Thomas Bakondy, Ainsley’s dad, told me that he has sent a number of NTEB articles to school board member Tom Edwards, an openly-gay “married” man, and that Edwards has led the charge with drafting policies that allow children to choose their pronouns without parental consent or notification. So what did the longtime NTEB-reading Bakondy family do? They did exactly as we are always calling people to do, to respectfully push back against this rising tide of darkness and preach Jesus! Kudos to you, Bakondy family, that’s real front lines stuff, keep it up.
Another NTEB’er named Kim wrote to me earlier and said this:
“I have been a Sunday school teacher for 15 years and this past Sunday I believe I had the most intense conversation with a kid that I have ever had. This girl, Amber, is in the 6th grade and was the only kid in my class this week. She began asking me questions about what I thought about Transgender and people that are transitioning. It caught me off guard because no kid, at our small Baptist country church, has ever brought this up before. I am well aware of the movement BUT I have never had a conversation with a child about it before. This 6th grader is very knowledgeable about LGBTQIA, transgender, and the terms they use. I told my husband about it after church and I said it is like she has been groomed for this. I told her that I did not agree that people should change their gender. God created us in his image. We are male or female and God does not make mistakes. He knows us from the womb before we are born into this world. We read scripture in several places.
She proceeds to tell me that her teacher is Non-binary and prefers the pronoun They. (this made me wonder what they call the teacher….Mr.? Mrs? Ms? Teacher? So much confusion in this 6th grade class). She also tells me that a lot of students at her middle school is Pan-Sexual. Amber stated that LGBTQIA + people love God too and they have Pastors that support them. She wanted to know where our church stands on these issues?
What 11 year old thinks and ask stuff like this? I explained to her that God does not support this lifestyle / transgenders.We read some verses in Roman 1. I also told her that any “Pastor” that supports this is a false teacher and deceiving people. She went on to explain to me how she hates her body, wants her hair cut really short and mentioned that transgender and LGBTQ has cool haircuts and hairstyles and she even described it to me. Her Grandma, who brings her to church, will not let her get her haircut. Praise God for Grandma!
This discussion made me realize how much I did NOT know about this movement. It made me realize that I needed to educate myself more about it so that I can witness to children that come in my Sunday School class. The devil is targeting our children like never before and it seems the church is just sitting idly by. It bothered me all Sunday afternoon and took me a while to go to sleep that night thinking about this girl and if I said the right things. My first thought was to present the gospel and that is what I tried my best to do.
I am praying for God to help me with this, read my bible more and most of all pray more.” – Kim
Wherever you live, across America or around the world, if you’re saved you are called to open your mouth and witness Jesus Christ as the darkness rises all around you. Soon we will be called away and caught up to the clouds to be with Jesus, before we go, let’s get something done that will make it through the Judgment Seat. TO THE FIGHT!!!
The Washington Post published a hit piece on this and other matters involving Sarasota (and by extension, larger politics) over a week ago. Doesn't look like it's anywhere here on FR, but here is a link:
As community veers right, political division tears apart Sarasota, Fla.
Short version, the poor lefties don't like living alongside us deplorables, particularly when we hold political power. What's new?
Thanks for the post FRiend!
We can probably expect more political excoriation and violence from leftists when push comes to shove.
Pray for Florida!
“Banging Beyond Binaries”
The School District of Philadelphia encouraged teachers to attend a conference on “kink,

Last year, the School District of Philadelphia encouraged teachers to attend a conference on “kink,” “BDSM,” “trans sex,” and “banging beyond binaries.”
In early July 2021, the district’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion sent invitations to the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference to teachers and staff on the SDP Connect mailing list, promoting the conference as a way to “learn more about the issues facing the trans community.” The conference was organized by the Mazzoni Center, an LGBTQ activist organization that has worked with the district on sexual-education programs. (When reached for comment, the School District of Philadelphia described its promotion of the conference as part of its commitment to “creating equitable and inclusive environments,” and said it did “not have any information” on the number of teachers who attended the event. The Mazzoni Center did not return request for comment.)
I have obtained videos from a publicly accessible website that show that the conference went far beyond the school district’s euphemism about “issues facing the trans community.” The event included sessions on topics such as “The Adolescent Pathway: Preparing Young People for Gender-Affirming Care,” “Bigger Dick Energy: Life After Masculinizing [Gender Reassignment Surgery],” “Prosthetics for Sex,” “The Ins and Outs of Masturbation Sleeves,” and “Trans Sex: Banging Beyond Binaries.” The conference attendees included educators, activists, adults, and adolescents. There were graphic sessions on prosthetic penises, masturbation toys, and artificial ejaculation devices, which some hosts explicitly promoted to minors. As one session host explained, “there’s no age limit, because I feel like everybody should be able to access certain information.”
The conference began with presentations promoting puberty blockers, hormone treatments, breast removals, and genital surgeries. In one session, “The Adolescent Pathway Preparing Young People for Gender-Affirming Care,” Dr. Scott Mosser, the principal at the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco, explained that he has performed “over two thousand top surgeries,” which involve removing girls’ breasts, and that there is no age limit for beginning the “gender journey.” “I do not have a minimum age of any sort in my practice,” he said, explaining that he would be willing to consult with children as young as ten years old with parental consent.

They treat themselves pretty well don’t they.
Sarasota is a nice place but started to veer Left about 25 years ago. It is good to see some populist pushback, finally.
The more I see of these "trans" or "non-binary" or "pan-sexual" or whatever they are/call themselves, the more I believe that the public school system needs to be abolished entirely.
The following article was put on FR a week ago, but the poster who did it had the incorrect link, and the thread got pulled. So it was only up here briefly. I think it’s one that may be touching on the story you’re talking about.
Yes, many thanks — that column you pointed me to is indeed talking about that WaPo hit piece. Rod Thompson. Good man. I’ve known him for quite a while.

Thanks for links Matt
You’re welcome. I really enjoyed his article. He showed so well how the media tilts an issue to fit their preconceived ideas and doesn’t even do basic homework for an article. They just mold it to fit their ideology.
It’s refreshing to hear a young mind that hasn’t been polluted with radical twisted propaganda she’s pure America.
There is evil afoot in our school systems...
“the lefties are rallying their forces on every front to ensure that their subversion of public schools into incubators of insanity stays firmly in place.”
Look up, “Fabian Socialists” sometime. They’ve been at it for over 100 years. Their plan? Implement socialism in America by slow, stealth takeover of schools, media, and courts.
The Fabians. They’re here, everywhere, and mission almost accomplished. Semi-secret society.
