Torrance High School Teachers: Preferred Pronouns and "There Are Too Many White People"

Two months, I spoke with a student named W. G. (name hidden to protect his identity and his family.)

He shared with me about another bad teacher in Torrance Unified School District.

W.G. reported the following:

"An art teacher [Aja De La Rosa] wanted you to write your pronouns on a piece of paper."

Teachers are now asking for students' preferred pronouns. Really!

"And then she was sharing personal stories about herself, about her daughter was transitioning gender at a very young age. Her daughter wanted to become a male."

Why are teachers sharing this stuff with their students in the classroom? Why is this happening at Torrance High School.

Then W.G. told us about his English teacher:

Her name is Marianne Pignotti:



W.G. then had this to share:

"Then there was my English teacher. She had six poster boards. Each poster board had another poster board behind it. So they weren't exactly put on the walls. She then, out of the blue, started talking about these posters, and she pulls them out. And she's apologizing because they're all white males."

WHAT?!

"And I promise you, not a single student in that classroom looked at her posters, and said 'Oh Wow! They're all white.' That wasn't even a thought until she brought it up."

So, Pignotti is pushing racism in her classroom, specifically anti-white racism. There is no room for such bigotry in the classroom. NONE!

"She then said that Hollywood needs to start making movies with more people of color. And I'm thinking to myself: 'Hey! I am a fan of "Fast and Furious." And I know the main character, Dom, is not fully white. And I never personally thought, "Hey, I wonder what race that guy is."'"

This is the kind of bigotry and hate which has become commonplace in government schools, and this is not Los Angeles Unified or San Francisco.

This kind of hateful indoctrination is taking place in Torrance Unified, too! This is outrageous!

For the entire interview that I conducted with this student, see the link below:

In the Beginning, God Discriminated

I received this tweet earlier today:
I was writing about the fact that people in this country are getting tired of being reminded, prodded, shamed, and reprimanded about the so-called hardships of "transgendered people".

Seriously, why are we expected to feel sorry for people who are in bondage to a mental disorder, and then insist that the rest of us should feel sorry every year? This idea of "Transgender Visibility Day" is absolute nonsense.

In fact, when parents are molding their children to change their sex, it's nothing more than child abuse!

So, this pro-tranny activist shamed me because of how discriminatory I was. She wanted to bring God into the mix, and she/he/it (who knows!) made it seem as though my thoughts on denouncing transgenderism were unbiblical, unholy, unkind.

Well, she ought to open the Bible, and she will find that In the Beginning, God Discriminated!

First, let's provide the defintion of discrimination:

"recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another."

Granted, there is another definition which touches on prejudicial or preferential treatment for one category or thing versus another, but let's focus on the main definition provided above.

In the Beginning, God Discriminated.

Consider the first verse of the Bible:

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)



God created, no one else did. God created the heavens and the earth. When the earth became without form and void (following the fall of Satan and one third of the angels), God would clear distinguish, or discriminate between the heavens and the earth again:

"6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." (Genesis 1:6-8)

Notice that God divided the waters, so that the heavens and the earth would emerge as distinct entities. That's the essence of discrimination.

Before separating the earth and the heavens among the waters, God brought forth Light:

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." (Genesis 1:3-4)

God literally said "Light Be", and light was. This Light is not the sun, but His Son, Jesus. As He declared during His earthly ministry:

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (John 8:12)

At any rate, light stands out clearly and starkly from the darkness: more discrimination. There is darkness, and there is light. Light is called to be the focal point, as well. God is light, after all, and in Him is no darkness whatsoever (cf 1 John 1:5)

There one sees both types of discrimination. God gives precedence to the Light over the darkness, not just merely distinguishes the light from the darkness.

And that's the way it should be:

"17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;" (Colossians 1:17-19)

In the beginning, God discriminated.

He distinguished heaven and earth. He distinguished light from darkness. He created fish from the sea, mammals from the earth, as well as grass and herbs.

He then created man, and He created man in His likeness or image (Genesis 1:26-28).



Man is qualitatively different from all the other creation.

Why, because God said: "31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." (Genesis 1:31)

When God made man, He declared His work finished (another discrimination, finished before unfinished), and He called all of it "Very good" as opposed to "good."

These distinctions are fundamental, essential, and inescapable.

In the Beginning, God Discriminated, and It was Good. It was Very Good.

Hell Freezes Over: Washington Post Stands with Sarah Huckabee, Not Red Hen Haters

Even the Washington Post has some level-headed editors.

Then again, the Washington (Com)post probably realizes that all this anti-Trump animus is only helping the President, his supporters, and their agenda.


OVER THE WEEKEND there was a fair bit of argument about the decision by a small restaurant in Lexington, Va., not to serve dinner to President Trump’s press secretary. It wasn’t the first time recently that strong political feelings have spilled into what used to be considered the private sphere. We understand the strength of the feelings, but we don’t think the spilling is a healthy development.

"Fair bit" is fairly off. This discrimination is unjust and needlessly divisive. Granted, any private establishment can choose whom they choose and do not choose to serve, but prospective customers locally and nationally can choose not to go there--and they can inform others not to go there, either.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was dining with a few other people at the Red Hen in Lexington Friday night. Several of the restaurant’s staff are gay and objected to Ms. Sanders’s defense of Mr. Trump’s discriminatory policies against transgender people. The staff also objected to the administration’s recent actions leading to the separation of thousands of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Respecting her staff’s wishes, the restaurant owner politely asked Ms. Sanders to leave, and Ms. Sanders politely acceded. She then tweeted about the episode, turning it into a public controversy.

Actually, she didn't dine at the Red Hen. She wasn't allowed to since the owners and the staffer took a vote to have her leave. Notice that the "gay" people working at the restaurant wanted her to leave, too. Where's the tolerance? I thought that "Love Trumps Hate". For the left, tolerance has never been a two-way street. Ever.

This followed by a few days the very public heckling of two architects of that border policy, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, at Washington restaurants. Last month a Nebraska sociology professor was found guilty of vandalism for spraying false blood at the home of a National Rifle Association lobbyist in Alexandria.

The violence of the left, but I repeat myself. The whole "left-wing" ideology is predicated on violence instead of voluntary exchange of ideas. The left-right dynamic emerged during the French Revolution. From the Jacobins to the Robespierres to his sick followers, violence played a large role in their political economy. Use force at every turn as an appropriate means to demand fulfillment of their radical vision of equality.

It’s not a new tactic for protesters of one sort or another to target a public official’s home or private life. But never-at-rest social media have blurred the line between work hours and private time. Cellphone cameras make it ever easier to intrude and broadcast.

Private time, private life, and a general lack of privacy also defines the left. They don't know a difference between civilian, secular living and political activism. Like radical Muslims enforcing Sharia over aspect of life, these insane anti-social injustice warriors will to go every length possible to shut down dissent.

They are in full derangement mode only because they know that they are losing the fight, and even the crappy, corrupt lamestream media cannot help them.

Most obviously, passions are running high. Those who defend the Red Hen staff, or Ms. Nielsen’s hecklers, say this is no ordinary policy dispute. Mr. Trump has ordered terrible violations of human rights at the border, he is demonizing immigrants by his actions and his rhetoric, and people need to speak up however they can.

There is nothing terrible or horrific about the orders to secure our borders and protect American sovereignty. This is beyond ludicrous, delusional, laughable. Even though this editorial is supposed to defend Press Secretary Sanders, the writers will still fight against Trump.

They will get no argument from us regarding Mr. Trump’s border policy, and when it comes to coarsening the debate, he is the prime offender. The poisonous fruits could be seen, as it happens, Saturday morning in a vile tweet from Ms. Sanders’s father, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, that associated House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, with the vicious MS-13 gang.

President Trump is not the offender. The Red Hen owners are the henpeckers who snubbed Sanders and family.

We nonetheless would argue that Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace. Those who are insisting that we are in a special moment justifying incivility should think for a moment how many Americans might find their own special moment. How hard is it to imagine, for example, people who strongly believe that abortion is murder deciding that judges or other officials who protect abortion rights should not be able to live peaceably with their families?

Good question. Abortion is murder. Protecting our borders from murder is a life-affirming action to ensure that our nation survives into the future.

Down that road lies a world in which only the most zealous sign up for public service. That benefits no one.

Reflection

During the 2012 Election primary, Newt Gingrich sharply criticized John King for bringing up the trashy ABC interview with his second wife about an open marriage proposal. He slammed the destructive, vicious nature of the media, which has made it more difficult to governor the country and made it harder for good people to run for office. Who wants to put up with the 24-7 relentless abuse of mad mob crowds looking to damage people's life, property, and reputation--all in the name of social protest.



I am not sure that the answer to this increasing conflict is to force businesses to serve everyone. I do believe, however, that conservatives need to keep up the fight of "punching back twice as hard." These people on the left will never learn until they fully absorb the consequences of their disastrous policies. These private establishments think they can bully and pick on people who don't agree with them? How will they like it if it's done to them?

And that is precisely what is happening. Donald Trump has provided the cover and the example for everyday people to follow in fighting back against the corrupt and the evil Deep State of Washington DC. Sarah Sanders handled the abuse against her very effectively. She was not rude, but she did expose the rude, abusive behavior of the restaurant. People around the country had responded accordingly.
