What if the whole goal of the Secular Left is to destroy normalcy and order?
I'm currently devouring Logan Lancing's book, The Queering of the American Child, and it is staggering. Motivated by the birth of his first child, Logan spent 4 years trying to understand how and why the American education system had become so disordered and degenerate. Interviewed by Jordan Peterson, he pointed to what happened at Evergreen State as a seminal moment in his decision to pursue his research and, incidentally, the start of his journey from left to right.
Driven by a nearly obsessive curiosity about what was happening in American education, he consumed everything he could find written by the progressives who marched through our institutions and took over the culture. Rather than trying to learn their goals and methods through observation, he went straight to their books, articles, essays and training materials and discovered that they had boldly and clearly stated their principles, intentions and thought processes.
With that introduction, here's one of the most stunning revelations from the book.
Queer Educators are not concerned with teaching kids to read, write, do mathematics, or become normal adults. Queer Educators are only concerned with radicalizing children—all children. Queer Theory teaches kids to denounce our current society—all standards, rules, definitions, categories, and traditions—at every conceivable level while simultaneously announcing new queer possibilities. As stated by Jose Esteban Murioz in his 2009 book Cruising Utopia,
Queerness is not yet here. Queerness is an ideality. Put another way, we are not yet queer. We may never touch queerness, but we can feel it as the warm illumination of a horizon imbued with potentiality. We have never been queer, yet queerness exists for us as an ideality that can be distilled from the past and used to imagine a future. The future is queerness's domain. Queerness is a structuring and educated mode of desiring that allows us to see and feel beyond the quagmire of the present. The here and now is a prison house.n (Munoz, 2009, p. 1)
Disturbingly, Queer Activists are obsessed with schools. They know that if they can control the schools, they can brainwash future generations to root out and eliminate all normalcy in society. Their deconstructive campaign has been so successful that school administrators and teachers nationwide now believe that children can be "born in the wrong body"; so successful that teachers legitimately believe that they can't tell what a student's sex is by looking at them; so successful that an all-girls school no longer thinks it's OK to call girls "girls."
What does a queer school look like? It looks like your typical K-12 school today. Queer schools have firmly entrenched DEI commitments, policies, and practices. They have new language codes and rules designed to suppress dissent and enforce ideological conformity. Queer schools are less focused on learning traditional subjects and more focused on an endless barrage of psycho-social and emotional manipulations. They are full of pride flags, pornographic books, drag queens, and religious cult rituals.
Queer Activists have transformed education's purpose, methods, and content to push kids to become Queer Activists themselves. They have determined that the best way to do this is to teach kids to queer themselves—to teach kids to destabilize their minds and bodies by deconstructing their identity until they become queer, which is a political cult identity that has nothing to do with sex, "gender," or sexuality. In the words of world-renowned Queer Theorist David Halperin, queer is "an identity without an essence." Whoa. In full context, he gives away the game: "queer" is a wholly political stance against normalcy and legitimacy and has little or nothing to do with homosexuality itself. He writes,
Unlike gay identity, which, though deliberately proclaimed in an act of affirmation, is nonetheless rooted in the positive fact of homosexual object-choice, queer identity need not be grounded in any positive truth or in any stable reality. As the very word implies, "queer" does not name some natural kind or refer to some determinate object; it acquires its meaning from its oppositional relation to the norm. Queer is by definition whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant. There is nothing in particular to which it necessarily refers. It is an identity without an essence. (Halperin, 1995, p. 62, italics in original)
Italics in the original.
Payoff: "it acquires its meaning from its oppositional relation to the norm."
The goal is the destruction of the very concept of normalcy, a goal that can never be reached. The revolution is perpetual, it is the continual destruction of all stabilizing forces in society. The progressives believe that all stabilizing forces, i.e. "normalcy," were created by oppressors for the purpose of exploiting and oppressing the "marginalized."
Anyone who tries to suggest that there is such a thing as "normal" is silenced, suppressed and attacked. The very concept of normalcy is driven from children's minds through constant propaganda and manipulation.
It's silly to say this, but destabilizing the culture is, well, destabilizing. You can see the fruits of this all around us, whether that's the descent of Oakland, CA into a third-world slum, the oceans of drug-addicted homeless in California's major cities, the chaos and violence in Chicago, Portland and New York or the erasure of the American border with Mexico. Things that are normal - borders, law enforcement, disruption of drug use - are being eliminated with destabilizing results.
