Oh the horror…
I can’t see the article but anything Pre-K is a private school. Not public.
After school clubs like the gay-straight alliance existed in my school too.
None of this moves the needle for me.
It’s all over reaction. You don’t think kids lie to their parents without being involved in these clubs?
The way things are currently couldn’t be any more unhealthy. Sweeping things under the rug and pretending like things don’t exist it’s more putting your head in the sand bullshit.
Life is hard. You have to change.

Wtf are you talking about? They are teaching children gender identity/sexuality. The parents don't want them to. End. Just stop.
Where is that happening? Stop raging about a fucking talking point.
Amazing you can win entire elections based on a fake premise.
Meanwhile i actually have kids in public school…none of this shit is happening.

When schools are declining, when students are behind in all subjects, teachers need to stay in their lane and teach, not mold kids ideological views. Explaining pronouns and sexuality doesn’t need to be taught to six year olds. If they want to do that, just get the parents permission. And don’t have “secret clubs” and lessons that kids “don’t tell your parents about.” These are the things parents are angry about. This really happened, not because of politics, but during the lockdown when parents saw what their kids were being taught.
No…
Blaming schools for this is too easy. Parents who choose to obfuscate their responsibilities to raise their children then simultaneously blaming the schools is an outstanding joke on society.
Believe or not, parents aren’t always right.
I remember early in my career when I was much younger making a couple of suggestions about a behavioral issue in a particular child was encountering, the mother told me to fuck off. And that until I have a kid I need to shut the fuck up.
It was shortly after that that I decided that I would never work in public school district again.
The public doesn’t want education. They want publicly subsidized baby sitting.

The right has succeeded in making this a main issue
Wrong.
The left made it a main issue...the right simply covers the fallout while the left pretends there is no fallout.
Simple as that.
The left has to keep up with the right attracting it’s far right lunatics who otherwise wouldn’t vote if Trump is not in the ticket.
If by making it an issue you mean acknowledging their existence and cultivating them as voters then you are correct. However the Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson’s played their roles flawlessly by using the trans community as a punching bag and feeding that content to an already rabid base.

I think you’re all going overboard now…
I lived in Wisconsin for 24 years. I’ve now lived in Illinois almost as long. So what am i? Am i always a Wisconsinite no matter where I’ve been or how long I’ve been there?
The major issue here is why on earth did this person become so indignant? The insistence of my perception being altered just because you say so is annoying.
This…amongst other things is why the Dems should get pummeled in November.
While i find these issues incredibly insignificant and i believe that far too much focus is put on such a tiny segment of society…it’s such an easy target. I don’t personally know any trans people and the ones i indirectly know are so preoccupied that they’re completely harmless.
The right has succeeded in making this a main issue and i just don’t give a shit. What motivates me more than anything is someone gaining political points by platforming exclusionary ideas and policies.
The right is back to banning books, erasing new ideas and white washing history. The Dems are so incompetent that they allow this to be the winning message.

I’m not sure how any of you could misconstrue me as a conservative.
Why wouldn’t you think about those things when it comes to caring for these people?!

We all saw this coming.
At some point someone needs to tell these people no.
Oops that was for the current events thread.

If you ever wanted to checkmate me in trans stuff this would be how

Loved how Rhonda Rousey celebrated winning by wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day. After she just beat another mother.
Is everything just a public service announcement these days?

In a reversal, the douche Elon Musk will return Trump to twitter making it official that rich famous people should no longer be accountable for anything they do…ever.
