First up we have pedophilia pornography making its way into at least one high school. The book in question is\u00a0Lawn Boy<\/em><\/a> by Jonathan Evison. Amazon’s site lists an editorial review from School Library Journal that describes the book thusly;<\/p>\n

Eminently readable and deeply thought-provoking, Evison’s deceptively simple novel takes on tough issues such as race, sexual identity, and the crushing weight of American capitalism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds like a great book for kids. The “crushing weight of\u00a0American <\/strong><\/em>capitalism”? No wonder kids are ashamed of or triggered by the American flag.<\/p>\n

This is not to be confused with (or maybe intentionally designed to be confused with)\u00a0Lawn Boy<\/em><\/a> by Gary Paulsen. Paulsen’s book came out in 2007 while Evison’s came out in 2018. Paulsen’s story is apparently a short, easy read for teens and is an unashamed endorsement of capitalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe Sucked Eachother\u2019s D***s\u201d \u2013 Mother Reads Sexually Explicit School Book To Board Members<\/h3>\n

A concerned mother brought a school book to her school board to address the sexual harassment and vulgar language that is being pushed on her children.<\/p>\n

This specific book references 10-year old fourth-graders engaging in homosexual actions and using language like \u201chis little salamander between my fourth-grade fingers rapidly engorging with blood\u201d.<\/p>\n

It also used the word \u201cf*ck\u201d 44 times and \u201csh*t\u201d 41 times before page 66, according to the mom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, the toll that climate change alarmism has on our youth. You’ll recall that for 50+ years now there have been dire, cataclysmic predictions about the Earth’s dwindling natural resources, impending global catastrophe, and blame for changes global weather patterns being laid on people and our modern conveniences. Why anyone would keep listening to people who are so consistently wrong that they have a flawless track record of being wrong is beyond me. I mean, it’s like a person following Joe Biden’s advice on foreign policy. There’s a 100% track record of failure behind them, so just do the opposite of what they predict and you’ll win!<\/p>\n

Here are some snippets of climate alarmists’ predictions<\/a> and how insanely wrong they were. Literal Chicken Littles. Some of these people, such as original and perennially wrong climate soothsayer Paul Ehrlich, are still\u00a0<\/em>sought out by, and propped up by, the media as experts. If your surgeon killed every single patient they opened up, would you still want him to remove your appendix?<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise then that kids indoctrinated into the fear that their world is doomed to failure and there’s nothing they can do to help it have a pessimistic outlook on their futures.<\/p>\n

56 Percent of Young People Think Humanity Is Doomed<\/h3>\n

Ironically, 56 percent of those over 40 would also think humanity is doomed, but only because 56 percent of our kids can’t see that they are living in, by every single objective measure, the greatest time to be alive in all of human history.<\/p>\n

Lichen, an 18-year-old living in Hawaii, used to worry about the end of the world, but lately that doesn\u2019t feel all that distant. Now, they\u2019re simply worried about what\u2019s next. And it\u2019s a worry that is affecting nearly half of the world\u2019s young people.<\/p>\n

According to what its authors say is the world\u2019s largest ever study into young people\u2019s fears about the climate crisis, 45 percent of 16-25-year-olds said climate-related anxiety and distress is affecting their daily lives and ability to function normally.<\/p>\n

Almost 60 percent of the 10,000 young people surveyed across 10 countries attributed this to their national governments, who they said were \u201cbetraying\u201d them and future generations through their inaction. Fifty-six percent of people surveyed said they agreed with the statement that humanity is doomed, while 75 percent said they believed the future was frightening.<\/p>\n

The study, published today in Lancet Planetary Health and led by academics and professionals at the University of Bath, Stanford Medicine Centre for Innovation in Global Health, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and others, found that people from countries more directly and immediately impacted by climate change tended to be more worried about the future. Ninety-two percent of young people in the Philippines said they felt like the future was frightening, compared to just 56 percent in Finland.<\/p>\n

But young people in the UK and the U.S. had less faith in their governments than countries like Nigeria and India. Only 28 percent and 21 percent of young Brits and Americans thought the government could be trusted when it came to the planet \u2013 whereas 51 percent of Indians had faith in the authorities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We have that going for us, I suppose. The government’s never met a problem they couldn’t make worse, so I’m glad to see our kids are skeptical.<\/p>\n
