If Your Child’s School Can’t Tell Boys From Girls, How Can You Trust Them on Anything?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last Thursday afternoon, time expired for parents to provide comments on proposed changes to sex education in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), one of the largest school districts in the country, with a population of about 180,000 students. As The Federalist reported last week, the proposal includes labeling boys and girls, respectively, as “assigned” males and females “at birth.” It also includes curricula on “sexual orientation and gender identity” that involves watching a pro-transgender PBS video telling kids they can have “intermediate” private parts.

If you think FCPS officials will carefully consider comments and complaints from parents worried about exposing their prepubescent children to transgender ideology, and perhaps even rethink their plans, I have some swampland in Florida I’d like to sell you. As we have seen from earlier examples of Fairfax County “welcoming comments” on proposed changes to road names, this public survey is nothing more than an empty, perfunctory bureaucratic procedure aimed at pretending that parents have a say regarding what happens during the school day.

Yet even more saliently, FCPS’s willingness to embrace this radical gender ideology and foist it upon thousands of Northern Virginia youth provokes a more important question: If our public schools can’t differentiate boys from girls, what wisdom and knowledge can they impart? . . .

I confess a certain embarrassment to be the one writing on this. When I worked in FCPS, I taught high-school history, not science. Years before that, I earned a respectable but certainly not impressive “B” in my ninth-grade FCPS honors biology class. But I’d like to think the lessons my teacher offered on the rudimentary realities of male and female biology — which of course apply not only to humans but the entirety of the natural order — are still in effect, even if it’s been 24 years since the last time I took a test on stamens, pistils, and gametes. I can still remember us boys immaturely chuckling when our teacher discussed ova and sperm.

But this is no laughing matter. School administrators and educators across the country have dispensed with these basic truths of biology in favor of the latest “findings” from politicized university sociology and “gender studies” departments. Schools take their directives not from biology — or, God forbid, classical philosophy and its articulation of the teleological nature of the human body, oriented, as ova and sperm are, toward the creation of new life — but from politically motivated journalists who attack the few teachers courageous enough to take a stand.

Unvaxxed 14-Year-old Rejected by Top Hospital for Lifesaving Surgery

/0 Comments/in , /by

A problem that already has become so severe in America’s health care industry that a physicians’ group has launched a campaign demanding that Congress intervene has flared again.

This time it is affecting the life of a 14-year-old girl who needs a lifesaving kidney transplant – but has been refused medical care by Duke University Hospital because she is unvaccinated.

WND reported earlier that situation had developed so often that the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons created an online process to allow Americans to email their members of Congress.

The AAPS is demanding that transplant centers be legally prohibited from “treating an individual as ineligible to donate or receive an organ” or assign “a lower priority to an individual waiting to receive an organ” if that individual has declined to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., said his proposal to do just that is in response to “several reports from across the United States of individuals being removed from the organ transplant list or moved to ‘inactive’ status as a result of being unvaccinated.” (Read more from “Unvaxxed 14-Year-old Rejected by Top Hospital for Lifesaving Surgery” HERE)

‘Oh Honey, No’: Jennifer Lawrence Claims She Was First-ever Female Action Movie Lead

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence faced intense backlash after claiming she was the first female action hero in cinema when she starred in “The Hunger Games.”

Speaking with Variety, Lawrence said that prior to her role as Katniss Everdeen, “nobody” had put a woman as the leading role in an action movie, adding that people attempted to keep women out of roles by cultivating a lie about how audiences identify with characters.

“I remember when I was doing ‘Hunger Games,’ nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn’t work — because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead,” she said.

“And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every one of those beliefs, and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To keep certain people in the same positions that they’ve always been in,” Lawrence added.

Prominent Twitter users quickly rushed to correct the actress, offering examples of high-budget action films starring female leads long before Lawrence entered the spotlight.

American Girl Book Promotes Puberty Blockers to Pre-Teens: ‘More Time To Think About Your Gender Identity’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The American Girl company is facing outrage over a book that promotes transgenderism to young girls.

The American Girl company, renowned for its dolls that young girls have adored for generations, published the book titled A Smart Girl’s Guide: Body Image in paperback this past February, and its contents have parents irate.

On page 38 of the book, author Mel Hammond writes that prepubescent readers’ doctors may offer them “medicine” to halt puberty, as the Christian Post reports.

“If you haven’t gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body’s changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity,” an excerpt from the page reads, according to the outlet.

Exorcist Calls Porn ‘an Opening to the Demonic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Monsignor Stephen Rossetti of the Archdiocese of Washington warned about the spiritual dangers of pornography in an email interview Wednesday, calling it ‘an opening to the demonic.’

“A pornography addiction, like any serious sin, is an opening to the demonic,” Rossetti told Catholic News Agency (CNA), according to the National Catholic Register (NCR). “It is never a good thing to exploit people as sexual objects, which the porn industry does,” Rossetti continued. “A porn habit can be an open door to escalating sexual dysfunction.”

Rossetti, 71, has been an exorcist for over 15 years for the Archdiocese in addition to working 30 years a a licensed psychologist, according to NCR.

Pope Francis echoed a similar warning on Oct. 24 about the dangers of digital pornography to seminarians studying in Rome, CNA reported.

“The devil enters from there. It weakens the priestly heart,” the Holy Father said, according to the report. “And if from your cell phone you can delete this, delete it, so you won’t have temptation at hand. And if you can’t delete it, protect yourself properly so you don’t have access to this. I tell you, it weakens the soul.” (Read more from “Exorcist Calls Porn ‘an Opening to the Demonic’” HERE)

‘Snapchat Surgeon’ Has Medical License Suspended After Botched ‘Feminization’ Surgery Leaves Patient Blind: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Christopher Inglefield, a surgeon who streams his surgeries on Snapchat, had his medical license suspended after his patient went blind in one eye due to complications from a facial feminization surgery, according to the Daily Mail.

Inglefield specializes in transgender surgeries including genital surgery and a host of cosmetic procedures altering the face and body to resemble the opposite sex, according to the website of his employer, the London Transgender Clinic. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) determined Inglefield had failed to report his patient’s vision loss to medical regulators, according to the Daily Mail.

Facial feminization surgery involves shaving down facial bones to make a male patient present as female. A patient who underwent the procedure with Inglefield in August 2018 completely lost vision in one eye, and regulators have said the doctor falsely claimed he had reported the incident in a meeting that November, according to the Daily Mail. MPTS labeled the action “dishonest” and suspended his medical license for 28 days.

First Disney Movie With Teen Gay Romance Falls Short at Box Office

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney’s first animated film featuring a teen homosexual romance fell far short of expectations at the box office, bringing in under $20 million in tickets sold in its first five days in theaters, according to Nash Information Services.

“Strange World” is the latest product for a company that has not been shy about its commitment to progressive ideology. According to a survey by the American Conservative Values ETF (ACVF), an investment advisory service, conservatives now rate Disney as the “most woke or liberal” company in America.

Released on Nov. 23, the animated science-fiction adventure includes a teenage boy named Ethan who has same-sex desires. Ethan is one of the main characters, and his sexuality is a minor plot point in the movie, which mostly focuses on the connection between fathers and sons.

Variety magazine reported the film’s budget to be $180 million. Deadline Hollywood reported that the movie cost Disney $135 million.

“Strange World” features two scenes in which Ethan bats eyes at his gay teenage crush, Diazo. Every character in the movie unequivocally accepts Ethan’s homosexuality. (Read more from “First Disney Movie With Teen Gay Romance Falls Short at Box Office” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Washington’s Evergreen Public Schools (EPS) banned and then quickly unbanned the playing of Christmas music on school buses.

The district, located in Vancouver, Washington, sent out the memo, which was addressed to “All School Bus Drivers.”

The memo, obtained by Breitbart News, was titled “Christmas Music with Students on Board.” It read, “Please refrain from playing Christmas music while students of any grade level are on your school bus.”

The memo, dated November 28th, 2022, went on to say, “We want our students who do not celebrate” to “feel safe and comfortable on the bus and those who do have opportunities outside of school to sing their songs.” The memo was signed “Yvonne” by Yvonne Gaylord, the district’s Transportation Director.

EPS told Breitbart News that the policy had been changed. Their statement read, “The guidance has already been amended and holiday music is among the music options that bus drivers can choose to play on their buses.” (Read more from “School District Bans, Then Unbans Christmas Music on Buses” HERE)

Out for ‘Blood’: Country Tries to Seize Guardianship of Baby Over Parents’ Vaccine Stance

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New Zealand’s government health service has applied to remove guardianship of a 4-month-old baby boy from his parents after they demanded that his life-saving surgery can proceed only with blood that does not contain the COVID-19 vaccine.

Health New Zealand, also known as Te Whatu Ora, made a court application Monday with the Auckland High Court to transfer guardianship under the Care of Children Act so the baby can receive the operation, according to court documents reported by the New Zealand Herald.

The baby’s parents recently explained their position during an interview with Liz Gunn, a broadcaster from New Zealand who has raised concerns about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.

Explaining how their son has severe pulmonary valve stenosis and needs surgery “almost immediately,” the parents said they are “extremely concerned with the blood [the doctors] are going to use.” . . .

The parents maintained that more than 20 unvaccinated people were willing to donate the blood for their son’s operation, but that had not been approved by the government’s New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS), according to the New Zealand Herald.

Another Fashion Designer Tied to Satanism and Child Abuse

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A fashion stylist connected to haute-couture fashion house Balenciaga broke her silence after being accused of posting images featuring graphic violence against children.

Lotta Volkova worked hand-in-hand with Balenciaga’s creative director Demna Gvasalia until 2017 and was forced to set her Instagram account to ‘private’ after facing backlash over the images she posted to social media, according to Newsweek.

Tweets directing attention to her photographs went viral as fans called out the label and its celebrity supporters, demanding answers and calling for Volkova to face consequences.

The stylist’s social media pages came under scrutiny after Balenciaga shared a controversial ad campaign that featured children holding stuffed bears dressed in BDSM gear and a partially hidden printout of a Supreme Court case dealing with child pornography. The fashion label has since announced a $25 million lawsuit against the production company responsible for the ads.

On Volkova’s Instagram page, fans uncovered scenes of violence and Satanic imagery, much of it involving children, although it remains unclear if Volkova photographed the images herself or just shared them to her online profile, according to Newsweek. Volkova’s representative spoke on her behalf, saying “she condemns the abuse of children in any form,” according to the outlet.
