There was a time when a teacher asking students to write sexual fantasy stories would have faced firing or criminal charges. That time is not today. Current school teachers seem to be infatuated with sex, sexual orientation, gender preferences, pronouns, and identity. In this blog, I’ve written about books like Gender Queer and Let’s Talk About It that have been used in class and are in many libraries.

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google which is a subsidiary of Alphabet. These are the same people that brought you Google search, the Chrome browser, and Fitbit. Like other big tech companies, YouTube has made a sport of stifling conservative voices.

Woke culture, cancel culture, and critical race theory are taking over both public and private schools. I suspect that those who disagree with the previous statement will be deemed insufficiently woke and be canceled by the illiberal social media mob.
