It is an understatement to say that the policies crammed down the throats of the American people by radical leftists are harmful to children. Most unfortunately, these self-titled progressives are in control of the Democrat Party, the news media, academia, the entire educational system, Hollywood, and most major corporations.
Childhood used to be a time of joy for the vast majority of children here in the United States. It was a time of innocence. Children spent most of their time playing when they were not in school. As you can see from this article, Alabama 6-Year-Old Suspended for Using ‘Finger Guns’ During Cops and Robbers Game | The Epoch Times (archive.vn), kids cannot even play their favorite games anymore.
According to the letter, on Sept. 1, 2023, two boys were playing “cops and robbers” during recess at Bagley Elementary School.
“During the course of their play, the children reportedly extended their index fingers and thumbs and said ‘bang-bang’ at each other,” the letter reads.
The child, identified as J.B., was suspended and accused of committing a Class III infraction. This is the district’s most serious infraction. According to the Jefferson County School District’s Student Parent Handbook, Class III infractions include possession of guns or explosives, sexual battery, battery of a school district employee, and robbery, among others.
Understandably, the child’s father was most upset.
“They labeled my six-year-old as a potentially violent and dangerous student because he was being a little boy and playing cops and robbers with another student (who was also suspended) and using his fingers like a gun,” Jarrod Belcher, the boy’s father, wrote in a statement released Friday, Sept. 8.
This was not an isolated incident. Several times a year I’ve encountered similar instances.
Transgenderism is far more destructive to children than the disruption of play time. A generation is being brainwashed into believing that gender is fluid and radical surgery is the cure for normal bouts of confusion. This craze has reached peak insanity, California Passes Bill That Would Require Parents to Affirm Kid’s Gender (dailysignal.com)
The California State Assembly passed a bill Friday that would require judges in child custody cases to consider whether a parent has affirmed a child’s “gender transition” by making “gender affirmation” an equal part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare” under state law.
Democratic lawmakers’ bill, AB 957, passed the Assembly by a vote of 57-16 along party lines.
Threatening the standard of “health, safety, and welfare” of a child under the California Family Code can carry penalties under the California Penal Code—prompting parents, activists, and lawmakers to speculate that AB 957 could result in parents being charged with child abuse or neglect for not participating in a child’s transgenderism.
Libraries are being crammed full of sexually explicit books, in the name indoctrinating children with the LGBTQ agenda. This is in sharp contrast to the way things have been done here in the United States where children have always been protected from sexually explicit material. Any attempts to remove this inappropriate material from libraries is met with cries of book banning, as captured in this article: You Can’t Slam ‘Book Bans’ And Turn A Blind Eye To The Content (thefederalist.com).
After a slight up tick in the number of Wuhan Flu cases, schools are bringing back mask mandates. There is no doubt that masks are harmful to children.
The latest evidence comes from Speech and Language UK, which found one out of every five children in the United Kingdom are behind in basic speech. This is reportedly the “highest number of children with speech and language challenges ever recorded” in the UK, Sky News noted.
These issues I have mentioned in this article are just the very tip of the iceberg. Those of us sane individuals far outnumber the radicals who are pushing all of this harmful crap on children. Only recently have we begun to standup to this insanity and our recent attempts have been successful. We need to do more.
