A grade school in Staten Island, New York was forced to cancel its annual father-daughter dance because it violated a new school district policy regarding transgender and gender nonconforming student.
The PTA is an agent for the imposition of this poison. Oh, and the damn school district has a LBGT "liaison":The New York Department of Education directed schools to eliminate any gender-based practices like the daddy-daughter dance unless the activities served a clear education purpose, the New York Post first reported.
The PTA president at PS 65 blamed the cancellation on the district’s new “Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Student Guidelines,” the Post reported.
“Father-daughter dances inherently leave people out. Not just because of transgender status, just life in general,” said Jared Fox, the district’s LGBT community liaison told the newspaper. “These can be really uncomfortable and triggering events.”
Yes, good readers – there are actually people in America who live in fear of being triggered by a grade school’s daddy-daughter dance.
However, the LGBT liaison said there is no outright ban on father-daughter dances – provided they are inclusive.Not everyone in the school district has decided to comply with this madness:
Parents are furious over what they see as a capitulation to political correctness and militant sex and gender revolutionaries.
“All this gender crap needs to just stop,” mom Akaia Cameron told the Post.
“They’re trying to take away everything that everybody grew up on and has come to know and I don’t think it’s fair or right,” said Matthew West, a 32-year-old father of two daughters told the newspaper. “They should leave it the way it was — father-daughter, mother-son.”And then there's the top-down tyranny angle. A centralized state bureaucracy is shoving this down the school's throat:
A district spokesperson told the Post that the school was ordered to make changes to ensure that all students and families were welcome to attend.
“The DOE . . . has strict guidelines about how we present information,” the principal wrote in a note to parents. “They have a ‘gender neutral’ policy that must be adhered to at all times.”
It would be hard to decide which is more horrifying, the poisoning of these children's minds with the utter fiction that there are more than two genders, or that phrase "was ordered."
I completely understand the point the optimists are making about how we've never had life so good. The latest compelling case for that viewpoint was made quite cogently at NRO recently by Ben Shapiro.
But the advanced state of our spiritual rot cancels all the gains he enumerates.
Weep and pray for post-America.
Hell is indeed other people, ain't it? Especially when you fret about their sin.
ReplyDeleteThis becomes about more than other people’s sin when a school district’s official policy is to indoctrinate students with utterly mad delusions and destroy their childhoods.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a good point there. Let's hope the basic sanity of the local controllers prevails.
ReplyDeleteWhat we need is a really powerful and influential force in our society- except I don’t know of any in post-America who aren’t hopelessly compromised - to unequivocally and loudly state the obvious: There are only two genders, and anyone who thinks otherwise is either insane or susceptible to wickedness.
