None of that is true Stan.

Clearly, Cheeseman is more interested in his own image than in protecting our students. Will anything substantial be done to keep them safe from this garbage? It is doubtful.

Semantics. Gender assignment is done at every birth. Most cases are easy. Some are not. Just the way it is.

The corruption in the Federal and State governments is run from the House and Senate Caucuses. Those caucuses have set up PACs. That is where the special interests dump their buy money. The money is divided mostly among incumbents for their re election campaigns depending on how they vote. A big enough bag of money will get you just about anything you want. That is why Mitch Mcconnell is hanging on in the Senate. Money is power.

This is not about free enterprise. It is about corrupt power politics to push the desires of a corrupt special interest that has bought the political favor of several powerful politicians inlcuding Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and this district's pay-for-play senator Jim Perry. They are playing hardball with conscientious legislators, threatening to take all the money for their districts out of the budget unless they support the casinos. That is extortion and Berger and Perry are some of the chief extortionists.

There is the victim town, Summerfield, in Berger's home county. They have already passed a resolution that they do not want the casino. Hundreds of citizens have turned out to meetings opposing the casino. What did Berger do? He rammed through a bill de-annexing a doughnut hole in the town where the casino was planned and took away even extra-territorial zoning power from the town. This is all about a big contributor and buddy of Berger who wants to build a casino and his corrupt power politics to run over everybody elese to help him.

I have heard that Berger is going to get a primary challenge and he badly needs one. Our own corrupt senator, Jim Perry, does too.

And, hey, Walter Brown, the presidents who grab the private parts of women are Bill Clinson and Joe Biden. Ask Tata Reid, a former member of Biden's senate staff who he digitally raped (i.e. with his finger) against her will. That was secual abuse of an employee but the crooked MSM sweeps things like that under the rug for the Democrats.

The response of the school superintendant was a mixed bag, which he announced at the School Board meeting tonight, but not in a context that board members could weight in on it. To his credit, he did run down what happened, and of course the blame game was on a community college employee. What seemed to build a fire under him from his explanation seemed to be that the Education First Alliance publicized it, not that this inappropriate material was given to Beaufort County school children.

Cheeseman probably spent half his time on the fact that whoever put up the link for the article (but not the article itself) incorrectly mentioned Brunswick County. He was really vague about what would be done to stop this in our schools in the future, if anything. That left a big concern. A quiet talk with the community college president and sweeping it under the rug just won't do when we need our students protected from indoctrination with radical gender ideology.

"It's really somebody else's fault" does not protect our kids.

As to Bob's crazy contention, doctors do not "assign" gender to babies any more than they "assign" cancer or covid to patients. They examination the patient and report when the facts of that examination show them. Gender is biologically determined at conception from what chromosomes are present, and can be, and usually is, factually determined well before birth by ultrasound images. Doctors do not look at a baby that is biologically a boy and "assign" it to be a girl. That is far left ideological nonsense.

Some months ago, there were lots of parent complaints about an athletic form from a state organization that used the ideological and incorrect term "gender assigned at birth". Of course, no one "assigns" gender at birth because gender is established biologically at conception, and is most often observed long before birth on ultrasound images. That term is just politically made up nonsense. Beaufort County Schools said they complained to the organization that prepared the forms, but I have not heard if it went any farther than that.

That incident should have put the schools on notice that parents object to this kind of thing, but what is being reported by Education First Alliance is far more sinister as it is actually seeking to indoctrinate children into radical gender ideology. It is critical to get to the bottom of this and put a stop to it.

The experts in this area tell us that for most children who experience gender confusion, it is a temporary problem that they naturally grow out of. Attempts to prevent their natural progression to a healthy knowledge of and respect for their factual gender are a threat to these children's future. While some kids will not grow out of it, and reasonable accomdation should be made for them, school policy should concentrate on what is most beneficial for the majority of gender confused children, and that is NOT "gender unicorns".

In all of this Institutional Corruption insanity perpetrated upon the Patriot Class by the Non Patriot Left, the theme of this article may be the most perfect juxtaposition of purposes, a great irony of such.

Rudy Giuliani, "America's Mayor," and one of the most storied federal prosecutors in America's rich history is being subjected to the intense scrutiny by a Democratic Socialist County Prosecutor, whose understanding of the law is deeply political, deeply within the intellectual confines of the Non Patriot Left.

One more note in this political prosecutorial insanity of the inane: It is "Rudy" that harbored the contents of the Infamous Laptop that Obama's Corrupt DOJ and Corrupt FBI covered up. It is this County Prosecutor that wishes to punish "America's Mayor" being an official of the court, his deep understanding of real Constitutional Law; not the malleable Leftist law of the Non Patriot Class.
