Just because you have adult associations with that phrase does not mean that kids will be groomed by said phrase.

But as I always say, if you feel this is grooming, then I strongly support you notifying the authorities. Please let us know what happens.

New York State, City Paid $200,000 for Drag Queens Reading to Kids at Public Schools, Records Show
Bill Pan, June 13, 2022, The Epoch Times

New York City and state combined have paid drag performers more than $200,000 for appearances in New York City public schools since 2018, according to a report.

Drag Story Hour NYC, an organization previously known as Drag Queen Story Hour NYC, has received $50,000 from the state’s Council on the Arts, as well as $157,000 from New York City’s departments of Education, Cultural Affairs, Youth and Community Development, and Transportation, according to records obtained by the New York Post.

Since the beginning of this year, Drag Story Hour has organized 49 appearances in 34 elementary, middle, and high schools across the city. The group in May alone made $46,000 in public funds for its appearances at schools, festivals, and libraries.

This year so far has seen the New York City Council spending $80,000 on Drag Story Hour, more than triple the amount spent last year.

These story hours, where performers in drag read to children from 3 to 8 years old, first started in 2015 in San Francisco and have since spread to libraries and schools across the United States. They’re “intended to capture children’s imagination and help children explore their gender fluidity through glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models,” according to the organization’s website.

The books used during the story hours typically focus on homosexuality and concepts such as “gender fluidity.” Two of the popular books, “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish” and “If You’re a Drag Queen and You Know It,” are authored by a founder of Drag Story Hour and feature classic children’s rhymes rewritten in a way that celebrates the drag lifestyle.

New York Public Library, the largest public library system in the United States, entered a partnership with Drag Story Hour in 2017 and has been holding story hours both in-person and online over the past five years. Despite the sexual nature and often lewdness of drag performances, the library encourages parents to expose their children to drag events and have conversations about them.

“If your child is interested in talking about why the drag queen is dressed up, you can have that conversation in very simple language,” the library states alongside a drag story hour video intended for children aged 2 to 4. “Why do you think this person dresses this way? I think it’s because they love looking beautiful. Isn’t it great how human beings come in all shapes, sizes, and colors? How we dress on the outside sometimes matches how we feel on the inside. How do you feel when you wear your favorite outfit?”

The sponsorship is endorsed by progressive politicians such as Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.), a former teacher whose congressional district covers parts of Manhattan and Queens.

“Across the country, books are being banned, which are depriving our nation’s youth,” Maloney wrote on Twitter in April. “But thanks to [New York Public Library] and programs like Drag Queen story hour, NYC’s next generation are getting a well-rounded education about LGBTQ+ issues and gender identity.”

A Republican councilwoman says she can’t stand for taxpayer money being spent on these events.

“I am considering pulling funding to any school in my district that is implementing Drag Queen Story Hour,” Vickie Paladino, who represents Queens in the New York City Council, told the New York Post. “We are taking hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the pockets of hardworking New York taxpayers … to fund a program teaching little children about their gender fluidity? Not. On. My. Watch.”

Yeah, we had a thread about this earlier.

A lot of people argued that drag queens should have their free speech rights taken away, and perhaps deserve the threats with which they and the children are targeted.

[Rancid]

@BlutoSays is all over the place. Incoherent.

It's sad, because in reality, there is a lot of criticize about the American left that I happily would get on board with Bluto on. However, when all you do is post/say stupid shit, it's hard to join you.

[BlutoSays]

[Godstud]

Right, because no heterosexual person has ever been arrested for sexual assault.

@BlutoSays you are, yourself, a meme. You're probably one of those assholes who think that teaching your kid to be nice to other people will turn him gay.

I LOVE leftists trying to rationalize and explain away memes!!!

Note to Godstud and Pugsville: Remove stick from ass.

Portland Parents Encouraged To Send Their Kids To “Social Justice Summer Camp”

Watch out for those groomers. Hard left ideologues have long sought to target other people's children as a means to indoctrinate the next generation while they are young, naive and easily manipulated. Frankly, it's the only way to effectively spread what amounts to cultural Marxism – Most adults with normal upbringings are going to ask too many questions and have too many criticisms. Leftists see the stalking and grooming of young people as fair game, because in their minds the ends justify the means and their agenda is viewed as sacrosanct.

In other words, mentally enslave the children of today and you own the adult voters of tomorrow. The latest attempt is a relatively new camp program in Portland, Oregon operated by a group called 'Budding Roses' (a rather unsettling name considering the topic). The group was founded as a part of the Black Rose Anarchist Foundation and the camp is open to students from 4th to 8th grade.



The curriculum of Budding Roses has a mix of online and camp lessons, but they appear to all have the same basic bent:


Black As Resistance: 4 Kids – Your children can learn all about white colonialism, anti-blackness, “self defense,” and more!

Police Abolition – Imagining a world without police.

Transformative Justice – Individuals “affected by injustice” address their grievances and demand reparations.

White Supremacy Reflection – Terms like “white supremacy.” “intersectionality,” and “privilege” are explained. Learn about the original sin of being white!

Writing People In Prison – Want your children to start a correspondence with convicted criminals? Budding Roses will teach them how!


The list continues, but you get the general idea.

We have seen many such indoctrination attempts over the past few years, including a woke sex education camp for children based out of Hazard, Kentucky which covered such fun topics as the different methods for masturbation. Numerous other camps across the US have adopted the gender identity insanity, allowing biological males to be housed with biological females as long as they identify as “trans.” This same philosophy has led to some horrible incidents of manipulation and victimization in public schools.

For example, in Loudoun County, VA, a boy claiming to be a transgender girl was allowed to frequent the girls bathrooms at Loudoun High School in the name of inclusion, only to have him rape a 15-year-old girl at the school. The Loudoun School Board attempted to ignore and then hide the event while having the father of the victim arrested at a school board meeting when he argued the issue. The mainstream media has since tried to claim that conservatives “lied” about the Loudoun incident because the girl had allegedly had two encounters with the assailant in the past, yet the boy in question was CONVICTED of sexual assault in juvenile court. This is not in question.

The point is, social justice proponents often overlook the highly negative effects associated with exposing children to their ideology. They don't care about the children, they only care about how those children can be used as tools for the furtherance of their cause.

Set aside the fact that the majority of lessons that are taught as a part of woke curriculum are based in faulty logic, misrepresentations of history and outright lies. The risks go well beyond the mental grooming and delve into the potential for sexual grooming as well. With no attempt to separate children according to biological sex, these camps are just asking for trouble. Perhaps they even welcome such trouble.

Woke lessons within camp settings are much more pervasive than many people realize. It's not just the dedicated Anarchist/socialist brainwashing camps, it's bigger venues as well. Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts of America have seen a dramatic plunge in their membership numbers since they began adopting leftist talking points and lessons. The Girl Scouts in particular have gone full bore SJW with their “anti-racism” programs which teach about diversity, equity, inclusion and racial justice.

It's the same old made-up buzzwords used as a cover for collectivism, conformity and socialism/communism. When they said they're coming for your children, they were quite serious.

Keep on dehumanising your opponents.

It makes it easier to not feel bad when they have their rights taken away and get sent to prison camps.

FDA Warns Puberty Blockers May Cause Vision Loss in Children
The Epoch Times, Mimi Nguyen Ly, July 26, 2022


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently added a warning to the labeling of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists—also referred to by many as puberty blockers—saying the drugs may cause a series of symptoms in children that include headaches, pressure buildup around the brain, and vision loss.

The warning, announced by the agency on July 1, says there is a risk of pseudotumor cerebri in children who take GnRH agonists.

Pseudotumor cerebri, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is when the fluid around the brain and spinal cord builds up in the skull for no obvious reason, causing high pressure that affects the brain and the nerve in the back of the eye, the optic nerve.

“The new warning includes recommendations to monitor patients taking GnRH agonists for signs and symptoms of pseudotumor cerebri, including headache, papilledema, blurred or loss of vision, diplopia, pain behind the eye or pain with eye movement, tinnitus, dizziness and nausea,” the FDA announced.

GnRH agonists stop the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone that are involved in the physical changes a person undergoes during puberty. They are FDA-approved for the treatment of central precocious puberty—a condition where children experience premature puberty: in girls, this is before age 8, and in boys, before age 9.

GnRH agonists are also used to treat other conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, precocious puberty, and infertility.

The class of drugs is also being used off-label by some medical practitioners who prescribe them to children who experience gender dysphoria. The drugs can only be prescribed to children under 18 if the parents or guardians consent to the approach. Off-label means that GnRH agonists have not been approved by the FDA for this purpose.

GnRH agonists products include Lupron Depot-Ped (leuprolide acetate), Fensolvi (leuprolide acetate), Synarel (nafarelin), Supprelin LA (histrelin), and Triptodur (triptorelin).

‘Plausible Association’

The FDA had identified six cases that “supported a plausible association between GnRH agonist use and pseudotumor cerebri,” it said. The cases were identified via a risk assessment that included reviewing safety data submitted by GnRH agonists manufacturers, searching the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, and conducting a literature search.

“Six cases were identified that supported a plausible association between GnRH agonist use and pseudotumor cerebri. All six cases were reported in birth-assigned females ages 5 to 12 years,” the FDA stated.

“Five were undergoing treatment for central precocious puberty and one for transgender care,” the agency said. “The onset of pseudotumor cerebri symptoms ranged from three to 240 days after GnRH agonist initiation.”

Of the six cases, five experienced visual disturbances, five experienced headache or vomiting, three had papilledema (swelling of the optic nerve), one had blood pressure increase, and one had weakness in a nerve responsible for eye movement.

At the time the FDA reviewed the cases, symptoms had resolved in three patients and was resolving in another patient. Another patient had symptoms that had not resolved, and the remaining patient’s condition was unknown. The GnRH agonist therapy was “discontinued in three patients,” while the status of the therapy was unknown for the other three.

“The incidence rate of pseudotumor cerebri associated with GnRH agonist use in pediatric patients could not be reliably established due to the small number of cases and data limitations,” the FDA stated.

According to Formulatory Watch, four of the six cases were associated with the use of leuprolide, and the other two cases were associated with the use of triptorelin.

“The [FDA] considered the cases clinically serious and, based on these reviews, determined that pseudotumor cerebri (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) should be added as a warning and precaution in product labeling for all GnRH agonist formulations approved for use in pediatric patients,” an FDA spokesperson told Formulary Watch in May.

“Although the mechanism by which GnRH agonists may lead to development of pseudotumor cerebri has not been elucidated, and patients with CPP may have a higher baseline risk of developing pseudotumor cerebri compared with children without CPP, this potential serious risk associated with GnRH agonists justifies inclusion in product labeling.”

Considering that you are usually stupid enough to post stuff like that as fact, I didn't find it very hard to believe that you would post it as a real source. You are not very smart. The fault is yours for you being ironic after being so fucking moronic for so long that you made it believable to anyone observer that you were stupid enough to believe it was real.

Your jokes are pathetic, and ill-conceived. Just like you.
