I can't stand UT athletics of any kind, but was watching the game because I work with someone very close to the womens basketball program. About halfway through the 1st quarter, one of the announcers began a rant about some legislation affecting LGBTQIA individuals and would now begin a moment of silence during the game and the second announcer said she supported her stance and would join her silence so the both quit talking while the game went on. No matter what their views they have no reason to bring political views into a basketball game announcement.
Oh so it's the No Child Groomers in Grade School bill that they don't like. Not surprised by anyone in the media these days.
Child Groomer? Don't go there. So, is it "child grooming" for a teacher to refer to the president and his wife? This bill makes it illegal for a teacher to tell discuss the transportation secretary for example and refer to his husband. Also would make it illegal to say that he was the first openly gay cabinet member. You don't realize just how important it is for kids to hear that two men or women being married to each other is OK. Or to hear about leaders who happen to be LGBTQ. It leads to greater acceptance and tolerance later in life and for those who realize they are LGBTQ it provides comfort that they aren't abnormal. Do you know how many kids kill themselves because they are made to believe something is wrong with them simply for being who they are? I grew up thinking something was wrong with me and that I needed to hide who I was. It affected my confidence and my social skills in school and still is ingrained in my head at some level to this day. It sure is easy to sit and pass judgement when you've never experienced any of the negative affects of society making you feel ostracized.
Yeah, the reality is that progressives can't help themselves in the classroom. They groom and direct children into sexual confusion. No need for little kids to be focused on sexuality. Sorry you had it rough, doesn't mean that we need to excuse what's been happening to kids in the classroom by the progressive LGBTQ mafia, where many have made it their mission to indoctrinate kids at the earliest of ages. So many more kids will be confused because they've been encouraged to be gay or trans or whatever by "well intentioned" progressives who have been programmed to not just accept sexual differences, but to look for it and encourage it. It's wrong, and it's messing with kids' minds that will have long lasting effects due to the confusion brought on to them by well meaning educators.
