Reply to comment by _puppyro in The new "district approved" stickers that Hanover teachers have to use because rainbows aren't allowed by Awrnawr

You got it in the last part.

To them, simply acknowledging the statement to “protect trans kids” is effectively “shoving sexuality down their throats” and “turning” them trans. Just by teaching about those differences or discussing it is, apparently, “grooming” them.

It’s absolute nonsense, but you really can’t talk sense into someone who believes that stuff to begin with.

I was taught to pray the gay away. All that taught me was to hate myself for 10 years and pretend to be straight when I clearly wasn’t.

Edit: a word

Man, I feel so bad for grade school kids, I barely just escaped when the pandemic hit. We're snowflakes bc we want to be treated like humans, but they can't handle a rainbow sticker that says SafeSpace... Right

They literally see queer people being happy and get mad, jealousy much? Lol

Yesterday, Henrico County Public Schools posted a "Yay of the Day" picture yesterday with a teacher from Highland Springs School who was wearing a "protect trans kids" shirt.

As we can predict, several commenters were livid. They dragged their BS religious excuses into it and said that HCPS was grooming children. It's "against their religion" to refer to a child in a gender that they weren't born with, one said.

They can't point to a Bible verse that even says that, unless they're going as literal to call it a "lie," but they'll sure as hell make it sound like it's in there.

God I hate people, that teacher looks like a really lovely man and I'm sure his students absolutely adore him.

Lol that shirt is cringe, surely he can change into this outfit after school before going to whatever protest he's going to. Just let school be school, jeez o wheez. Not sure what he's trying to accomplish. I wish people would just shut the fuck up and let the kids learn. People need to touch some grass, get off the cable news and internet.
