Kirk Cameron: Protecting Our Kids Requires ‘Not Allowing Cross-Dressing Men to Tell Our Children Stories’

Actor Kirk Cameron, author of the children’s book As You Grow, said on Thursday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow that creating a moral future for America’s children requires protecting them from “cross-dressing men” pushing left-wing sexual ideologies marketed as “drag queen story hour.”

Cameron remarked, “If we want to see the future look like the kind of place we grew up in, or our grandparents grew up in, we need to start investing and planting seeds today that will grow into these future trees of liberty and blessing for our kids.”

“One of the ways we do that is by being the ones who tell them these stories, not allowing cross-dressing men to tell our children stories that lead our kids in a different direction,” he added.

Last week, Cameron hosted a children’s book reading in Fayetteville, Arkansas. One of the featured books, Elephants Are Not Birds, relays a naturalistic and essentialist understanding of sexual dimorphism.

The book’s promotional description reads:

BRAVE Books and Ashley St. Clair have partnered together to tackle the intense topic of gender in our book Elephants Are Not Birds, which follows the story of an Elephant named Kevin. Most can see that there is a distinct difference between an elephant and a bird but in this story, we’ll see that even those lines are blurred when the lies of Culture the Vulture are accepted as truth.

Culture the Vulture convinces Kevin that his ability to sing is one that only birds have, so logically this means that he is a bird. The lies and logic from Culture the Vulture parallel what our culture is attempting to feed the youth of today. The story Elephants Are Not Birds arrives at a similar conclusion society will arrive at when it comes to the idea of gender identity, boys are not girls and elephants are not birds.

The book reading was attended in protest by “trans activists, who were men dressed in drag.”

Cameron described his recent work as an author and organizer of book readings for children as a moral endeavor in opposition to the wickedness of “left woke ideology.”

“There’s a lot at stake,” he said, “and I want to do everything I can in the time I’ve been given to uproot as much evil that I’m able to.”

He cautioned concerned Americans against apathy.

“Men love to build worlds, and you can either build good ones, or you can build bad ones,” he remarked. “If you stay out of the game, I think you get depressed. I think that we’re made to serve people, and sitting on the couch just watching Fox News — or whatever it is — crying in your Chick-fil-A soup, waiting for somebody else to rescue you is not a good plan.”

The current cultural malaise, Cameron concluded, is part of a divine plan.

He stated, “I believe that this cultural setback that we’ve been experiencing is really a divine setup for a national comeback led by the family of faith.”

“Come to these events,” Cameron urged. “Start your own Brave Story Hour. Do something. Go to a board meeting. Read their stories to your children. Pray. Get involved, because the good guys win, the bad guys lose, every time.”

He concluded, “You’ve just got to stick around long enough to see the end of the story, and God is still writing our story here in America.”.

U.S. Marine Corps Goes Woke, Celebrates ‘Pride Month’ with Rainbow Bullets

U.S. Marine Corps Goes Woke, Celebrates ‘Pride Month’ with Rainbow Bullets

The U.S. Marine Corps went full woke on Wednesday, marking the first day of “Pride Month” with a celebratory image featuring rainbow bullets.

“Throughout June, the USMC [U.S. Marine Corps] takes #Pride in recognizing and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ service members,” the U.S. Marine Corps said in a statement posted to social media.

“We remain committed to fostering an environment free from discrimination, and defend the values of treating all equally, with dignity and respect,” it added, using the hashtags #PrideMonth and #USMC. The statement is accompanied by an image of a Marine helmet adorned with six bullets, each a different color, comprising a rainbow:

Commenters were woefully unamused by the pandering attempt.

“Maybe focus on what’s actually important to the nation’s defense. China and Russia are bolstering up their ranks with masculinity understanding it’s necessity, while we seem to be celebrating sexual choices and gender changes in our military,” one user remarked as another said, “This makes me sad.”

“Is this satire?” another asked.

“I’ve seen it all now,” another exclaimed as one added, “Focus on building warriors and less about social bullshit.”

The tweet came on the first day of “Pride Month,” which spurred mass pandering from the Biden administration, corporate media, and various organizations.

“This month, we honor the resilience of LGBTQI+ people, who are fighting to live authentically and freely,” Joe Biden said in a May 31 proclamation on “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month.”

“We reaffirm our belief that LGBTQI+ rights are human rights. And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality to LGBTQI+ families so that everyone can realize the full promise of America,” he added. Notably, Biden failed to match the super woke terminology embraced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who once used “2SLGBTQQIA+ people.” That acronym includes two-spirit, questioning, and asexual, all of which were excluded by Biden.

Biden’s Department of State followed suit, posting celebratory pride month posts on social media. One of the images posted by the Department of State features a redesign of the Pride Flag, dubbed the “Progress Pride” flag:

ACLU Files Motion Denying Existence of Women

 

ACLU Files Motion Denying Existence of Women

The War on Women is real.

Daniel Greenfield


Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

The ACLU claims that there’s a War on Women… and it’s fighting it.

"We're Not Stupid: Outrageous Quotes from the War on Women," the ACLU had headlined a post about its pro-abortion activism in 2013.

A decade later the ACLU is arguing in court that women don't exist.

Not only does the ACLU’s current abortion coverage eliminate any mention of women, but in response to a civil rights lawsuit by women, it actually filed a motion arguing they don’t exist.

Last year, the Women’s Liberation Front, one of the few remaining feminist groups that have rejected transgender intersectionality’s displacement of women, filed a lawsuit against California’s prison system over housing men who claim to identify as female together with women.

The feminist groups filing the lawsuit noted that, "of the incarcerated men seeking to transfer to women’s prison 33.8% — FULLY ONE THIRD — are registered sex offenders."

Krystal Gonzalez, one of four women being represented in the lawsuit, reported being sexually assaulted by a man who claimed to be “transgender” in prison. The California penal system however insisted that her male attacker was actually a “transgender woman with a penis.”

The ACLU, along with Lambda Legal and the Transgender Law Center, filed a bizarre motion in response denying that, “‘men as a class’ are defined and differentiated from ‘women as a class’ by their ‘anatomy, genitalia, physical characteristics, and physiology.’”

Are there physiological differences between men and women? Science says there are while the ACLU denies it in what may be one of the most surreal motions ever submitted to a court.

Denying sexual dimorphism is up there with a motion claiming that the earth is flat.

But the ACLU motion went on “to deny the allegation that ‘human beings’ are ‘sexually dimorphic, divided into males and females each with reproductive systems, hormones, and chromosomes that result in significant differences between men[] and women[.]’”

Biology 101 is now an “allegation” to be denied in court.

Maybe the ACLU’s next motion will deny the “allegation” that the earth revolves around the sun.

The civil rights lawsuit the ACLU is fighting uses textbook terminology. Literally. The language of a basic biology textbook is being denied by a former civil rights group fighting against a civil rights suit by a sexual assault victim. The ACLU now hates science, women, and civil rights.

Not to mention free speech.

Within a decade the ACLU has gone from falsely accusing Republicans of a “War on Women” to waging an actual war on women in court. The ACLU has also switched from claiming that Republicans were tolerating sexual assaults on women to fighting women in court so that male sex offenders can continue to sexually assault them. That’s what a War on Women looks like.

It’s hard to know whether this is worse than the ACLU also throwing out freedom of speech.

Even while the ACLU files motions denying the existence of women in court, it still maintains the ACLU Women's Rights Project that was founded by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The ACLU denies that women are a class when filing a motion against a lawsuit by a woman who was sexually assaulted, and then argues that they are a class in employment law.

Women are apparently still a class when they’re being paid less than men, but they’re not a class when a man wearing a dress wants to sexually assault them in the prison system.

The ACLU Women's Rights Project claims that it “addresses the harms to women and girls caught up in the criminal and juvenile justice systems” even while its California chapters are fighting women who have been caught up in the criminal justice systems and suffered harm.

Even while the ACLU fundraises off defending women, it denies they exist. Its legal advocacy has begun to shift away from mentioning pregnant women to referring to “pregnant people”.

The ACLU promises to advocate for women while erasing them in court.

The former civil rights group accuses abortion opponents of supporting “forced pregnancy”, but women in prison have become pregnant while it insists on forcing them to live alongside male rapists. The actual agenda of the ACLU is even worse than its wildest accusations that it and its radical leftists allies have been hurling for decades at social conservatives.

In Washington, the ACLU went to court to stop the release of documents about the transfer of male prisoners, including a serial rapist, into the Washington Correctional Center for Women.

The men included Douglas “Donna” Perry, a serial killer who violently hated women, was charged with murdering three prostitutes and may have killed between nine and twenty women.

Douglas Perry explained that he killed women because he "couldn't breed" and the "women had the ability to have children".

A family member of one of his murder victims had specifically asked that Douglas be kept out of a women's prison so he would not be able to hurt any more women.

But in California’s progressive jurisprudence, only the rights of criminals matter to the Left.

The ACLU's male attorney went so far in that case as to file an injunction against the woman requesting information about the number of men being housed in women's correctional facilities.

“The War on Women 2.0: Do They Think We're Stupid?” the ACLU headlined its arguments a decade ago. The ACLU is waging a War on Women 2.0 and it thinks its supporters are stupid.

In the name of diversity, equity and inclusion, the ACLU wants to force women to live alongside a male serial killer who piled up their naked corpses near the Spokane River.

Douglas Perry was caught because a cold case investigation allowed a "forensic scientist… to be able to develop a male DNA profile from blood" found under one of the victim's fingernails.

Perry is still a man. He was caught because of a male DNA profile. That’s actual science.

But how long will it be until the ACLU argues that DNA evidence can’t be used to stop serial killers like Perry because he now identifies as a woman and therefore he can’t be the suspect.

Perry's defense for the murder of those women was, "I'm not going to admit I killed anybody, I didn't. Donna has killed nobody." When he was asked if "Doug did", he answered, "I don't know if Doug did or not, it was 20 years ago and I have no idea whether he did or did not."

What used to be insanity a mere eight years ago is now the official position of the establishment.

In an extraordinary document, the ACLU denies everything we know about biological science and it does so in the name of not only erasing women, but exposing them to sexual abuse.

The ACLU claims to be fighting to protect women even as it’s forcing them to share a space with serial killers, rapists and sex offenders. What else would you call that except a War on Women?

CBS This Morning does segment on “Trans Joy”

 


Source: https://therightscoop.com/ugh-good-morning-america-does-segment-on-trans-joy/

American culture has become increasingly corrupt over the past two decades with the rise of the LGBT movement and here’s the latest example of the MSM playing their part in trying to normalize this transgender garbage.

CBS This Morning did a segment today on ‘trans joy’ where a dude proudly claims he’s a woman and the CBS hosts go right along with it as if it’s completely normal and wonderful.

It’s bad enough that men claim to be women and vice versa, but the MSM pushing all of this garbage is just one more reason to shut them off for good. There is nothing normal or beautiful about this and we all see how it’s permeating our society in negative ways, like with the male swimmer Lia Thomas being allowed to compete against women.

That’s the biggest problem I have with this movement because, just like with gay marriage, when a biological man is heralded as a woman and is given the right to compete against women, the rights of the women he’s competing against are severely diminished. It is truly an attack on woman and as DeSantis suggested yesterday, this is destroying women’s athletics.

And it all starts with normalizing this fraud, just as CBS seeks to do with this ‘trans joy’ segment. I can’t imagine there was ever a need for acceptance of God in our society more than now, and it looks like it’s only getting worse.

New York school cites 19th century reason for banning 'Jingle Bells' over Christmas

 

New York school cites 19th century reason for banning 'Jingle Bells' over Christmas




An upstate New York public school chose not to include "Jingle Bells" in its repertoire of Christmas songs after linking the tune’s origins to 19th century minstrel shows, according to a local report.

Council Rock Primary School in Brighton replaced the Christmas classic with other songs that did not have "the potential to be controversial or offensive," the school’s principal Matt Tappon wrote in an email to the Rochester Beacon, which first reported the news on Dec. 23.

The paper reported that Tappon and other staff confirmed in emails that the decision to stop singing the song was due, in part, to a 2017 article written by professor Kyna Hamill, director of Boston University’s Core Curriculum. 

In her article, Hamill researched the origins of "Jingle Bells," its composer, James L. Pierpont, and other songs about sleighs that appeared during the mid-1800s. She wrote that the first performance of "Jingle Bells" in public may have been in Boston in 1857 during a minstrel show, where White performers wore blackface.  

When the paper reached out to Hamill about the school citing her article as part of the reason why it banned the song, she wrote in an email that she was "actually quite shocked the school would remove the song from the repertoire. … I, in no way, recommended that it stopped being sung by children."

"My article tried to tell the story of the first performance of the song, I do not connect this to the popular Christmas tradition of singing the song now," she wrote, adding that the song "should very much be sung and enjoyed, and perhaps discussed."

On Dec. 28, Brighton Central School District Superintendent Kevin McGowan addressed the decision in a letter posted onto the district’s website following the report in the Beacon.

McGowan wrote that "we couldn’t be more proud of our staff" in their ongoing effort "to be more culturally responsive, thoughtful and inclusive," adding that "this is not a political situation" and "is not an attempt to push an agenda."

"This wasn’t ‘liberalism gone amok’ or ‘cancel culture at its finest’ as some have suggested," McGowan wrote. "Nobody has said you shouldn’t sing ‘Jingle Bells’ or ever in any way suggested that to your children."

McGowan said that while the school was not teaching or discussing the origins of the song with students, it did feel it mattered when deciding what material should be used in school.

"It may seem silly to some, but the fact that ‘Jingle Bells’ was first performed in minstrel shows where white actors performed in blackface does actually matter when it comes to questions of what we use as material in school," McGowan wrote.

He said that he felt that teachers handled the decision "very thoughtfully" and was proud of their work.

The 7 biggest Woke Box office stink bombs of 2021

 


A very interesting story from Breitbart: https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2021/12/27/7-biggest-woke-box-office-busts-of-2021-west-side-story-eternals-and-more/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=daily&utm_campaign=20211227

“Everything woke turns to shit,” former President Donald Trump said this year. Nowhere is this more true than in Hollywood, where the public’s rejection of woke movies can be measured in the tens of millions of dollars that studios are losing at the box office.

No matter how hard left-wing Hollywood pushes woke-ism — and their allies in the entertainment media insist we like it — the American public isn’t having it anymore, sending a clear and unambiguous message with their wallets. Will Hollywood learn its lesson? Of course not, but that’s their problem and it’s part of the fun.

This year, woke Hollywood movies tanked left and right as audiences wary of paying for a social justice lecture decided to stay away. Here are 7 of the wokest box-office bombs of the year. Keep in mind, Hollywood blockbusters often need to gross well north of twice their production budget to break even at the box office, due to promotional expenses that aren’t included in budget figures.

1. West Side Story

Estimated production budget: $100 million

Worldwide gross so far: $36.6 million

Steven Spielberg went full woke by not including English subtitles in Spanish-language scene, saying he did not want to give “English the power over the Spanish.” Actress Rachel Zegler further alienated audiences by shaming Americans who don’t speak Spanish. The mainstream media pushed this one hard, but moviegoers everywhere refused to fall for it.

Watch below:

2. Eternals

Estimated production budget: $200 million

Worldwide gross so far: $400.7 million

Disney-Marvel’s woke superhero dud featured a racially diverse cast, a deaf character, and a gay kiss between two male characters. China has so far denied it a release date, which also hurt the movie at the worldwide box office.

Watch below:

3. The Last Duel

Estimated production budget: $100 million

Worldwide gross so far: $30.5 million

Ridley Scott’s medieval epic, starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Adam Driver, incorporated woke gender politics by embracing the #MeToo movement and hiring a female screenwriter to add an anachronistic feminist perspective to the Affleck-Damon-penned screenplay.

Watch below:

4. In the Heights

Estimated production budget: $55 million

Worldwide gross so far: $43.9 million

This musical “celebration of Hispanic culture” was supposed to be a smash hit but tanked with audiences. “What about immigration?” one character reportedly raps. “Politicians be hating. Racism in this nation’s gone from latent to blatant.” Enough said.

Watch below:

5. Space Jam: A New Legacy

Estimated production budget: $150 million

Worldwide gross so far: $162.8 million

NBA star LeBron James has taken a series of increasingly anti-police positions. The pro-China athlete even threatened the Ohio police officer who shot teenager Ma’Khia Bryant in order to protect another young girl. “You’re Next,” James tweeted, along with a photo of the officer. Audiences stayed away in droves.

6. No Time to Die

Estimated production budget: $250 million

Worldwide gross so far: $774 million

Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007 could lose as much as $100 million due to marketing expenses and costs related to its repeated, pandemic-related delays.The movie embraced woke identity politics by creating a black female 007 character and making the character Q a gay man. Filmmaker Cary Fukunaga smeared the movie franchise by implying Sean Connery’s James Bond was a rapist.

7. Flag Day

Estimated production budget: More than $1 million

Worldwide gross so far: $820,000

Sean Penn’s latest directorial effort was a small-scale indie production that never found an audience. Penn has spent the past year publicly advocating for vaccine mandates, even going so far as to shame unvaccinated moviegoers.

Schools tell families how to ‘decolonize Thanksgiving’

 

Schools tell families how to ‘decolonize Thanksgiving’


Schools tell families how to ‘decolonize Thanksgiving’
The District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) has provided families with the resources needed to “decolonize” Thanksgiving, including guidance on indigenous land acknowledgement.

Thanksgiving is a day that can be difficult for many to celebrate as we reflect on the history of the holiday and the horrors inflicted on our indigenous populations,” DCPS Chancellor Lewis D. Ferebee said in an email sent to the families of students on November 18.

He added that, for those who did choose to celebrate, the equity team was sharing suggestions “for how you can consider decolonizing your Thanksgiving.” 

If you host a Thanksgiving meal, consider doing a land acknowledgement,” said Ferebee.

A link provided in the email led to tips on how to correctly support the indigenous people “to whom the land belongs.”

Don’t sugarcoat the past. Use terms like genocide, ethnic cleansing, stolen land, and forced removal to reflect actions taken by colonizers,” one of the recommendations read.

The guidance states that indigenous people should not be treated as “a relic of the past” and that land acknowledgements should function as “living celebrations of Indigenous communities.”

Ferebee also included in his email two articles on the matter, along with two lists of books about Native Americans – one list for adults and the other for children.

Looking for another reason to escape the public education propaganda camps, here it is,” the former chaplain of the Idaho Senate, Bryan Fischer, wrote on Twitter, commenting on the article that had brought Ferebee’s email to the attention of the wider public.
