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.

This is just sick and perverted. It is Cheeseman's fault it is happening, either by collusion or by incompetence.

This is part and parcel what Institutional Corruption looks like: The Corrupt Corporate Media trotting out fake journalists to advocate stupidity to stupid people, and, sadly, to far too many that do not know better, but should.

The 1st Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees a "Free Press;" it does not guarantee a smart press or an honest one.

The Non Patriot Left knows this to their core, and that may one of the reasons that they are so intent in destroying our public education now, and for far too long a time.

There is an element of truth in all strong satire.

I find great humor in Babylon Bee; that is why we carry it.

This guy would be great for both Mexico and America if he gets elected. I hope he has very very good security, however. After the assassination of the conservative who was the frontrunner in Ecuador, the fact that he wants to take down the human smuggling criminal cartels creates some real presonal danger for him. If we had a real president like Trump, he could simply tell the cartels that if they get into any political assassinations, we will start droning their leaders on a wholesale basis. It is not a long drone flight from the western US to Mexico. Hellfire missiles can be a big deterrent.

Food security is National security.
A nation that cannot feed itself cannot defend itself. When will the NC GA wake up and move the DMF from DEQ to Dept of Ag to be treated like the food producing industry it is and has always been.
