School District Forbids Parents From Opting Kids Out of LGBT Lessons

By Todd Starnes - April 25, 2018

Parents in Orange County, California may not opt their children out of lessons related to gender identity or sexual orientation, according to a memorandum written by the school district’s general counsel.

“Parents who disagree with the instructional materials related to gender, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation may not excuse their children from this instruction,” read the memorandum from Ronald Wenkart to the Orange County Board of Education.

A school district spokesman confirmed the authenticity of the memorandum sent to us by a parent.

“However, parents are free to advise their children that they disagree with some or all of the information presented in the instructional program and express their views on these subjects to their children,” the attorney wrote.

His analysis was included in a March 29 memorandum that was supposed to be a comprehensive legal review of the California Healthy Youth Act.

The legislation requires school districts to provide students with comprehensive sexual health education. The law mandates that schools “teach about gender, gender expression, gender identity, and the harm of negative gender stereotypes.”

According to the law, students can be excused from the comprehensive sexual health education portion of the law. But it’s what kids are not exempt from that has parents concerned.

The school district’s general counsel said that exemption does not apply to “instructions, materials or programming that discusses gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, relationships, or family and does not discuss human reproductive organs and their functions.”

Perhaps even more alarming is the belief that school districts and the California General Assembly knows what’s best for school children. From Patch.com:

“The courts have held that parents do not have the constitutional rights to override the determinations of the state legislature or the school district as to what information their children will be provided in the public school classroom,” the memorandum read.

The Shocking Rumors About Chick-fil-A are True, America

Allow me to be blunt – the idea that parents do not have the constitutional right to determine what is best for their child is downright evil. Yes, evil.

Our nation’s public schools have been turned into indoctrination centers by a gang of radical, sex and gender revolutionaries. Our education system has been taken hostage.

As I wrote in my latest book, “The Deplorables’ Guide to Making America Great Again,” we must rise up and take back our public schools.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the great German theologian, once said, silence in the face of evil is evil itself. Friends, we are facing evil in our great nation and we must not be silent.

 T.S. Eliot - "A nation’s system of education is much more important than its system of government."

Lewis, C. S. - "We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

Starbucks, and all those staged events and phony outrage

It is becoming more obvious that progressives are staging events.

Sometimes events are so poorly choreographed that it is obvious to all but the most obtuse that everything was staged.  This was the case at Starbucks, where two black men were arrested "for sitting in the coffee house waiting for a business colleague."  That's right.  They were arrested for sitting.  Now is the time for the gnashing of teeth, the rending or garments, and the banging of spoons on high chairs.  The police report must read "Offense: sitting."  This is a great opportunity for the socially enlightened to demonstrate their breathtaking virtue.  Break out the pink hats and get ready to howl at the moon.

What would reasonable people do if they were waiting to meet someone in a restaurant?  Even reasonable people who don't like Starbucks would purchase a small drink.  What would reasonable people do if they were asked to leave?  They would leave and wait for their friend outside.  What would reasonable people do if they were asked to leave by the police?  It is not necessary to answer that question.  The police reportedly asked them to leave three times.  Now it is believed that white people can sit in Starbucks indefinitely without being asked to leave.  If they are asked to leave, they don't have to.  If the police arrive and ask them to leave three times, they can ignore the police, and the police will go away.  It's white privilege, you know.

The timing of this incident could not have been better.  Andrew Yaffe, the alleged real estate developer the pair were waiting for, arrived shortly after the police began cuffing the pair.  Does Malissa dePino, the camerawoman, know Yaffe?  That would not be surprising.  The only improvement in this scenario would be if the pair were divinity students.

Businesses need to make a profit.  Starbucks wants more than that.  The CEO of Starbucks wants to be loved.  Starbucks CEOs have been seeking this love for years.  First they wanted their employees to engage their customers on race.  Next they proclaimed their love of "refugees."  Their search has been a failure.  Now they will publicize that their restrooms are open to the nonpaying public as well as their seating.  Why pay for the internet?  Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson announced, "Creating an environment that is both safe and welcoming for everyone is paramount for every store."

Johnson will find that his policies do not work.  The city of San Francisco is realizing that its compassion has a price: disturbing surveys find trash, needles, feces littering streets of San Francisco.  There are barbarians out there who will not only not clean up after themselves, but actually vandalize Starbucks restrooms. 

The mainstream media have done their best to portray this as a case of 21st-century racism.  The Daily Kos reported, "The trauma of arrest was followed by isolation and imprisonment."  According to Time magazine, the pair were "afraid for their lives."  Robinson said he thought about his loved ones, and Nelson wondered if he'd make it home alive.  The AP reported, "The black men arrived a few minutes early.  Three police officers showed up not long after."  In other words, they were not there long before the police were called.  According to the AP, they were there for only a few minutes when the police were called.  The black police commissioner, Richard Ross, naturally defended his men, claiming that "Nelson and Robinson were disrespectful to his officers."

In addition to the trauma, Donte Robinson appears to be racked with guilt.  He wondered what he might have done to bring this on himself and his "brother."  "I'm trying to think of something I did wrong, to put not just me but my brother, my lifelong friend ... in this situation."  In spite of the trauma and the guilt, they seem to be doing well.  They are all smiles as they pose for a portrait in their attorney's office. 

Where is the Intelligence in the Intelligence Community

Perhaps one of the most disappointing revelations about the current intelligence community (IC) kerfuffle is the remarkable lack of intelligence in the higher echelons of the intelligence community.   These people have attended charm schools where they have been told they are the crème de la crème.  They believe this.  They should not.  If you overestimate your abilities and underestimate those of your opponent you will be in for some surprises.  The supposedly dimwitted Donald Trump has run rings around these geniuses in the government and media.

One of their biggest mistakes was to rely one the Steele “dossier.”  Perhaps as an inside joke it was classified “Confidential/Sensitive Source.”  If one hundred veteran intelligence officers who have seen more than ten thousand classified documents each were polled and asked if they had ever seen such a classification they would all answer no.  That would be over one million documents.  There is no such animal.  Also this “dossier” suggests that one of its sources is within Putin’s inner circle.  If the Russians did not believe that this was a joke Putin would be short one close confident.  The IC is behind the times.  The internet gives thousands of people with expertise in various areas access to the documents used to make bogus charges.  Dan Rather discovered this when he attempted to pass off bogus letters about George W. Bush’s military service.

One of the reasons the Russians knew it was a joke is because they have read the creator’s email.  The leadership of the intelligence community should know how vulnerable electronic communications are.   Even burner phones are not 100% secure. Yet they continually used them to communicate with each other concerning illegal activities.  Foreign intelligence services spend billions of dollars collecting intelligence on electronic communications.  If the intelligence community refuses to provide Congressional committees with these communications, perhaps the chairmen of these committees should request copies from the Russians, Israelis, or the North Koreans.  They could also check with Kane Gamble, an autistic 15 year old who redirected James Clapper’s phone calls to the Free Palestine Movement.  He also hacked several others in the IC.  Congressional committees have been waiting for several months for the IC to release over a million documents.  They could release those document in less than 16 days if they use the same technique used with the Wiener emails.  650,000 emails were cleared in 8 days. Although President Trump claimed, “You can’t review 650,000 new emails in eight days,” the FBI proved him wrong. 

These leaders also appear totally clueless when it comes to the political beliefs of their coworkers and subordinates.  Robert Mueller had no idea that Peter Strzok was extremely hostile toward Trump.  When he proved to be an embarrassment he was quietly removed from the team.  Is it an accident that Mueller’s entire team is composed of Clinton supporters?   James Comey claimed, “I never heard anyone on our team — not one — take a position that seemed driven by their personal political motivations. And more than that: I never heard an argument or observation I thought came from a political bias. Never.”  Christopher Wray was asked by Senator Heinrich “So you haven't seen any evidence of some sort of inherent political bias in the agency?”  Wray replied “No.”  If these leaders are not lying, the have no business in the IC or any other field that requires intelligence. 

James Comey wrote a book about his experiences in the FBI.  It is unnecessary to point out just how stupid that move was.  Needless to say he will regret this move which is probably the stupidest thing he has ever dome.  Because of the depths of the corruption in the IC Comey had to be less than forthcoming and lacked candor in his report.  In the plain English that President Trump speaks and most American understand: he LIED.  These lies will come back to bight him er . . . someplace.
