On Wednesday, an Ohio judge ordered a man to get the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of his probation. Where has our freedom gone?
The chairman of the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Devin Hogan, wrote a column praising the rioters who burned down the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct during the collapse of law and order following the death of George Floyd last year. Where has our freedom gone?
The National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the U.S., is suing a mother in Rhode Island because she has asked to see the kindergarten curriculum for this fall in order to be sure that Critical Race Theory or multiple genders will not be taught to her daughter. The school administration had repeatedly refused her request for the curriculum, telling her she did not have the right to see it. Where has our freedom gone?
Parental rights are being stripped across the country, and one area where that’s becoming increasingly—and alarmingly—common is on the topic of gender dysphoria and transitioning. Many school districts are actively keeping parents in the dark about how they’re assisting kids in this regard. Texas Department of Family Protective Services had this to say about transitioning: “Genital mutilation of a child through reassignment surgery is child abuse,” Commissioner Masters’ letter says. “This surgical procedure physically alters a child’s genitalia for non-medical purposes potentially inflicting irreversible harm to children’s bodies.” Yet parents have no say in this? Where has our freedom gone?
Illinois school children, like children in most other Democrat-controlled states, will be required to wear masks in school again this year, even though the Delta Variant is less lethal than the original COVID; even though multiple studies around the world and in the U.S. have shown that masks are ineffective in stopping the spread of COVID; even though young children rarely contract the disease at all; and even though both UNICEF and the WHO advise against masks for children 5 or younger and suggest masking 6 – 11 year-olds only if they live in an area of a surge in cases or have underlying health problems. But Gov. Pritzker has spoken. Where has our freedom gone?
The American Medical Association wants to have the sex of a baby removed from his/her birth certificate because this group of “woke” doctors have decided that gender is “a social construct” despite the XX and XY chromosome stuff they should have learned in medical school! Now the most official document attesting that we are Americans will no longer be able to identify our gender? Where has our freedom gone?
In some schools, children as young as kindergarten will be taught that there are multiple genders and that just because they have the body of a little boy or the body of a little girl doesn’t mean they can’t change to the other at any time. Older children are taught various sexual positions and how to masturbate. Are parents consulted? Of course not! Where has our freedom gone?
Some schools teach Critical Race Theory in which they divide children according to the color of their skin and often according to how much money their parents make. The white children are told they were born oppressors of people of color and are therefore racist, hating the children who have darker skins (even though those very children may be their best friends). They, and those even of color whose parents are financially comfortable, are shamed as oppressing those whose parents make less. The children of color are told they were born victims, and they are told they have no chance to be successful in life because the system is stacked against them. There is no better way to have children fail than to tell them over and over that they cannot succeed! Where has our freedom gone?
Some schools are also teaching curriculum derived from the 1619 Project, an historically inaccurate look at the founding of the United States and the importance of slavery. Students are taught that our country began in 1619 with the sale of a few African slaves to some American colonists rather than in 1776 when we declared independence from Great Britain or 1778 when France became the first country to recognize us officially as an independent nation. They also contend that the American Revolution was carried out in order to preserve slavery which the British wanted to stop. But when the legislature in one colony voted to declare their colony slave-free, it was the British governor who overrode their vote and maintained slavery. Furthermore, Great Britain, who had slaves in all her colonies, gained tremendously from the slave labor which provided cheaper goods for them to buy from the colonists. And it was not until 1833 that Great Britain abolished slavery in most of its colonies, years after we had fought two wars with them in order to gain our sovereignty as a free nation. Yet these lies are being taught to our children! Where has our freedom gone?
Vaccine mandates and vaccine passports are still being talked about. Some businesses are demanding that their employees be vaccinated and show proof of vaccination in order to keep their jobs. The mandate has also been issued for all members of the military. In some cities and states, without proof of vaccination you can’t eat or work in a restaurant, buy or work in a store, use or work in a gym, nightclub, casino or hotel. Without them, you cannot board a train, bus, or airplane. Only days ago, a former Department of Homeland Security official said the unvaccinated should be on the federal no-fly list. Where has our freedom gone? (Republicans have asked for papers proving that immigrants have obtained the right to enter this country, but Democrats call those paper “racism.” When Republicans ask for identification “papers” for everyone who votes in a federal election, again Democrats cry “Racist!” But the papers they want, even if they violate our personal freedom, are good!) Where has our freedom gone.
We have little news, only propaganda from the mainstream media that misquotes, lies, and reports unsubstantiated stories that later some quietly retract. Where has our freedom gone?
Articles, posts, and tweets by conservatives, patriots and specifically the unvaccinated are removed from social media and their writers banned. Conservatives are silenced. Our facts are labeled “misleading” even though they are the truth. Only the government’s truth is true. Where has our freedom gone?
Classic novels like Gone With the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and authors like Dr. Seuss have been removed from libraries as being racist. Where has our freedom gone.
Wednesday night, when the school board in Washington, DC, suburb Loudoun County, Virginia, voted to approve transgender rules and one board member pointed out that anti-bullying rules are already in place, he was silenced by being called a bigot. Part of the “rules” read: “Examples of practices that may be based on gender, and which should be eliminated, include grouping students for class activities, gender-based homecoming or prom courts, limitations on who can attend as ‘couples’ at school dances, and gender-based events such as father-daughter dances.” Where has our freedom gone?
