Trans Rights Activist: Says Girls Seeing a Penis in Their Locker Room Is No Big Deal

Thu, 2024-02-22 19:00 +0000

Molly Brennan of Weare, NH testified in a hearing in the NH House Education Committee against HB1205, a bill to protect women’s and girls’ sports, on January 29.

In her testimony, Molly said:

The safety issue here isn’t … that [someone’s cis daughter] is going to be ruined for life by seeing a trans girl’s penis in the locker room. In fact, statistically, that won’t be the first penis she sees.

Watch her testimony below.

That reminded me of this quote from Alok Vaid-Menon. an “internationally renowned gender non-conforming writer and performance artist” who was featured in a presentation hosted at Pinkerton Academy in Derry a few years ago.

The narrative is that transgender people will come into bathrooms and abuse little girls. The supposed ‘purity’ of the victims has remained stagnant. There are no princesses. Little girls are also kinky. Your kids aren’t as straight and narrow as you think.

If you are concerned about boys in girls’ sports and girls’ locker rooms please contact the NH House Education Committee and ask them to vote Ought To Pass on HB1205.

WARNING: State Take Over of Private, Religious and Home-Schools if HB1610 Becomes Law!

Thu, 2024-02-22 17:00 +0000

IMPORTANT: OPPOSE HB1610: This bill requires all students to participate in standardized statewide assessments.

Make no mistake about this one: if this legislation is passed, it essentially allows the GOVT/STATE to control our private, religious, and home schools. HOW? By making the children who receive EFA funds take the STATE Standardized Test.

The Education Freedom Account (EFA) is one of the current school choice programs in NEW Hampshire. It would mean that children who use the school choice (EFA) money to go to a private, religious, or home school would be forced to take the STATE Standardized test.

THIS IS A THREAT TO EVERY PRIVATE, RELIGIOUS, and HOME-SCHOOL family in New Hampshire!!
It MUST be STOPPED!

Currently, students who participate in the school choice program(EFA) can take the standardized test offered at their private, religious, or home school. This legislation would change that. All of these EFA students would have to take the STATE standardized test, which is COMMON CORE ALIGNED.

In Indiana and Ohio, when children used their vouchers to attend private and religious schools and were forced to take the STATE standardized test, those schools began aligning their curriculum to Common Core. This is a de facto takeover of our private and religious schools!

There is NO authentic choice if everything is Common Core!! There is NO freedom of CHOICE when the STATE forces its Standardized TEST on the kids using the EFA program to attend a private, religious, or home school.

EVERY PARENT who utilizes the EFA program for their children NEEDS to attend this hearing! Their children already take a standardized test given by their private or religious school. They do NOT need to take the dumbed-down Common Core assessment.

LOOK at the ten dumbest Common Core math problems here. The private, religious, and home-school families will be forced to teach Common Core math. We already have a crisis of illiteracy in math and science !! This will only get worse.
