While I agree with Matt Walsh's thought provoking question, I also understand why the Democrat didn't respond. It appears that it was some kind of health committee that had asked Walsh to testify. As a point of order, you simply can't have people testifying asking the questions.

Understood and didn’t realize that…….still would like politicians to be forthcoming with answers instead of tap dancing. I know that is not realistic though.

I think this is where this goes? Apologies if this should be in a different thread.

Brave and powerful.

Thank you.
Serious question here. Our government is prohibited from establishing a national religion or favoring one religion over another. That's to avoid discriminating against other religions, and there's also a very practical reason: if you officially celebrate religion X's holidays and accommodate their traditions and requirements, you have to do the same for religion Y, and then Z, and then every other religion, great and small, and eventually that's all you're doing, celebrating 800 different religious holidays and accommodating a million different things. For those and other reasons, we try to keep church and state separate.

Why are we starting down a similar slippery slope on cultural or racial classes in school? If you have AP African American classes, how do you then tell people of Irish, Mexican, German, Jewish, English, Scandinavian, Chinese, Native American, Italian and other ancestries that they can't also have such classes? Those people are about as numerous as African Americans, their stories and contributions to America are about as significant, and their history is just as important to them. You end up with more such classes than you can possibly do, just like when you start trying to accommodate every religion in schools and public life. Nothing against AA history, its important, but how do you justify it and then not do the same for 50 other groups?

At first glance this is ridiculous……a 10 year old changing their name because they feel like it? I wonder if the parents will have to pay the legal fees. Where is the logic here?
There's an agenda. It's similar to the fight for teachers to be able to help (and often push) minor children transition genders without notifying the parents. It's an effort to remove decision making, values, rules, and control of children from their parents and give it to the state. They made it very difficult for parents to punish kids, let alone spank them. That removes much of a parent's ability to guide their child's behavior and values. Look at the things now being taught in schools. It's a direct attempt to brainwash and indoctrinate, while destroying the parents' ability to stop it.

Do you see anyone on IE defending the two pedophile/child pornographers? We DO see you and a few others defending the drag queens in schools.

Nope, I see someone trying to redirect/equate pedophiles to drag queens. Your points will carry weight if you can use the quote function to support your claim.

Drag queens and pedophile/child pornographers are not even in the same ballpark.

It's ridiculous that you would equate the two.

You don't have any point, other than saying that since none of the Conservatives posted your two pedophile stories, we had no right to condemn anything else, such as drag queens in classrooms. Utter nonsensical false equivalency, but hey, you do you. It still remains that the adults in the room don't want their children sexualized, whether by perverts in drag or in minister's robes. That you think one of those is OK speaks volumes.

Read Toronto's OP. He brought drag shows up and added them to the story.

Enough with the drag queen bullshit. Drag queens have been around forever. Shakespeare anyone? How about Milton Berle (for the oldsters?) Rudy Giuliani famously wore drag in a skit with Donald Trump. I can go on..,

Re-read my post - I mentioned Libs of Tiktok, did I mention a poster? No? Ok.

My point was that it's hilarious that a drag show will be posted here, but since libs of tiktok didn't post about those stories it tells you all you need to know about that account. It's a dog whistle account to stir up hate towards the LGBTQ community.

If the drag queen is sexualizing a kid then that's bad, but you are assuming their existence is purely sexual in nature. Which is not true.

......he's mocking the right's hysteria about drag shows and collective shrug about actual pedos in their midsts.

You equated defending the two groups/actions. Which is ridiculous.

You don't seem to know what the Libs of Tik Tok does. It reposts social media from the far left to point out some of the ridiculous and hypocritical nonsense so prevalent there. It rarely if ever posts news articles about events, even if they fit the agenda of LoTT. In other words, there was no reason to expect LoTT to have posted those articles.

And no, it's not trying to stir up hate towards LGBTQ. It's pointing out the nonsense from that community. Remember, it's just reposting their own words. Just because someone doesn't buy your BS, doesn't agree with you, or criticizes your position, doesn't mean they're hateful or stirring up hate. Accept the fact that often, you're just doing or saying something incredibly stupid and ridiculous and getting called on it.

Except that there's no collective shrug about actual pedos. He tried to conflate the two issues and I busted him for it.
