Well, she smelled the coffee and told us, “Hey, I smelled the coffee.” I said to her: “Mornin’, doll!”

You are a wise person. I wept in private for release from what I saw happening in public schools and then decided to retire from a system just rotting from the inside out.(Read my tagline.)I retired at 64 and wouldn’t take any amount of money for even 1 day since. Public schools are black pits of entrapment, destroying the hearts and minds of those most innocent amoungst us. Can you name anything more important than your child’s life. Of course not. You know beforehand, even before they are born, you would give your life for them.

I **shun** government teachers.

No one is holding a gun to their heads.
They **willingly** uphold a system that is evil.
They ***willing** do it for money.

There are arill some ok rural country schools that are ok- not great, but at least not tiven over entirely to evil. One school for instance was telling the students thst they are required to teach certain subjects, but that thye thesleves do not beleive them, and for the students to use critical,thinking skills to decide what is right and not to jusy take a book’s word for issues. Of,course these schools are coming under more and more pressure from hateful parents who oppose anything but far left education for their kids, and those eparents scream their lungs out when they learn that a teacher doesn’t enthusiastically support the ,iberal nonsense

Notice how they distort words. The pronouns are “preferred.” A normal person would think this means “I would like it if you use these pronouns, but It’s OK if you don’t.”

But that’s not what happens. Soon you’ll be arrested for sexual harassment for not using them. That’s “mandated,” not “preferred.”

If they’re going to throw people in jail for using the “wrong” pronouns, then they must pass a law that explicitly states that you must use the preferred pronouns or you have committed a crime. That obviously violates the Constitution and would be challenged.

So they prefer to disguise the fact that they have criminalized the use of pronouns by not passing a law but by just declaring it a crime to use the wrong ones.

We are rapidly sinking into total fascism.

And this makes me wonder, just how many “transgender” or uncertain gendered persons are there,

Historically, 0.01% or 1 in 10,000 suffered from gender dysphoria. That has radically changed. It predominantly is found among teenage females, which you and I probably do not run into. It is now common to hear this pronoun business at universities and in leftist politics.

Transgender pronouns are a tool to compel speech. That’s an all out assault on free speech. Take a look at Canada’s law compelling the use of pronouns. I also believe there are several American cities that require people to use these pronouns, including NYC.

Check out Jordon Peterson on YouTube. There are tons of videos dealing with the cause of gender dysphoria and his fight against compelled speech. He is a serious psychologist and in my estimation he is one of the few based in real science. It’s not psycho-babble.

Compelled speech is compelled thought. We think with words. Changing words changes your thought. I knew this starting with feminists requiring the use of Ms. The result is an assault on marriage. This abuse of language continued with political correctness and has accelerated with wokeness.

Lol. Damn, you weren’t supposed to see that. I’m just yanking the guy’s chain. I’m a Gator for life, or I hope I am. I just didn’t like his snarky reply when I asked the original poster to post the whole article. I’m pretty sure it would be allowed from the small news outlet that put out the article. Thanks for asking DFW.

An eye opener from the article:

*** according to the 2021 Pew Research, 56% of Americans believe gender is based on biological reality***

Roughly half of us. I think I know what’s wrong with the country now. That should be something like 98% believe gender is based on biological reality. We have lost to the wackos. Lost.
