The Seattle Times waxes philosophically about gender issues within the graduation ceremony for High School students. Apparently, in years gone by, boys and girls wore differing color robes for graduation.
Now, amid the multi-cultural progressive dynamics of disingenuous gender labeling, they appear perplexed as they study the potential ramifications inherent within a singular color robe to protect the delicate sensibilities of trans-somethingorother.
Obviously the higher education authority is committed to the progressive mind now grasping to reconcile the challenge of how to retain little boxes they use to define each young member of society, yet affording a cohesive sense of unity – or something equally stupid.

[…] The band strikes the first note of a processional song. Then come the students two by two — girls draped in green robes, boys in black. For the whole event, the girls sit separate from the boys on opposite sides of a wide aisle.

Five other Seattle high schools graduate in a similar way, with gender-specific gowns. At least one school in Shoreline and two in the Lake Washington School District do, too.

Given the latest series of hit pieces coming from the liberal media, it’s obvious who they fear and who they support. Scott Walker comes under fire from the Washington Post, New York Times and CNN. Meanwhile Jeb Bush is praised.
However, the latest New York Times ‘hit piece’ is a construct of intentionally false information as the Weekly Standard points out:

NYT […] “All of that came as a distinct surprise to Claudia Felske, a member of the faculty at East Troy High School who actually was named a Wisconsin Teacher of the Year in 2010. In a phone interview, Felske said she still remembers when she got the news at a “surprise pep assembly at my school.” As well as the fact that those layoffs happened because Walker cut state aid to education“….

Maryland, the most progressive and race-driven Marxist state within the union. Time and time again Maryland shows up as a hotbed of racial violence.
In this latest attack another school teacher was brutally beaten and left bloodied on the floor. The media claim a “racially insensitive” remark provoked the student to attack. In Maryland a “racially insensitive remark” could be the teacher saying “all lives matter”, that’s enough.
And don’t forget what the school district did last month….

Prince George’s County – A student punched a Maryland teacher last week over a racially insensitive comment, witnesses say. (more…)

Schemes, Gimmicks and Tricks….

WASHINGTON – On Saturday night the White House leaked the major tax hike details of the president’s upcoming budget. The common theme is higher taxes on savings and investment, totaling $320 billion over the next ten years.
“Democrats are demanding, yet again, tax increases on America. This never ends. When it comes to tax hikes Democrats are like a teenage boy on a prom date: they keep asking the same question different ways but always to the same point,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform.
Here are the major tax increases in the President’s upcoming budget:
​1. Capital Gains Rate Hike: raises capital gains and dividends tax rate from 23.8% today (20% plus 3.8% Obamacare surtax) to 28% (including the Obamacare surtax).

The capital gains tax has not been that high since President Clinton signed a rate cut in 1997.

It would represent a massive hike in the rate since Obama took office. When he was sworn in, the rate was 15%. He proposes to nearly double it to 28% in the twilight of his administration. (more…)

I agree with everything this guy says about the Republican party and his sentiment, except the date. The date the principled conservative movement actually lost any hope of reforming the Republican party was May 20th 2014.  This is the same exact date that Jeb Bush became the absolute guaranteed GOP candidate for 2016.

Everything between May 20th 2014 and November 8th 2016 is baked into the cake. 

(Bell News) The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result.
Over the past 40 plus years of life I have been fed the line that if a person doesn’t vote for the Republicans then the Democrats will win. Or if we start a third party it will split the vote and the Democrats will win. (more…)

I guarantee you if this kid was reading the Koran, the teacher would not have told him to put it away.

Cultural Marxism Strikes Again – (Via Truth Revolt) A 12-year-old Missouri middle-schooler was told by his teacher that reading the Bible during free time is prohibited.
Loyal Grandstaff’s father said his son’s freedoms of religion and speech were both violated. He is reaching out to the school for answers, according to WDAF-TV.
The boy told the news station:

I like to read my Bible because it’s a good book. I was just reading, just reading because I had free time. A time to do what I wanted to, so I just broke it out and read.

Loyal said he wanted to read the Bible during free time because he feels encouraged by it. He stated that he wasn’t reading aloud or sharing the book with any other classmates when his teacher approached and told him to put it away. (read more)

What did the middle school kids get to hear?

…“As long as they kill us and go to Wendy’s and have a burger and go to sleep, they’ll keep killing us. But when we die and they die, then soon we’re going to sit at a table and talk about it! We’re tired! We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”…

Reverse the races and speakers and contemplate what would happen in the media.
(Via BizPac Review) A Maryland public school took students as young as 11 to hear a speech by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan last month that included calling white people “crackers” and threatening to “tear this goddamn country up!”
According to EAG News, Farrakhan’s Nov. 22 speech was the keynote of an event at historically black Morgan State University that focused on fostering grievances with the theme “Re-Claim, Re-Pair, Re-Form, Re-Produce, – REPARATIONS NOW!”

The MSM will play this down as a “disturbed young lady”, while ignoring the fact these tremendously unstable minds are heavily influenced by the inflamed rhetoric of the “F*ck The Police” (FTP) protestors.  My hunch would be she looks like that Lena Dunham personality….

A Massachusetts woman is accused of throwing raw bacon and sausage at a police station on Friday, saying she was there to “feed the pigs,” but her parents tell NECN their daughter’s behavior is “not her” and she needs help.

Framingham police say 24-year-old Lindsey McNamara of Ashland walked into the police department with a large Dunkin’ Donuts box, and when an officer asked if he could help her, she told him she was there to “feed the pigs” and smeared a handful of raw meat on the dispatcher’s window. She threw the meat all over the counter as well. As she tried to to do it a second time, she was arrested, police said. (more…)

(Via Red Alert) Following the model set at several law schools, students at Oberlin College are pleading for leniency during final exams and the final grading period this fall semester in light of the grand jury decisions in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases and the shooting of Tamir Rice.
A petition has been circling around the school community President Marvin Krislov to suspend the standard grading system because students of color, especially black students, are at risk of failing.
“I would really like to see the normal grading system suspended for this semester and replaced with a no-fail mercy period. Administrators should require professors to exercise complete flexibility in what students are saying they can produce academically. Require that every professor listen to what their students are saying and if that means rather than writing a paper students instead meet with their professor to simply discuss in groups their paper topics or if tests are taken collectively with professors there are ways to make sure we are learning what we are supposed to be learning in ways that are not so taxing in times like this,” the petition reads.

The Rolling Stone freefall continues
Via Daily Caller – When Ryan, a University of Virginia student — described in the widely-discredited Rolling Stone article on campus rape as “Randall” — told Jackie he was not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with her in September 2012, he says “it did not go over very well.”
“There was a lot of crying involved,” Ryan told The Daily Caller in an interview on Friday of the conversation with Jackie after she expressed interest in dating him during the fall semester of their freshman year.
Ryan has become a central figure in Jackie’s claim — published in Rolling Stone last month — that she was brutally gang-rape by seven members of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity on Sept. 28, 2012. (more…)
