DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion;

Why do democrats always have to make everything so complicated? When I  first heard of DEI my first thought was oh %#$@ what 'feel good' nonsense have they come up with now? When I was in kindergarten we were taught to say things like 'please' and 'thank you'. We were taught that in group activities it was important to 'take your turn'. No pushing, no shoving, respect everyone, treat other people the same way you would want to be treated. Is there anything in that teaching that is exclusionary? Why do democrats always find subtle, and not so subtle, ways to separate us by race, gender, and any other way they can think of? 

What makes one group less deserving of respect than another? Of course we also taught boys to let girls go first, open doors for them, and show them respect in other ways. It didn't occur to me then but democrat teachers must have hated that. We were taught to be courteous and try to build friendly relationships with our fellow students. I have no idea why that wouldn't work today. Except that democrats have finally found a way to permanent divide America; gender identity. There is a large number of Americans who will never accept the idea that a person's gender is a matter of choice. We were not assigned a gender at birth we given a medical examination and that determined if we were a boy or a girl. That's it and a lot of people in this country are understandably offended by the idea that they have to be forced to accept the idea that a person's gender can be changed because it can't. 

Whatever a person thinks they are in reality we are all either female or male. Medical science is very clear about that. A person can think whatever they want, but some things cannot be changed. Some 'scientists' say that science is never 'settled', that there is nothing in science that can be counted on with absolute certainty, but that's really not true. Mountain climbers prove it pretty regularly. If you fall off a cliff and the distance is sufficient you are going to die. Decapitations rarely result in a successful reattachment of the head that results in the decapitated person returning to life. Every search I've conducted has concluded that a person who has had their head separated from their body never can be resuscitated. If you are born a male you will remain a male for the rest of your life. That is what DEI is really about. Actually at least two things are on the DEI agenda; gender can be changed and white people need to be punished for their white privilege. Especially if you are a white male. 

What we need to teach kids in school in addition to being able to read and add and subtract they need to know how to behave in a group setting. Basic manners. Be polite. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Don't steal (although a lot of democrats probably see this one as a church/state issue), don't hit anyone. It's really not complicated. We can teach kids not to make fun of Danny if he wears a dress to school and has ribbons in his hair, but we cannot teach them to use the pronouns, she or hers, when addressing him because he is not a girl and his parents need to explain that to him. What every traditions they have at home are fine, but they cannot impose those traditions onto other people who don't believe the way they do. If Danny wants to explain why he wants to be called a girl that's ok, but when classmates refuse to go along Danny has to drop it and just accept the idea that he is different. His parents could help with that too, but that is not why we pay teachers. 

Teachers must set the example for kids so they learn how to respect each other and creating conflict will not help accomplish that goal. It would be great if democrats could be honest, but the idea of honesty is lost on them. I've heard way too many of them defend their dishonest positions by claiming that everybody lies about something. That may be true, but it is not something we should be encouraging. We should be holding everyone to the higher standard that says everyone should be honest about their dealings and that lying is something that caused a lack of trust among individuals. A person who lies then tries to defend the lie is not a person to be associated with. Honor is important. 

The core philosophy of DEI teaching is dishonest and teaches kids to be dishonest. There is no way I can ever condone such a philosophy being taught in our schools whether they are public or private. One of the things I've been taught from the day I was born was that honor is to be valued as one of the most important traits a person can cultivate. I was actually raised in a "Death before Dishonor" tradition. For some people that's a little extreme, for democrats it's unthinkable, but honor needs to hold a very high place in our society. Liars should never be celebrated, people of honor should always be respected and sought after. So-called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion teaching should be abolished from all of our elementary school and our public high schools.
