Teaching At Ground Zero

After a meeting with fellow Catholic crazies, where we discussed how we were going to persecute homosexuals, wife kitteh and I went out with a couple of friends for dinner and drinks. They live in El Centro, where the per capita income is $19,700 compared with San Diego's $46,400. It's a poor place. The man is a principal at a public school and his wife is a teacher. We talked about the current trans mania.

They had a different take than I did. They teach close to ground zero of the progressives' nuclear attack on the traditional family. The man told me that when he meets with students and parents, only 1 in 20 has a married mom and dad. The woman told a story about a child being raised by her great grandmother. The parents are drug addicts and the grandparents are dead. Great grandma comes to school in a walker.

This isn't Jackson, Mississippi, where you'd be vaporized instantly, but it's close enough to experience the radiation from the blast.

In such a world, the children are almost all psychologically walking wounded. They desperately need love and guidance. To provide that, you need to have their trust. These two told us that if a child comes to them and identifies as trans, they don't argue with the kid about it or deny it, they go along with it. In their experience, if you dismiss what one of these kids is saying, they shut down. It's probably reflexive and learned at home where being told they're wrong can be a prelude to a beating.

The children are growing up in a world of no safety, no stability and no purposeful guidance. Using the preferred pronouns was a way to enter into the child's trust so you could provide them with some amount of love and tenderness.

If someone's dying of thirst, it's probably not worth handing them a book on proper nutrition and exercise. It might be best to give them a glass of water instead. It doesn't change the insanity of what is happening to our children, but it sheds light on a different part of the overall problem for our children.

Jordan Peterson Explains

I thought this video was excellent. I hadn't considered it before, but Jordan makes a great point that we haven't had enough time, only a generation or two, to experience the results of the sexual revolution. That dovetails with what my school principal friend was trying to tell me. Society is evolving and right now, we're going downwards. He believed that things will come back up, but in a different way than things were before.

Enjoy.

Sadly, what I see in your friends as you describe them is to women who believe/assert that it is more important to be "nice" (and consequently, "liked") than it is to be honest. And these misguided children will *still* pay a horrible life-price, for all that "niceness".

These children need love ... and that is mainly manifest by being held by adults (preferably adults of both sexes) who are permanent fixtures in their lives. Teachers have *never* been well equipped for that particular task, and even less so in Current Year.
