OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

Chairman Mao used the "protect the children" propoganda to enlist a child army named the Red Guard that would turn in or arrest all the parents and teachers and send them to forced labor camps in turn giving the children guns and power as long as they only believed in his little red book....set China back decades and destroyed thousands of years of writings and research in the name of facism.....yeah.....children's rights eh? That's one way to dumb down your society. Same thing happens in banana republics in Africa and Central America. The GOP really wants us to follow suit and have leaders like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump insulting the intellectuals and educators in favor of sensationalized bluster. This whole movement needs to be purged from our government now.

Interesting. You're for their "rights" but what about their health?

 

Thanks for all the enlightenments, fellas.

 

If you care that much about kids, why don't you adopt a foster kid?

 

I am not a fella.

 

My comments weren't directed towards you.

 

We would've had we been a married a little earlier in life. Doesn't stop me from spending lots of time with my great niece(9) and nephew(5) - the ones in Tennesse), as well as advocating for others.

 

It is never too late to help. You could become a foster home to them if you don't want to fully adopt.

 

We had a garage sale last weekend and the kids helped. It was a fun experience. My 9-year-old actually sold $50 of her own stuff. Watching her negotiate was pretty funny. She's such a little capitalist! LOL

 

Yet you want to remove their rights to be raised as their parents choose?

I am opposed to government overreach. Thank you very much.

 

Virtue signaler. Not willing to do things that makes change. Just wants to yell about opinions and tell others how they need to raise their children.

 

Is that a dichotomy?

 

This hogwash about teaching critical race theory, which isn't taught in grade school, and don't say gay was never about parental control or right of parents to decide what their children are exposed to.

It's about banning anything Republicans oppose.

My parents took me to Harry Belafonte, a radical Black immigrant, King Lear, violent, Hair, brief nudity. If they weren't dead ABM would want to lock them up.

Oh and they were Jews so no doubt roasting in hell.

Some use religion to feed the hungry, care for stray animals, protect wildlife.
Others use their religion to harm anyone different from themselves. Very unhappy people who want to make others, especially those who are other, unhappy.

 

Does it matter? Government should butt out unless there is evidence of significant harm.

No such evidence exists, so government should butt out. Simple as that.

 

....and children sometimes need to be protected. That's why we have child protective services. What they might need to be protected from is the social question/debate.

 

I think there are plenty of parents that think kids should be protected from religion too. Should we instill that as a law? That kids can't have religion shoved down their throats and made to feel guilty until they turn 18?
