Gore is also trying to push the globalist malarky about "climate refugees" claiming that the economoic migrants who are the bulk of illegal aliens are "climate refugees". The UN already tried that smoke and mirrors routine, making a dire warning in 2004 that there would be 50 million "climate refugees" by 2010 and even specifying where they would come from. When population in those areas actually went up, they finally had to admit that there had not been any climate refugees.

Those complaints about Al Gore physially molesting women in several cities should have been prosecuted to send this blowhard back to his beachfront mansion, hopefully after a stint wearing an orange jump suit.

Jann, that link you provided just reeks of wokeness, and its author is SAVVAS' Director of Professional Learning Content, someone who will have a lot of influence in the direction of their content. Most alarmingly it pushes sexualized content with no age appropriate critera and that is a huge red flag. But if you drill down in what this woman has to say, she also pushes "Critical Theory", "intersectionality" (a concept of Critical Theory). and "overlapping experiences of oppression". This woman's leftwing radicalism is shown by her involvement with one of the most vicious far left groups in America, the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Critical Race Theory is just one part of the Marxist developed Critical Theory. Dr. Herbert Marcuse was a leading Marxist theorist of the German Communist Party during the Weimar Republic and fled to the US in the early days of the Nazi regime, taking a professor's position at a leading American University. He had expected the proletariat to rise up against the Nazis and when they did not, his goal was to create further divisions in society that the communists could exploit. The result was his devlopment of Critical Theory. Some years later, a group of Marxist professors developed Critical Race Theory out of Marcuse's Critical Theory.

An education group that has a hardline leftist like this as its Director of Professional Learning Content is not one whose product we should be putting in front of the children of Beaufort County.

SAVVAS was one of the companies whose textbooks were rejected by the state of Florida as being too woke. Why in the heck are they being proposed in Beaufort County?

And, Big Bob, the "woke" agenda of their attacks on history is extremely similar to Mao's Cultural Revolution in Red China. I guess you consider mass murderer Mao "a decent human being"?

Woke is also highly racist. If you are white, you are bad. If you are a white male, you are worse, and a heterosexual white male worse still. Worst of all in their woke racist world is a white male heterosexual Christian.

SAVVAS which is what Beaufort County Schools want to bring in is nothing but "woke."
If you do any research you can clearly see what they want to embrace on the children.
I will send a link on the website to some of the teachers training.

blog.savvas.com

Is also reads from the very start of the website that it's a all digital learning with democratic values.

One of the most fundamental rules of medicine is "first, do no harm". Procedures that assist patients in self-harm would not pass muster under that principle, whether it is assisted suicide or genital mutilation. But it is clear that someone who supports one type of self harm would likely be okay with another.

Oh, and Big Bob, legal "assisted suicide" is NOT legal in "many" US states. In fact, most Americans doing that have to go abroad to do it.

As with all elective surgeries CV, it pays to investigate all the possible outcomes. By doing so you might decide not to do it. Then again you might. Risk vs Reward. I'm not going to tell anybody what to do. Its called freedom.
I understand the notion that gender dysphoria might be considered a mental illness of some kind. I might even agree, but I think each individual case needs to be evaluated by doctors and shrinks. Who are we to say?

The problem with the ineffective Karine Jean-Pierre is that in her position as press secretary, one needs to be a practiced lawyer, or a journalist. Karine Jean-Pierre is neither.

Competency of intellect is also a valuable tool that Karine Jean-Pierre does not possess, which was a giant tool for all of President Trump's permanent press secretaries.

Tillis is like a boy who thinks he is a girl. He is a Democrat who fantacizes that he is a Republican, a transpartisan, and they are as mixed up in the head as a transsexual. It would not surprise me, any day, to see Tillis come out and tell us some new pronouns for him?self. Tillis is probably the worst RINO that NC has ever produced and the sell-out has illustions of running for governor in 2024.

Ok, Harry has totally lost it, or he is doing those stupid mushrooms again.

You can't tell me that Megan is not behind this BS.

Anyway you shake it, if not done against your will, it's just elective surgery. Can it go bad? Sure. As can any surgery. Bottom line, transgender people exist. They make Big Bob uncomfortable, but they are human beings. I will not let my discomfort or a crackpot ideology convince me to be so disrespectful and hateful towards others.

The victims of this surgery end up badly mutilated whether they agreed to it or not. Those articles show that they suffer lots of other side effects, too, which the doctors are often not telling them about. These doctors are like Dr, Josef Mengele and are a disgrace to the medical profession.

Virginia is also joining Florida in challenging "woke" in the classroom, at least from the state level. Some local boards like Loudon County and Fairfax County are "woke" extremists.

North Carolina as a state has butchered its history ("social studies") curriculum by a "woke" version from the state level, and it is up to local boards to "just say NO" to that.
