Don't Ask Don't Tell 2, Electric Boogaloo?
Nah. Punching Nazis time.
How about the pedophile class stops discussing children?
And deciding what everybody else should be doing with their genitals, especially children's genitals.
Stop thinking about them, you MAGA PedoCon Pervoids.
"You certainly seem to spend a lot of time thinking about children's genitals," is my go-to to get them to shut up.
“Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" .... Maybe the GOP should stop being pedos instead.
Maybe the GOP should stop being instead.
Maybe we should be dragging these fascist fucks out of their homes and stringing them up by their heels and beating them until candy falls out.
No more transitive verbs or translated texts. No more transportation networks or radio transmitters. Don't even talk to me about the crossbeam between the door and the window above it. And if you mention transfer students you're getting suspended!
On the bright side we no longer have to worry about trans-fats. Yay!
Also that whole section on the Transcontinental Railroad? throw that out.
No talking about the transmission in shop class, or Transylvania in literature, and you're pushing it, astronomy class, if you mention Mare Tranquillitatis.
Transamericans also are a thing.
Man, they are really obsessed with trans life
As a leftist, you know how often I think about Trans folks? Not much.
I do quite often because their lives are constantly being threatened by these hateful bigots.
I am fucking sick of the entirety of these "people" having their wntire concept of being trans come from porn and therefore be entirely sexual in nature. I honestly don't want to live on this planet (or this country, or at all) anymore.
For sure. Living just to spite the hateful fuckers over here.
Yeah. I had to make an autocorrect edit. They get these ideas from porn.
Cut their tongues off.
Cut other parts off, since they're probably using them to diddle kids anyway
cut their heads off
Sorry kid, your Optimus Prime backpack is banned. Automotive class is also canceled because we can’t discuss changing gears. History class will not be discussing what was completed at on May 10, 1869 at Promontory Summit, Utah. Those of you who have completed driver’s ed can pick up your licenses at the Department of Portation.
I fucking hate these people.
Dracula now takes place in Sylvania

Don't forget Franz Liszt and his famous piano piece, Endental Etude
My people are once again a political scapegoat.
This is why they're so obsessed with censoring "porn" because anything they don't like is "porn"
That's the weirdest part, they rage against it, they move to ban it, and then their search history shows up and attests to constant gooning to it.
It's always projection.
Or "woke". And strays so far from the definition that no one has any idea what they're talking about.
1984 would be offended at rhis level of control and censorship.
I look forward to seeing the new Ministry of Portation.
Yet another page right out of Hitler's playbook.
great, the next iteration of ‘pray the gay away’ —USA, USA!!! /s
How did the "Don't say gay" plan work out for you in the past?
The best way to "stop the sexualization of children" is to eliminate the Epstein class.
Not pressing to you maybe, but state sanctioned descrimination like this is dehumanizing and dangerous. Shit like this rips apart families and gets kids killed.
It would be nice to live in a world where I don’t have to worry so much about bills, but that doesn’t mean shit to me if it comes at the cost of the erasure of anyone. Trans, queer, black, Latino, I don’t give a fuck.
What good is healthcare if it’s a felony to tell your doctor what's wrong with you? What good is affordable housing if no one will rent to you?
Liberation for all or none.
Less than 1% of the population.
Wait, are you saying trans people are less than 1% of the population, or that less than 1% of the population get housing, groceries, & healthcare?
I think you know the answer to that
What percent of the population do you think trans people make up?
apparently the average polled american thinks it's 20%
The US is in the middle of a trans genocide, but sure go on and tell me about how that isn't pressing because it doesn't affect you specifically
The way I read jimothy's comment is that Republican politicians are using trans people as a distraction from issues they don't want to address. Conservatives are making problems by claiming trans people are bad in order to deflect attention away from problems their constiuents actually care about.
Conservative voters, if presented with the choice of healthcare or trans athletes, would absolutely prefer their politicians to focus on healthcare. A farmer in Iowa does not actually give a fuck what bathroom a trans person uses, their attention has just been redirected in that direction by grifters.
The confusion is understandable, as it's worded poorly.
This is exactly it. They have to keep focusing on more narrower minorities. Can't do it to women, blacks, or even gay people anymore. They NEED a minority scapegoat to blame all their problems on. There's like 8 trans athletes in college in the U.S. right now and they passed a bill to ban them from competing. Meanwhile there's a housing crisis, fuel crisis, climate crisis, etc etc.
I'm not saying the problems trans people face aren't real or anything like that. Just that there seem to be more pressing issues that are affecting a greater number of people.
Yeah you definitely misinterpreted his comment
So you don't think things would be better if the GOP just ignored trans people and let them be and instead focused on fixing the economy? Because I think it would be great if right-wing politicians stopped focusing on people's sex, gender, and sexuality.
I also wonder if they have an ition plan for switching over to the new terminology.
These people are morons
‘Don’t say treason’
Followed tightly by the "don't say Epstein" bill.
From now on all instances of "Epstein" will be replaced with "just some guy, not important really" in all government documents.
Release the just some guy, not important list!
Isn't that against the 10th amendment? Or am I misunderstanding?
Surely this will fix the affordability crisis.
There's a big difference between "this isn't part of the curriculum" and "using someone's preferred pronouns gets you fired/expelled". Florida has shown us that it's the second one they're putting in place.
Because it exists in the real world real people end up in after they leave school. If they aren’t learning about the world school is a waste of taxpayer money.
Take my money. Teach the kids. So I don’t end up surrounded by even dumber people.
What happens when a kid talks about their trans parent? What about trans kids?
You don't think everyone's just born cis then DECIDES to become trans later on do you?
They aren't.
Other people are saying they should.
They really should because it's a part of life that exists, but they aren't. In fact, they're criminalizing being or mentioning transgenderism
Interesting reasoning. Wouldn't this make it so that anything is acceptable?
Allowing people to exist is quite a bit different than a curriculum. There is no “trans 101” lesson, this is about censoring people’s identities. This is about punishment, not education.
You’re being obtuse, and we’re all aware of that. We know exactly where you stand. Just say you hate people that are different from you and want them to not exist or be hurt because of it, we know that’s the only point you’re trying to make.
You didn't address the question and you're incorrect about your assumptions.
It would not, as basic logic is allowed to come into play rather just assuming that allowing trans people to exist extends to whatever the fuck you’re implying will come of it.
Just say it.
"Many people are saying..."
Bro, get this Trumpian rhetoric outta here.
Because it helps trans kids greatly to know that what they're feeling is okay, that they aren't alone in this and that there are solutions available.
Of course, a topic like this needs to be introduced very carefully. Though this entire discussion is pointless at the moment, because American education system is worthless and serves no real purpose, so it'd never get done right anyway.
It's not that should be learning about it, but they should learn that it exists, and they should be learning tolerance and acceptance for ALL people.
"Logic" like yours is why we need freedom of speech.
We can't have people like you deciding what others get to see, say, or think
Since teachers are paid for with our tax dollars, laws are required to ensure they do the job properly.
Okay, i was just testing whether you had consistent opinions or if you were just a troll. Troll it is
