Joe Rogan Has a Message for Teachers Who Sexualize Children

by Leave a Comment

What’s the job of an educator? Joe Rogan has an idea, and it’s not in sync with the latest teaching trends.

While conversing with comedian and political commentator Dave Smith last week, Joe addressed the current case of public education and its phenomenal focus on sex.

As with many things on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, opinions weren’t of the woke variety.

The pair pointed out that — whether it concerns homo- or heterosexuality, “sexualizing little kids” should disturb everyone. Curiously, it doesn’t. But to parents who are horrified by the encroachment of sex on public education, it’s time to fight.

“I remember when the justice department…called those angry parents terrorists,” Dave recalled (see The Origin of the Infamous NSBA ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Letter Is Revealed—and It Implicates the Biden Administration).

The two agreed that, with the stick of sexual indoctrination, government education is poking a bear.

Dave put it thusly:

“You mess with people’s kids…that’s something people will do really [messed] up [stuff] over… People can put up with a lot. But…you’re going to brainwash my kid with some ideology that I don’t believe in, that I might even hate… It’s a dangerous thing to provoke someone with.”

Joe called to impressionable ages:

“Children are very malleable. … That’s how you can get children to be religious martyrs. Like, how do you think they talk those kids into strapping themselves up with dynamite and walking into some building and blowing themselves up? … You can get a child to subscribe to all sorts of ideologies — hateful ideologies, loving ideologies. People are malleable. We imitate our environment.”

These days, federal curriculum — as well as individual teachers — are training youngsters in the way of wokeness. Joe sees it as far outside education’s purview:

“Even though you think you’re doing a good thing, you’re still not doing what you’re supposed to do. What you’re supposed to do as an educator is teach kids. Teach kids, give them information. You’re not supposed to be grooming them towards a particular ideology or lifestyle.”

“I don’t mean ‘grooming’ in a sexual sense,” he made clear. “I mean…schooling them to behave a certain way or to think a certain way or to go against their parents’ beliefs… That’s not your job. … Especially when it comes to sexual issues.”

It may not have been the purpose in America’s past, but the aim of education has clearly changed. Surely a generation of students can’t fathom how things were only twenty years ago. For all of America’s past, school was a place where youth learned to read, write, compute numbers and develop critical thinking skills. Schooling was an endeavor centered on knowledge, not perspective. That appears to have all changed. Sex, gender, social and political viewpoints look to have replaced “reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic.”

Examples:

San Francisco School District Tells Kids They May Be ‘Lesbi-Flexible’ and Prefer the Pronoun ‘It’

Nebraska Eyes Teaching Kindergarteners Gender Identity While Eleven-Year-Olds Study Pansexuality and Demigenderism

Portland Schools Five-Year-Olds on ‘People With Penises,’ Tells Kids Their Families Are ‘LGBTQIA2S+’

Arizona Department of Education Invites 10-Year-Olds to Talk With Strangers Online About Their Sexual Identities

Washington State Orders Teachers to Hide Kindergarteners’ Gender Transition From Their Parents

Back to Joe, he asserted the “LGBT” umbrella is letting people get away with things that would otherwise draw universal condemnation:

“Here’s my take: Imagine if you had little kids in your class — eight, nine, ten years old — and you started talking about male and female intercourse. Like, people would go, ‘What are you doing?’ … But there’s books that kids can get out of the library in certain school districts that they’ve put in there that show…oral sex…or someone [performing a sex act] on [an inanimate object]. … If we were talking about purely heterosexual relationships, we would all agree that is absolutely not a teacher’s job to explain to a child…”

A sexualization is upon us:

“How did anyone ever sign off on the little kids’ drag show? How did anyone imagine — again, the heterosexual version of that — imagine a bunch of strippers that are in their 30s and 40s and they’re getting young girls to strip and dance for men in the audience. … Imagine if you ever saw that. That would be a horrendous thing. Like, what are you encouraging? What are you doing to these children? Why are you taking away their innocence at such an early age? But if it’s a drag show and you have…a 10-year-old drag queen, and he goes out there and, ‘He’s fabulous, look at him — he’s amazing…’ But you’re sexualizing this young person. You’re still doing something to someone who hasn’t even gone through puberty.”

Dave noted it’s a topic that should bring Americans together. But it doesn’t:

“[H]ow the [heck] do we not at least have a consensus about this? That we’re against this? We could disagree on so many issues, but can’t we all agree with not sexualizing little kids?”

Concerning sexual instruction, Joe’s message to teachers is clear:

“[T]hat’s not your job.”

Well, it used to not be. But judging by school board measures across the country, it may now be exactly their job.

Medical Students Denounce the Scientific Method's Superiority and Promise to Defeat White Supremacy

by Leave a Comment

Medical school was once aimed at applying scientific knowledge to treat the sick and injured. But these days, we’re told society itself is sick, and it must be healed by the elixir of enlightenment. Therefore, devoted future doctors in Minnesota are pledging to wokeness and a complete righting of the world’s wrongs.

The University of Minnesota Medical School (UMMS) class of 2026 recently held its White Coat Ceremony. An article on the college’s website covers the service’s significance:

Being presented with a white coat is a rite of passage for medical students signifying their entrance into medical school. In 1993, the Arnold P. Gold Foundation established this tradition at Columbia University. U of M Medical School was one of the early adopters of this ceremony, now executed at most medical schools across the country.

The most crucial element of the ceremony is taking the Hippocratic Oath to obligate their responsibility to care for future patients with integrity, empathy and humility. It provides a robust emphasis on compassion in combination with clinical excellence.

But there’s more to it than that; each class adds its own elements like toppings to a sundae. UMMS Media Relations Manager Kat Dodge explained to Campus Reform:

“[I]t is a common practice at medical schools in the United States to build upon the intent of the Hippocratic Oath… Each year at the University of Minnesota Medical School, the incoming students work with faculty to write an oath that reflects these core elements, values, and ethics the class aspires to uphold.”

This year’s supplements at UMMS included care of the Earth, antiracism, and an indication that Western medicine isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A handout pictured at AlphaNews.org displays the contents of the 2022 ceremony’s vow, and it begins with a confession of thievery — AKA a land acknowledgment.

Why would a medical school dip its toes into something as wholly removed from medicine as a noting of the top ping pong players in Australia? Presumably, because it’s what’s in style:

Our institution is located on Dakota land. Today, many Indigenous people from throughout the state, including Dakota and Ojibwe, call the Twin cities home.

To be fair, the students “also recognize this acknowledgment is not enough.”

Somehow, doctors are going to triumphantly force into existence unprecedented justice and defeat white supremacy. They’re also going to battle the notion that there are only men and women. In fact, by some method not made known, the people who write you a prescription for your rash will manage to defeat all planetary oppression:

We commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the healthcare system. We recognize the inequities built by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression. As we enter this profession with opportunity for growth, we commit to promoting a culture of antiracism, listening, and amplifying voices for positive change.

It’s a tall order.

The students also promise to “be respectful” of all patients’ “unique identities.” Additionally, they swear to be “authentic” and own their “mistakes and biases.” You may just need to have some sort of pain stop giving you trouble, but the new breed of medical men and women and other gender identities will “empower [your] autonomy.”

And there’s no more of the nonsense that they know medicine better than you do:

We affirm that patients are the experts of their own bodies and will partner with them to facilitate holistic wellbeing.

If you’re the expert, do they still serve a medical purpose? Perhaps they should teach yoga…

We will prioritize care for the mind, body, and soul of not only our patients, but of our colleagues and selves. With this devotion, we will champion our personal wellness…

What arguably stands out most is the group’s denouncement of science. Western medicine only has value if it’s the correct approach to physical health. Via the Scientific Method, its point has been to eliminate fallacies produced by superstition, ignorance, and ineffective technology. As it turns out, per UMMS, that was a mistake. All the old and proven-wrong stuff is right:

We pledge to honor all Indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine.

They do have a point — what is incorrect is indeed marginalized by correctness.

Heroically, the students “commit to healing our planet and communities.”

I’m not sure a professional group has ever shouldered such a robust responsibility as that of the students at UMMS. Good luck to them on their mission to right the world of all wrongs while undermining their own training and also sending people for colonoscopies.

San Francisco School District Tells Kids They May Be 'Lesbi-Flexible' and Prefer the Pronoun 'It'

by Leave a Comment

If you ever wanted to live a secret life apart from your parents, you should’ve been born later and attended the San Francisco Unified School District.

City Journal has obtained October 2021 documents revealing the district’s provisions for students to live very different lives outside their homes.

The district tells elementary schoolers they may not “feel like a boy or a girl” and can identify as “non-binary” and use “they” pronouns.

For the older kids, flexibility is favored:

For secondary students, the district teaches that they can be part of the “bisexual umbrella” and identify as “fluid,” “pansexual,” “omnisexual,” “hetero-, homo-, lesbi-curious,” “hetero-, homo-, lesbi-flexible,” and “queer.”

According to the documents, K-5 students are provided a worksheet for gender transitions. It directs the children to choose their names and pronouns. And it makes clear such information can be kept from parents.

A few of the questions:

  • What is your official name?
  • What name would you like me to call you in class?
  • What name would you like me to use with your grown-ups?
  • Would you like me to call you a boy, a girl, or something else?

But what if a child is neither a “he,” a “she,” or a “they”? As relayed by City Journal, the kid may just be an “it”:

The district…released a guide on students who use “it” pronouns, explaining to teachers that “we are increasingly seeing students using the pronoun ‘it’” at school.

Per the school, trans people have long been around; and they’ve historically been insulted with “it.”

Now it’s time for comeuppance:

The guidebook explains that using “it” as a pronoun “has a long history being used as a slur to dehumanize trans and gender non-conforming folks” but functions as a gender-identity version of the “n-word,” which was “reclaimed” by African-Americans. The guidebook recommends that teachers discuss “it” pronoun usage with their students but ultimately recommends that teachers “affirm their right to use whatever pronoun feels right to them.”

Starting in sixth grade — via supportive “Q Groups” — schools may “connect students to mental health professionals and clinics that offer gender-affirming health services.”

It’s remarkable how far American schooling has come from the cemented thing it remained for centuries. Until just recently, there was no implementation of sexual identity in public education. Now such appears to be primary part. Academia and culture have shifted so much that a school fully founded on LGBT identity was recently launched — in Birmingham, Alabama.

Other examples:

Portland Schools Five-Year-Olds on ‘People With Penises,’ Tells Kids Their Families Are ‘LGBTQIA2S+’

Nebraska Eyes Teaching Kindergarteners Gender Identity While Eleven-Year-Olds Study Pansexuality and Demigenderism

Oregon Elementary School Hosts ‘Queer and Sexuality Alliance’ Club for Nine-Year-Olds

Arizona Department of Education Invites 10-Year-Olds to Talk With Strangers Online About Their Sexual Identities

High School Biology Class Tells Kids Biological Sex Is a Social Construct

California Public Ed Teacher Training Includes Pansexuality and a Semen Exercise

Not long ago, young children simply studied reading, writing, and arithmetic. And at recess, they might play tag. These days, the game wouldn’t mean the same: “Tag — you’re ‘IT.’”

Why Woke Shows Like 'She-Hulk' and 'Rings of Power' Fail

by Leave a Comment

At this point, the “get woke go broke” rule is basic knowledge, yet studios like Amazon and Disney can’t get the picture. Bad reviews and lack of interest are plaguing shows like “Rings of Power” and “She-Hulk.” It doesn’t help that they’re being super cagey with the rating stats.

In this video, I explain why people are turning away, and why it’s more than just a political thing.

Woke Parent Triggered After Teen Climate Change Activist Embarrassed During Live Interview

by Leave a Comment

Climate change cultists and their supporters are some of the most hypocritical people you will ever come across, not to mention rank at about 20 on a scale of one to ten when it comes to sanctimonious righteousness.

But every once in a while, some of them end up getting their just deserts, and that is exactly what some are saying happened to Wellington, Australia teen climate change activist Izzy Cook, who went on a New Zealand radio program Friday to talk about her and her fellow students’ participation in the annual School Strike for Climate worldwide “protest” that took place last week.

But during the course of the interview, host Heather du Plessis-Allan questioned Cook on her activism and asked her if people should have to get permission to fly and if she (du Plessis-Allan) should be allowed to go to Fiji. It went downhill for Cook from there. Here’s how the back and forth went down (transcribed from the video):

HDPA: “So we would have to apply to have, like, approved events to be able to fly for?”

IC: “Well, that’s one thing that you could look at doing.”

HDPA: “Am I allowed to go to Fiji? Is that necessary?”

IC: “In the current climate crisis, I don’t think that that’s necessary travel.”

HDPA: “When was the last time you were on a plane?”

IC: [Pause] “Um, I’m not sure. Maybe a few months ago, to be honest.”

HDPA: “Where’d you go?”

IC: [Long pause] “Fiji.”

HDPA: [Laughter ensues] “Izzy! Izzy! Don’t you care about the climate, Izzy?”

IC: “Of course, I care about the climate.”

HDPA: “Not enough. You went to Fiji! Izzy, come on, mate! Are you serious?” [Laughter]

IC: [Pauses] “It’s pretty ironic. It is pretty ironic, but to be honest, it’s not really a trip that I wanted to go on, but I can’t really get out of it.”

When Cook was pressed on why she went, she essentially told du Plessis-Allan that her parents made her go. The host then mockingly asked her if she was embarrassed that her parents did damage to the planet with their plane trip and “forced” her along for the ride. When Cook said “of course” she wasn’t embarrassed, she was asked if she had a “terrible time.” She said in response, “not really.”

Listen to the exchange below:

Not surprisingly, leftist Karens who hate it when their side is held to their own standards have started doing their thing:

Cook’s mother Rose Cook was so outraged by the so-called “bullying” treatment she says her daughter received on the program that she took to the Internet to condemn what happened, and in the process inadvertently informed the world that she was the, ahem, guiding force behind her daughter’s school-skipping activism (language warning):

On Friday evening, I listened in horror as my 16 year old daughter had a phone conversation with someone who appeared to be bullying her, laughing at her, and talking over her. As soon as she got off the call I demanded to know who the hell was speaking to my child in this way.

[…]

Commentators like du Plessis-Allan don’t give a shit about climate change. They don’t care that Arctic ice is melting at four times the expected rate, or that we are seeing more and more extreme weather events killing and displacing people across the globe. No, as du Plessis-Allan is fond of reminding us, it’s the economy that matters, not our planet. These sorts of commentators use ad hominem arguments and “gotcha” moments for point-scoring and discrediting their opponents. We saw it when Mike Hosking opined that Greta Thunberg is “the world’s most annoying kid” and when Duncan Garner said she was “too dramatic” to take seriously. It’s a common tactic used to deflect from the climate crisis, instead of focusing on the actions that we need to take in a rational, reflective manner. They seem particularly keen to go after our youth, whose future is most at stake.

“They seem particularly keen to go after our youth, whose future is most at stake.” This line in particular stuck out at me as the particularly telling part of Rose Cook’s diatribe. Like others on the far left, she expects teenage activists including her daughter to be able to go out and “be independent” and express their opinions, and in some cases be turned into international icons as Thunberg has, but don’t you dare question them because if you do then you’re a bully or something for “picking on a child” or whatever.

We saw this same warped mentality after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting tragedy in 2018. Some of the teens from the school immediately went the activist route with the help of anti-gun organizations that were on standby, and yet when those same students were questioned on their statements, pro-Second Amendment conservatives were blasted as insensitive, hateful bullies who didn’t care how many children were murdered as long as they could keep their guns. An entire segment on CNN, which aired one week after the mass shooting, was devoted to perpetuating that very stereotype.

Sorry, but if you’re out there advocating for any type of “change,” especially the kind that has the potential to nuke basic Constitutional rights and/or upend entire countries, you’re going to be subjected to scrutiny whether you’re a teen sensation or a veteran of the protest circuit. It’s just that simple. You don’t get a pass because you’re a teenager.

That said, the better thing to do in these instances is for the adults to do the arguing and debating rather than to send a teenager to do their bidding for them. But then again, the whole point for these people in sending out teen activists is to shut down any and all criticism of their actions, right?

As to the “saga” of Izzy Cook, this take seemed most on-point of the ones I read:

‘Nuff said.
