If this teacher isn''t fired she should be

[ripvanwinkle]

This is appalling!! A retired teacher friend of mine sent me this. If she has not been fired she should be! She should not be around kids. Perverted.

So no teacher is actually named doing this. No school, location nothing and then he talks about Rainbow clubs in LA with no proof either.

This is a guy with a history of taking things out of context and makes up stories for his listeners like many other RW pundits. You have an odd reaction to a fake story. Do you believe the perennial fake story in RW circles about litter boxes in schools too?



en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Starnes


In October 2019, he was fired from Fox News and all affiliates after he endorsed the notion that American Democrats worship a pagan god, Moloch.[3][4]


In 2003, when employed by the Baptist Press, Starnes misquoted U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige from an interview.[10] The interview spawned national headlines and several members of Congress called on Paige to resign over comments on religion and the public schools.[citation needed] Ultimately, the Baptist Press issued an apology noting "factual and contextual errors" and "misrepresentations" made by Starnes and saying that he "no longer will be employed to write for the Baptist Press".[11]


Meanwhile in RL, there are only .4 % of Americans who even identify as pagan or Wicca. How I know your story is fake? The usual lack of details and actual research and verification. No school is named, no parents or school board interviewed and quoted. Just a fear mongering story meant to rile people who hate LGBTQ. If this was real, do you not think it would be in the news somewhere with names, dates, places, and school administration and school board members commenting on it?  Would Todd Starnes really protect this imaginary person if this had happened? 

Were you and your teacher friend so triggered about the imaginary closet and cupcakes you did not notice no verifiable facts were in this story at all?

I thought it was going to be about the public high school principal that punished a student for dancing at an off campus party.

A high school senior in Louisiana was stripped of her student government president title and scholarship opportunities after a video circulating on social media showed the 17-year-old girl dancing with friends at a party last week.

Kaylee Timonet, a senior at Walker high school, was seen dancing at a private homecoming afterparty on 30 September, behind a friend who was twerking. Earlier this week, the school principal said he would revoke her leadership role and assistance in scholarship applications.

“They basically told me that I should be ashamed of myself,” Timonet told a local news outlet. “That I wasn’t basically following God’s ideals, which made me cry even more.”

I’ve thought a few times about posting about this wench. Especially after a horrible conversation at work about it, where a male coworker tried to place some of the blame on the boys, saying they knew what they were doing. I ended up having to walk away from the conversation, because I wanted to punch him. At the time, for whatever reason, we were thinking the first victim that was known about was 14yo when she started having sex with him. I don’t recall any ages of the children being reported in anything I’ve read, until the link above.

Anyway, this happened an hour or so from where I live. I know and regularly talk to someone who lives there and whose grandchild goes to the school this teacher was working at when the story came out.

The person I know says that the wench’s husband is a police officer and he is the one that originally turned his wife in, after seeing texts in her phone. He was looking through her phone because he either knew she had cheated before, or suspected she was cheating at the time, I can’t remember which. But if he’s a decent person, I’m sure he was shocked to discover she was having sex with children. And if it’s true that her husband turned her in, I’m glad he did the right thing. The area is some small towns close to each other, so it might all just be small town gossip, or it could be true. I haven’t seen it in any of the news articles I’ve read about it.

She was told not to have contact with any minors, except her own children, after she was arrested the first time. She did it anyway, contacting one of her victims on Snapchat and threatened him. From what I read in the last local news article about it, the phone call in the link above, was a “controlled setup” or worded something like that, that took place after the child and his Mother reported that she had contacted him through Snapchat and they were preparing to arrest her again.

Here is a link.

She is a horrible person. Idk that she would’ve made it to jail if it was my child. I might have been the one going to jail.

Please-no one reply to this post. I don't want Rip's opinion influenced by anyone else's opinion. I only want Rip's opinion.

If Rip thought the article in his opening post was bad, maybe he should read this.  This article has actual names and places.  Article is from 1998.

'98 Homosexual-Recruitment Drive Nearing Goal

SAN FRANCISCO—Spokespersons for the National Gay & Lesbian Recruitment Task Force announced Monday that more than 288,000 straights have been converted to homosexuality since Jan. 1, 1998, putting the group well on pace to reach its goal of 350,000 conversions by the end of the year.



"Thanks to the tireless efforts of our missionaries nationwide, in the first seven months of 1998, nearly 300,000 heterosexuals were ensnared in the Pink Triangle," said NGLRTF co-director Patricia Emmonds. "Clearly, the activist homosexual lobby is winning."

Emmonds credited much of the recruiting success to the gay lobby's infiltration of America's public schools, where programs promoting the homosexual lifestyle are regularly presented to children as young as 5.

It's crucial that we reach these kids while they're still young," Emmonds said. "That's when they're most vulnerable to our message of sexual promiscuity and deviance."

"When I grow up, I want to be gay," said Christopher Linn, 8, a second-grader at Philadelphia's Lakeside Elementary School, one of thousands of public schools nationwide that actively promote the homosexual agenda. "I don't want to have a family or go to church."

"Straight people don't have any fun," said Teddy Nance, 11, after watching Breeders Are Boring!, an anti-heterosexual filmstrip, in his fifth-grade class at Crestwood Elementary School in Roanoke, VA. "Gay people get to do whatever they want."

In addition to school programs that target youths, the NGLRTF launched a $630 million advertising campaign this year in an effort to convert adults to homosexuality. The campaign, which features TV and radio spots, as well as print advertising in major national magazines, has helped convince thousands of people to leave their spouses and families for a life of self-gratification and irresponsibility.

Rip, your guy is a Faux news reporter that cites no actual sources.   Enough said.

[grumpyhermit]

You'll forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical of an unattributed video as the only proof of such a thing. If this teacher actually did this, why didn't they link directly to her social media? Both sides love a good pile on, and it seems odd they would miss the change to ruin this woman's whole life if she actually did this.

Also, the exercise and language used are a bit....on the nose. And present more as right-wing fear mongering talking points about how they think left leaning/LGBTQIA+ talk, than how they actually talk. The part that really lost me was the "no cupcake because they're just contributing to a hetero normative society".

I know a lot of very left, very queer people, and I can't think of any that would do that to a group of kids. Let alone post about it on social media.

I think its a RW propaganda video like the former Project Veritas. Like you said, if it was real, it wouldn't be hidden, so I think this was a custom-made video made solely to spread this story, so it appears real to some folks.

Rip - the article is 100% satire. And your reply is what I expected from you. Sadly, you did not disappointment me.

Did you look to see the name of the news site which wrote and published the article? Did you look to see where The Onion stands on credibility? Had you done so, you would have seen it is a satire site and not one word in the article is true.

While your linked article in the opening post is not satire, the article is full of trigger words which riled you up. No where in your linked article does it provide any actual information which would help readers determine for themselves if the article is factual and should be believed.

I hope you have learned something about yourself and what you believed in your linked article and mine. Investigate everything you read. Don't take anything at face value. The are publications out there trying to manipulate you and me. Don't fall for it.

ETA: The reason why I asked the other posters reading this thread not to comment on the subject matter in my post was because the are aware of The Onion and that it is satire.

Thank you posters for not commenting on my linked article to Rip. Your cooperation is much appreciated.

There's only one group that runs conversion programs, and it isn't the gays. Once again, we get right wing projection, it just never fails.

It should be physically painful to be as bigoted, hateful and racist as rip and others. Perhaps the negative consequences would make them think twice.

'I Was a Religious Zealot That Hurt People.' After Coming Out as Gay, a Former Conversion Therapy Leader Is Apologizing to the LGBTQ Community

Afounder and former leader of a South Carolina faith-based conversion therapy program has come out as gay.

McKrae Game, 51, is speaking out in a new interview after he announced he was gay in June, about two years after he was fired from Hope for Wholeness, the conversion therapy program he founded in 1999. Like other conversion therapy programs around the U.S., the program aimed to rid a person of their LGBTQ identity through counseling.

Game has disavowed the program’s practices since coming out publicly (though a biography still listed for him on Hope for Wholeness’s website claims he had “lived as a gay man for three years” before founding his ministry.)

“Conversion therapy is not just a lie, but it’s very harmful,” he told The Post and Courier. “Because it’s false advertising.”

Over the course of his career with Hope for Wholeness, Game was open about experiencing attraction to other men and wrote about his struggle with watching gay pornography. He was fired in November 2017, and said in a Facebook Live video posted on Tuesday that he believed his use of pornography led to being let go from the program.

I mean actual physical pain. Like the worst headache you could imagine, with no relief possible no matter what you do - until you open your mind and your heart to the fact that other peoples' sexual preferences/ skin color don't affect them personally.

No one is out there trying to convert children or heterosexuals to LGBTQ! That's just the right's made up story because they (the right) definitely DO try to "pray the gay away" so therefore members of the LGBTQ community must be doing the same in reverse. Right?
