They Are In A Tizzy!

And it is all about an apostrophe.

That’s right, a little lonely apostrophe and they are hoping up and down mad over it!

The problem… Mothers’ Day. Because some people have two moms.

Peanuts Mother's Day special declares 'some kids have two moms' amid media push for LGBT inclusion

An upcoming Apple TV special featuring the characters from the Peanuts comic strip will promote same-sex families in the latest example of children’s programming incorporating LGBT-related content.

On Friday, Apple TV released a trailer for an upcoming Mother’s Day special titled “Snoopy Presents To Mom (and Dad), with Love.” The special, scheduled for release Friday, stars the characters from the Peanuts comic strip including Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Snoopy, Woodstock and others.

Throughout the video, Peppermint Patty appears upset and uneasy about the upcoming holiday. A loud scream from her causes the cake that Charlie Brown prepared for his mother to fall on Lucy. “Apparently, Mother’s Day is not her favorite holiday,” Charlie Brown concludes.

When Peppermint Patty tells Marcie, “I don’t know why I get so upset,” her friend replies that it was “because you miss your mom.” At this point, Peppermint Patty laments that she “never had a mom.”

“Maybe you miss what moms do,” Marcie says. Peppermint Patty remarks, “My dad does all that mom stuff for me," adding: “For Mother’s Day, I’m going to celebrate my dad.”

Whoa! That is approaching some dangerous ground.

From there, Peppermint Patty asks, “There are all types of moms, right?” After responding, “of course,” Marcie notes that “some kids have two moms.”

Did you hear that! Blasphemy! How dare they say that! They are grooming the children! Yup, the usual right-wing dribble they are shouting.

The Peanuts special’s promotion of the idea of having “two moms” is not the only example of modern children’s programming featuring well-established cartoon characters attempting to introduce children to LGBT ideology.

So for them inclusion is a four letter word. Inclusion of divorced parents is bad. Inclusion of single parents is bad. Inclusion of LGBTQ parents is bad. For them Mother's Day is only for white Christian straight, and cis-gender parents. Everything else is “Woke.”

Concerns about the exposure of small children to LGBT ideology prompted the Florida legislature to pass House Bill 1557, which prevents school officials from discussing matters related to sexual orientation and gender identity with students in kindergarten through third grade. The Walt Disney Company, which operates the Walt Disney World theme park in Orlando, Florida, is well-known for producing family-friendly programming. It emerged as a staunch critic of House Bill 1557.

It is funny who they have only one world view and that is theirs. The Tallahassee Democrat wrote,

Vivian Taylor, a seventh-grade teacher in Miami, says she was told to hardly discuss Emmett Till – the 14-year-old victim of one of the US’s most notorious lynchings – in her civics classes because under Florida’s year-old “stop woke” law, “people say you’re not supposed to talk about that because it will make children uncomfortable”.

Tell how does not talking about LGBT subject make a child who LGBTQ+ or has to moms, or two dads feel? Do you think not being able to talk about your parents makes the LGBTQ+ student uncomfortable? But that doesn’t count, only if white straight, cis-gender, Christians count.

 

 

"Displays Of Personal Ideologies In Classrooms."

Do you want to guess what the display of “personal Ideologies” was? It is a dozy!

Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends

A bizarre racist outburst at a Texas school board isn't an isolated event — it's part of a national pattern

Considering how rapidly the right's "war on woke" is expanding, it was perhaps inevitable: Self-identified "mama bears" on a Texas school board are angry that a classroom had a poster showing people of different races holding hands. Last week, the school board in Conroe, Texas, a small city north of Houston, turned the right-wing mania for censorship into a dark parody of itself. At issue? A poster that seemed to imply that interracial friendship is possible. 

According to ABC 13 Eyewitness News in Houston, things started when school trustee Melissa Dungan declared that she had spoken to parents who were upset about "displays of personal ideologies in classrooms." When pressed for an example, according to the news report, "Dungan referred to a first grade student whose parent claimed they were so upset by a poster showing hands of people of different races, that they transferred classrooms."

Did you get that?

She was ticked off by children holding hands!

Some other members of the school board did, in fact, argue that there was nothing objectionable about such a poster. But Dungan was backed up by another trustee, Misty Odenweller, who insisted that the depiction of uh, race-mixing was in some way a "violation of the law." The two women are part of "Mama Bears Rising," a secretive far-right group fueling the book-banning mania in Conroe and the surrounding area. At least 59 books have been banned due to their efforts. 

She wasn’t the only one to think that and she had the backing of other Board members!

The right-wing conservative are anti-Black, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-women, anti-Jewish, anti-Islamic, anti-immigrants. They are forming on social networks and getting bolder with their animosity.

Moms for Liberty has heavily promoted trainings for conservative activists on how to take over school boards, which ought to make clear how we should understand stories like this one, which just sound like a racist tantrum in a Texas suburb. These aren't random or isolated events — they're part of a large, well-organized and well-financed attack on public education across the country. Mama Bears Rising, the group that fueled the Conroe school board takeover, in unsurprisingly discreet about its connections to the larger national movement for censorship. But screenshots of online communications by local anti-censorship activists suggests that it's no coincidence that the books targeted for censorship in Conroe are the same ones that show up on book-ban lists across the country. Mama Bears Rising is drawing on the same playbook that's being disseminated nationwide through a well-funded network of Christian nationalist activists.

They are being funded by billionaires. Last year the Guardian had an article about right-wing billionaires funding them.

America’s billionaire class is funding anti-democratic forces

Billionaire donors are pushing an unsettling agenda for America – backing Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen, calling for restrictions on voting and even questioning the value of democracy itself

Decades ago, America’s monied interests bankrolled a Republican establishment that believed in fiscal conservatism, anti-communism and constitutional democracy.

Today’s billionaire class is pushing a radically anti-democratic agenda for America – backing Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen, calling for restrictions on voting and even questioning the value of democracy.

Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech financier who is among those leading the charge, once wrote, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

[…]

Thiel and his fellow billionaires in the anti-democracy movement don’t want to conserve much of anything – at least not anything that occurred after the 1920s, which includes Social Security, civil rights, and even women’s right to vote. As Thiel wrote:

The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women – two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians – have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

Rubbish. If “capitalist democracy” is becoming an oxymoron, it’s not because of public assistance or because women got the right to vote. It’s because billionaire capitalists like Thiel are drowning democracy in giant campaign donations to authoritarian candidates who repeat Trump’s big lie.

There is only one way to stop is to vote Blue!

Ohio showed that it is possible to stop the Republican juggernaut by the vote. We need to get the “Out-to-Vote” better than the Republicans. We need a repeat of Ohio to throw the bums out and stop this craziness.

We need to bring back the tax brackets we had during the time of the biggest economic growth we had in this country that were in place in the 50's, 60s, and 70s! We need to bring back the "Estate Tax" to prevent the billionaires from creating dynasties that are passed on from one generation to another!

This Is What They Will Not Be Hearing!

This is what they are censoring, they don’t want the children to hear this, you can’t speak his name, they don’t want children to hear about people who changed the world.

Southern California school board rejects curriculum that mentions Harvey Milk

The controversy centered over a three-paragraph mention of the gay rights figure in supplemental materials.

TEMECULA, Calif. — A Southern California school board has become the latest proxy for culture wars brewing across the country after a conservative bloc voted to formally reject state-endorsed curriculum that would have mentioned gay rights figure Harvey Milk. 

On Tuesday, a heated Temecula Valley Unified School District board meeting dissolved into shouts and jeers as parents, teachers and community members confronted one another over a three-paragraph mention of Milk in supplemental materials for students in grades one through five. 

At least three people were ejected from the five-hour hearing and escorted outside by law enforcement officers. In the parking lot, stickers in support of the far-right Proud Boys group mysteriously appeared on cars.

Why? Why can’t they talk about Harvey Milk in class? He was a historical person who changed the world, up there along with all the other people and protests… Marsha Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, 1959 Cooper's Donuts, 1965 Dewey’s Lunch Counter Protest, 1966 Compton Cafeteria Uprising, 1966 The Black Cat Tavern.

“Cancel culture has gone too far in Temecula: radicalized zealots on the school board rejected a textbook used by hundreds of thousands of students and now children will begin the school year without the tools they need to learn,” Newsom said in a recent statement.

Who are the real “Cancel Culture” who are banning books? Who have banned “Say Gay”?

So what do they not want you to hear about?
