Of course not. But I have a very hard time believing 2nd grade in Florida is so much different than my kids school in Oklahoma Is it a chapter from their social studies book? How is it being taught?
Now we are at the crux of the matter. I didn't think it needed to be a law. Seemed unnecessary.

Then the law was passed, and suddenly there is outrage and campaigns to repeal. Why?

Say, for example, a law was passed that you can't frick your dog. In my mind, it is ridiculous to have that law, because the act is so abhorrent throughout all walks of society.

Now if there were a huge lobby trying to repeal the law, it would take me aback. I would immediately think "wow. I had no idea so many people want to frick their dogs"

And I would then support the law.

I support the law, because I now realize a significant portion of public school teachers want to groom children in sexuality and gender bullshite.

Good start.

Now cancel cable/satellite. Then cancel Nike, Adidas, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Facebook, Twatter, Walmart, Home Depot, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, Amazon, most major airlines, etc.

I have. It's difficult to find things. Like learning how to walk again. But you figure it out. And you also figure out pretty quickly that you occasionally have to grit your teeth and give a few of these entities your money anyway, but you can definitely minimize it.

Disney with kids…hard to explain where Bluey went. And why. But I’m getting there. Disney has gone mad woke. Home Depot and then must have same management.

American Express gives me a $30/mo credit for Disney and HBO max but if they weren't effectively free for me I'd ditch them. The kids watch marvel shite but I think they could live without them.

Your reality is different than mine. I’ve seen no evidence of this in my children’s school. Admittedly, it’s a conservative part of the country. Maybe it’s different in Florida.

So National Teachers unions and major national corporations aren't opposed to the law. . .in Oklahoma?

Or are you saying you don't have opinions on anything that doesn't affect you immediately and directly?

Well, since you put it that way. I’m probably guilty of this, more so than not

Fair enough

But that belies your interest in this thread

I have opinions on a few things that have no direct effect on me...Genocide, wars, LSU football, child slavery, the homeless, child grooming. . .I am sure there is a few more.

Must be pretty chill to be so intellectually isolated.

I did this a few years ago with Gillette when they went on their man-hating marketing spree for their men's shaving products

I've been using Harry's and have been enjoying shaving ever since.

Companies need to do a better job understanding their customer base. I don't think the board members of these corporations have any clue what's going on at all.

Season generally runs from February to November. 6 nations to start the year and international union and World Cup is after. I grew up in former British colonies and like rugby and good cricket. I despise soccer (glorified kick the can).

Unless you were a huge fan of some tiny school I don't know why anyone would want this.


Because rugby, cricket, fencing are generally not televised in the US. Although Fox Sports does carry some rugby now.

I'm starting a D+ account now because you know they are going to trick out Pinocchio and snow white to fit their pro tranny agenda.

Canceled my Disney + last week and will also be canceling my Disney trip in December with family as well. Kind of sucks.

Some people don’t think it be like it is, but it do!

When my 5-6 year old nieces were at my house, I got on youtube and pulled up old cartoons I loved as a kid(Garfield etc). They loved it. There are plenty of alternatives to Disney.
