I am making my first post in quite a while as I woke up today and remembered I do have a place where I can express myself. A place created to do that very thing!!!
Because our country and its’ discourse have became completely political and even worse, idealogical, it has left no room for free speech or expression of anything antithetical to the movement du jour. From vilifying the police, to the ensuing violence in the summer of 2020 through today, to the villifaction of any and all conservative or moderate voices, to the deluge of racism, wokeism, and transgenderism, it has been a long, silent time. Just watching as a very small percentage of our population, 8%, methodically and intentionally endeavor to dismantle our freedom, our beliefs, well, our country.
Focusing a populace on gender is dehumanizing. We are first and foremost human beings. It is unnatural to determine swaths of social policy based on any one group of people. When you have a person in a position of leadership and power who says “drag queens make everything better.” “there should be a drag queen in every classroom,” if defies comprehension. Seeing five year old children slipping dollar bills into the costume of a drag queen performer, it is mind numbing. Asking little children what gender they think they are when they should be choosing the color of their crayons…my heart is breaking for the things children are exposed to today. Parents unable to have a voice in what their children are being taught, being likened to terrorists, and not being able to control the indoctrinization that is taking place in schools. I am just so grateful not to be raising a child at this time, and my heart goes out to the parents who have to battle for their rights.
