Sure would be a shame if someone found a wealthy, suburban school district in Indiana and submitted hundreds of complaints about students getting gender affirming care (like breast implants and nose jobs).
A propos of nothing…
Feel like perhaps we should do voice, and we might have parallel ideas about how the word needs to work.
I think I see that you have some RBL perspective, and we can go from there.
That is my absolute intent bc the whiny/bitchy perspective is irrelevant to me.
W/ that in mind…. I tend to think I’d be OK w/ a teen going a/ it, running away across the border,,etc.
If I can’t house them directly, I’d gladly to anything I can to contrib to the same.
Comes down to three simple words; “How can I help?”
Not convinced there aren’t the most imp 3W in Eng.
U can be wrong at (your thing, none of my biz) - just don’t force it on me.
socialist indoctrination
I was wondering when good ‘ol’ McCarthy would begin to make a comeback.
I've been careful not to water down this word, but this is nazism, this is a government effort to identify and segregate a group for the purposes of punishing and removing.
Because educators are so easy to come by these days, what with the low pay, shitty administration and whack job school boards, and overcrowded classrooms, etc etc.
I did my duty, I snitched on Gary School for Cats. Maybe next I'll see about writing a script to submit more concerning school behavior. Would be a shame if their entire website was filled with nonsense.
I wrote a long letter for the Snitch site last time it was posted informing them of the insidiousness of that no-pants-wearing pervert Winnie the Pooh and how much I disagreed with it being available in the school library.
It'd at least show they're not filtering shit.
Not if it brings down their website it won't. Would be an accident of course.
This is just government-enabled witch hunting prompted by political and religious outrage/fear and backed by shoddy verification. It's also not free - tax money is being spent on what, given the obvious lack of safeguards, is little more than mob justice.
White did not hold back in his reply to Youngs: “It is beyond concerning that the highest legal office in the state of Indiana… vetted nothing, gave me no chance prior to publication to respond, and now you have published your website and we have to ‘prove’ what I submitted to you is true. This is sad and I have no respect for it,” he wrote. Sounds like a reasonable take on this hot mess.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The attorney general website pledges the office will use “our investigative tools, including public records requests” to probe materials it believes could violate Indiana law.
In the case of New Prairie, the Eyes on Education site posted, for public opprobrium, the district’s old “Gender Support” policy, originally crafted in August 2022.
White attached copies of the current plan, highlighting that “parents will be informed in all instances when a transgender student comes forward to request gender transition considerations.” He asked that the old policy be removed.

A Rokita spokesperson defended posting outdated materials on the website in a statement to Rolling Stone: “Even if a lesson plan or policy has changed, it’s important for parents to see what the adults in their child’s school are capable of.”
But as a Cuban American, he’s particularly alarmed by other documents highlighted on the site — posted from a nearby school district — that simply alert students to the availability of minority scholarships at local colleges.
