1ºMatthew Bryant the internet is an inanimate object, it cannot raise children. And teachers want to teach, their agenda is to educate children. Do some go off the rails, sure, just like in many other jobs, but they aren’t pushing an agenda. They are teaching. They teach math, science etc right along with respect and empathy.
And I’ve gone too far because of the word pronouns? If we don’t teach pronouns how in the world does one teach English appropriately?
I look at respecting pronouns the same way I do using someone’s nickname. If someone asks me to use certain pronouns or a certain name, I will respectfully do so. My personal feelings on the matter are irrelevant. It’s really as simple as that.
2ºThis is wrong. I am a gay man. I was 12 years old the first time I bottomed for man. He was nearly 40. I was ecstatic and I'm so glad it happened, but I couldn't be open about it. I ended up getting married to a woman and having kids. We were miserable. Now I am single and openly gay. I wish I could have been open about my sexuality back then. I often fantasize about that older man and wonder where he is today. Children need to be free to express their sexuality and to explore if we truly want them to be happy.
3ºJackie Paynter Because actions have consequences. Remember when all "they" wanted was gay marriage (we told you it was a bad idea) and the left passed a bunch of laws granting special rights to a group of sexual perverts? The consequence of that is we now have to deal with perverts targeting our children with impunity...and make no mistake about it, drag queen story hour is not for adults.
The consequence of targeting our children can be summed up with 2 cliche's. We gave an inch, so they tried to take a mile & give a person enough rope and they'll hang themselves... When their immoral behavior started targeting kids, they struck a much more primitive cord with the populace. One of protecting their family from real AND potential threats.
4ºKevin Gillette the mind is powerful I believe the soul takes on the beliefs. Some say I can’t believe in god if I don’t believe in the devil, and I think it’s weird. Why do I need to create a false idol to justify the wrongs in life. When the Bible depicts god as being capable of a love that is impossible to put into words. Yet they can give monumental accounts of his disdain for “disobedience” while saying we all are given free will. I just love and let live. As long as your happiness isn’t grounded in others pain, I’m all for it
