I have posted the following OR parts of this on several threads over the past months. HOWEVER, for the larger audience, I am making this separate post for the HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE! This is a case of ADULTS ATTACKING vulnerable children and they (Academia/LEFT/Hollywood/Biden Administration) want this to continue!!!

I speak of the 1980-90s "Day-Care Sex-Abuse Hysteria" that swept the US (and elsewhere) with accusations based upon very little physical evidence but much 'testimony' from 3-7 yo CHILDREN with lots of psychological terms like 'repressed memory' & 'recovered memory' ALLOWED in criminal courts and used for CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS!

Frequently referred to as the "Satanic Panic" and the McMartin Preschool Cases, much of the 'evidence' derived from prosecution efforts to get usable testimony from these very young children/victims using what has since become extremely controversial means! Indeed, a 2008 Harvard Magazine article "Repressed Memory", cited a study by Professor of Psychiatry Harrison Pope, co-director of the Biological Psychiatry Lab at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital & colleagues [Psychological Medicine] that sought historical & contemporary valid cases of "an inability to recall a traumatic experience at one point and the subsequent recovery of that memory." Even with an offer of $1,000, no such valid case was presented after a 3 language/30 country publicity campaign.

Yet some of these prosecutors never looked back and prospered! Bill Clinton's 3rd pick for US Attorney General, Janet Reno, achieved much 'fame' for her prosecution of the Miami-Dade "Country Walk Babysitting Service" that convicted 4 people to prison terms. It can be wondered if her attitudes from that case carried into the 1993 Waco, TX prosecution and disaster of the Branch Davidians?

Key stat: In the 1990s & 2000s, almost (1 prior abuser still in prison) EVERY convicted person was exonerated or released, mostly by the prosecutors & courts that convicted them! Many have remarked on the resemblance to earlier historical abuses triggered by 'hysteria', such as Salem Witch Trials.

All of the above is a lengthy plea to REMEMBER HISTORY! Experts are frequently NOT! Young children are easily manipulated! In future histories, will this be regarded as the same? I fear/hope so!

...and a growing number of LGBTQ teachers and allies across the country are worried about the impact this and similar legislation could have on students [3-7 age].

Three-to-seven year olds?! C'mon!

“Some of America’s most highly regarded teachers”

****

I have no regard for teachers who want to have their students raped and groomed by sick tranny pukes. The arrogance..

I read that as highly retarded teachers.

If you’re trying to take away parental authority over their children, YOU are the problem. If you’re trying to sexualize children, YOU are the problem and should be jailed.

If you want to talk to small children about sex, you’re a groomer, not a teacher.

Oh for the days where a Miss Finkhouser would teach the 3 “r’s” and not some perverted political agenda.

If sexual content is NOT being taught in K - 3rd grade, then banning its discussion and teaching should NOT be a problem. Why the big stink about it? This lead me to think they are lying about sexual content NOT being taught and there is evidence they are lying.

“Young children are easily manipulated!”

Did he touch you there?

Yes.

It felt GOOD, didn’t it?

Uh, yes.

Well of course they do.

The college major that traditionally attracts the lowest GPA, laziest and most poorly educated students is, of course, education.

Certainly, there are some good ones, but the vast majority rely on the teachers’ unions to run interference for them and keep them employed when parents challenge them.

The only good thing about this situation is that some scrutiny is being given to sex abuse stats among public school teachers…which are shocking and way higher than that of clergy of any denomination.

Even though teachers are speaking out against Florida, are they really saying anything?

What ultimately counts is voting power and parents probably have much more voting power than LGBQ teachers and teaching unions.

From related thread...

It remains that parents and union members have one vote each, at least by law.

But in rough comparison of the voting power of parents versus unions, combined voting power of teacher's union members, about 4 million, doesn't come close to Trump's red tsunami of 74+ million patriot voters.

Corrections, insights welcome.

And speaking of voting, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

It is important to notice that no actual parents have spoken against the Bill.

I think a in depth investigation will show that a good number of those “Satanic Panic” cases were not hoaxes after all.

“The Franklin Coverup:...” by Joe Decamp is well worth a read.

Video cameras should be in every K12 classroom with access limited to the parents. And then the predators masquerading as teachers can be identified and properly dealt with.

An excerpt from the letter states that they "stand firmly against any practice or legislation that silences or opposes references to LGBTQIA+ people or to their access to care, such as is occurring in Florida and Texas."

Sexuality of any sort should not be discussed by teachers or school officials with students of any age.

Trying to corrupt the minds of innocent children with that depraved, selfish agenda is just sick and criminal.

I’ve never been one to go around condemning people to Hell because that’s not my place. (I’m sure we all know people who do that.) But I suspect there’s going to be a shortage of millstones.
