Recently, a 13-year-old girl was called “despicable” by her progressive, tolerant, inclusive, and nonjudgmental teacher at a Church of England school in the United Kingdom after asking a classmate how she could identify as a cat.

The schoolgirl– and her friend– were reprimanded by the Rye College teacher near the end of an eighth grade “life education” class, in which they were told: “Be who you want to be and how you identify is up to you,” according to The Telegraph.

Following the “lesson,” one of the students asked a classmate: “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?” Good question. Inquiring minds want to know.

But not the teacher, who then informed the students they were being reported to school administrators and would no longer be welcome at the school if they continued to express radical beliefs such as that one can’t become another sex– or species—simply by claiming to be one.  

A video clip, taken by one of the students, shows the teacher remarking, “How dare you, you’ve just really upset someone” by “questioning their identity.”

To which the student replies: “If they want to identify as a cat or something then they are genuinely unwell – crazy.” The teacher then proceeds to ask the young girls where they got the preposterous notion that there are only two genders. The indoctrinator educator avers: “Gender is not linked to the parts that you were born with, gender is how you identify, which is what I said right from the very beginning of the lesson.” Right. Gender in no way correlates to the “parts that you were born with,” which are randomly distributed– for some reason. Or, more likely, no reason at all.

The teacher stated: “There is actually three biological sexes because you can be born with male and female body parts or hormones,” and added, “there are lots of genders – there is transgender, there is a gender who are people who don’t believe that they have a gender at all.” There “is” three biological sexes? Good thing the English teacher isn’t an English teacher. As for “male and female body parts,” she just got through saying that body parts have no relevance to one’s sex, so she promptly—if accidentally—contradicted herself.

The students, far wiser, disagreed, telling the teacher, “If you have a vagina you’re a girl and if you have a penis you’re a boy.” 

This, predictably, caused the teacher to wig out. She/they/it/kitty exclaimed: “You are talking about the fact that cisgender is the norm, that you identify with the sexual organ you were born with. That’s basically what you’re saying, which is really despicable.” It is “despicable” to identify with the sexual organ you were born with?! That view is rigid, intolerant, hateful, unscientific…and insane.

The teacher, referring to the girl’s stubborn adherence to reality, also told the students that they “need to have a proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion because I’m not having that expressed in my lesson.” Because a “proper” education means no debate, no dialogue, and no dissent! Or else! “Sieg Heil!”

Almost anything can hurt progressives’ feelings and cause them to run for a “safe space.” Microaggressions and hate speech allegedly abound. “Misgender” somebody or “dead name” them and you are deemed to be a monster. Words are now frequently construed as “literally violence” by those on the left. Yet, the unimpeachably progressive “educator” finds it okay—necessary even—to label a young student “despicable” for her failure to believe a person who claims to be a cat…actually is one. Wow.

Fellow Westerners, one question: Just how much intolerance (disguised as tolerance), authoritarianism, amorality– and insanity –are you willing to put up with?

My fellow Americans, perhaps it is time we listened to our founding fathers……rather than obeying the Marxist/Fascist whackos who would be our masters.

The media took a brief break from its political feeding frenzies to gorge on a generally apolitical tragedy.

The story of the OceanGate sub all but took over the airwaves as the media whipped up suspense over the fate of the people on board. The people on board were however dead and had been all along.

The Navy was aware of that. So were most experts. Even Titanic director James Cameron weighed in with the obvious.

The idea, held up by the media to profit from eyeballs and clicks, that people were sitting somewhere in a stranded sub waiting to be rescued was a lie. And the media knew that it was a lie.

9 times out of 10 a mysterious disappearance is just a death that hasn’t been discovered, but it doesn’t stop the media from generating suspense and promoting a search not because it cares about the people involved, but because it cares about its bottom line. Ideally, for its purposes, the sub would never have been found and then the story could have dragged on forever. Think about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 or Madeleine McCann.

These stories tend to be detached from the lives of the viewers and so can be safely consumed as a vicarious soap opera of the “did ya know” variety.

Two decades ago media critics would have pointed that out, but the media is so far gone that it hardly seems worthwhile to decry sensationalism. The “news” can now include summaries of viral videos, including SNL routines or John Oliver and Stephen Colbert reactions. Most of it consists of editorializing or clickbait.

Still it can be helpful to look at an example of apolitical fake news to what drives its political fake news.

Sure, the media hates Trump, Republicans or anyone who doesn’t want their kids to change genders overnight, but it’s also a money machine and it’s driven by the need to generate clicks and subscriptions.

Journalism wasn’t so much corrupted by politics, as it was always corrupt and that corruption clicks neatly with its politics.

The media has always created news at least as often as it reported on it. Politics is a good disguise for the basic corruption in the system. Much like celebrities virtue signal to seem more important than they are, the media virtue signals because “exploiting pain and making up stuff for money” sounds like less of a justifiable career.

Conservatives often quote famous leftists (e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Mao) and then point out that modern Democrat policies align perfectly with those quotes. A Moms for Liberty chapter, which exists to defend children from government, learned that the left now goes after those who use those quotes inartfully. Meanwhile, California is pushing another purely leftist initiative to take children from their parents.

One of the things the Nazis did really well was to coopt children. This was not an accident. It was, instead, a deliberate plan because Hitler either knew what Lenin said or intuited it. And what Lenin said in one way or another (there are lots of versions of the quote) is, “Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the world.” Or “Give us the child for 8 years, and it will be ours forever.” Or something like that.

Lenin was right: Those first years are the formative years, for a child is both a blank slate and a sponge. The child will believe anything, and those beliefs form the baseline on which everything else develops.

So, as I said, the Nazis went after children. Starting when they were very little, they were inculcated into Nazi ideology. The Hitler Youth was the breeding ground for SS and Gestapo leaders. If you’ve ever seen the movie Cabaret, the blonde youth singing “Tomorrow Belongs To Me“ was one of Hollywood’s best depictions of how the Germans trained their young.

Today’s leftists, just like the communists and the Nazis, are targeting youth. And, of course, the best way to do that is through schools. Parents who work (both men and women) have long been grateful that we have tax-funded babysitting agencies (aka public schools) that also teach our children reading, writing, and arithmetic.

What’s become obvious of late, though, is that the schools no longer see traditional education as their mission. Instead, in schools across America, the mission is to indoctrinate students in the values that will drive leftist policies (big government, open borders, a military that works for the government, a return to a pre-industrial energy sector, etc.). Getting children to focus obsessively on their genitals and “identities” leaves them broken and, therefore, open to the messages sold with the sex.

We normals are horrified by data showing that students can no longer read and write and by the destruction of biological reality and sexual innocence. The leftists, however, don’t care because reading and writing aren’t the goal. Leftism is. To the extent Moms for Liberty stands in the way, it must be destroyed.

And that’s how an Indiana chapter of Moms for Liberty founds itself apologizing for quoting Hitler. What the chapter did in its newsletter was quote Hitler to point out that leftist encroachments on schools are imitating Hitler. The media deliberately misinterpreted that and, suddenly, Moms for Liberty, which is the opposite of fascist in all ways (it wants to shrink government power and protect youth from the government), has a swastika painted on its back.

It’s not enough, though, for the left to attack parents who want to return schools to teaching academic skills while leaving values (social, sexual, and political) to the family. The left is continuing its fascist (some might say “Hitleresque”) push to break apart families so that children’s allegiances are to a state that provides unlimited sexual focus (a psychological drug) rather than to the parents who truly love them.

California’s legislature has already passed a law saying its child abuse if a parent denies a child’s gender identity. (Gavin Newsom has not yet signed the law.) The law means that, if one parent “transes” a child, and the other objects, it’s the parent who wants to psychologically and physically mutilate the child who will get custody.

Next on the table is a proposed law allowing therapists to interview children without parental knowledge and put them into state-run housing to protect them from a parent denying their “gender identity”:

Democrats in California are pushing legislation that would reportedly enable therapists to sign off on 12-year-olds’ admission to state-run housing facilities without their families being notified, even if there is no threat of abuse or self-harm at home.

Assembly Bill 655, introduced by Assembly Member Wendy Carrillo in February and approved this week by Democrats on the state Senate Judiciary Committee, would also allow kids to receive counsel on gender identity from school psychologists, therapists, and uncredentialed trainees without parental consent.

The leftist war to gain control of America’s children is vicious and unrelenting. And if you go into battle, as the Indiana chapter of Moms for Liberty did, you’d better be ready to take on fire. America’s Democrats are playing for keeps because they understand, just as Hitler did, that “He alone who owns the youth, gains the future.” (And no, I’m not quoting Hitler approvingly. I’m making the point that the left’s tactics are pure Germany 1935.)

The German city of Greifswald overwhelmingly rejected plans to accommodate more migrants in the area in a referendum held on Sunday.

Local residents voted with a 65 percent majority against a proposal to lease land to the Vorpommern-Greifswald district “for the purpose of building container villages to accommodate refugees.”

A total of 21,000 eligible voters turned out, surpassing the minimum threshold of 25 percent of the 47,410-strong electorate, making the decision binding on local government for two years.

Despite the clear rejection of resettling more migrants in the area, Green Party mayor, Stefan Fassbinder, remained undeterred in his ambitions to welcome greater numbers of new arrivals. He insisted the vote would not affect the local government’s pro-migration agenda, but would make the decision on where to house newcomers more challenging.

“In the near future we will have to make even greater efforts to get into the debate, to enter into dialogue with the citizens, with the economy, with everyone else, so that immigration can be successful,” Fassbinder said after the vote.

Loopholes could be exploited that may result in container villages being built in other areas nearby and the local government is exploring viable locations.

This is despite the huge resistance to the plans evident among the local community. Residents congregated upon hearing the initial plans to relocate migrants to the area and organized a citizens’ initiative to prevent the construction of container villages in urban areas in general. The initiative collected more than 7,000 signatures in a fortnight, forcing the hand of local officials to hold a referendum on the matter.

Even ahead of the referendum, Fassbinder remained adamant that local officials would get their way, telling journalists, “The refugees will come. The only question is where will they be housed.”

Events in Greifswald could be viewed as a microcosm of the political landscape across Germany. Polling shows that a majority of Germans are opposed to the country taking in more migrants and a number of state governments have protested against migrant relocation schemes claiming they have saturated their public services with the latest influx of new arrivals.

Despite this, the traffic light coalition government, spearheaded by the left-wing SPD and Green parties, remains committed to a policy of mass migration, a policy that is seeing more and more voters flock to the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which now sits a historic second in the polls.

Three youths, aged 12 and 13, forced their way into the Saint-Joseph church in the port district of Nice, shouting “Allah Akbar” (“Allah is great”). The intrusion occurred during a mass early on Friday afternoon, according to first deputy mayor Anthony Borré on Twitter. Le Figaro

On Thursday (June 22), former US President Barack Obama courted controversy by virtue-signalling India about its ‘human rights’ record. He deliberately made these remarks at the time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on his tour to the USA.

Obama, who has a notorious record as a potential war criminal, suggested that the Indian Prime Minister must be told by the Biden administration about protecting the ‘Muslim minority in a majority Hindu India.’ He also hinted at another ‘partition’ of India under the Modi government.

However, Barack Obama’s bias is not just pro-Muslim, but it is essentially anti-Hindu. An audio clipping of a 2015 interview of Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist Charles Krauthammer went viral on social media in which he clearly mentioned that Obama insults India because it is a Hindu country. Charles Krauthammer made these remarks in a radio interview he gave to the radio host Hugh Hewitt in 2015.

In 2015, during his visit to India, then-US president Barack Obama commented about the so-called religious intolerance in India. He also dragged India into a discussion where he was sermonising on intolerance with Syria and Iraq. Lambasting at his speech, Charles Krauthammer said that it was a combination of the banal and the repulsive.

Charles Krauthammer said, “What the hell is he doing bringing India into this? I mean, it’s the first time I’ve heard India drawn into this discussion. Here he is essentially insulting, and it’s because it’s a Hindu country. It’s not Muslim. I mean, he’ll say in the name of Christ. He won’t say in the name of Muhammad and in the name of Allah. He won’t use those words. And then he goes after India, which is probably our strongest, most stable, most remarkable, democratic ally on the planet, considering all the languages and religions that it harbours. It has the second-largest Muslim population on Earth. And yet he goes after it as a way of saying hey, everybody here is at fault. They are not at fault.”

He added, “This is a combination of the banal and the repulsive. The banal is the adolescent who discovers that well, man is fallen, and many religions have abused their faith and used it as a weapon. This is what you discover when you’re 12, or 17, and what you discuss in the Columbia dorm room. He’s now bringing it to the world as a kind of a revelation, and he does it two days after the world is still in shock by the video of the burning alive of the Jordanian pilot as a way of saying hey, what about Joan of Arc? I mean, this is so distasteful.”

Krauthammer virtually hammered Obama for underplaying the barbarism with which the Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh was burnt alive by the terrorists of the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria. An undated video of this heinous act was released on 3rd February 2015, days before Barack Obama’s speech to which the American journalist responded. Charles Krauthammer said, “He underplayed the barbarism we saw with the immolation of the Jordanian pilot, and made everybody believe that this is really nothing out of the ordinary. The Crusades ended 800 years ago. There’s not a big inquisition going on today. Joan of Arc was not yesterday. The Jordanian pilot was two days ago.”

These remarks of the American journalist came in response to Barack Obama’s infamous National Prayer Breakfast speech in February 2015 in which he passed unnecessary comments on India. Obama said, “Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often were justified in the name of Christ.”

Obama added, “Michelle and I returned from India – an incredible, beautiful country, full of magnificent diversity – but a place where, in past years, religious faiths of all types have, on occasion, been targeted by other peoples of faith, simply due to their heritage and their beliefs — acts of intolerance that would have shocked Gandhiji, the person who helped to liberate that nation.”

With Charles Krauthammer’s old interview clipping going viral, Barack Obama’s anti-Hindu bias has been exposed once again.
