Ok. I get it.
 
So from now on, when I meet a woman, I'm going to give her an overly agressive hard handshake. Then I will fart and laugh too loud. Then I will put the game on and give her a big high five, and toss her a cold brew.

You do get it!    :silly:

Your Children are Now to be Called Purple Penguins


Posted 16 hours ago by Gary DeMar Filed under Culture, Education, Email Featured, Ethics, Evolution, Family, Homosexuality, Liberalism, Political Correctness, n

Purple is the new liberal color. In politics, a blue state is a state dominated by Democrats. A red state is a state dominated by Republicans.




A purple state is neither blue nor red.

The politically correct and sexually confused liberal social engineers have taken the color purple and applied it to the school classroom in order to confuse and thus more easily manipulate children to believe sexual distinctions do not exist.

The Public (government) school system in Lincoln, Nebraska, wants to eliminate any notion of sexual distinctions by no longer referring to boys and girls as boys and girls. They are now “purple penguins.”

“Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” reads a handout from the Lincoln Public Schools that was given to teachers.

You can read the "gender bending" nonsense here.

Folks, this is Middle America. If it’s successful, that is, forced on the children, in Nebraska, it will happen in your school. Will this political correct nonsense mean that the Nebraska Cornhuskers will have to change to the Nebraska Penguins? They could have uniforms that make them look like Danny DeVito in Batman Returns (1992). DeVito won for Best Supporting Actor, and the film got the nod for Best Costume.

Seems like a natural. I explain below why social engineers most likely chose the penguin.

“The agenda we’re promoting is to help all kids succeed,” said Brenda Leggiardo, LPS coordinator of social workers and counselors. "We have kids who come to us with a whole variety of circumstances, and we need to equitably serve all kids.”

Notice the use of the word “agenda.” If these “educators” really want to help these children, they would teach them to read and write well, become proficient in the basics of math and science, and give them a well-rounded education in history, the humanities, and the fundamentals of the Constitution. A course in logic and rhetoric would also help.

Some parents are upset. They know what this is about. Rachel Terry, a parent with students at Lincoln Southeast High School and Irving Middle School, gets it:

“By sidelining academic teacher training and replacing it with social re-engineering, the LPS administration has placed a higher priority on social reformation than on education,” Terry says in a copy of an “introductory speech” prepared for school board members.




But why penguins?

The choice of calling children penguins is most likely based on the book And Tango Makes Three. This illustrated children’s book is about two male penguins that raise a baby penguin. It’s based on a true story of two male penguins in New York City’s Central Park Zoo that “adopt” a fertilized egg and raise the chick as their own.

It seems innocent enough until you understand the underlying agenda.

“The book has won many awards but also been at the center of numerous censorship and culture war debates on same-sex marriage, adoption, and homosexuality in animals. The American Library Association reports that And Tango Makes Three was the most challenged book of 2006 to 2010, except for 2009 when it was the second most challenged.”

Co-author Justin Richardson told the New York Times, “We wrote the book to help parents teach children about same-sex parent families.”

Some concerned parents view the book for what it is: a homosexual propaganda piece. The book is designed as a homosexual primer to soften up young minds for the more sophisticated propaganda.

In Biological Exuberance the author Bruce Bagemihl claims “The world is, indeed, teeming with homosexual, bisexual and transgendered creatures of every stripe and feather. . . . From the Southeastern Blueberry Bee of the United States to more than 130 different bird species worldwide, the ‘birds and the bees,’ literally, are queer.” ((Cristina Cardoze, “They’re in love. They’re gay. They’re penguins.... And they’re not alone” (June 6, 2006).

It’s OK for humans because animals do it.

They also eat excrement and their own vomit. Animals rape and often eat or kill their own.

Contrary to evolutionary theory, humans are not animals and never were animals. If animals are our moral example, then we are in deep trouble.

When Humphrey Bogart’s character in The African Queen said to Rose (Katherine Hepburn), “What ya being so mean for, Miss? A man takes a drop too much once and a while; it’s only human nature.” Without looking up, Rose says, “Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we are put in this world to rise above.”

They are too busy working two and three jobs to make ends meet for them to protect their children from the predations of the Educrats.
 
As was the plan.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

AC - here is your quote from the link you provided above

"IMO, this is the biggest area of disagreement among conservatives. Engage liberals and challenge their ideas? Or just keep to yourself and sing soprano in the choir.

The left are masters at in-your-face political action. Conservatives, not so much."




100% correct AC.  Until we are ready to engage, activate and ORGANIZE as per the Left - we will not be able to combat this stuff. 

Parents - you must ORGANIZE!

Yes, that is per the plan going all the way back to the Feminist movement - and it has worked spectacularly.

Destruction of the family unit! 

If we, as conservatives, cannot formulate and promote a positive message that will reach every man and woman that is sick and tired of working their lives away and losing control of raising their children in the manner they see fit - if we can't convince people that re-structuring your life to a simpler way is the only way to regain that control.....and fighting back at the system which strives to steal this from us is going to involve mass participation on our parts to achieve this.  Until we do this, we will continue to lose ground.

It's the old hippie philosophy - drop out of society - it is sick!

Don't trust the establishment - they want to control us!

Live simply - materialism is a trap!

Organize and protest in mass!


I'm not saying this works for everyone - but I do believe this is a way to reach the youth, and if we refuse to reach them - we lose.

The Lincoln Public Schools Superintendent is crying foul:

LPS superintendent reacts to national attention directed at district's gender identity training

Quote
Lincoln Public Schools Superintendent Steve Joel pushed back Thursday against what he said was misinformed reaction to the district’s gender identity training by national commentators and news outlets.

“It’s indeed regrettable that for the last week and a half we’ve had to dedicate as much staff time and resources to address an issue that is not founded in fact,” he said at a news conference.

“Never once has anyone inside our system mandated that a teacher take (the words) ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ or ‘ladies’ and ‘gentlemen’ out of their interactions with children or interaction with adults. There’s no policy, there’s no procedure, there’s no changes being made to bathrooms in schools.”

I guess they didn't like that they got caught.......
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Snopes is also stepping in:

Quote
Claim:   A school district in Lincoln, Nebraska has banned the use of gender pronouns and ordered teachers to use neutral terms such as "purple penguins" instead.

   MIXTURE:
   TRUE: Lincoln Public Schools have provided educators with materials to help them better understand gender identity issues.
 
   FALSE: The Lincoln school district has banned all reference to gender in favor of calling students "purple penguins."

Joel said the handouts were suggestions and strategies, not mandates, about how teachers could reach all students in their classrooms.

Not a mandate, only a suggestion.  :silly:

Snopes.  Also leftist.

I've thought that for a long time.
