Schooling is all about suppressing who a child is. It is about breaking them, teaching them to wait their turn, stand in and respect lines, and to accept thenidiocy of society.

Comfortable in being who they are? U mean juvenile human beings? That’s who they are, right? I’m guessing most every school can succeed in that without addressing sexual orientation.

But liberals set the stage for this with their own approach to the world As I have said over and over…..it might feel good to liberals to make some point today, but what happens when it is turned back on you All this cancel culture nonsense created by liberals is divisive and making us ruthless toward each other. Liberals have normalized nasty… Well at least you agree it’s an “overreaction”. But of course you manage to blame liberals: “you made us become irrational!!” The problem with your approach here is that at least 5 other people here who share your conservative political convictions have posted that this is exactly what they want in reply to my question. They don’t regard it as an “overreaction”; this is their goal. Kind of hard to blame liberals when that is the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty racy stuff really as the same sex but different specie charactures frolick together. Snow White lived with seven men and can be seen sexually exciting one who is cognitively impaired. Mulan was a cross dresser. Many of their films feature witchcraft but perhaps the most disturbing is Alladin who uses magic to stalk a hottie. OOH! OOH! Beauty and Beast glorifies beastiality.

I wouldn't care if it was a movie that featured a religious person, which is basically what we are talking about here - a kid movie that happened to have a gay character. The gay character and woke themes was the whole purpose of the selection. I hope this lady does not teach class by showing movies everyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
