If it was in a science class, absolutely. Unless it was in a World Religions class, it shouldn't be in a public school - - just like a preacher wouldn't be explicating The Grapes of Wrath or solving quadratic equations in church.

It's not just part of it. It's the backbone of it. Other right-wing nationalist and white supremacy movements wouldn't have any power or influence at all if they weren't riding on the coattails of the Christian Right.

The left controls these industries. Academia, entertainment, publishing, media, social media, journalism, tech and a lesser degree banking and payment processing. in these industries, you better be about LGBTQ, you better be about BLM, and about Feminism, about pro immigration. Some of these industries the left control have a lot of clout and can control what you say or what you think. Industries that left control that can prevent you what you say is from Tech, Social Media, publishing, and academia control what you can think. This is not good in my book and a slippery slope not only for the right, but for those on the left as well who do not subscribe with far left activism and intersectionality.

For academia, try o send your kids to private. Entertainment, obstain from it, Social Media, cancel your social media accounts. Tech, stop using apple, Microsoft, google, tech apps. Example, Microsoft is woke, and xbox is part of Microsoft, play Nintendo which is not a woke brand or part of the woke culture. Starbucks is also woke, and if you don't want to drink at a place that is woke, go to Dunkin Donuts.

Relax.

The “Left” in America might result in universal healthcare, mandated vacation time, and maternity/paternity leave. In the rest of the first world, those things are already standard.

The Left in America is pretty tame.

No need to worry. You’ll be fine.

Yes, LGBTQ, African Americans, women and immigrants should generally not be discriminated against. Immigrants won't have all the same rights as citizens, but nonetheless I'm surprised any of this is controversial in 2019.

They do it all the time. They assume because I am conservative, I am Christian, which I am not.

Doesn't bother me. I am used to it on here.

And you would be ok with trying to get him or her fired? Like I said. Hypocrites.

And show me the science that says the world will end in 12 years if we don't do the Green New Deal. I would like to see it. BTW, didn't Al Gore say that 20 years ago?

That covers education.

If the cultural narrative does not appeal to you, pony up the parental time and effort to teach your children that being a mindless drone of that narrative is a bad thing, how to think for themselves, how t question dogma, etc.

That covers media and pop culture.

Both sections of my proposal require parents to be on the clock, 24/7/365, ever vigilant. Shouldn't be hard really, considering that when you choose parenting (and you do choose), that's exactly what you sign up for. Anyone can do it, just takes sustained effort and never letting your guard down. Never ever look fr "what can we make someone else do" solutions. ALWAYS look for the "what can I do without anyone's help at all" solutions.



This will never work as it requires common sense and accountability


For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Liberals wouldn't have any power or influence if they didn't illegally flood the country with 40-50 million illegals over the last 40 years, either.

To a certain degree. I agree.
