DEPT. OF SHAMELESS JOKE-STEALING

CLIMATE CHANGE

"American progressives who believe that a more Western European model of government and politics will get them what they want should pay more attention to the news. Because the kinds of disruptive and radical Green New Deal policies they would like to try to impose on disorderly and borderline ungovernable Americans are not being met with adulation, or even cooperation, in much of Western Europe. As I wrote earlier this week, progressives are at some point going to have to deal with the fact that their climate agenda has been exposed time and again to the acid test of actual democracy and has, for the most part, failed." Kevin Williamson, NRO

GENDER IDEOLOGY

"Today, however, we don't leave these children alone. Instead, the moment children seem not to be perfectly feminine or perfectly masculine, we label them as 'trans kids.' Teachers encourage them to reintroduce themselves to their classes with new names & new pronouns. We take them to therapists or doctors, nearly all of whom practice so-called affirmative care--meaning they think it is their job to affirm the diagnosis of gender dysphoria & help the children medically transition." Abigail Shrier, Imprimis:  A publication f Hillsdale College, June/July 2021

DUMB KIDS

"The left is truly dumbing down America’s kids. It’s nothing new. But based on the insane education policy recently implemented by the state of Oregon, it looks like the future of America’s already awful public school system is getting worse.

"Last month, as the media just learned, Oregon’s Gov. Kate Brown quietly signed a bill that dropped the requirement that high schoolers had to prove they were proficient in reading, writing and math before they graduated. The bill’s supporters claim that considering math and reading as essential skills all these years has been, you guessed it, unfair to kids of color who do not test well. They claim the new bill was written “to truly reflect what every student needs to thrive in the 21st century.” Michael Reagan, Townhall
