Will Maga just watch the sinking ship or admit they were wrong?

Probably this is a factor. Also. And MAGA won’t like it, but the endocrine disruptors that are in our water, food supply, etc. are being identified as a contributing/causal factor.

There was no trans push. That was MAGA fear mongering. Wanted respect and rights for LGBTQ, yes. Pushing trans, no. Fox News Dumbass.

Dp and I agree with you mostly.

But as an example, in Montgomery county they allowed teachers to pick books with lgbtq themes to be taught to kids. For example, to be read aloud to the class at story time in kg or prek. The county previously allowed an opt out for parents to opt their child out. When they removed the opt out, parents protested and sued.

The protests were on Fox News every night. This case is going to the Supreme Court and you can bet it will be on every fox news show for days when it does.

This case was not about wanting rights for lgbtq rights because nobody was trying to get Moco to stop these lessons. The protests were about the removal of the opt out for parents who did not want their kids to be taught this and the lawsuit was brought about by parents of lower elementary students.

Fox News will frame it as look, when dems are in control they try to indoctrinate your 5 year in the public schools.

mcps should not have removed the opt out.

The fact that public schools are talking to 4 and 5 year olds about sexual preferences is a relatively new development in America, and one that certainly would have troubled our parents and grandparents.

Republicans would prefer no sex talk at all with kids that age, and would even more strongly prefer no sex talk with kids that age from non-family member adults.

LGBTQIA+ activists think it’s necessary to get to kids early, to normalize alternative sexualities so the kids don’t grow up to become homophobic. Which makes sense to prevent hate. And parallels sharing multicultural content with young kids.

But it’s complicated because LGBTQIA+ identities have to do with sexual preferences, e.g. “who you are attracted to” and “who you love.” So even careful framing gets dangerously close to inappropriate themes.

And even the most careful framing to keep sexual preference out of it effectively treats bisexuality as the norm. “Boys can love and marry boys or girls.” It’s true that they can, but it isn’t true that every straight kid should think of marriage to either sex as a good path for themselves.

Anyway, Republicans are bigots, but it’s true that nothing has changed in schools in the past 15 years

Republicans are so upset by the LBGT fake "threat" that they will continue to vote against their self interest and the future of their kids.

There are now more measles cases than trans athletes.

It’s a mistake to blame MAGA for this. Dems have spent more time in power than out of it. And Dems environmental focus has been on non-toxic carbon dioxide, not on toxic endocrine disrupters.

No because dems didn’t run on trans issues. The only one bringing up trans people was MAGAs.

Congrats on falling for propaganda!

Just stop. MAGA will never give you the satisfaction of admitting they were wrong. Focus on more productive ways to fix this situation.

Democrats are so sure of themselves, in spite of governing in silly and ineffective ways. The idea that Democratic policies are good for the white working and middle classes is NOT correct. It’s not supported by logic, by results, or by the voting patterns of those groups. It’s just something we say. Our attitude is: we hate you, we’re smarter than you, and you’re crazy for not wanting us in charge of you.

Also, most parents of girls in sports know that a measles cases are not a problem for their daughters, but trans athletes are.

It doesn’t matter what you “run on,” it matters what you do. LGBTQIA+ content in elementary schools is pretty new, pretty pervasive, and to many parents, pretty inappropriate. And 95% of the people involved are Democrats.

Public Schools aren't talking to 4 and 5 year olds about sexual preferences. Turn off the cable news.

Anecdotally based on my own parents, lot of elderly MAGA are upset and feel tricked.

Why did Democrats go ballistic about what they termed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida requiring teachers to hold off on sexual preference talk until 3rd grade?
