffe.

He’ll be fine one way or another whatever he grows up to be. I just don’t understand why anyone would think that this is the kind of subject matter we want to actively engage with 9 year olds.

Mom I think I’m gay

Buddy you are 9. You won’t know what you really are for years to come. Here’s an ice cream cone. Go outside and get dirty.

I remember she knocked on my door when she ran for State Rep. in 2015. The only Politician I have ever had do that.

Clark county had not been fully overrun by Oregon democrat voters yet.

I was pleasantly surprised at Vancouver's improvements in its downtown areas and along the waterfront last time I was there. Portland had gotten so shitty by 2020 we didn't even bother looking for a place to eat on that side of the river.

Oregonians have discovered the waterfront.

Is their side still dominated by the ruins of the burned out Red Lion?

Best flight of my life was AA Dallas/FW to Miami on a Friday morning. Nothing but hot 30-something MILFs headed for a weekend of "shopping." Sat next to two hot mamas sporting at least 36Ds in plunging necklines. Glad I wasn't around to see them get drunk and mount a Cuban BBC in South Beach, but it did make me long for my former Texas GF whose blowies were unmatched in Seattle.

No offense, Creep.

I took that flight to and fro (and to and fro Fort Lauderdale a couple tims). From Texas to Florida, I'm pretty sure 80% of people, at least around Bill, were speaking Spanish.

It's like having mello as your college professor. Anyone objecting to meritocracy and actual learning is hammered. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

Nearly 400 Pennsylvania State University professors have signed a letter that defends antiracism teaching and administrative practices targeted in a lawsuit objecting to giving black students inflated grades.

The four-paragraph “Letter in Support of Antiracist Faculty at Penn State” denigrates a recent lawsuit filed against the university by Zack De Piero, who taught English at the school’s Abingdon campus and has since filed a lawsuit that alleges he was discriminated against because of his race. He is white.

The 36-page lawsuit details a June 2020 exercise in which white faculty were told they are privileged because they can “breathe” while George Floyd could not.

The lawsuit alleges an educational equity administrator “identified ‘those of us with privileged racial identities’ who ‘need to sit in it longer,’ and she led the faculty in a breathing exercise in which she instructed the ‘White and non-Black people of color to hold it just a little longer — to feel the pain.'”

Another allegation in the lawsuit claims De Piero, who taught in inner city schools before teaching at Penn State, was pressured to ensure consistent grades for students across color lines or it would demonstrate racism.

The signatories of the “Letter in Support of Antiracist Faculty at Penn State” include faculty from Penn State branches such as Erie, Fayette, University Park and Brandywine. Several faculty from the University of Michigan and other major research institutions also added their names.

But only three faculty members from the Abingdon campus — where De Piero taught — have signed their names to the letter as of June 12.

The lawsuit alleges:

The logic of Defendants’ demands required that De Piero also penalize students academically on the basis of race. If, for example, students from East Asia or the Indian subcontinent excelled over other minority groups (who often had the same, if not lighter skin color), De Piero was asked to penalize them in order to equalize outcomes on the basis of race.

De Piero rejects this race-based and racist approach to teaching and evaluation.

De Piero had developed an assessment methodology designed to foreground the writing process so that all students, regardless of race, can achieve success if they put in timely work. In De Piero’s mind, such an approach evens the playing field for all students, so that everybody can be successful in the writing classroom, irrespective of their educational background or racial identity.

The four-paragraph “Letter in Support of Antiracist Faculty at Penn State” does not address any of the specific claims in the lawsuit. Instead, it describes the lawsuit as one example of “attacks from reactionaries who claim that curricula, programs, and initiatives aimed at promoting inclusivity and equity are racist and divisive.”

The letter also spends some time decrying De Piero’s law firm, the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, complaining that its donors are shielded from identity.

“Through divisive, fabricated arguments, this group attempts to undermine and vilify faculty members who have dedicated their careers to challenging systemic racism in higher education while creating a welcoming environment for historically marginalized groups. To achieve their spurious goals, these reactionary forces have sought to weaponize the courts,” the professors’ letter states.

“We, faculty from higher education institutions across the United States, stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Penn State who have embraced ongoing efforts in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), which must be in addition to, not a substitute for, affirmative action and antiracist programs and policies,” it adds.

Without exception, these are the academic types who create and generate complete fallacies such as "Black Newborn Babies die at twice the rate with white doctors as with black doctors" or "black students perform better with black teachers." First, no they don't. And Second, why is it only blacks that suffer these fates, while non-white, non-native English speaking immigrants from all over the globe don't have such problems as dead newborns and failing students in their U.S. families and communities?

I cannot wait for these racial hucksters to be sweeping sidewalks and bagging groceries, which, truthfully, is all they are capable of doing right.

Americans are bigots and transphobes

The MSM is once again trailing the bandwagon, miles behind the American people.
