Right After The Election

The poster above is is from just one recent controversy involving school curricula that effectively groom children for all the variants of pansexualism. In this particular case,

New Jersey mother Angela Reading revealed she was told she was being 'monitored' by local law enforcement, after airing concerns about posters hanging at the entrance of her seven-year-old's school in North Hanover Township.

Reportedly part of an assignment to create a 'safe space' for students, the colorful art installations contain language that tout different sorts of sexuality, including the virtues of being both 'poly-' and 'pansexual' - all scrawled in children's handwriting.

The added wrinkle is the woman "revealed cops became privy to her since-deleted Facebook post after being tipped [off] by a lieutenant colonel at nearby military base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, who took issue with the post."

The military official - a senior staffer at the New Jersey military base - said that staffers were working with local police to 'monitor the situation' while ensuring 'the continued safety of the entire community.'

In the Chicago area, the private Parker School became immersed in controversy when a Project Veritas reporter posing as a conference attendee interviewed a school administrator:

The video captures the dean talking last week about a visit to Francis W. Parker School by an LGBTQ health organization to discuss queer sexual health with high schoolers.

. . . Parker leaders sent a letter to the school community late Wednesday saying “we are heartbroken that one of our colleague’s words have been severely misrepresented for a malicious purpose.” The letter offered strong support for their faculty and staff and for the school’s “inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and comprehensive approach to sex education.”

The school said the local alderman helped it expand the police presence around its Lincoln Park campus, and it has implemented higher security measures. At least one person marched in front of the school on Thursday to protest the school’s sex ed curriculum.

I was immediately curious to see whether any Parker School parents objected to the LGBTQ visit, which as portrayed in the Project Veritas video didn't say anything about "queer sexual health" but did involve distributing dildos and butt plugs to the students. Apparently there was no mass withdrawal of students by irate parents, and the Parker School website suggests why:

Francis W. Parker School educates students to think and act with empathy, courage and clarity as responsible citizens and leaders in a diverse democratic society and global community.

So the parents are spending as much as $42,300 per year for just the sort of queer sex ed the school provides, and they feel good about it. In fact, per the link above,

Parker leaders sent a letter to the school community late Wednesday saying “we are heartbroken that one of our colleague’s words have been severely misrepresented for a malicious purpose.” The letter offered strong support for their faculty and staff and for the school’s “inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and comprehensive approach to sex education.”

As with the Hanover Township controversy, the fact that a school would be grooming pre-teens and teens for pansexualism is represented as a public safety issue, with the groomers portrayed as potential victims who must be protected from concerned parents, who must in turn be monitored by law enforcement.

Again, Admiral Levine themselves weighs in:

Dr. Rachel Levine, a man who identifies as a woman, tried to enlist children’s doctors and nurses into the transgender activist movement, urging them to become evangelists and preach the gospel of transgenderism. Anything less would be a betrayal of their profession and science itself, he argued.

Levine, assistant secretary of health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, claimed that there is a large population of biological males who are really female and vice versa, and these people are likely to commit suicide unless doctors pump them with drugs to delay puberty, introduce a hormone disease into their bodies, and perhaps even remove healthy body parts.

. . . He championed “acceptance” as a life-saving message; painted opponents of his ideology as driven by an “agenda” that has “nothing to do with warmth, empathy, compassion, or understanding”; and sent forth the doctors as his new apostles.

. . . Levine painted a dire picture of an oppressed people, citing high rates of suicidal thoughts and attempted suicides. He blamed this predicament on a demonic society, dismissing any notion that transgender identity may contribute to mental health struggles.

It's unfortunate, though, that current controversies over grooming minor children have emerged at the same time as the controversy over Admiral Levine's other high-profile government colleague, Sam Brinton, who is currently sought on two felony warrants for stealing designer luggage from airport baggage carousels. It's worth noting, though, that Brinton, prior to his career as a serial felon, had actually been a high-profile advocate for just the sort of empathetic grooming advocated by Admiral Levine and woke school curricula:

Sam is one of the world’s leading advocates for LGBTQ youth. They are the founder of the 50 Bill 50 States campaign at The Trevor Project to end the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy, first in the United States and then around the globe.

However, even among the gay community there were doubts about the guy:

The criminal case against the activist is damning. Brinton had no checked luggage, precluding this being a case of accidentally taking the wrong bag. Video surveillance captured Brinton removing the suitcase from the carousel and putting the bag’s tag in their handbag before leaving “at a quick pace,” the police complaint read.

While this is a personal calamity for Brinton, the fallout faced by the LGBTQ community could have easily been avoided. The red flags regarding Brinton were overwhelming and obvious to all who cared to see them. Unfortunately, some of America’s top LGBTQ activists and organizations were willfully blind to Brinton’s shortcomings.

This is all a developing story. What I see right now, though, is a misplaced opportunism and premature triumphalism for the current Democrat agenda, which may be misreading the significance of its narrow escape from defeat in the midterms. Clearly pansexualism has become a major part of its current agenda, which has largely departed from traditional leftism centered on the working class. Right now, the focus of the Democrat and never-Trump establishment is driving a stake through Donald Trump's heart, when Trump himself is making this completely unnecessary and a wasted effort.

The problem is that at least as of now, the Republican who looks better for the 2024 nomination is Gov DeSantis, who has already recognized and built a solid record on the grooming issue -- and in fact, this record was part of his convincing November win in Florida. And grooming is a class-based issue, as we see with instances like the support for it at the expensive Parker School. Latins and African-Americans are not on board.
