Civil Rights Groups Urge Education Department to Investigate Schools ‘Targeting’ Trans Students

• In the complaint filed Monday with the ED’s Office of Civil Rights, the groups claim that a policy at the Keller ISD that bans books that discuss “gender fluidity” violates Title IX...
• “The effect of the policy, absent federal civil rights intervention, will be to stigmatize LGBTQ+ and particularly transgender, non-binary, gender diverse, and intersex students in Keller ISD, to uniquely deprive them of the opportunity to read books that reflect their identities, and to create an environment in which unlawful discrimination flourishes,” the complaint reportedly said....

IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY HUMAN SOCIETY IN HISTORY THIS WOULD BE A CONSIDERED BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS

Instapundit -"IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY HUMAN SOCIETY IN HISTORY THIS WOULD BE A CONSIDERED BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS:

Walker: Young people haven’t earned the right to change the country. Young people, by definition, haven’t seen much and don’t know much. The idea that this gives them special insight would have been regarded as ludicrous until about the time I was born.

The cult of youth was engineered by people who wanted to sell ideas that only naive and gullible folks would accept. Encouraging young people not to listen to what people with more experience told them was an isolation tool, such as are employed by cults.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds"

Mother of NYC heiress paid 'deprogrammer' big bucks after daughter 'brainwashed' by college's woke agenda | Fox News

Mother of NYC heiress paid 'deprogrammer' big bucks after daughter 'brainwashed' by college's woke agenda | Fox News: 

Her mother, Melinda Rockwell, told the Post she believed that her daughter had been brainwashed. She admitted that during one heated argument at the family’s Palm Beach, Florida, home, she threw a vase through a window in anger over what had become of her daughter. In addition to the costly "deprogrammer," she also enlisted help from her daughter’s former tennis coach, Scott Williams, but was warned it might take seven years before Annabella would revert to her old ways of thinking.

A parent's dilemma.

 

"...hostility of logic..."

 

Would the "one-worlders" allow this?

Elon Blows Apart Liberal Myth on Ferguson, Makes It Even Better With Big Vow for Twitter 

"...Elon Musk discovered “Stay Woke” t-shirts in a Twitter closet as he continues to sort out things at the headquarters....the shirts go back to the time of the shooting of Michael Brown and the protests/riots in Ferguson. 

He also linked to the report of the Obama DOJ, noting that the shooting was in self-defense.

According to Obama’s DoJ, the Ferguson shooting was unequivocally self-defense, so the Ferguson protests were – if you believe Obama’s DoJ – based on a false premise.

That’s not to say that other injustices don’t occur, but this does not appear to be one of them. @CommunityNotes

That set off people on the left even more because they had to deal with the reality that their beliefs that they may have held about that shooting for years were fiction...

The power of the climate cult!

GOP Rep. Comer: Oversight Committee Will Investigate '40 or 50 Different Things': 

Comer said, “We’re going to investigate between 40 and 50 different things. We have the capacity. We’ll have 25 members on the committee, and we’ll have a staff close to 70. So we have the ability to investigate a lot of things. Over the past two years, the Democrats haven’t investigated anything in this administration.

Portland store shuts down, posts blistering note on front door slamming rampant crime: 'City is in peril' | Fox Business

"A Portland, Oregon, clothing shop permanently shut down this month after facing a string of break-ins that has left the store financially gutted, according to a note posted to the front of the store.

"Our city is in peril," a printed note posted on Rains PDX store reads, according to KATU2. "Small businesses (and large) cannot sustain doing business, in our city’s current state. We have no protection, or recourse, against the criminal behavior that goes unpunished. Do not be fooled into thinking that insurance companies cover losses. We have sustained 15 break-ins … we have not received any financial reimbursement since the 3rd.

The store’s owner Marcy Landolfo said that after 15 break-ins over the last year and a half, the business can’t survive the financial burdens the crimes have cost the shop...

NYC Public Housing Official: Democrats Throwing Millions at Migrants, Forgetting Poor New Yorkers

NYC Public Housing Official: Democrats Throwing Millions at Migrants, Forgetting Poor New Yorkers: 

Daniel Barber, who represents New York City’s nearly 340,000 public housing tenants, says Democrat city officials are throwing millions in taxpayer money at newly arrived border crossers and illegal aliens while forgetting about poor New Yorkers.

Kathy Hochul (D) that is set to spend at least $600 million on hotel rooms, subsidized public housing, and public school needs for thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens arriving on buses every week from Texas.
