In the nightmare future of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, children are reared in state creches where the curriculum is a modern Marxist’s wet dream. “We had Elementary Sex for the first 40 minutes… But now it’s switched over to Elementary Class Consciousness.”
But what Huxley intended as a ludicrous satire is fast becoming even more ludicrous reality, to the point that American parents are having to sue their children’s schools to not force them to consume pornography.
The Supreme Court appeared on Tuesday to lean in favor of a group of religious parents who sued a Maryland school board over its refusal to allow their K-5 children to opt out of LGBTQ+ curriculum.
Of course, by ‘LGBTQ+’ curriculum, they really mean, ‘Queer Theory porn’. If that sounds melodramatic, the school board concedes that it “could compel instruction using pornography and parents would have no rights”.
In 2022, the Montgomery County Board of Education announced new “inclusivity” books for K-5 students and took away parental notice and opt-outs for story books that discuss topics like “gender” transitions, pride parades, and preferred pronouns. Some of the reading materials include The Pride Puppy, Uncle Bobby’s Wedding, and Born Ready: The True Story of a Boy Named Penelope.
Now, you and I would think that whether or not children should be exposed to such stuff is entirely up to their parents. Not in the brave new world where the Long March left have totally conquered the public school system.
In 2023, a federal court upheld a lower court decision siding with Maryland’s largest school district, and the mix of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish parents appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court agreed to take up the case in January.
In their petition, parents ultimately asked the Supreme Court to answer: “Do public schools burden parents’ religious exercise when they compel elementary school children to participate in instruction on gender and sexuality against their parents’ religious convictions and without notice or opportunity to opt out?”
If the schools are so sure that everything is above board, why did they behave like groomers, by trying to keep it all their little secret?
Justice Samuel Alito pressed [the school board’s attorney, Alan Schoenfeld] on why the schools decided not to accommodate students when they have opt-outs for other materials and subjects.
“Well, the – the plaintiffs here are not asking the school to change its curriculum. They’re just saying, look, we want out. Why isn’t that feasible? What is the big deal about allowing them to opt out of this?” Alito said.
Because, as Schoenfeld tacitly conceded, it’s all about brainwashing kids without their parents’ knowledge.
“You’ve included these in the English language curriculum rather than the human sexuality curriculum to influence students, is that fair? That’s what the district court found. Do you agree with that?” [Justice Neil Gorsuch] continued.
“I think, to the extent the district court found that it was to influence, it was to influence them towards civility, the natural consequence of being exposed to– ” Schoenfeld replied.
“Whatever, but to influence them,” Gorsuch interjected.
There being no clown show without Idiot Punch, it was up to Justice Ketanji Brown – she who was unable to say what a woman is – to drop the dumbest argument in the court.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated that […] “We don’t at this moment, based on the record you’ve provided, know that these books aren’t just sitting on the shelves.”
Except that you do know, or you should, you silly bint: because the question had already been clarified for Justice Clarence Thomas, who asked Eric Baxter, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty attorney representing the parents, how the record showed that the children “are more than merely exposed” to the books. Because, Baxter answered, the school board forces teachers to use them in class.
“We know that the – the teachers are required to use the books. When the books were first introduced in August of 2022, the board suggested they be used five times before the end of the year,” Baxter said, citing transcripts and evidence submitted to the court. “One of the schools, the Sherwood School, in June, for Pride Month, said that they were going to read one book each day to celebrate Pride Month. The board’s own testimony through Superintendent Hazel said that the books must be used as part of the instruction and…that discussion will ensue.”
“That was the entire point of withdrawing the opt-outs and removing even notifying parents. They’re not even allowed to know,” Baxter explained. “The board said in that statement it was so that every student would be taught from the inclusivity storybooks.”
The question we should be asking is not whether parents should be allowed to opt out of such stuff. The real question is just why are public schools so determined to force kids into Queer Theory indoctrination, and why are they so secretive about it?
