Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Okay, when we spend much much much much more money on schooling our kids and they graduate and the teachers say 'hey, they didn't learn math...or science...or how to read, but we taught them to have compassion for our ideologies' you think parents are gonna be happy?
No, but that's always been done. Instruction on queerness and gender igeology isn't about compassion, it's about pushing ideas on kids when we send them to government agents, instead of actually teaching them.
Okay, has bullying aimed at anyone been okay in the school system? Have you had a teacher teach you that you can only bully gay people? We've always said don't bully anyone, are gay people not under the 'anyone' umbrella?
Okay, so this whole thing is about you feeling bad for bullying gay people. Don't push gender ideologies onto our kindergartners because you were a dick in school.
What the hell are you even talking about? Do you think school boards will replace math, reading and science with gender equality lessons? Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?
If that were the case you obviously got a shitty education, because you don't seem to have even a basic understanding of tolerance or compassion
Again, what the hell are you talking about? Kids are being taught normal things ALONGSIDE learning how to not be ignorant goons who say shit like "don't push gender ideologies on kids".
Okay, has bullying aimed at anyone been okay in the school system? Have you had a teacher teach you that you can only bully gay people? We've always said don't bully anyone, are gay people not under the 'anyone' umbrella?
Oh, you're one of those "all lives matter" folks? Yes, let's teach kids not to bully anyone... but let's also teach them that LGBTQ people exist and there's nothing wrong with being friends with them. Given the recent rhetoric against marginalized communities, both from religious leaders and conservative politicians, YES I think it's important to stress the fact that these people exist and are worthy of love is an important lesson for our kids to learn.
Yes, I feel bad for being an ignorant kid. Yes, I wish there had been people who could have talked to kids like me about basic concepts like tolerance, acceptance and compassion. But no, I'm not "pushing" anything on anyone. Not because of any kind of misguided guilt or for any other reason. I'm literally just hoping my kids don't grow into people... well... people like you.
There's no "agenda". Kids aren't being "indoctrinated" or "groomed". Kids are just being taught that people are different and that's not a reason to be a dick.
Sorry you have trouble with it. Maybe if you had had someone to teach you these basic concepts you wouldn't find it so icky.
No. I think they're replaced with instruction on transitioning, cross dressing, gender questioning and queer ideological pushes. If you want to teach kids to cross dress, you gotta cut into some other instruction, do you disagree?
Because I don't care that people are straight, or gay or cross dress or a different race, I don't have tolerance? Because I treat every individual, regardless of differences, the same, I don't have compassion?
Sweet, now we can teach kids how to read because inner city kids have the reading levels of neanderthals.
So you're forcing your think on everyone elses kids because you can't come to grips that you were an asshole.
Never said there was.
If I took your kid into a room, at threat of calling CPS on you, and taught them that they should cross dress, is that indoctrinating or grooming?
I don't find it 'icky', believe it or not, I don't like all the same things you do. I've been to some drag brunches and queer bars and what not, not my thing, most of it I think is weird. But do I have a bias against it or find it 'icky'? Nah. That's the problem with you and all your far left friends here, if someone doesn't agree 100% with the shit y'all do, you think we're bigots and hate the people that do it. I don't, it's just not my vibe. I also don't think catholic church is my vibe, but I'm fine with the folk.
