Biden Administration Will 'Monitor' Florida's New Parental Rights Bill
Townhall, Mar 29, 2022

White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield made a rare appearance at the daily press briefing Tuesday afternoon and told reporters the Department of Education will monitor the implementation of Florida's new Parental Rights in Education bill.

"The Department of Education...will monitor this law upon implementation to evaluate whether it violates federal civil rights law," Bedingfield said.

The Parental Rights in Education bill bars the instruction of sexual education or orientation to children younger than eight years old and is supported by the majority of Americans, including Democrats. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law this week and blasted critics for misrepresenting its purpose.

“Parents’ rights have been increasingly under assault around the nation, but in Florida we stand up for the rights of parents and the fundamental role they play in the education of their children,” DeSantis released in a statement. “Parents have every right to be informed about services offered to their child at school, and should be protected from schools using classroom instruction to sexualize their kids as young as 5 years old.”

DeSantis is on the right side. The whitehouse and their scotus Nominee are on the side of groomers and pedo's.

From an article written by Rod Dreher discussing a substack essay that was written by a very courageous Disney employee (most likely soon to be an ex-employee):

UPDATE:  A great comment by a reader explains why I’m not going to back down on using the term “groomer” to describe these people:

I see some folks on this comment thread saying that calling this behavior “grooming” isn’t right, and that this isn’t an appropriate response to it.

I’m a Boy Scout leader. Every year I have to take Youth Protection Training. And it sucks. We hear stories from adults of how they were taken advantage of as kids. You hear gut-wrenching stuff. It’s awful. The case studies are cringe-inducing. We send the kids off to watch a video (Star Wars Rebels is great!) while we sit through the class.

One of the key points they make in that training is that one of the strategies that abusers use is to expose kids to sexuality at an age before they are emotionally ready to deal with it. And another is that they tell kids to hide abusive behavior from their parents. Offering access to pornography to underage children is another desensitization strategy.

Every one of these behaviors that our gracious host (rightfully) calls out in the trans ideology is characteristic of predators grooming children for abuse. And while the Disney and the school systems Rod points to may not be intending to do so, they are creating a culture and a system within which abuse will flourish because they are enabling them.

Transgenderism as applied to children is nothing more and nothing less than grooming for pedophiles.  Period.  End of discussion.  Anyone who engages in it should be arrested and charged with attempted child abuse.

Remove the ''attempted'

Fair enough.  How about "at least attempted" - depending on the degree to which transgenderism was actually inflicted on the child.  I'm interested in picking up anyone who even tries to expose children to transgenderism - as attempted child abuse - in addition to catching those who actually inflict it on a child, in which case it's a completed crime, not a mere attempt.
