As long as it's 164700 low income kids or kids of color they would see that as a feature, not a bug. Decrease the surplus population

Traffickers actually hide children in your mask, making you unknowingly traffic them

PeterCat posted:Got this one texted from my dad. As of last week 90 children in the US had died from COVID-19. Since there are about 74 million children in the US, that implies that roughly one in thirteen US children (6 million) is sold to human traffickers. Which I don't need to add is absurd. I thought I'd share the math, since I went to the trouble of finding the numbers.

Given that a major portion of people who believe in a insane epidemic on the greatest scale of child trafficking also believe that a high-up in the Pentagon/JFK Jr./Trump himself is leaking the secrets of the Illuminati/Pedophiles Inc., it wouldn't surprise me that they would think the government/deep state is trafficking 6 million children to harvest their adrenochrome or whatever it is. The belief system has become totally divorced from reality.

The universe where the young gal with a resemblance to AOC goes mask-less while the seemingly older gal in the Jazzy who would most likely be wearing a "He can grab me by the pussy Trump 2020!" shirt in our universe is the one upset over someone else not wearing a mask.

The belief system has become totally divorced from reality. Even if they don't go full Qanon with it, the general population seems to think trafficking takes the form that Taken presents: anywhere, at any time, your precious daughter can (and will) be snatched up by a threateningly-ethnic gang, shoved into a shipping container, and shipped out of the country to be sold personally to a billionaire. Which, uh, isn't how actual human trafficking tends to work, but that's our collective myth. That's how you get non-Q-adjacent people buying into the Wayfair panic and #savethechildren - they genuinely mean well, but they buy into a mythology where an unusually-highly-priced cabinet must mean there is a crying child shoved inside.

I think the only thing QAnon has over the general population's belief is that QAnon thinks it happens way, way more often than normies do (Which is generally still higher than reality, but its not "400,000 kid per year" high).

My aunt must have gotten tired of the entire family yelling at her for posting covid-quackery (Here's another homeopathic doctor who claims they treated their patients with substance X and they recovered!!!!) and has switched to child abduction and grooming stuff. I'm just sitting here, crossing my fingers that it doesn't lead to some QAnon stuff, which she is absolutely gullible enough to be taken in by.

I guess I should probably ask the Q thread, but are there good resources for proving this stuff is Q related? So far she's only reblogged stuff from organizations that a cursory source didn't show a link.

I don't recall any explicit Q mentions (full disclosure, I only half-listened to this while my wife had it playing in the room) but the podcast You're Wrong About does a good job of discussing why the "sex trafficking epidemic" is anything but. https://frontpageconfidential.com/youre-wrong-about-podcast-takes-aim-at-human-trafficking/

NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Listen to the young people, F-this, F-that, and nary anyone will step up and correct them - even with wife and kids in tow! FINALLY someone in the teaching had the courage !! By Dennis Prager. To The Students And Faculty Of Our High School: I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people. I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country. First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values -- E pluribus unum, "from many, one." And this school will be guided by America's values. This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness. Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you. Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -- but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school. Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school. Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the f -word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "friend of the family," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene. Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight. Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue... There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately fortunate -- to be alive and to be an American. Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

Medullah posted:NEW HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Why wouldn't a school teach children about how the food and drugs they consume can have negative consequences for their health? I'm also laughing at the idea that "art" isn't intrinsically connected to the cultural background of the people making it. What does American art look like if it's not Hollywood, Hip Hip, and Rock and Roll?

I'm especially tickled that gender or racial identity clubs are framed as narcissistic but clubs based on one's own passions or interests are not. How selfish, sharing your history, cultural traditions, and unique struggles with other individuals who empathize, don't you want to commune over piccolo or A/V tech from the 90s?

If a principal actually followed through with that conservatives would absolutely poo poo a brick and Rush Limbaugh would be running fundraisers to sue the school for banning Christian student organizations. The same people sharing that would call him a satanist and run him out of town
