The American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges have decided that medicine is less important than woke narratives and “equity”.
Advancing Health Equity: A … by ThePoliticalHat
Why waste time failing to teach children how to read, write, or do arithmetic, when you can spend the time waxing poetic about how awesome sex feels, like Rhode Island is considering doing in House bill H 7166 (bold text added):
“Provided further, courses in family life or sex education shall be appropriate for students of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds; affirmatively recognize pleasure based sexual relations, different sexual orientations and be inclusive of same-sex relationships in discussions and examples. In addition, comprehensive course instruction shall include gender, gender expression, gender identity, and the harm of negative gender stereotypes.”
I certainly hope there won’t involve group projects or classroom demonstrations…
Coming soon to a Rhode Island school?
Perhaps what is frightening is just how vague this is. Rather than take any time to outline exactly what this means, this bill acts as an enabling act that leaves that to bureaucrats and pedagogical “experts”. So, to beg the question: What are they hiding from parents and the public at large?
After the disastrous eight years of Bill de Blasio and soaring crime, what will new Mayor Eric Adams focus on fixing? If this video from the then Brooklyn Borough President is any indication, its Social Justice, specifically checking Whitey’s privilege.
And the fuller context doesn’t make it any less obnoxious. If anything, his insistence barring people from government funds and contracts because the basis of their race and sex just makes it worse.
A reasonable person might think that regardless of where one stands on the seemingly contentious issue of children having to wear masks in school, that at least it either scenario isn’t as bad as rape.
The people who run Stone Bridge High School are not reasonable people.
Disturbingly, this actually is consistent with the “logic” of the Critical Theory crowd, who view all interactions through oppressor/oppressed power dynamics.
Since transgenders are oppressed, they have no power, thus can’t be perpetrators/rapists and therefor can’t oppress “cis-het” girls. The oppressed have no responsibility or agency for what happened, since it is all the oppressors fault.
It is only “injustice” when it perpetuates systems of oppression and the power of the oppressors, while “justice” means nothing more than destroying those systems.
Therefor, under this ideology, a transgender raping a “cis-het” girl isn’t “rape” (since rape is what oppressors do to the oppressed), but a forgivable act of “justice” since it is a blow by an oppressed class (“trans”) against an oppressor class (“cis-het”).
The “1619 Project” pushes the narrative that America is an oppressive regime that is all about oppressing Black individuals. Reality, on the other had, demonstrates that rather than being at its core oppressive, America was, is, and always will be a beacon of freedom and liberty for Blacks just as much as for other races. Multiple cases in point:
I'm going to do something crazy and start a Black History month thread about black patriots who loved America and its ideals.
We'll start with Crispus Attucks, who died in the Boston Massacre of 1770. "The first to defy, the first to die." https://t.co/LMoaaznMCF pic.twitter.com/Gf2itcsbXu

2) Salem Poor, a slave who bought his freedom then in 1775 volunteered to fight in a Massachusetts militia. Served at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Shot the enemy officer who killed patriot General Joseph Warren. Served until 1780. https://t.co/IMhg0Dulee pic.twitter.com/6odG7dXxiI

3) Salem Poor fought so heroically that all 14 patriot regimental commanders at Bunker Hill petitioned the Massachusetts General Court to reward him as "a brave and gallant soldier. The reward due to so great and distinguished a character, we submit to the Congress."

News of the Week for Feb. 6th, 2022
In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
What is really going on and what do we do about it? This is a seemingly eternal question, and one discussed by William F. Buckley, Jr. and Fulton J. Sheen regarding skepticism and disorder.
That there are people who honestly think that they are, on the inside, animals from cats to imaginary creatures like unicorns, is sadly true. But to think that a school would “accommodate” people who identify as an animal such like a cat seems far too crazy to be real. Why it’s as crazy as a male being able to shower with naked high school girls because said male identifies as a little girl…
Hence we’ve reached the point of Poe’s Law where news becomes impossible to distinguish from parody, such as this report of a substitute teacher who was fired because she wouldn’t “meow” back to a student who identifies as a cat.
It’s sensible to be skeptical of such a claim being an attempt at parody or an attempt to fool people. But this isn’t an isolated claim.
WATCH: At a recent school board meeting, it was revealed that a Michigan school placed a LITTER BOXES in the bathroom for students that identify as cats. Unbelievable pic.twitter.com/F4ut5qCtXt

The frightening thing is that these seems plausible enough to want to double check.
This will not end well for society.

The only way to achieve a perfect blank slate for the state to imprint correct thinking and achieve Borg-like uniformity is to make sure there is no loving mother or father to tip the scales in child-rearing against a crack baby whose mother is an abuse skank whore.
“Today’s Californians often hold up equity — the goal of a just society completely free from bias — as our greatest value. Gov. Gavin Newsom makes decisions through ‘an equity lens.’ Institutions from dance ensembles to tech companies have publicly pledged themselves to equity.
“But their promises are no match for the power of parents.
“Fathers and mothers with greater wealth and education are more likely to transfer these advantages to their children, compounding privilege over generations. As a result, children of less advantaged parents face an uphill struggle, social mobility has stalled, and democracy has been corrupted. More Californians are abandoning the dream; a recent Public Policy Institute of California poll found declining belief in the notion that you can get ahead through hard work.
“My solution — making raising your own children illegal — is simple, and while we wait for the legislation to pass, we can act now: the rich and poor should trade kids, and homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors.”
Meanwhile, at the Gwinnett County Board of Education…
Just in case you're wondering this is the new chairperson of the board of education over Gwinnett County Public Schools. pic.twitter.com/EKPNfXKLp5
