How does anyone put up with reading crap like this? Literally every sentence is as shrill and manipulative as they can manage. The author is terrified you might form an opinion of your own.

I probably put more thought into this than I should, but I feel it should be mentioned that this was almost certainly written by a non-american who speaks English as a second language.

Some of the word choices are very telling: "Falangist" and "Mosleyite" are references that, if they were made by an American, would only be made by an American acaademic from one of those "woke" universities, and they certainly wouldn't use these terms incorrectly as this cognitively challenged author does. "Gavage" is an unusual word for most American English speakers. It is originally a French word for force-feeding ducks or geese to make their livers grow enormous and delicious. I believe an American would more likely have said " force feed" or " indoctrinate". Taken together with " tommyrot" -again, not a common americanism- leads me to believe this is someone who learned English in the United Kingdom or from a British teacher/ source materials.

When woke parents, teachers, and judges join forces to gavage "woke" tommyrot into the minds of young kids, it's time to consider the options you have regarding your kids' education.

Now is a good time to remind you that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) just signed a law stating that schools need not contact parents if their child decides he wants to cut off his p*nis because he thinks he's a girl that day.

Lmao. Is somebody getting paid to write this stuff? They must be getting paid in rubles.

That kind of anti-trans bigotry has to be against Lemm.ee instance rules.

"B.B.'s mom had no idea the punishment had taken place until another parent told her roughly a year after the woke nonsense took place."

The government should not be keeping secrets from parents.
