transgender agenda in our public schools

There is no transgender agenda. I'm a teacher. I'd just like them to keep their cell phones put away. And, no one cares if someone is transgender, especially not other students. It's the Karen parents that can't handle it.

Do you understand you can only be racist if you have privilege? Do you understand what DEI is?

Stop listening to ill-informed republican talking points.

It's because of the propaganda. The felon claimed kids were coming home a different gender and the gullible cultists believed it. It didn't help that outlets like NBC said he was "repeat[ing] false claims," when they should have said he was blatantly lying.

It’s wild to me that we even need to state he is lying because it’s so obviously made up. My kids go to school in a liberal N Arlington bubble and the nurse cannot even give them Motrin. But sure … kids are getting bottom surgery in between library and recess. We’re cutting all sorts of school funding but have the money for the “trans agenda.”

Also I read one of the earlier posts in my head as “that gosh darn transgender agender.”

Agree. In a Fairfax County liberal bubble. Will add that, in English class, my kids read the same classics I read in high school. I have no clue what people are going on about.

While I find Trump’s blunt, NYC-style of talk rather distasteful, and no one admires his family history of infidelity and divorce, his policies are the opposite of what you progressives have put in place over the THREE (3) terms of President Obama.

And let’s stop pretending it was demented Biden directing the country; Obama ran things from behind the curtain.

You cheered on the invasion of our country, demonized our police, and rammed through a truly weird transgender agenda in our public schools, which even my gay friends find really weird.

BTW - I do agree with you progressives in favor war in Ukraine until victory; I want to see Putin’s evil-empire 2.0 completely collapse because I have family in Europe, and I know there will never be peace or real security in Europe until the Putin / puppet Medvedev regime collapses. Putin can’t be trusted.

Well said, I too am a traditional conservative who is very happy with Trump so far. He is doing exactly what he promised. Securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, getting rid of divisive DEI policies, bringing accountability and business-like approach to government, restoring respect for the police. I found his speech on Tuesday informative, honest, funny at times, and made me proud to be an American. I can't even imagine how depressing a SOTU with Kamala babbling and cackling for an hour but saying nothing would be. DCUM runs about 90% left wing, so it leaves a misleading impression that the whole country is appalled by Trump. Fortunately, most Americans are getting what they voted for and are happy about that.

America died because a woman laughed.
RIP

A woman of color at that. How dare she.

Thanks peeps for defending me. I am newly unemployed. Must go now! It’s been fun hanging out.

Why do you think Kamala lost?

Not because she "cackled."

I’m a traditional conservative. I don’t love Trump but I’m happy that the border is closed and that they’re trying to reduce government spending. And yes I want illegal immigrants deported, starting with violent criminals but not stopping there.

US Debt Clock site lists $175 billion saved, and the deficit number is essentially flat.

The spending cuts will pale in comparison to the tax revenues lost when the billionaires' taxes are lowered as promised.

Other than opposing Trump, what is your agenda for the country?

Taxing the wealthy and corporations to better fund programs that help working class/middle class Americans.

Overturning Citizens United.

Streamlined immigration system that offers more protection and dignity than sneaking across the border.

Stronger supports for young families (national paid parental leave, childcare subsidies and/or increasing the dependent FSA amount, more federal investment in public schools, increasing child tax credits, etc.)

Not having a sexual predator in the White House.

Fixing student loans so that people don’t pay more interest than the principal.

Expanded first time homebuyer tax credits/low interest loans.

Gun reform (e.g. taxes and limitations on ammo, strict liability for parents who don’t lock up their guns, waiting periods and background checks across all states).

Expanded access to mental health treatment including inpatient centers and drug rehabilitation.

Strong relationships with national allies and distancing from ties to Russia. Stop trying to buy Greenland.

And also I do agree with some conservative values. I’d love to see stricter enforcement of criminal laws, especially very harsh consequences for gun crimes and DUI. I’m also 100% for anything that will help limit fentanyl coming across our borders.

Let’s talk about your #1 priority, taxing the wealthy. If a family earns $1 million in ordinary income in a year, what do you think is the fair share they should pay in taxes?

This is the problem. People get defensive about the family making $1M (who I agree is wealthy) but this isn’t who the main problem is. It’s companies like Tesla paying no income tax despite making over $2B that is wrong. It’s the people sitting on their capital gains and using it as leverage loan collateral (essentially using these gains as an asset while not having to pay any taxes). It seems reasonable that once someone has amassed a certain amount of wealth they should be incentivized to keep that money flowing through the economy.

And I also think we need a shift from people protecting “their money” at all costs. People make money thanks to our treasury. Money insured because the FDIC. Commerce happens because of taxpayer investments in infrastructure. So if you make a lot of money thanks to all these taxpayer investments then you should provide enough money back in taxes for the privilege of living in a society that continues to function. I mean at some point if we don’t make sure to spread wealth we will end up with mansions surrounded by slums and civil uprisings like other countries with income disparity. If I had a billion dollars I would certainly rather live in a country that is stable with a good quality of life than be the lord among the serfs.

Why do people say things like this? Biden probably wasn't running the country the last 4 years. There are advisors that advise every president (except for maybe Trump), so to say that Obama was running things, is laughable.

What on earth do you see as pro-family values in a man who has 5 children by three different women, cheated on at least two of his wives, and brags that he can grab women by the puSy? And his co-president, who no one voted for, has 14 children by more women than anyone seems to be able to keep track of- only some of while he’s been married to.

What tells values to do you see him when he uses the Bible as a prop and has no idea what’s inside? There’s zero evidence that he’s a religious person. . . .

I’m the PP you responded to. As your first point:

Now do Bill Clinton and JFK. I’ll wait.


To the second: I don’t see Trump as a religious person, but Mike Pence (a man whose faith and values I admire) did not see Trump that way either. So what?

America is a secular country: I do not need a president who shares my religious faith; I need one who respects the Constitution and who puts America first; given the choice between Trump and racism-supporting Kamala Harris and her domestic-violence-prone husband, it was a simple choice:

Trump/Vance.

BTW - I trust Trump to respect and restore religious tolerance on college campus across the USA; something Kamala failed to do.

And I meant to add: you created a multi-billion dollar DEI or DEIA “industry.” The fact is:

DEI = racism. I cannot and will not support racism; will you?

DEI means I have an equal chance at landing the same job for the same pay as my male counterparts.

Do you trust Bloomberg news?

- 94% of jobs recently given EXCLUSIVELY to BIPOC Americans.

Does 94% given to ONE group sound like there was (as you put it) an “equal chance” in hiring? Read it yourself:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-black-lives-matter-equal-opportunity-corporate-diversity/#:~:text=While%20the%20biggest%20shifts%20in,went%20to%20workers%20of%20color.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-black-lives-matter-equal-opportunity-corporate-diversity/#:~:text=While%20the%20biggest%20shifts%20in,went%20to%20workers%20of%20color.

As always, cherry picking.
1. This was for one year only
2. BIPOC is not just one group. It means that companies made an effort to hire Black, Asian, Pacific Islanders, and Hispanic employees. That's a large group.
3." But even such big one-time gains — and losses — represent a relatively small slice of the full picture. The share of executive, managerial and professional roles held by people of color increased by about 2 percentage points compared with 2020. That still leaves most companies in our dataset lopsided, with White people holding a disproportionate share of high-paying jobs at S&P 100 companies."

So one year of a diversity initiative didn't really change the field as much as you whiners and liars say.

I recommend everybody read the article this person posted. It's actually super factual and insightful.

Just don't be a moron and take facts out without contacts like the pp

Obvious and blatant racism is ok if it’s “for one year only” ??

We can’t take anyone seriously that trusts Trump, so just get yourself a red hat and a Russian flag. You are welcome to rejoin civilization when you get it together.

See bold. BIPOC are not capable, by definition, of being or doing anything racist.

Only whites, who benefit from unearned white privilege because of their skin-color, can be racists.

Good economy, ending wars, famine, pestilence and disease and letting people live their lives - pretty much the agenda the Dems have varried out for the last half century.

The border is just as secure today as it was this time last year.
There have not been $175 billion saved, where on earth did you get that tripe?

The border isn't closed. People can still come across, just as they did before January 20th.
