Cross Dressing For Kindergartners

Blazing Cat Fur...Note that this was sent me by a concerned reader. The following is taken from page 22 of an elementary grades curriculum guide written for the Toronto District School Board by one Lee Hicks, a "Trans Activist", and God Have Mercy, an elementary school teacher in the TDSB system.

The Guide is entitled Both/and.. This section makes it plain that students are to be encouraged to become cross dressers. As you read the entire document you will realize that this is not a curriculum guide but rather a radical political agenda. My hope is that Lee Hicks is immediately transferred to Valley Park Middle School where he and his GSA can compete for space with the Mosqueteria.

"If we as educators continue to focus children as “girls and boys” ... it doesn’t actually matter how progressive our ideas are... because our practice and the language with which we impart it will remain entrenched in the belief that there are only two genders." (page 18, entitled "early learner - kindergarten program")

From Page 22 of the TDSB's Cross Dressing Guide For Elementary School Students.

4. Once the demonstration self-portrait of myself is done, I ask the class members to all take a minute, close their eyes, and think carefully about the outfit that they either have or wish they had to best describe their true self… We will save the sharing of these ideas for the next day, just before watching the both/and video and commencing the self-portrait creating.

5. Directly after the idea of “what do you most want to draw yourself wearing” has been suggested into the students’ brains, I read them 10 000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert. This book is about a kid named Bailey who happens to be born in a body that people read as “boy”. She dreams of all of the dresses that she would wear if she could make what she saw in her head…. and if her family would realize that actually –she is a girl on the inside.

Following this reading, there are lots of different directions that the discussion may go, all of which can provide a helpful segway into watching both/and.

For example;- which of the dresses that Bailey imagines in the story would YOU most like to wear, and why? (definitely NOT a discussion that is just for female-bodied kids…it should be clear to male-bodied people in the class that it is perfectly fine and good and encouraged for them to have an opinion about this as well).

- how do you think that the different people in this book are feeling?... why do you think that they have these feelings? i.e. why do you think that Bailey’s brother is being so mean to her?

- how do you think the story would be different if Bailey really WAS a boy on the inside

Are You Listening?..Stoopid Americans!

Here we see true genius on display on Capital Hill. The first two examples come from the elite GOP strategists as they tell us dumbed down Americans what we are allowed to hear and believe.

Romney upset that economy improving, tells governors to stop talking about it!

Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign asked Florida Governor Rick Scott to tone down his statements heralding improvements in the state’s economy because they clash with the presumptive Republican nominee’s message that the nation is suffering under President Barack Obama, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Scott, a Republican, was asked to say that the state’s jobless rate could improve faster under a Romney presidency, according to the people, who asked not to be named.

What’s unfolding in Florida highlights a dilemma for the Romney campaign: how to allow Republican governors to take credit for economic improvements in their states while faulting Obama’s stewardship of the national economy.
Republican governors in Ohio, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin also have highlighted improving economies...America Blog

On a similar note...

After we all spent another anxious morning waiting for a possible ruling on ObamaCare from the Supreme Court, only to be put off again until next week, Speaker Boehner sent out a memo to his fellow House Republicans insisting that there are to be no political shenanigans in the event of an ObamaCare-smackdown.

“There will be no spiking of the ball,” he wrote in a memo to the conference.
“Republicans are focused on the economy … We will not celebrate at a time when millions of our fellow Americans remain out of work.” …

He repeated that the House will vote to repeal any part of the law, which he referred to as “ObamaCare,” left standing by the Supreme Court, and that any attempt to enact new reforms will be “step-by-step.”

“Republicans will not repeat the Democrats’ mistakes,” he wrote. “We won’t rush to pass a massive bill the American people don’t support.” …

“No one knows what the Court will decide, and none of us would presume to know,” Boehner wrote...Hot Air

Now, as we begin to "drain the swamp" and dump some of the Congressional deadwood...we see what a few of these revered pundits really think of their dear constituents.

Bloomberg Businessweek is out today with "A Congressional Exit Interview", in which retiring Senators Olympia Snowe and Kent Conrad join outbound Congressmen Gary Ackerman and Geoff Davis to reflect on the state of affairs on Capitol Hill. The whole thing is pretty nauseating, suffused as it is with the kind of hand-wringing that passes for political courage amongst longtime legislators (it turns out political parties tend to be partisan!). But it is Congressman Ackerman (a New York Democrat) who, when asked about comity on Capitol Hill, gets the money quote:

"Society has changed. The public is to blame as well. I think the people have gotten dumber. I don’t know that I would’ve said that out loud pre-my announcement that I was going to be leaving. [Laughter] But I think that’s true. I mean everything has changed. The media has changed. We now give broadcast licenses to philosophies instead of people. People get confused and think there is no difference between news and entertainment."

So there you have it: a man lamenting the lack of cooperation in American politics by denigrating the intelligence of those who disagree with him.

What's remarkable here is that Ackerman is saying out loud what many of the "the system is broken" thumbsuckers really believe: that their benighted constituents are unworthy of the service of our congressional philosopher-kings.

And yet what's the latest fetish for this group? Compulsory voting. In fact, if you're willing to go to the lengths of Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein, it's compulsory voting with a cash lottery. Who knew that we could strengthen the nation's sense of civic responsibility just by treating elections like one of those fake giveaway police stings?

Perhaps Ackerman is right that the problem is the intelligence of the American voter. Since he's obviously enjoying his newfound freedom from political pressure, I'll look forward to him filing a bill to hem in the franchise prior to his retirement.

DUH...Wat him say MO???

Obama Tells It...As HE Sees It

It's becoming increasingly clear that President Obama is not burdened with too heavy a commitment to honesty.

Obama's truthiness
Jonah Goldberg
 

This is hardly a shock about any politician, but revelations of dishonesty hurt some more than others. Announce that Bill Clinton has been speaking falsely, and it hits the ears with as much force as the news that birds fly, fish swim and dogs lick their own nether regions.

HAAA>>>HAAAA!!!

But Obama was supposed to be different. He was a "lightworker," an ocean tamer and cynicism slayer. In short, he was supposed to be too good to be true -- and it turns out he was.

That's one obvious conclusion to be drawn from the all-too-delayed vetting of the president's biography, most notably in David Maraniss' aptly titled new book, "Barack Obama: The Story," but also at news outlets such as National Review Online and Big Journalism.

Obama claims his maternal grandfather fought in Patton's army and liberated Nazi death camps. He says his paternal grandfather was tortured by the British imperialists in Kenya. He's claimed his Indonesian stepgrandfather was killed by the Dutch while fighting for independence. None of that is true.

Unions Take It On The Chin Again

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that unions must give nonmembers an immediate chance to object to unexpected fee increases or special assessments that all workers are required to pay in closed-shop situations.

The court ruled for Dianne Knox and other nonmembers of the Service Employees International Union's Local 1000, who wanted to object and opt out of a $12 million special assessment the union required from its California public sector members for political campaigning.

Knox and others said the union did not give them a legally required notice that the increase was coming.

Here’s the case:

Issue: (1) May a state, consistent with the First and Fourteenth Amendments, condition employment on the payment of a special union assessment intended solely for political and ideological expenditures without first providing a notice that includes information about that assessment and provides an opportunity to object to its exaction?

(2) May a state, consistent with the First and Fourteenth Amendments, condition continued public employment on the payment of union agency fees for purposes of financing political expenditures for ballot measures?

Plain English Issue: Whether a state can require its employees to pay a special union fee that will be spent for political purposes without first giving the employees information about the fee and a chance to object to it.

Read the full ruling here, even Ginsburg ruled against it.

“the First Amendment does not permit a union to extract a loan from unwilling nonmembers”

 From ZIP

The union, and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said the annual notice that the union gives was sufficient. The high court disagreed in a 7-2 judgment written by Justice Samuel Alito.

"When a public-sector union imposes a special assessment or dues increase, the union must provide a fresh ... notice and may not exact any funds from nonmembers without their affirmative consent," Alito said.

To The Internet Gulag With You!

According to CNN:

         Western governments, including the United States, appear to be stepping up efforts to     censor Internet search results and YouTube videos, according to a "transparency report" released by Google.

In the last half of 2011, U.S. agencies asked Google to remove 6,192 individual pieces of content from its search results, blog posts or archives of online videos, according to the report. That’s up 718% compared with the 757 such items that U.S. agencies asked Google to remove in the six months prior.

Overall, Google received 187 requests from United States law enforcement agencies and courts to remove content from its Web properties from July to December, up 103% from the 92 requests the Mountain View, California, company received in the previous reporting period.

In one incident cited in the report, a U.S. law enforcement agency asked Google to take down a blog that “allegedly defamed a law enforcement official in a personal capacity.” The company did not comply with that request.

In another, a separate law enforcement group asked Google to take down 1,400 YouTube videos (Google owns YouTube) because of “alleged harassment.”

Eeek! That may make you think twice before waltzing around the internet.

How long will it be until it will become "verboten" to expose the Dear Leader's lies?

Big Journalism

The media loves to come up with catchphrases that boil down who they are and how things operate in the world of politics. Phrases such as, "It's the cover up, not the crime," or, "It's the lie that gets you." Both of these statements have always proven true, at least for every Republican under the sun, but most certainly not for Barack Obama.

According to Obama's chief Palace Guard, Ben Smith, biographer David Maraniss has uncovered at least 38 lies in Obama's biographical accounts of himself. Moreover, since New Media started vetting Obama this year, two other epic whoppers told by the President have been discovered: Bill Ayers was not

"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who is a professor of English … He is not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis."

Ahem.

Ahem.

We've also learned that Barack Obama was a MEMBER of the New Party, which completely contradicts what his campaign told the media in 2008.

Pro-Life School Bus FIRE BOMBED in Rockford, IL

Posted on June 16, 2012 by frank

Rockford, IL – (ProLifeCorner.com) – 6-15-2012 – by Rockford Pro-Life Initiative –

A large school bus, owned by Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy, that is well known throughout Rockford for its beautiful pro-life pictures and words asking people to “pray to end abortion”, was fire bombed on Friday night. The damage was extensive to the bus as windows were broken in on both sides and fire bombs were thrown inside to cause maximum damage.

It has been speculated that this bombing of a pro-life Christian school bus is in retaliation for the closing of the Rockford abortion mill that is located not far from where the school bus was attacked.

It’s interesting that abortion supporters in Rockford not only kill children in the womb but may well have destroyed a school bus used by children as an act of revenge for the closing of their child killing center...More at Pro-Life Corner

President Obama Plays Golf for the 100th Time

Happy: The president played his 100th game of golf this weekend in Chicago

President Barack Obama hit a major milestone as he marked his 100th time on the links during a Father’s Day weekend getaway in his hometown of Chicago.
Despite the fact that the 50-year-old Obama had never golfed before taking office in 2009, his love of the game is well known, and often subjected to criticism by conservative pundits and political opponents.
In April, presumptive republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who is not a golfer, told a conservative radio host that Obama’s love for the game displayed a poor work ethic, ABC News reported...Kenya Central

"Obviating" The Climate Change Scam

You may link to this deceptive and self aggrandizing account of Lisa Jackson's tenure at the Obama EPA if you wish. However, I must warn you that some of the language may be WAY ABOVE your conservative intellect and your pay grade.
This snippet is at the end of her interview...and clearly this is what the Obama regime thinks of most Americans; at least those without an Ivy League indoctrination...

The Guardian

Q. If you were writing a headline for your work on the climate issue at EPA, up to now, or for whenever your work is done at EPA, what would you want it to be?

A. "In accordance with the law, we moved forward with sensible, cost effective steps at the federal level on climate, using the Clean Air Act." And I would have a second sentence — see, I can't write headlines! But it would be something like, "The progress at state and local levels, combined with the federal level, does not obviate the need" — you can't use obviate, it's above fifth-grade level! — "does not obviate the need for federal legislation to address this incredibly important challenge for this and future generations."

I hope you will bear with me today, as there is much afoot on the Green Front. After all Obuma has made it clear that climate change will be the most important issue of his election campaign.

Now on to the latest GREEN NEWS...

Bank of America / Obamabank commits 50 Billion Dollars to fight climate change... 

Throwing good money after bad?

Call it the greening of Wall Street...National Review

In the wake of a $30 billion commitment to new environmental investments by Wells Fargo in April and a $40 billion promise from Goldman Sachs this month, Bank of America will announce a 10-year, $50 billion initiative of its own on Monday.

Facing bad publicity on practically every front, the big banks are highlighting what has quietly become a hot growth area in recent years — backing projects and companies in sectors like renewable energy, emissions reduction and reduced-carbon transportation.

Bank of America officials said the initiative encompassed steps including underwriting initial public offerings for so-called green companies, making loans to consumers who buy hybrid vehicles and helping developers to retrofit old factories as well as investing in renewable energy.

I’m all for a private-sector company investing or lending its capital as they see fit. If they want to lose Warren Buffett’s money, that’s fine by me.

Most recently, American Electric Power withdrew its application for a $1 billion retrofit of its Big Sandy plant in Kentucky; it now plans to shutter five of its 21 coal-fired facilities.

Nationwide, some 100 of 500 coal-burning plants are slated for the slag heap.

Many closings will come in Ohio, where Akron-based FirstEnergy was first out of the box in announcing several planned shutdowns. It spent five years and $1.8 billion installing scrubbers on its largest plant located on the Ohio River; costly upgrades to the smaller units simply didn’t make sense.

The lost capacity will be replaced mainly by cheaper natural-gas plants, but the shift will require costly improvements to transmission facilities, expected to run more than a billion dollars in Ohio alone. Projected electric-rate hikesalarmed Ohio small businesses, which protested to the state’s Public Utility Commission.

Those concerns seem justified, based on the results of a recent auction conducted by regional-grid manager PJM, which annually contracts for excess capacity three years out. Thanks to the plant closings, the auction prices in northern Ohio soared to $357 per megawatt, versus $136 per megawatt in PJM’s total area.

These auction quotes don’t translate directly into retail prices, but they foretell the direction.

Europe's most senior court is expected to rule on Wednesday that airlines based outside the continent should have to pay for their carbon emissions on flights to or from EU member states, in a crucial test of climate change regulation.

The US (AND CHINA) have threatened to take retaliatory action against the European Union unless Brussels drops its plan imminently to start charging any airline flying into the bloc for its carbon ‘pollution’.
