Michael in Norfolk looks inside the Trojan Horse of “parents’ rights.” Here’s a bit of his piece:

The mantra of racist and anti-LGBT legislators as they seek to ban books and erase history they don’t like and LGBT students in general is that they are protecting “parental rights.” However, the real agenda is to please knuckle dragging evangelicals and Christofascists who want to sanitize history of the rampant racism that defined the Jim Crow era and want to send LGBT individuals back into the shadows . . . .

Misdirection Play, Child Prey Dept. 0

At the Portland Press-Herald, Victoria Hugo-Vidal parses the perfidy. Here’s a tiny bit from her article:

As Cardi B once wisely put it in a song, “hating didn’t work, so they lied.” The vicious, persistent minority of right-wingers who don’t think LGBTQ people should live freely and openly in the United States of America realized they couldn’t just say their goals and beliefs straight out. So they lied, and made it about children.

The Christofascists will not stop at banning health care for transgender children. They are coming for adult care – they’ve said so.

A Viral Infection 0

At the Idaho State Journal, Leonard Hitchcock reveals that, to his horror, he just might be infected with the “woke mind virus.” Here’s one symptom:

While driving home, I exclaimed to my wife, “Good heavens! Could it be possible that I am w… w… woke!?” To which she reluctantly informed me that there have been other subtle signs.

As proof, she reminded me that I have expressed concern over the proposed relaxing of child labor laws. Surely that is a “wokeness” symptom when I know that conservatives support such a move. Deceased conservative billionaire David Koch even once pledged to “abolish” child labor laws altogether.

The Fredericksburg, Va., Free Lance-Star reports on efforts to censor books in the Spotsylvania County public schools. You can follow the link for the story, but this sentence leapt out at me (emphasis added):

The county continues to field book challenges, most of them initiated by one parent.

Welcome to the unfree marketplace of ideas.

Blowback 0

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gene Collier finds himself dismayed, but somehow not surprised, by the reaction of (some) Republicans to President Biden’s announcement of the “U.S. National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.” He observes that

(t)he intractable part of the contemporary American story is that just about any attempt to fight ignorance results in ignorance fighting back.
