Trump answered a voter’s question about failing school systems by saying, “No transgender, no operations—you know, they take your kid—there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.”
Good lord. In a world where people will believe something like this, what hope is there really.
This is insanity
“Love and acceptance unlawful in Trump’s America,” better title.
How long do we have to wait for impeachment?
Dictators are never removed by peaceful means. You can’t vote them out. You can’t impeach them.
Have you noticed how nothing is being passed through the house or senate? He’s not getting impeached. It happened twice before with no results.
Yeah, I don’t know why I expect safety mechanisms to still work. It’s an adjustment getting used to the collapse of a democracy
Him croaking of old age is a more likely outcome.
We just keeping making it harder to be a teacher without paying them any more.
How can we organize funding for a national teachers’ strike?
Their unions already have strike funds, so send money to the unions, ie AFCSME NYSUT etc
What if we just [REDACTED]
The fuck is the first amendment?
hey look, it’s the reason squid (and others) left
Surely it is THIS that will help those grocery prices…
Supporting people is lawful.
Whether the laws he passes are legitimate, up for debate.
Executive orders only effect federal organizations. Public schools are all state officiated. I don’t know a single teacher that falls under his purview. Aka any teacher punished should win in court without issue unless the courts wish to completely illegitimate themselves.
completely illegitimate themselves.
Uh…I hate to break it to you, but that happened during Trump’s first term.
Ive seen one idea that its mostly focused on red states with so called nickname laws, and encouraging an expansion of said laws. Basically putting in federal resources to help enforce stupid state laws, I suspect that it would be ineffective at best though. Federal law enforcement per agency is probably roughly comparable to state agencies, just as an example the are avout 10,000 special FBI agents and about 38,000 employees total for comparison theres about 6,500 CHP officers cant find the total employees though. What im saying is that local and county will probably have greater enforcement capabilities per person on average meaning this is pointless at best.
Officer, arrest your neighbor and punish your cities kids because the orange man said everyone around you are bad people. How many of your neighbors have been shot by these migrants he speaks of, 0. How many of these teachers have taught your family, many.
Also local officials generally have to live in roughly the same area they are policing meaning even if they arent policing their neighbors they are still well within find out distance. Federal officials can be shuffled around, Jim the cop in Omaha Nebraska may legit get fired bombed if he pisses too many folks off.
Agreed. I can say it out loud. If a Federal official invades your homeland and threatens your people, it’s best to fill them with lead. Your neighbors are your neighbors. Those feds who betrayed you and your neighbors, are not.
I was born and raised in this country, my parents born here too. I haven’t met a neighbor who doesn’t deserve to be here. Fuck ICE, fuck this god damned Orange shit stain. I say shit stain, because shit itself has value. I can feed crops with it. The stain, worthless
His EOs aren’t laws. That takes Congress.
It’s a good thing we gave his party the majority in both houses of Congress, right?
Yeah but they don’t have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
What
The
Actual
Fuck?
By supporting they mean what? Calling the kid the name they want to be called by?
They don’t necessarily need to explicitly teach gender and racial studies, whatever. But don’t tell my kids’ teachers they can’t be courteous to the kids. The kids don’t care one bit when someone who was a girl comes back saying they are a boy, they are nonchalant as fuck about it.
You have lost this round, conservatives. The generation who will raise the next generation is already grown up with more reasonable teaching and parents who model tolerance, there are too many of us for you to be able to control us.
Go back to your lairs and work on some other evil plan.
By supporting they mean what? Calling the kid the name they want to be called by?
Yes.
(e) “Social transition” means the process of adopting a “gender identity” or “gender marker” that differs from a person’s sex. This process can include psychological or psychiatric counseling or treatment by a school counselor or other provider; modifying a person’s name (e.g., “Jane” to “James”) or pronouns (e.g., “him” to “her”); calling a child “nonbinary”; use of intimate facilities and accommodations such as bathrooms or locker rooms specifically designated for persons of the opposite sex; and participating in school athletic competitions or other extracurricular activities specifically designated for persons of the opposite sex. “Social transition” does not include chemical or surgical mutilation.
They dont wanna go after todays kids, they want the next generation. One decade of control, and they can raise Gen Beta in the bigoted pseudo50s hellacape they always dreamed of
They already made women second class citizens. Now they’re moving on to vulnerable minorities.
Sound like any other examples from history?
I’d say the alarms have started going off, but they’ve been going off for quite some time now. Deaf and dumb Americans as a whole can’t hear them though.
Let’s play the “replace the group with jews and see if they sound like a Nazi”
Trump tells DOJ to proescute teachers who unlawfully support jewish students.
Eyup
Fascism isn’t coming.
It’s already here.
“No transgender, no operations—you know, they take your kid—there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.”
Gotta wonder if he’s manufacturing reality or if he’s also caught up in a manufactured reality.
He knows his out is now “I saw it on TV”
It’s definitely both.
He’s a conman by nature, not by intelligence.
He inherently knows he has to manufacture lies to get what he wants, but he’s very clearly not an actually intelligent person and you can clearly tell sometimes that he’s 100% bought into some conspiracy theories, the same way any dumb person would. The guy’s brain is mostly fried, but the conman in his nature is still there. Will be until he’s 6 feet under.
I can’t believe there’s a single person who believes that children are being snuck into hospitals to just have a quick 20,000 dollar surgery that takes months to fully recover from during lunch and sneaking them home without anyone noticing
If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn’t have Trump as president.
Dipshit Donnie, your executive orders are not laws. They also only apply to federal government. As far as I know, we don’t have federal schools except for the armed forces academies.
They’ll probably end up making federal aid contingent on being assholes. Just like how Reagan coerced the states into 21 year old drinking age by withholding highway funds.
It works like this:
- Teach at a public school
- That school receives funding directly or indirectly from federal programs under the executive branch, including the Department of Education
- DEI support disqualifies institutions from receiving Federal funds
- Supporting DEI and trans rights while receiving Federal funds counts as defrauding the US government
- DOJ takes up the case
While EOs are not laws, they have the potential to do massive amounts of damage because most of the government runs on agencies under control of the Executive. And while universities and public schools are not federal, they receive shit tons of funds through grants, contracts, and subsidies from a wide array of federal agencies (see: academic panic at the NSF and NIH halting grant review and funding as a result of Trump’s recent orders).
Laws have actual words though. You can’t just make up a fraud case. You have to prove to judge and jury beyond a reasonable doubt the law was violated.
I know this. You know this. The judges know this. The jury knows this.
This does damage by subjecting the teachers to suspensions, trials, legal fees, etc. to the point that they take a plea bargain or resign. It makes the schools hyper-sensitive.
If the courts don’t throw these cases out immediately, then the tactic worked.
We’re deciding right now how much power Executive Orders have.
It had strict definitions for its use, now the president is trying to stretch that power further.
How many people comply without being physcially forced is what determines how much power he truely has.
How many people comply without being physcially forced is what determines how much power he truely has.
Bingo.
So far America appears to be overflowing with pussies who are willing to bend the knee to an anti-democratic felon rapist.
Our ancestors are weeping.
How many people comply without being physically forced is what determines how much power he truly has.
That’s why the reduction of protections for federal employees was so important to implementing this phase. A lot of people have already been fired or reassigned which makes it really difficult for them to “do” anything.
The ones they’re trying to get to resign can’t be fired due to unions and they know it
That is exactly what I was saying how Reagan coerced states to raise drinking age.
Right on. I was just outlining how they’d probably make it personal against the teachers.
