New York School Teaches 5-Year-Olds About Transsexualism

Remember the song?

“School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
‘Reading and ‘riting and ‘rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hick’ry stick”

The 1907 ditty is probably not allowed to be played in any American school, or even referred to historically, since the modern consensus is that hitting children with a stick is abusive. And we don’t abuse children in our public schools, do we? 

That’s one of the “fascinating” bits of double-think in modern life: the notion that only physical hitting is abusive, and that it’s the only kind of mistreatment society should take seriously. Warping the minds of children is just fine though. No, it’s more than fine. It’s loving and beautiful, and so very necessary. That’s what adherents of “gender ideology” tell us when they justify their strange desire to tell children that they are “born in the wrong body,” and to instruct public school children on the right way to enjoy masturbation. 

From experience, this writer knows that what schools are pushing on kids is so dire, and so bizarre, that many adults simply will not believe it, even when the evidence is put in front of them. They remember bells between class periods, orderly lines at the cafeteria, and history classes that taught history instead of hard-left ideology. 

But adults need to get an emotional grip and accept the truth: pornography and perversion is standard academic fare in American public schools. And parents who object are treated as if they were, somehow, the perverts and deviants for wanting to keep smut out of their children’s schools. 

Take the book “Genderqueer” by Maia Kobabe, who wants you to believe that she is a genderless “non-binary” being. The book, a graphic novel (in every sense of the term), depicts drawings of masturbation, fellatio, and more, between minors. Would you be shocked to know that it’s available in public school libraries around the country? Would you be shocked to know that most school boards defend the book even when they shut down parents for reading from it at meetings because the contents are too obscene?

It’s true. 

Trump may have won the election, but the left will not easily give up the mind control it has been allowed to have over our children for at least a decade. Take this kindergarten curriculum from New York State’s Hillside School. Again, this is a curriculum for kindergarteners. For five-year-olds. LibsofTikTok brings the news:

Do you want your 5-year-old learning about transsexualism so that he may one day discover his true womanly self? 

X/Twitter users don’t.

AOC Glitches Out: Keeping Men Out of Women’s Bathrooms is “Endangering Women”

It’s going to take some time for the liberal tears to dry up after the resounding victory of conservative politics on November 5. Not only did Donald Trump win the presidency, but Republicans kept the Senate, took the House, and the Supreme Court has a conservative majority. 

As the kids say (are they still saying this?), the situation has left Democrats with “big feels.” Not used to being told no, they’re throwing tantrums on MSNBC where the hosts can’t seem to control their emotions long enough to deliver a newscast without twitching. Some of the staff there are telling themselves fibs to get through it, like Chris Hayes. Hayes is very unhappy that the majority of Americans went for MAGA, so he’s written an article about how reality never happened. 

Yes, Chris, voters do want a MAGA makeover, and they’re going to get one. “Narrow win?” What’s next-accusations that Republicans have small genitalia? 

That MAGA makeover is starting up in the Capitol Building itself. The most recent dustup is over men using women’s bathrooms. Enter “Sarah” (formerly Tim) McBride, an oily gay man who put on a dress and calls himself a woman. McBride was just elected to the House of Representatives from Delaware, leading to a gush of articles about the “first transgender representative!” With any luck, we’ll soon be hearing about the last of that. 

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace isn’t having any of it. As any person of common sense would have said a mere 10 years ago, Mace stated that men have no place in women’s bathrooms, and she expects Congress to make sure that transvestites like McBride go to the men’s room where they belong. They are, after all, men. 

Liberal media are calling Mace’s statement a “cynical transphobic attack,” of course. 

Too bad. The lunatic fringe lost this one. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, after initially wimping out when questioned about whether he’d keep men out of the ladies’ room, announced that bathrooms in the Capitol are to be sorted by biological sex. You know, like always was until the West lost its everloving mind in the 20-teens and decided that sex was something you could put on like lipstick. 

Our Lady of Histrionics, NY Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, got out her big doe eyes and went full hysterical. She called Mace dangerous, and said this:

“They’re endangering women. They’re endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It’s gross.”

That’s right. Republicans are “endangering women” by protecting them from men in their bathrooms. Oh also, AOC? There is only one kind of girl—the female kind. And Tim McBride is not female. 

She also went on to complain that “They’re doing this so that Nancy Mace can make a buck and send a text and fundraise off an email. They’re not doing this to protect people,” as if this hasn’t been a stance taken by most Republicans since the trans issue became an issue.

AOC also claimed that Republicans want a world where every woman’s genitals are inspected upon entering the bathroom, despite this never having happened anywhere that trans bathroom “bans” exist.

Let’s see what X users had to say.

Democrats Rush to Self-Sterilize After Trump’s Election (Yes, Really)

It seems clear that leftists really are afraid of children, while at the same time acting like kids who got plonked into grown-up bodies. The histrionic wailing of leftist women nationwide about the alleged danger of Donald Trump to women’s “reproductive rights” has carried through post-election. Of course, “reproductive rights” anymore simply means “I want an abortion any time, any place, and I take zero responsibility for my sexual choices that might get me pregnant in the first place.”

Prominent screecher Mike Brezinski, co-host along with her husband Joe Scarborough of the MSNBC show “Morning Joe,” has gone farther than most. She straight up said that Donald Trump is “killing us,” and “killing women.” How these murders are taking place is not specified. And why the two of them then met with Trump after those comments remains a mystery – it’s almost as if they don’t believe their own hysterical rhetoric.

The Democrats blanketed the airwaves (OK, it’s 2024: “the internet”) with ham-handed political ads depicting a real-life Handmaid’s Tale if Trump were to be elected. One of the funniest was this ad showing two young women trying to “make it to the state line” to get out of their oppressive state for an abortion. A cop with an accent straight out of the 1970s movie Deliverance ends up cuffing the female driver and bending her over the hood of the car (yes, that implication seems to have been deliberate). Movie-psychopath look-alike Gavin Newsom, governor of California, still features the ad on his TikTok feed. 

Well, Trump has been elected, and the fever has not broken. According to CBS, the company that makes the “Plan B” abortion pill said sales went up 1,000 percent right after Trump’s election. Abortion and trans-hormones-to-harm-your-kids dealer Planned Parenthood is saying their requests for the implantation of intra-uterine devices (IUD), a form of contraception, are up almost 800 percent since November 5. 

It’s not just women. According to PP, men are asking for vasectomies in droves, with requests up 1,200 percent.

It really does appear that, to young liberals, the prospect of having children frightens them even more than “climate change,” or whatever “genocide” they fantasize is going on in Gaza. When and how did we become a society for whom the prospect of having kids is seen as a punishment and an infringement on a happy life? 

Let’s see what X/Twitter has to say about it. 

The reaction has not been kind. 

Election

Libs Eat Each Other Alive on Piers Morgan Cat Fight

How much faith do you put in political polling? How closely do the results of important political elections match the predictions put out by pollsters and pundits? That’s what’s on a lot of voters’ minds as, once again, Donald Trump beat expectations and predictions, winning the presidency by a wider margin than polls predicted. 

Al Jazeera notes that it appears that pollsters undercounted and under-weighted Trump support just as they seemed to have done in the 2016 presidential election. “Yet eventually, Trump cruised to a comfortable victory, defying most polls,” wrote Shola Lawal. One wonders if the personal liberal  bias found in academia is also present among professional pollsters. 

That leftist tilt in media is beyond dispute. And in the more leftist outlets such as National Public Radio, the bias is so stark as to be laughable. At the cost of his job, NPR veteran editor Uri Berliner found that there was not a single registered Republican of the 87 reporters and editors in NPR’s D.C. offices. 

Election prognosticator Allan Lichtman, a historian, got a lot of media attention this presidential cycle as he usually does. Lichtman, a liberal, has a system for predicting the results of elections based on what he calls 13 “keys” to the White House. While he has correctly predicted nine of the last 10 presidential elections, his record took a hit in 2024 when he confidently predicted a Kamala Harris victory.

Leftist podcaster Cenk Uygur of the show The Young Turks castigated Lichtman during an appearance both of them made on Piers Morgan’s show “Uncensored.” During the heated exchange, Uygur told Lichtman his “keys were absurd,” and that he got it all wrong. Lichtmann reacted immediately, yelling that he was “not wrong!” and that he, Lichttman, had more support than Uygur from online fans. 

From there, it devolved into a teen-girl cat fight, complete with pointing fingers and huffing and puffing. Collin Rugg has some fun with it on X/Twitter:

So did Rugg’s followers:

Yes, yes, Liberacrat, I do enjoy it.

Roommate of Laken Riley’s Accused Killer Says Government Paid for Alleged Killer’s Plane Fare to Georgia

The political and cultural atmosphere in the United States—what’s considered “normal”—has changed so drastically, so quickly, that it is often surreal to write news articles about current events. A writer asks himself, “Can this really be the case?” While Donald Trump’s presidential victory (along with Republicans keeping the Senate and taking the House) has turned a page, the story Americans have been living under for years is going to take years to be rewritten.

Just 10 years ago, any normal, sane adult would have reacted with horror and outrage if anyone suggested chemically and permanently sterilizing children, or cutting off the breasts of teenage girls. And then, somehow, in just five years, it became forbidden to express horror at the mutilation of children. All of a sudden, overnight, this Mengele-level nightmare became called “gender affirming care.” All of a sudden, overnight, parents could have their children taken away by the state for trying to protect their children from this abuse. 

We can call it a moral reversal, a fever dream, an inversion of morality—no words seem strong enough to convey the bizarre depravity that has somehow become the real world we live in. 

It’s with that in mind that we bring you sickening news about another shibboleth we’re not supposed to cross: illegal aliens in the U.S. who rape and murder us and our children. You probably know of the killing of 22-year-old Georgia college student Laken Riley. She went for a jog on February 22, 2024, and never came home. Her body was later found. She had been raped and bludgeoned over the head with a rock such that her face was unrecognizable. 

Illegal alien José Ibarra is on trial right now for her rape and murder. The Venezuelan man first jumped the border into the U.S. in 2022. But like most criminal aliens who broke into the country under the Biden administration, Ibarra was released by Border Patrol to just go free. So he went to New York City.

And then he went to Georgia, setting the stage for Laken Riley’s killing. 

All of this is outrageous enough on its own, but unbelievably, it gets worse. Well-known X (Twitter) account LibsofTikTok brings us this:

Ibarra’s roommate, also an illegal alien, told the Georgia court trying José Ibarra that the two of them made their way to Georgia on the taxpayer’s dime. She, the roommate,  claims she and Ibarra just walked over to the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan (now a flophouse for hundreds of illegal aliens mooching off your tax dollars) and asked for a plane ticket to Georgia, and they got it. 

Here we are in 2024. It’s now “normal” for foreign nationals to break into the country and be immediately released by “Border Patrol.” Then, the scofflaws get to live off welfare benefits we pay for. Then, the scofflaws get taxpayer-funded moving costs to fly anywhere in the country they please. And now, one of them is on trial (again, at our expense) for raping and murdering an American woman.

This writer has run out of words. Let’s see what social media users have to say about it.

Whoopi Goldberg Promises to Withhold Relations; American Men Rejoice

Remember the dock workers’ strike from earlier this year? The International Longshoreman’s Association (the union of dock workers) demanded a huge increase in wages along with other benefits, and they got most of what they wanted pretty quickly. In the end, the union ended up with a 62 percent pay raise over the next several years. 

Why did it work? Because the east coast and gulf ports involved in the strike handled about half the goods imported into the U.S. The strike threatened to slow down business to a crawl and to put prices through the roof in the middle of some of the worst inflation in U.S. history. 

It worked because the dock workers provided something Americans valued: abundant goods at affordable prices. No person in the United States would have been unaffected by a long-term strike. 

In plain terms, strikes work when they withhold something that other people want. 

Given that, one wonders what comedian and co-host of ABC’s The View, Whoopi Goldberg, may be thinking. See, she’s going on a sex strike. Why? On account of a vulgar comment by Jew-hating weirdo Nick Fuentes.

Fuentes stirred up female anger during his election-night livestream by mocking the feminist pro-abortion slogan, “My body, my choice.” Fuentes turned it around, stating, “Your body, my choice.” It’s understandable that women would find this objectionable, but feminists have a difficult time keeping things in perspective. Fuentes cannot, of course, control anyone’s body but his own, and the comment was clearly trolling to get a rise out of them.

But whenever there’s an opportunity for hysterical shrieking, feminists take it and run for the end zone. It wasn’t just online screeching; one pissed-off woman insanely showed up at Fuentes’ door and rang the bell only to be pepper-sprayed.

What does any of this have to do with Whoopi Goldberg?

It was Fuentes’ crass remark that prompted her announcement of support for a “sex strike.” Goldberg said, “If we don’t let you, you don’t get any.”

Who is she talking to? Who, specifically, will now be prevented from “getting” “any?” So far as is ascertainable, Goldberg does not normally provide marital relations to the general public. It is unclear why she believes she is withholding something that no one has been asking for.

Making matters even more bizarre is the fact that Goldberg is not capable of getting pregnant.

Do admit:

Wokespy did not find any evidence online of dispirited men who might be moved by Goldberg’s strike, but we did find these reactions:

Canadian Trans Activists Want to Scuttle Name-Change Law That Outs Criminals

Consider the alias. Writers throughout history have used aliases that we call “pen names.” Stephen King wrote books under the name “Richard Bachman.” Joanne Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has launched a successful string of novels for adults under the name Robert Galbraith. 

On the everyday level, normal people frequently use pseudonyms to post their thoughts online. Some just want privacy, some want to avoid being publicly chastised for thinking politically incorrect things. 

But what of the other reasons to use an assumed name? What other category of people do we think of when we imagine someone going through life under a series of different names? Criminals, naturally. If you want to avoid detection for your crimes, changing your name is one way to throw a roadblock between you and the cops pursuing you. In the modern digital age, it’s harder to change your identity and stay hidden, of course. But a disguise does not have to be perfect. Like a lock on a door, it only needs to slow down your pursuers enough to give you time to escape. 

In all these cases  the motivation to use a pseudonym is the need or desire to hide something. And few classes of people want to hide something more than the so-called “transgendered.” Oh, sure, they claim that it’s “harmful” to their mental health to be called by their “dead name” (the name they were given at birth that corresponds to their actual sex), but this is a feint. If it does indeed “hurt” to hear your real name, that’s a personal problem, not a responsibility of others in society. 

Why, then, are transgender activists in Canada demanding that the province of British Columbia reverse a law that bans dangerous criminals from changing their name? Independent outlet Reduxx:

Social justice legal group West Coast LEAF issued a press release, signed by numerous trans activist groups and organizations, demanding the change on November 7. In their letter, the groups claim that the province’s legislation ‘harms those most in need of legal name changes, including transgender people, Indigenous people, and survivors of gender-based violence.’

The activists claim, contrary to reality, that “transgender” people are at constant risk of being murdered for “being trans.” But in all of 2023, only 35 “trans” people were murdered  in the U.S. by the official count, and mostly because they were working as prostitutes and/or associating with a criminal element. Thirty-five homicides annually is so small as to be a lower rate of homicide than the general population – but don’t expect to hear that from a trans activist anytime soon.

Here are the other possible motivations the activists don’t want you to contemplate:

  • Escaping the criminal record earned under the correctly sexed birth name
  • Using a different name so that a potential employer who screens candidates against the sex offender registry cannot detect a sex offender

It should be very easy to see why a person with nefarious motivations, say, a pedophile who wants a job as a preschool teacher, would want to claim it’s a human rights violation to be prevented from changing his name. 

The Reduxx article above cites the horrific case of Alan Schoenborn in BC that led to the law banning violent criminals from changing their names. Schoenborn killed his three young children in 2008, and then campaigned to be allowed to keep his new legal pseudonym secret from the public. 

Will British Columbia cave to these demands and put the public in danger once again by scuttling the law? It’s impossible to say, but the public is getting fed up to the back teeth with these demands from mentally unstable perverts, and the social media response shows it. Here’s a sampling. 

This is hardly the first story of this genre. As we reported earlier this year at Wokespy, a Tennessee bill to allow for the death penalty for child rapists was also excoriated by the LGBTQ+ “community.”

This kind of depraved thinking isn’t just relegated to the left’s alphabet faction either. Just last September, most Democrats in the House voted against a bill to deport illegal aliens who rape women, and to refuse any convicted sex offenders into the country. 

It should serve as just the latest reminder to never give the left the benefit of the doubt.

They really just are depraved.

CNN to Fire Hundreds: Which On-Air Talent Will Get Axed?

Who’s next out the door at CNN? No one knows, but word on the street is that the beleaguered cable network will be slashing hundreds of jobs, and some of those might be faces familiar to viewers. 

According to the Daily Mail, the original cable news network—it was founded by Ted Turner and went on the air in 1980—is hemorrhaging money and that means costs need to be cut. Anchor Chris Wallace (son of the late 60 Minutes journalist Mike Wallace) has already left the network, believing he’ll find success in the podcast world (likely too late for you, Chris). 

‘In the next few months, I’m told, CNN will implement another round of layoffs that will impact hundreds of employees across the organization,’ reporter Dylan Byers wrote Friday, referencing CNN’s recent 100-person layoff seen over the summer.   

The man behind it, they said, is none other than new CEO Mark Thompson – the former New York Times boss brought in to overhaul the network under its Warner Bros. Discovery parent. The old BBC boss filled the position left by then-languishing leader Chris Licht this past August, and since then, ratings have fallen more than 20 percent.

While everything at this point is coming from unnamed sources, the gossip is that even big names like Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer were not given raises recently. Will their highest-paid talent survive the layoffs? Anderson Cooper (scion of the Vanderbilt family) makes $20 million, and Kaitlan Collins $3 million. 

It looks like mainstream/legacy media may be finally reaching its final stage of life. From the days when the three on-air networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC, to the explosion of cable news and entertainment channels in the 80s, to today’s streaming “television” beamed to phones and computers, the mainstream institutions have seemed untouchable. 

But they’re not solidly positioned. CNN, for example, lost half its viewers during the 2024 election cycle compared to 2020. On election night itself, the network brought in only 3.3 million viewers, which is almost half as much as they had during the 2020 presidential race. 

Why are the media old guard having such a hard time? Because they lie constantly and no one trusts anything they say. Filled with hard-left liberals who no longer even pretend to care about objectivity, every old-school outlet worked overtime to try to scupper another Trump election, but it didn’t work. 

It’s also unclear whether outfits like CNN will be able to get a firm footing in the digital and podcast worlds. So many erstwhile viewers want nothing to do with the major news brands that their parents trusted and had on the TV set while they were growing up. 

A sampling of social media reaction to the news:

Ouch, Kaitlan!

Trump Goes After “Marxist Maniacs” Who Accredit Colleges

We modern Westerners have a famously short memory whose span has become even smaller since the internet became a part of most people’s daily lives about 30 years ago. That probably surprised a few people reading (there’s that short memory). Yes, indeed, the internet is blink-of-an-eye-recent. 

We forget news stories in about a day, irrespective of how momentous an event may be. Leftist media hatred for Donald Trump and for half the country’s citizenry accounts for most of this, but the shortened attention and memory span somehow managed to make an assassination attempt on live television seem like something that “maybe happened?” Did you notice that? How a former president was shot on live TV and by the next week it was like it never happened? 

Our cultural memory problem doesn’t just lead to us forgetting consequential events. We also very quickly adapt to new creations of government and policy with precious little pushback, then we promptly forget that these new government agencies have not existed since Moses ascended Mt. Sinai to receive the stone tablets. 

So it is with the U.S. Department of Education. Many of you reading this were alive before it was created; that means many of you were in school and getting an education long before anyone believed the federal government had to be involved in every classroom across the country. In only 100 years, we went from a 15-year-old Laura Ingalls teaching farm boys the three R’s (and doing it well) to a nation that requires teachers to have college degrees (more on that below). 

It was President Jimmy Carter who created the Department of Education in 1979, and we can all see the depths to which “education” has plummeted for U.S. students. The DOE seems unconcerned with the extraordinary rate of illiteracy and innumeracy among American students, but very concerned with “helping” confused and abused children realize that they were born into the wrong sex’s body. 

Why do we have this department? Does it do a better job than states and towns did before 1979? President-elect Donald Trump doesn’t think so, and he’s vowed to tear down the DOE on several occasions. Whether he will get this far remains to be seen, and the opposition from the credentialed class (liberals) will be histrionic and fierce. 

But Trump is already making a start on reforming education by taking aim at the obviously broken college accreditation system. In a new video, Trump laid out his plan to target the left’s influence in higher education.

Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. indoctrination system (college) by seizing funds from schools that refuse to comply with his accreditation system.

  1. “Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system.”
  2. “Fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics.”
  3. “We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again.” “These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, and eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs.”
  4. “Remove all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated at low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money’s worth.”
  5. “Direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination.”
  6. “Schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.”
  7. “The seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies.”

Here’s a sampling of online reaction to Trump’s promise to rout “Marxist maniacs and lunatics” who prop up colleges that indoctrinate young people. 

But there’s always one, isn’t there? 

Democrats, Media

CNN’s Scott Jennings Ruffles Feathers in Televised Chicken Coop

You could be forgiven for thinking that you’re hearing audio recorded from inside a chicken coop.

Former George W. Bush advisor Scott Jennings, now a contributor to CNN, has an uncanny ability to ruffle feathers and elicit frustrated clucking from his co-panelists by simply stating the plain truth in a calm voice. 

Jennings remarked that it only made sense for Donald Trump to pick cabinet members and staff who had the ability to carry out his policy objectives. This was just too much for the liberals (every other person at the table). In the now-typical teenage-girl fashion that allegedly grown-up professional women use to communicate to the public, the Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell squeaked out, “He literally said he was going to exact vengeance!”

They just don’t get that Democrats are not the only people who are allowed to hold political power. Jennings responded with, “You still don’t understand how you lost.” Rampell? She did the head-swivel and snarked, “Don’t say ‘me’. I’m not a Democrat. I’m a journalist.” 

No, Miss Rampell, you are not a journalist. You are a teenage girl in an adult woman’s body playing journalist in a costume at the Democrat Community Playhouse known as The Washington Post. To be fair, it’s only a few days since the election, and the Democrats have not completed the grieving process yet. But the Catherine Rampells of the world are going to soon learn that girl-boss sassery is over. Indignant clapbacks are not going to keep the left in business much longer. 

Maybe Rampell thinks we don’t remember, but she was one of the WaPo employees who signed a letter condemning the paper for not endorsing Harris. She sure seems like a Democrat to me.

The other women on the panel couldn’t take it either. “Scott! Scott!” was a common verbal ejaculation. Host Abby Phillips jumped in to say, “He [Trump] did run on vengeance.”

One suspects Democrats and media will soon learn another lesson: “consequences” is not a synonym for “vengeance.” Right now, they’re still in shock. The news has had a liberal tilt for decades, but it has been so out of control for the past ten years that most leftists now believe they are entitled to do anything they want—anything at all—with no pushback. They treat any criticism of their actions, or any refusal to go along with them, as an act of abuse against them. 

Let’s see how X/Twitter users reacted to the clip.
