“This bill will not ban any books,” Foxx said. “Let me repeat: this bill will not ban any books.”
“Our bill is meant to give parents their God-given rights to be involved in their children’s education and to seek the best education possible,” Foxx said. “We do not want anybody to be treated unfairly. We want everyone to be treated fairly. We do not want to ban books.” [Danielle Battaglia]
Ban? How about harass. Harassment mandated in one of HR5's provisions, the right to "inspect the books and other reading materials in the library of their child's school." Look forward to those scenes: Hard-right Trumpist parents, stirred up by Moms for Liberty, pillaging the school library. And leading, we would think, to many a young teacher caving, or many an old school administrator caving, a world that Foxx loves from the darkside of her heart and that she never would have put up with when she was an educator.
One amendment added to the bill states that if a school allows a transgender girl to play on a sports team, her parents must be notified. The second forces notification if a school allows a transgender child to use a bathroom or changing room matching their gender identity.
In other words, not just harassment of books but harassment of children trying to express themselves while not doing anybody else any harm.
Foxx can't hide her predatory aroma, a fox on the hunt: “Teachers’ unions and education bureaucrats worked to push progressive politics in the classroom while keeping parents in the dark,” Foxx said. “The Parents Bill of Rights aims to end that and shine a light on what is happening in schools.”
"Progressive politics"? She means "diversity, equity, inclusion," the "DEI" currently defining conservative know-nothings' notion of "wokeness."
A congresswoman opposed to diversity and inclusion.
ReplyDeleteDoes that put her at opposition to our constitution?
She needs to go.
'Diversity and inclusion' are not in the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe Virginia Foxx I know is calculating and selfish, and obviously did tolerate unreasonable right wing interference when she was an educator and administrator. That was how she advanced her career. I am so glad to see her fading away physically and mentally, and am thankful she will soon be unable to serve her evil minions. She'll achieve advanced senility when she turns 80 June 29th, if she has not already.
ReplyDeleteHoundog is wanting to erase out "All men are created equal..." or at least urinate on it. He'd probably ban the Declaration of Independence from public schools, but then I imagine patriarchal sovereign sheriffs or Klan Dragons could compose a substitute that met their needs.
ReplyDeleteTitle VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, To enforce the constitutional right to vote, to confer jurisdiction upon the district courts of the United States to provide injunctive relief against discrimination in public accommodations, to authorize the attorney General to institute suits to protect constitutional rights in public facilities and public education, to extend the Commission on Civil Rights, to prevent discrimination in federally assisted programs, to establish a Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, and for other purposes.
ReplyDeleteSO YES, diversity and Inclusion ARE in the Bill of Rights.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: DOES include diversity and inclusion. "To enforce the constitutional right to vote, to confer jurisdiction upon the district courts of the United States to provide injunctive relief against discrimination in public accommodations, to authorize the attorney General to institute suits to protect constitutional rights in public facilities and public education, to extend the Commission on Civil Rights, to prevent discrimination in federally assisted programs, to establish a Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, and FOR OTHER PURPOSES."
ReplyDelete"The Blessings of Liberty" is right there in the Preamble...
ReplyDeleteCivil Rights act might, but the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights does not have the words 'inclusion, equity and diversity'.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantasies of the deranged leftist.
As usual, Red Hornet has lost his sting, and has to resort to fantasy to try and jab me.
ReplyDeleteI've quoted and referred to the Declaration of Independence on this blog in a wholly salutary light. Indeed, I would support making it a requirement that every high school graduate be able to recite it before graduation, as it might lessen some of the stupidity I see going on here and in the country at large.
As for " patriarchal sovereign sheriffs or Klan Dragons", they are traditionally Democrats, so I wouldn't support them. I do notice that Governor Cooper has vetoed the bill to finally erase the Jim Crow handgun purchase permit, even though the vast majority of NC sheriffs were in support of it being eliminated. I suppose that democrat sheriffs will still be able to discriminate against folks on skin color, sexual orientation, country of origin, or whatever they find objectionable.
But I am wondering if Red Hornet supports the Declaration fully, such as this gem:
That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Does R.H. support the right of the people to 'alter or abolish' the government, or does he pick and choose whatever fits his political ravings?
And the words inclusion, equity and diversity are still not in the Constitution.
"'inclusion, equity and diversity'.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantasies of the deranged leftist."
These words, and many more, are not in the Declaration verbatim. Which begs the question, what is your problem with inclusion, equity and diversity?
They're leftist buzzwords used to give themselves warm fuzzies while they use force, that is government, to conform other people against their will.
