An Eastvale mother is furious after discovering a video showing her daughter’s preschool teacher leading a political chant in which the 4 and 5-year-old students were calling for President Joe Biden to leave office.

“I was just in shock,” said Christina McFadden, who told Eyewitness News the video was posted on a school messaging app that is used to communicate with parents. The incident allegedly happened on Feb. 18 at Turning Point Christian School in the city of Norco.

“I had to watch it multiple times to realize, is this really happening?” McFadden said.

The video lasts only about eight seconds. You can hear a teacher asking the students, “Who’s our President.” The students then respond in unison, “Biden!” The teacher then asks the students “What do we want to do with him?” and the students respond twice, “We want him out!”

McFadden said when she picked up her daughter from school that afternoon, one of the first things she referenced was the chant.

“The first thing she said to me when I picked her up was ‘We want him out,'” said McFadden. “That was the great message she learned that day. Her first history lesson.”

McFadden said the video was removed from the messaging app about three hours after it was first posted. In its place, a school administrator left a message for the families to whom the video was sent:

“We use Brightwheel as a parent communication app to share about your child’s day and activities. Earlier today a video was posted that has since been deleted as it did not share our school and church philosophy of honoring and respecting authority including those in government positions,” the message said.

The message continued, “We are sorry for any misunderstanding this could of (sic) created. With courtesy towards the families of our campus and the children in the classroom I am asking you to please not share with others or post the video on any social media platform.”

Eyewitness News reached out to Turning Point Christian School by phone and email and did not immediately receive a response. It’s unclear what, if any, disciplinary action was taken against the teacher.

Dr. Tyrone Howard, a professor of education at UCLA, said he doesn’t feel what was shown in the video is appropriate behavior by the teacher.

“I’ve always believed the role of teachers is not to indoctrinate students about what to think,” said Howard. “It’s to help develop critical thinking skills so students can make their own decisions.”

“I know private schools operate under a different set of guidelines and procedures,” Howard continued. “But I don’t know even in a private domain that those leadership officials would want teachers telling their students what to think about a particular political figure.”

McFadden said the school did not tell her whether the teacher was disciplined, only saying she had been “repentant” and had learned from her mistake. She only posted the video online, after blurring everyone’s faces, when she didn’t feel the school’s response was adequate.

“It doesn’t matter, at this point, which side of the fence you’re on. This can happen in your child’s classroom, and it is happening,” said McFadden.

The right is desperate to have their Covid boogieman back.  They built up such a hatred for a public servant whose job was only to advise to the best of his ability.   Now that the need for that advice has diminished Dr Fauci is less in the news and the right can not use him to distract, misinform, and rile up their base.

I do get tired of going over the same things.   Her chemistry levels are with in specs for a woman.  She was getting beat by other women but that doesn’t get much press.   She has put in the time and effort to get good at her craft, which is swimming.   Some people just excel at their sport, and others do not.   Women have been under the accusation of being too manly since women’s sports started.   I posted that this morning as I was getting up.   What about the woman runner that was so good she was breaking records, there were claims she was really a man and other crap.   She was born a woman and because she was really good she was accused of being a man?   What does that say about how women’s sports and the women in them are really seen? 

Chip Bok Comic Strip for March 19, 2022

Lia Thomas came in 5th in a race yesterday. Seems average to me.   This is something that the right likes to hide and only stress the wins so it seems the trans people are sweeping every event in women’s sports.  But that is a lie. 

The number of people that get sexual reassignment surgery is extremely small as a percentage of the population. The number that participate in sports is even smaller. It’s certainly nt a problem that needs to be addressed in Congress or in the state legislatures. Let the governing bodies of the various sports address it.

Nebulous 

A) If you’re not good enough to be competitive on the men’s team, you’re sure not going to be making records on the women’s team. There’s not THAT much difference in most sports.

B) Would anybody actually believe that a jock would want to become a woman and draw the ire of conservative homophobes and transphobes merely because he’s not the top man on the team?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

OldCoal 

So show me this line of young men eager for surgery or chemical castration so they can compete in women’s sports!

And you can’t. You can’t because it doesn’t exist. A tiny handful of people on hormones or who’ve had surgery want to compete and that’s a national issue because Tucker and his buddies say it is. Why?

Their usual whine is “gender assigned at birth”. Yet the briefest possible glance at Caspar Semenya’s Wikipedia page clearly says HER gender assigned at birth was female, and she’s never taken hormone therapy of any kind. But SHE has issues being allowed to compete.

I’m sure she’s grateful to all you Qubs. /s

And, just to get the rest of the story:

THIS is what Qublicans usually cite about cisgender sport:

ally includes suppressing testosterone levels and boosting estrogen.

The research was carried out by Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and associate professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and his colleagues. They found that trans women who underwent hormone therapy for one year continued to outperform non-transgender women, also known as cisgender women, though the gap largely closed after two years. But even then, trans women still ran 12% faster.

HOWEVER they leave off this part (usual Qub partial quotes) :

Roberts, however, suggested the difference in running times needs additional perspective. “It was a 12% advantage after two years in run times. But to be in the top 10% of female runners, you have to be 29% faster than the average woman. And to be an elite runner, you’ve got to be 59% faster than the average cis woman,” he told DW.

 

I posted the audio of an oil executive saying the wouldn’t increase production because right now the profits are too great.  They are price gouging and they are proud of it.   It doesn’t matter any more who gets hurt in the pursuit of the almighty profit.

Drone footage shows damaged shopping mall and residential buildings in Mariupol

These are civilian targets and civilian lives the Russian military if targeting. The only reason to do this is terror. To terrorize the people into giving up. To terrorize the people into leaving so the Russians can move in. Notice the Russians are not hitting big business and infrastructure. They need that to make money to pay back the war effort. They need the Ukrainian economy to fix the broken Russian one.

Seems not all the Russian people are with Putin and are protesting where they can. I imagine they are going to be in trouble with Putin when they come back to earth.

Reading the comments on this cartoon was enlightening.   Every tenth comment explained that the report did not say that.   Every tenth comment explained what the report said, and how it differed from the right wing narrative.   Then after the comment that explained things there was a rash of right wing misinformation posted as the real true story and then the insults.  That is what the right wing is today.

Man Who Says Gays Are Controlled By Demonic Spirits Complains About “Intolerance To Different Viewpoints”

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins:

Kristen Waggoner doesn’t get usually get nervous. As one of Alliance Defending Freedom’s top attorneys, she’s argued before the Supreme Court, tackled high-profile cases, and spoken in front of her share of hostile crowds. But something about her visit to Yale University Law School last week felt different. “I can count on about one hand when I get really anxious before something.”

This was one of those moments. Walking into a room filled with a raging student mob didn’t just mean she was in danger — it meant the culture of free speech in higher education was on the verge of complete collapse. But obviously, the students at Yale were never taught about the free exchange of ideas, because the minute Waggoner was introduced, the crowd rose in unison — yelling and holding vile signs about ADF.

When the moderator, a Yale professor, tried to control the situation — reminding students about the campus’s rule to let speakers be heard — the crowd turned on her. As a nation — and the education revolution we’re witnessing is part of this — we have to get back to promoting the free exchange of ideas.

The quote in the headline of this post comes from Perkins’ interview below with Waggoner. The clip is cued up to that moment.

Josh Mandel Calls Opponent “Pussy” In Near Fist-Fight

These are statesmen?   This is what passes as reasonable people for the US congress?   This is what the Republican party has devolved into.   Thugs.   Hyper aggressive and quick to anger.   Threaten violence to get what you want.   The people that voted for tRump love this as they run on emotion.  They don’t think things out, they yell and scream.  

The right wing Washington Examiner reports:

Ohio Republican Senate candidates Josh Mandel and Mike Gibbons nearly came to blows during a candidate forum Friday evening. Mandel, a former state treasurer and an early front-runner in the race, has targeted Gibbons in recent weeks in the contentious and competitive Republican primary.

At a GOP candidate forum organized by FreedomWorks, Mandel claimed that Gibbons made “billions of dollars” shipping Ohio businesses to China. Gibbons disputed the claim, saying Mandel “never worked in the private sector.”

Mandel then jumped up and stood inches from Gibbons, yelling that he served two tours in Iraq. “Don’t tell me I haven’t worked,” Mandel said.

The Huffington Post reports:

“You’re dealing with the wrong guy,” said Mandel, the race’s evangelical-backed candidate, after a heated exchange about Gibbons’ business interests in China, seemingly mumbling under his breath: “You watch what happens. Pussy.”

Making the incident all the more disturbing, the two men are the current front-runners in the primary to replace Republican Sen. Rob Portman, who is retiring. It underscores just how intense Ohio’s primary has gotten and the extreme plays the candidates are willing to make to get Donald Trump’s attention.

The moderator intervened just as Vance urged them: “Guys, sit down. C’mon. God damn. This is ridiculous.”
