/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bizpac Review. An Indiana high school teacher is accusing school administrators of putting a “financial gun” to his head over their transgender policy.

John Kluge was ordered to comply with the school district’s policy on transgender students or give up his job as a faculty member of Brownsburg High School , according to WTHR. . .

The issue has divided the community as was seen in an emotional school board meeting on Monday where it was announced that Kluge’s resignation had been approved, FOX 59 reported. Angry parents voiced their concerns and berated the school board for a policy some said they did not even know existed.

“I’m sorry I know I sound like I’m ticked off because I am I’m fed up with this stuff from you guys. You are our elected officials. You work for us and the administration works for you so that makes you all responsible,” parent Jeff Gracie said.

Brownsburg Teacher Claims Religious Convictions Cost Him His Job

By WTHR. . .Rhonda Echard’s daughter just graduated from Brownsburg High School. Although she respects the teacher’s religious beliefs, she said “If you are teaching in a public school situation, then maybe your personal beliefs should not be at the forefront.”

“I see where he is coming from, but I think that is getting in the way of his job and what he signed up to do,” said Samantha McKinney, an 8th grader. She said she has transgender friends.

The controversy caught the attention of the Trevor Project, a national organization working to prevent suicide among LGBTQ young people.

“Youth are at high risk when they don’t feel respected, when they are feeling all these types of stigma and discrimination,” said Sam Brinton, who directs the Trevor Project’s advocacy programs.

Brownsburg schools would not discuss Kluge’s allegations. (Read more from “Brownsburg Teacher Claims Religious Convictions Cost Him His Job” HERE)

U.S. Gives Pro-LGBT Researcher $1 Million to Study, Encourage Transgenderism in Kids

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. federal government has awarded a pro-transgender activist $1 million to study transgenderism in kids in a study critics say is already fundamentally biased. . .

“In 2013, [Olsen] organized and began leading a 20-year longitudinal research study of early childhood gender development,” the NSF announced in April. “The study currently follows more than 1,000 children aged 3-12 from 45 U.S. states. The project will enable researchers to track social and behavioral influences on health, and evaluate the importance of childhood identity and the support children receive to lifelong health and well-being.”

The taxpayer money will support Olsen running the TransYouth Project (TYP), a “large-scale, national longitudinal study of more than 300 socially-transitioned transgender children that started in 2013. These children were recruited when they were 3-12 years of age and we are hoping to follow them for 20 years.”

“The first red flag concerning TYP is the orientation of the lead researcher, Olson, who is firmly on the side of affirming the child’s mistaken gender identity,” Jane Robbins and Erin Tuttle wrote at The Federalist.

And, “through TYP, Olson is focusing only on a particular type of child with a particular type of family,” they explained. “Participant children had to impersonate the opposite sex in all facets of their everyday life, and their parents had to agree and play along with the impersonation. Participants were recruited from transgender clinics, conferences, and support groups, further ensuring that only families that already accept the concepts Olson and her colleagues embrace would be studied.” (Read more from “U.S. Gives Pro-LGBT Researcher $1 Million to Study, Encourage Transgenderism in Kids” HERE)

Bill Clinton Unintentionally Bashes Hillary, Gives Perfect Explanation to How Trump Won 2016 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .[A] growing majority of Americans have grown tired of the constant excuses and have come to realize that Clinton really has nobody to blame but herself and the actions, or rather inaction, of her own campaign, which bought into the media narrative that they had the election in the bag from the start.

That rather significant oversight and miscalculation of the 2016 electorate was something that former President Bill Clinton may have unintentionally alluded to during a recent interview, according to the Washington Examiner.

In speaking about his awareness in the 1990s of the threat posed by late Al Qaeda terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden, Clinton remarked that it was unwise to underestimate or lack respect for one’s enemies, a shot that easily could have aimed at his wife in the wake of her shocking loss to Trump.

“One of the things that gets you into bad decision-making is dehumanizing and underestimating your adversaries,” Bill Clinton said during an event Thursday to promote the release of his new book with author James Patterson. . .

Furthermore, the Hillary campaign did in fact work to “dehumanize” Trump and his supporters on countless occasions, but most especially with Clinton’s ill-advised “deplorables” comment, which was embraced by Trump supporters and subsequently used against Clinton.

Crossfit Exec Fired for Claiming LGBTQ ‘Pride Is a Sin’ Speaks out — and He’s Holding Nothing Back

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russell Berger, CrossFit’s de-facto spokesman, was fired last week after he praised the decision of a CrossFit gym in Indianapolis that chose not to host a workout for the city’s pride week.

“As someone who personally believes celebrating ‘pride’ is a sin, I’d like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout,” read a now-deleted tweet that led to Berger’s termination. . .

During an interview with Apologia Radio, Berger did not backdown from his personal views, but expressed dismay with his decision to voice them in a public way that put his company — and its employees — in a compromising position. . .

“I put my company in a position that I wish I hadn’t. I put them in a position where they felt they had to weigh in on something that they otherwise wouldn’t have and I regret that. I think it distracts them from their mission and takes away time and energy and resources from making people fitter and healthier which is what they should be doing. I regret that,” he explained. . .

“The misrepresentation is that that makes me a homophobic bigot who hates gay people and doesn’t want them involved in the CrossFit world. That’s so far from the truth. I love the people in the LGBTQ community and I want them to know Christ. That means being honest about the fact that we are all sinners and we need to not revel in our sin but turn from it, and trust in Him,” he said.

Lawmakers Demand Planned Parenthood Be Investigated for Covering-Up Child Sex-Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

Members of Congress gathered outside the U.S. Capitol today to call attention to an important investigative report and video series exposing Planned Parenthood’s repeated failure to notify law enforcement of suspected human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women and girls.

Planned Parenthood has a decades-long history of covering up crimes against minors which has gone largely ignored. Live Action has released its report and video series seeking to blow the lid off Planned Parenthood’s unchecked, ongoing criminal behavior victimizing young girls who are already victims of sexual assaults.

“Abuse cover-up is systemic to the abortion industry,” said Lila Rose, founder of Live Action which produced the investigative report and video series.

“What these abusers do––what sexual traffickers do––to their victims is take them or threaten to send them by force to an abortion facility, which can become a key place for that abuse to be covered up,” said Rose. “And Planned Parenthood, instead of reporting the abuse as they’re mandated to do in virtually all fifty states by law––instead of reporting abuse, instead of being that person who can encounter a girl in a situation of extreme distress and be that moment of intervention for her––does a secret abortion, has a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell policy,’ and sends this vulnerable young girl back into the arms of sex abusers.” . . .

Sometimes these young teenage girls plead with Planned Parenthood staff to them help them escape their abusers, but their pleas go unheeded. (Read more from “Lawmakers Demand Planned Parenthood Be Investigated for Covering-Up Child Sex-Abuse” HERE)

Governor Candidate Aims to Irk President Trump, Fox News Viewers With Gay Kiss Commercial

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a campaign stunt meant to be a slap in the face to President Donald Trump and his supporters, a gay Maryland Democrat running for his party’s nomination for governor has released a commercial that ends with him kissing his “husband.”

In order to make sure the president and his most ardent supporters witness the homosexual kiss, the ad began running Thursday on the Fox News Network’s Fox & Friends show throughout the Washington D.C. metro area. It will also be on cable TV in Montgomery County, Maryland, which the left-wing gay candidate, Rich Madaleno, now represents as a state senator.

The commercial – meant to portray the candidate as a progressive social justice warrior standing up to the President and Republicans – is a 30-second litany of his pro-abortion and liberal record as a Maryland state legislator. . .

For the coup de grâce, Madaleno asks, “And what’s the number one way I piss off Donald Trump and the Republicans?”

He then plants a sloppy kiss on the lips of his “husband” before turning back to the camera, saying, “Take that, Trump!”

Girl, 5, Bullied for Saying Grace Before Meal

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .It happened at a Scottish state school where the parents of a 5-year-old report their daughter was bullied for saying grace before a meal. . .

The parents said their daughter was “happy” growing up but, but grew depressed and dreaded school after being mocked, over and over, for expressing her Christian beliefs.

“A 5-year-old saying grace before lunch is not hurting anyone and she should be free to do that,” said Forbes. “I do think it is becoming more difficult for people with faith and that means that the schools and authorities have to do more to make sure schools are an inclusive environment.”

Free Church of Scotland minister Rev. Alasdair Macleod pointed out a “growing problem” of intolerance toward Christian students.

“It feels to me that schools are becoming an increasingly hostile environment for Christian pupils, and this hostility must stop,” he said. “Bullying, mocking or intimidation towards pupils on the basis of their Christian faith is unacceptable and needs to be recognized as such.” (Read more from “Girl, 5, Bullied for Saying Grace Before Meal” HERE)

“Trump is using you as a political pawn,” Jones said, “so now you sort of, you’ve endorsed him in a way, you’ve kinda given him legitimacy. You might be in a campaign video – he used you.”
