115-Year-Old Boy Scouts of America Ditches Name to Be More ‘Gender-Neutral’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 115-year-old organization known as the Boy Scouts of America has officially changed its name to be more “gender neutral.”

The official change happened on Saturday and the organization is now called Scouting America, according to Fox News.

In 2013, the organization began allowing gay young people to join and later ended a ban on gay adult leaders, the article continued:

President and CEO Roger Krone told the Associated Press there was “some backlash,” but said there was a small spike in membership after announcing the rebranding in May.

“The fact that we were going with a more kind of gender-neutral name, a lot of people kind of wanted to know more about it,” Krone told the AP.

New Law Requires Schools to Have Gender Neutral Restroom

A new California law will require all of the state’s public schools to soon have a gender-neutral bathroom.

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law on Saturday.

Under the new bathroom law, public schools teaching first through 12th grade must have at least one gender-neutral bathroom available for students by 2026.

California already requires K-12 public schools to allow students to use the bathroom of the opposite sex if it matches their gender identity, due to a 2013 law.

However, the new law expands the bathroom requirements to explicitly require another gender-neutral restroom. (Read more from “New Law Requires Schools to Have Gender Neutral Restroom” HERE)

Hollywood Actress Takes Stand Against Genderless Awards — And Inadvertently Exposes Inherent Problem With Gender Ideology

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood actress Jameela Jamil is taking a stand against gender-neutral award categories.

With the rise of gender ideology and an increasing number of people identifying as transgender or non-binary, the Academy Awards are facing pressure to eliminate gender-specific Oscar award categories. The Grammys and MTV Movie & TV Awards, for instance, have already dropped gender-specific awards. . .

“Would it not be better to give non-binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women given the known disproportionate amount of men vs women winning at award shows?” the actress wrote on Instagram over the weekend.

The irony of Jamil’s stance is that she supports gender ideology. In that same post, she wrote that it is “GREAT” that Hollywood now has enough “non-binary talent” to necessitate restructuring award shows. She just fears that eliminating gender categories will decrease the number of women who are recognized for their work on the big screen.

Thus, while supporting trans gender ideology, Jamil exposes the inherent problem with pretending that biological sex is fluid. (Read more from “Hollywood Actress Takes Stand Against Genderless Awards — And Inadvertently Exposes Inherent Problem With Gender Ideology” HERE)

Supreme Court Considers Forcing Judges to Use Preferred Pronouns for Attorneys, Litigants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Michigan’s highest court is considering a rule change that would require judges to refer to attorneys and litigants by their preferred pronouns.

The Michigan Supreme Court sent a notice on January 18 that it was considering an amendment to Rule 1.109 of the Michigan Court Rules to force courts to comply with attorneys’ and parties’ desired pronouns in speech and in writing. Now, over a dozen Michigan judges and attorneys have expressed concern for what the rule’s implications would mean for free speech and religious liberty.

“Parties and attorneys may … include any personal pronouns in the name section of the caption, and courts are required to use those personal pronouns when referring to or identifying the party or attorney, either verbally or in writing,” the proposed rule states.

Michigan judges and attorneys are writing to the court and speaking out about the problematic amendment. In an eight-page response to the proposed rule, William R. Bloomfield, general counsel for the Diocese of Lansing, said that it would be a direct violation of the First Amendment.

“In brief, requiring courts, i.e., judges, to use a person’s own designated personal pronouns is an unconstitutional violation of free speech and free exercise of religion,” he wrote, adding, “And as vital as the interest in free speech is for ordinary citizens, or groups of citizens, it is perhaps even more important for judges to be free of any compulsory speech.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Considers Forcing Judges to Use Preferred Pronouns for Attorneys, Litigants” HERE)
