Which is *totally* different from other burgeoning (burgeoned?) communities around simplified mottos like "Hope and Change" and "Black Lives Matter". Totally.
You mean to tell me that my 5 year old stuffing dollar bills down the underwear of a man dressed as a caricature of a woman with loose morals is not experiencing “the gift of childhood”?! You must be one of them far righters!! Bigot! /s
These numbers reflect voters. Including singles and those with no children. Ask parents. “No, I wouldn’t want to be informed of major changes being done to my children” said no parent ever. This might be the issue that guts the left.
It's looking like we'll have a bunch of parental rights initiatives on the 2024 ballot, so there''s not much the political class can do to stop it. Lots of idiotic lying and demonization to come, but.
You do know that Newsom just signed a law prohibiting the hand counting of ballots? Those electronic voting machines and ballot harvesters can take care of pesky parents’ rights initiatives.
Aren’t these the same people who labeled concerned Armenian American parents as white supremacists? What exactly is the business model for corporate media jacks these days? I’d love to see the profit/loss projections for the next decade or so.
‘Child identifying a gender that doesn’t align with their biological sex.’ That says it all. I don’t think the crazies disagree that there is such a thing as BIOLOGICAL sex - they just said so. The glaring omission is the psychological state of children who identify as a person not aligning with their biological sex. Where’s the help for this? No help from the crazies. They just target kids with autism or those on the spectrum because these kids are so easily confused and lead. The crazies are psychopathic criminals and they are culling the weakest in the herd to destroy.
On top of that, insurance pays serious cash to the medical community to butcher these kids. If you’ve ever worked with surgeons, you get how influential the paymaster is. I can’t quite grasp the insanity we are living in. I am definitely afraid to read the news in the morning, because it somehow gets worse every day.
There is encouraging signs that LAWSUITS temper the rabid enthusiasm of clinicians to diagnose and (mis)treat unhappy children. Witness the closing down of Washington University’s gender affirming clinic in recent weeks. Good legislation at the state level made that outcome possible, granting the transitioned a lengthy timeline to regret and sue, which is not likely in California.
Years ago I used to listen to Harry Scherer's 'Le Show', back when I could still stomach NPR. He always referred to the LA Times as The LA Dog Trainer.
“Backing them are conservative strategists, think tanks and institutions at the state and national level that have deep pockets,” WHAT?!?! Color me surprised. I’m going to sleep so peacefully tonight knowing there are deep pockets fighting for parental rights in California. 😂🙄 I wish. It’s literally just normal people tired of BS. I talk to ultrasound techs, nurses, SoCal gas employees, mechanics, teachers... A BUNCH of ordinary people tired of being fed crap and yelled at for making a face. Back in 2016 I had good conversations with coworkers and family where I was the weirdo. Not one person I know that disagreed with me wanting to homeschool my kids back then does anymore. Doesn’t matter the background, ethnicity, etc. I’m still a weirdo but like for other reasons 😂🤓
BTW, being a week shy of 7 months pregnant I would pay a dime (and only a dime) for the LA times IF it came with a back massage and beach front hotel room. Hahaha sounds like a perfect baby moon.
I am shocked! SHOCKED!! That progressive California parents want somebody in public schools, who they pay to "educate" their children, might sometime somehow anyhow want those public servants to include them in the conversation about their loved ones. So 84% of parents care about their children? That number seems sad and really low to me.
At the risk of squinting a bit too hard to find the silver lining...
I do think we have hit a turning point.
While the economy sucks, socially (the risk of being attacked by Karens, BLM activists, Trans, leftists in general), has gone way down, even here in California. The zeal is greatly diminished.
As someone who moved to California to go to what was and still is considered to be a “prestigious’ university, one of the 10 best in the professional degree field I studied. I cringe every time I see what California has turned into, embarrassed to even say that I went there. It’s like they are making things so bad and cringeworthy, that I fear my time there will be viewed in a negative light at some point, rendering it as substandard. I left the state in 2018 and never looked back, in hindsight it was the best move I’ve ever made. The place is unrecognizable to me now, I would never have anything to do with it again.
From an alert reader, the while LA Times article, minus the paywall:
https://archive.ph/DBRfb
Should sticky this to the top. Too many insane quotes to cite, just leaving this one here:
‘The activists have built burgeoning communities around simplified mottos, such as “Leave Our Kids Alone,” which they wear on T-shirts.’
Which is *totally* different from other burgeoning (burgeoned?) communities around simplified mottos like "Hope and Change" and "Black Lives Matter". Totally.
I came here to post that. archive.ph doesn't break all the paywalls, especially not on journal articles, but this LAT tripe ain't so tough.
tons of air quotes in the article. their choice of where to apply those was almost as annoying as the slant of the whole thing.
Is it really too much to ask for children to experience the gift of childhood?
Seems like a modest proposal
You monster
lolol
Lolol

I guess a SUPER-DUPER ULTRA MAGA GRANDMA KILLING RACIST SCIENCE DENIER?
A modest proposal? EAT THE POOR!! ;-)

This should be the issue that guts the left. It's disgusting.
Never underestimate the RINO'S ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
APPARENTLY
The conservative members of the House seem to be following that playbook, based on what I heard of the speaker of the house voting today.
It's looking like we'll have a bunch of parental rights initiatives on the 2024 ballot, so there''s not much the political class can do to stop it. Lots of idiotic lying and demonization to come, but.

They cant win.
Either they fail legitimately,
or worse, they succeed with the obvious stench of corruption, to the point that the "I only learn when it hurts me directly" left joins the fight.
My only solace, being stuck in California, is that I’m not alone: lots of other states are at least as bad as this one.
Or until they lose...decisively.
Dear Baby Jesus, please let this be the issue that guts the left. Amen 🙏 Yours Truly, Harrm in the Belly of the Beast
The real question is -- are parents dangerously racist, or are they dangerously anti-science?
EMBRACE THE HEALING POWER OF "AND," COMRADE
Dangerous DENIER'S
Bahahaha
Anyone NOT anti ‘Science’ is foolish now.
Suggested edit: "The future American Red Guard will sort THEM out".
California school policy journalist might be the most demoralized job that has ever existed. Not even Kim Jong Uns boot shiner stoops that low.
I worked in a newsroom once where our school reporter was never anywhere close to sober, and now I understand.
Yeah but they'd mow you down all the same in a firing squad if you got between their 3 meals and 4 manacles.
Pre-genocidal rhetoric.
If I were king these might be the first people I'd put against the wall.
considering the last 4 years, I'd need a BIG wall... and a lot of help
BUILD THAT WALL!
LOLOL
Maybe his fluffer, though.
It’s like they don’t want their kids turned into homosexual communists.
Gasp!

Yes. Yes they are.
LA Times too labeled Larry Elder as the “blackface of white supremacy “
As usual they throw in “ties to Proud Boys” to up the danger quotient. DEMOCRACY IS THREATENED!!
"ties" meaning someone there once retweeted something that someone else tweeted who had once retweeted something by a "Proud Boy".
show me the "extremist" and i'll show u the crime....
The Proud Assigned Males at Birth!

Very good point. It's evil imo. It's as if the most obvious is completely lost on these cretins
The Marxist in CA have found the wall.
Leave the kids alone.
It's as good of a campaign solgan as "It's the economy stupid".
Democrats will have to vote Republican to protect their children.
They won't.
Come on don't pop my tiny little bubble
Yeah, but we can always hope.
Can’t we have another choice or two?
Years ago I used to listen to Harry Scherer's 'Le Show', back when I could still stomach NPR. He always referred to the LA Times as The LA Dog Trainer.
Eighty-four percent (84%) of California VOTERS would support...
100% of parents would support.
97% of parents. Never underestimate the lawn sign AWFL.
Even the severely afflicted mentally ill can sire and/or bear children. Unfortunately.
I suspect your estimated percentages are a mite high.
I stand corrected.

I'll pitch that deal to their subscriber department, but I can't make any guarantees.

84% of all voters -- Rasmussen didn't screen for parents. It's higher among actual breeders.
