As I write this review, The New York Post reports that City Schools Chancellor David Banks cashiered an elected mother on a Manhattan Community Education Council (a parents’ advisory board). She got the boot ostensibly for criticizing a pro-Hamas editorial but really because—as she (and most observers) believe—she refused to pledge allegiance to gender ideology (on the Upper East Side, no less). It doesn’t matter that she was democratically elected: the self-anointed “guardians of democracy” will eliminate anybody whose notion of democracy is not theirs. Da, da tovarich! Happily, she’s suing Banks. Meanwhile, a federal court just told parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, who wanted to opt their kids out of the district’s “comprehensive” gender ideology program that they cannot, affirming the school board’s refusal. The school lockdowns of 2020 opened many parents’ eyes to the ideological indoctrination being propagandized in American public schools. As parents and children shared the same quarters during online schooling, parents discovered what was “mainstream” in so many school systems. When they woke up, Merrick Garland’s Justice Department labeled them “domestic terrorists” (alongside those Catholics that go to Latin Mass). When a father whose girl was raped as a result of Loudon County, Virginia’s confusion about girl’s bathrooms being for girls, not boys, he was arrested–and is probably one reason why Democrats got kicked out of the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond.
