What is the nexus here?

Pushing queer and gender theory in schools does not help anyone at home

There is a massive disconnect taking place within this “parental rights” discussion. That topic is almost entirely focused on the context of schools. Should parents have control over what is being taught in our public-schools, or is this the purview of the state? The spark for this discourse today was this disgusting article from a writer who, of course, is riddled with daddy issues and childless (she calls her cats “the kids”):

Schools are the topic here, almost in whole. And yet, so frequently when I talk to people on the center-left about this issue they lob fact-patterns back at me about gay kids who were treated poorly by their parents for coming out. One who was kicked out of their home and not even allowed to get their clothes. A whole bunch of gay kids at shelters because they were thrown out by their parents. Obviously, these are sad situations and broken home environments. But what exactly is the connection between these fact-patterns and the debate at hand? I’m simply not seeing a nexus here, at all. Rather, what it strikes me as is the same coercive ramrodding as always: leverage emotion to weaponize empathy and force unpopular agenda. Let me explain what I mean…

The debate is whether teachers should be pushing leftist doctrines like gender theory in our schools. Whether elementary schoolchildren should have to celebrate LGBTQIA2S+ and lay claim to sex categories. No, that’s not hyperbolic, that’s what “Pride” has become. And like DEI, it’s damn near become the mandated state religion of America. This isn’t about tolerance or acceptance at all. That ship sailed long ago! What this is now is forced championing, and at that age group, the practical impact is seeding. It’s overt indoctrination. And no, it’s not “Twitter stuff” or overblown “culture war stuff”. We have the upper-brass of our government pushing for this to be advanced across education and even our medical and counseling industries. This here was from a follower of mine, their child had to draw this in 4th grade. All of the students did.

Why are young children (other people’s children!) being required to draw the leftist cultural takeover flag while they’re at school? Why are other people’s 10 year olds being asked to proclaim whether they are sexually aroused by penises or vaginas (heterosexual or gay), both penises and vaginas (bisexual), neither of them (asexual), or will even get off sexually on transgender people (pansexual)? Why are children being told they can select whether they are a girl or a boy, or choose neither and be a “Zir” or a “They/Them”? I don’t want ANY of that shit pushed on my child while she’s at school! My daughter is 10, and I don’t even talk about this stuff with her myself. She hasn’t expressed sexuality, and that’s good. That’s MY domain, not the state’s. And yet, these conversations (this indoctrination) is happening across our school system right now. In my opinion, it is simply indefensible. I won’t get into the reasons why (religion casting, Identity Marxism, driving a wedge between parents and children to create activists, etc) because I’ve done that many times. Let’s return to my primary question…

The “parental rights” debate is not whether gay kids should be kicked out of homes. It’s not whether it’s bad or good for gay kids to be at shelters. That’s just detached emotional drivel in the context at hand. How would pushing gender theory in elementary school have helped the kid who got tossed from home without clothes? How does seeding LGBTQIA2S+ in schools help those kids at the shelter? It doesn’t. I see absolutely no connection between the two at all. Yet those sensational fact-patterns come back at damn near a rate of 1.000. Why? That should be obvious by now: to muddle the conversation and drive the discourse to a morality binary. I don’t have to desire 10 year olds drawing queer flags at school in order to be against gay kids being thrown out of homes. What the hell are we even talking about here?!? Case in point, watch this clip and listen to the story this mother tells:

At her daughter’s school, they were pushing LGBTQ+ at the elementary level. So much so, that this mother complained to the school numerous times. By middle-school, her daughter told her (unannounced) that “every girl is bisexual”. Obviously, these two are directly related. You have to be piss-drunk on tribalism to not identify THAT nexus. How does seeding these identity ideologies into children help those kids from broken homes in any way? How is seeding gender dysphoria or pushing LGBTQ+ Pride stuff in schools going to change those parents or those homes? It’s not, obviously. Are the schools going to invite the children to live in the cafeteria? There is no nexus between these two whatsoever. In fact, the primary result of this will be to further drive wedges between kids and their parents. It’s hard not to see that as the primary objective here.

All this is, is yet another means of blurring reality with emotion and driving a controversial topic towards a morality binary so that there can’t be a controversy at all. It’s empty. It’s so damn frustrating that we can’t have honest discussions with this sect anymore. Everything has to be laced with “The Moral vs. The Monsters”. And this is a great example of that exact corrosive dynamic.
