One might be tempted to argue that the growing contempt for liberty and the lack of civility stem from the election of Donald Trump. That's entirely wrong. The lack of civility and indoctrination of our young people have been going on for decades. Walter Williams

"Drag Queen Story Hour is a fun and important program that celebrates diversity in the way that children may dress and act," Zuckerman said. "It encourages children to look beyond gender stereotypes and embrace unfettered exploration of self." "Think about how absurd this is," Fitzgerald says in the video, adding:

The taxpayer is funding adult-themed performers to come and read to our smallish children in order to indoctrinate them into a political ideology about gender while, at the same time, school districts across the country are removing any and all references to biological sex from science textbooks.

Virginia Hale: Children in Scotland are set to be told that "your gender is what you decide" from their first year at primary school under draft education guidelines...

According to the Christian Institute, which wrote to the government to express "significant concerns", the advice instructs teachers to report to local authorities the names of parents who "struggle" with a child's professed gender identity, and asserted that "children should be supported to explore and express their identity regardless of their age".

Lianne Laurence: "The gravest internal threat to this country is not illegal aliens; it is leftist professors who are waging a war against America and teaching our young people to hate this country....That means universities as currently constituted have got to go," argued Hill, who has written on civil disobedience and identity politics, social and political philosophy, cosmopolitanism and race theory.

"We need to defund them, disband and rebuild them with conservative principles...Withdraw your support and leave them to fund themselves. Let them put their wares on the free market, where they will be left homeless. The world you desired no longer exists in our universities. It lies elsewhere, in a philosophic system waiting to be discovered or created." - Lianne Laurence

Academia is by this time too radically compromised and too extensively diseased to be revived.  Clearly, this is not a happy scenario.  Some few exceptions to the general rout will survive - a Hillsdale College, for example, and perhaps a university here and there will manage to halt or at least delay its subsidence into irrelevance and desuetude.  But the university system as we know it has signed its death warrant.  The sooner it disappears, the sooner we can begin rebuilding from the foundations - assuming the culture has not stagnated beyond salvage.  Sometimes collapse is the only remedy.    David Solway

Other upcoming classes offered by the New School Media and Culture department include "Foucault and His Legacy," "Feminist, Queer Theory and The Arts," and "How to Overthrow the U.S Government, Legally."

LGBT activists are determined to teach their ideology to children, and have focused their efforts on infiltrating the public school system, influencing the sex education curriculum, and ensuring that the concepts such as gender fluidity are taught from the earliest possible age. Now, it seems, they have successfully managed to insert themselves into the children's programming of public libraries right across Canada and the United States-with the enthusiastic approval of the library staff. Drag queens and children's stories about transgenderism are in-and so, again, at yet another venue-Christian parents must be out.      Jonathan Van Maren

Mommy Underground: One little boy became "terrified" he would turn into a girl, after witnessing a "transgender" ceremony in his kindergarten class.

This child was traumatized, because without consenting parents, a kindergarten teacher decided to promote a "transgender" agenda to her students.

A teacher has no right to go against the wishes of a parent, or keep them in the dark as to what is actually taking place inside the classroom.

Parents are in charge of their children, not leftist school officials.

For a judge to think it's acceptable to keep parents in the dark, as school officials cozy up to LGBT activists and create a perverse agenda, is simply unacceptable.

Even with parents pleading of psychological distress and suicide attempts, LGBT activists don't care.

An Alternative way

A more enlightened approach to education is found in Finland. Here, children don't start school until they are seven, there is no streaming or selection in schools, so children of varying abilities work side by side, no homework is set, school holidays are long and there is only one standardized test, administered in the final year of high school. The result is happier children than in countries where testing, homework, selection and competition reign supreme. Not only are children happier (according to the World Happiness Report, Finland is the happiest country in the world), they achieve higher academic marks than students in many other countries; according to The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) organized annually by the OECD, Finland ranks fourth for reading and 5th for Math in the world; 93% of students graduate from High School, compared to 78% in Canada and 75% in America. - Graham Peebles

Thomas Lifson: Gender madness is being enforced with the iron fist of bad grades at some of Australia's leading universities.  Natasha Bita of the Courier-Mail of Brisbane reports:

Queensland's top universities all demand that "inclusive language'' be used in essays, assignments, lectures and conversation, in "nanny state'' policies rubbished yesterday by an angry federal Education Minister.

Other words - including "she", "man", "wife" and "mother'' - are also off limits at some universities.

University of Queensland students have complained about academics docking marks for using the word "mankind'' in essays.

A politics student was penalised for using the grammatically correct pronoun of "she'' to describe a car.

"People are losing marks for using everyday speech because it's not gender-neutral,'' the student, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Courier Mail yesterday.

"I lost marks because I used ‘mankind'' in my assignment, and I referred to a car I owned as ‘she is my pride and joy'.''

A science student also lost marks for using "mankind'' in an essay about the philosophy of scientific method.

"I lost 10 marks - it's such a stupid thing to be marked down for,'' the student said.
