The way our religion is taught and the way men teach women is to blame them the women that is. This is a male problem. Projecting sexuality onto innocent children. I'm so sick of this g****** father's rights trash. The fathers are the reason everything is going to h*** in a handbasket. They sold their souls for pornography and for licensuality. They left the mother's and I'm talking decades back. They're pornography and they're alcohol and their loose women and prostitutes. I don't know any woman who doesn't have tragedy in her background from her father Or a close male relative. The men have got to change. The problems with the women will resolve themselves when the men are right.

I often forget the horror's of public schools. I homeschool my 3. They are so innocent and pure still. We have 700 families in our co-op and all the kids are just so lovely and polite. I feel like homeschooling really has blessed our lives, we are so free and happy.

[@LeahBrooksJeremiahGardens]

I homeschooled mine in a similar situation and they have grown up well. However, several of the kids we took classes with are struggling in their 20s. They don’t stay innocent and pure forever. Homeschooling doesn’t save your kids - don’t be lulled into thinking that the wall will protect them. Lots of kids who acted ‘lovely and polite’ were struggling with ideas and emotions that they were not allowed to talk about. Talk with your children constantly. Trust them, guide them, lead them, encourage them, and listen to them.

[@TJMcCarty]

Homeschooling was the best education decision we ever made for our kids. We live in a "conservative" part of Florida. There's a local middle school teacher who is a self declared witch who celebrates pride month every year in her class and teaches students witchcraft after class. My friend was a teacher there and he saw students standing in a circle chanting spells with a child in the center of the group convulsing on the ground. Don't cast your pearls among swine. Parents should take their kids out of public schools. It's irredeemably wicked at this point.

[@scoobydoozoom]

Thanks for this interview, Jordan. My wife and I have three kids and we talk to our them all the time about stuff like this. The stuff they tell us about school makes me feel so sorry for the kids as well as teachers that have to comply with this garbage. I've quit teaching and this is one of the reasons for my departure from the profession. I'm not going to call a student by some ridiculous made up name that they've come up with for themselves, nor am I going to comply by calling young kids by pronoun xyx, zee, zer, or whatever the hell they've come up with. Parents, speak to your kids - this trend is not normal and kids are so, so confused. Our government has lost it's moral compass and the vast majority of people see it, but everyone seems afraid to do anything about it. Thanks, Jordan, for standing up to this tyranny.

[@Userr2689]

Totally agree with you ,sir! We ,parents, are terrified of this agenda that is destroying morals and stealing our kids innocence.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

This seemed to start sometime after 2010 when my nieces were going through middle school and high school. I heard them referring to singular classmates as “they” or “them” and it sounded ridiculous, like they were referring to someone with multiple personality or something. They said those friends were “non-binary”, as in, did not “identify” as male or female. I said that’s ridiculous, that everyone is either male or female. They more or less agreed with me, but said it had been drummed into them that they must refer to all students with their “preferred pronouns” wherever they were, and whether they were present or not. They said it wasn’t worth the risk of someone overhearing them “misgendering” someone and word getting around about it, because there was such strong social pressure to do this. I was dumbfounded. What was this, Orwell’s 1984 or Nazi Germany, with kids monitoring each other’s speech and snitching on them and socially shaming and ostracizing them if the slipped up? I also started hearing about female classmates of theirs who were planning to have double mastectomies at only 16, or had already had it done, or whose parents were refusing to let them do it so they were planning to as soon as they turned 18. It was then I realized something truly sick and evil was going on. It was about that time that Abigail Schrier’s book Irreversible Damage came out. Highly recommended; it helped to explain a lot about what thing thing is all about, how it started, and how to defeat it. I’m thankful my nieces didn’t get sucked into it. The movement is also doing terrible harm to a lot of young boys, most of whom ( but not all) would probably grow up to be gay men, if they were just left alone and allowed to grow up ⬆️ into men. There’s a weird kind of homophobia in this movement.

What a profound statement. We can’t show on tv what we are teaching our children at schools. I can’t wrap my mind around that it’s actually happening.

[@antonburren336]

Sadly, I see graphic LGTB see in nearly every show I watch on platforms like Netflix, CraveTV, etc. It's gotten to the point where it interferes with my ability to simply enjoy a show. Sometimes I'll start watching a show and really enjoy the writing, the acting, the cinematography, etc. and then, just as I'm getting hooked, suddenly an LGTB character is introduced and then, inevitably, this leads to graphic see scenes. Oddly enough, I rarely see heterosexual scenes in show and movies anymore. In a world where 90% of humans are heterosexual, there's next to no "representation" of their sexual lives in TV shows while there's an overabundance of LGTB sexual depictions. As this does not represent society or reality in any way, I can only conclude there is an agenda at work behind the scenes.

Think Jordan should have had more to say about Tate becoming a Muslim. Tate did not have to become a Muslim and it's very unfortunate that he did as Islam's Quran encourages great disdain toward all non-Muslims. Islam's Sharia is incompatible, even hostile, to a great many freedoms and values of modern Western Civilization (including Art & Music), and it is very oppressive toward women. Afraid his celebrity will attract many young men to this very intolerant & oppressive religion that demands total submission including of free thought.

[@bestBMever]

As I write this, I'm 42 days away from earning my teaching degree, and I'm thrilled that someone is finally addressing the flawed foundation of the education system. I do however have some grievances to share that weren't discussed in the interview but are relevant to the discussion. If anyone is interested, please read on. Throughout my four years of higher education, we were never taught the academic method. This may seem insignificant, but it's actually crucial. The academic method enables critical analysis of research, including evaluating researchers' methodology, identifying criticisms, and assessing the validity of conclusions. Without this training, we are unable to determine if the research presented to us is reliable. We lack a framework for understanding the underlying principles used in conducting research, leaving us incapable of critical evaluation. Consequently, most of my classmates wouldn't recognize a Marxist paper or even know it exists. While I don't endorse conspiracy theories, I can't help but suspect that the omission of this teaching is intentional. Without awareness of bias in research, we unwittingly perpetuate it. The worst part is that I feel completely alone in my concerns. As one of my classmates put it, "What does it matter? It's just kids, who cares?" I'm at a loss for what to do about all of this. If anyone has suggestions or has gone through similar experiences, please share your thoughts. What can be done to address these issues?

There really are some people who lack this sort of mental capacity. There also are people who naturally have developed their pre-frontal cortex such that they can have executive functioning ability. Tik tok and pornography destroy that mental capacity. So does trauma. Trauma is more than a mental problem it becomes a cellular problem in the whole body. Furthermore, brain health is as much a matter of the nutrition we recieve from our food supply as it is the thoughts or ideas we consume. So its not just social indoctrination we are dealing with. There are physical components to this madness as well. I know what you mean. I understand your concerns. I also have an education background and I live in the democrat stronghold of California. I would add that much of the dumb educational agendas are a complete waste of time, money, and energy. A real modern and transformative education is imho something radically beyond any of the conversations being had currently.

My husband and I go to great lengths to keep our kids innocent in today's modern chaos. No TV, unless approved. They have no personal tech devices, and what time they do spend on these things is either school related or researched by us. We are very selective in who they hang out with, what they read, what they wear, what activities they participate in, etc. We homeschool, and one of the main reasons why, is to keep our kids innocent. We know that one day our kids will have to face the chaos of the world, but we are confident that they will have a solid foundation that will help them think through the problems of the world with a level head. Kids need to be innocent in order to grow into solid, productive adults. There is a reason that so many adults are depressed and mentally ill, and much of it stems from broken childhoods and lost innocence. God bless, and parents. be encouraged to fight for your children!

I don't think I could have gotten through that time period without my books. It infuriates me to know that we have large swaths of children who can't read. This is unacceptable. This is an utter failure of our youth. They deserve to be able to discover themselves in great books, to escape in them, to stretch their disbelief, to understand the human condition. I can't think of a better way to improve yourself than to become an avid reader. What are we doing to our kids?

It will ultimately come down to the vast middle in these increasingly failing blue states and the red states battle with a tyrannical federal government.

[@kcc879]

While most good teachers will agree with you. It's more that the youth DON"T want to read, and CHOOSE not to engage with books and learning. It doesn't matter how simple the book is, or if it's a picture books or graphic novels or whatever, they don't want to read and I will also say that PARENTS don't support their children to read. I taught my son to read and will continue to challenge him at 15yo. A grade kids have parents like me, those that aren't don't have parents that can or won't support them. This is beyond the teachers responsibility. In my not so humble opinion, the whole education sector should be dissolved and send kids home.

[@beckywiers5257]

@@kcc879 I disagree with this at the age when kids learn to read. Kids in Kindergarten LOVE learning to read. We just aren't teaching reading. We're teaching to memorize sight words and use pictures to figure out what the words probably say. I have a kindergartener right now, and they talk about some of the letter groupings to know how what sound "ing" makes, etc, but they do SO many "sight words" that can be sounded out if you follow the rules of English. Based on the research, about 30% of kids will not be able to learn to read proficiently just using the reading methods taught in schools today. To avoid my children ending up in that 30%, I am working through a phonics program with my kids at home in addition to what they learn at school. Every time a "sight word" list comes home, I work through it with them to break down the word phonetically so they understand WHY the word says what it says instead of just being told that is the word and made to write it over and over to memorize it. If kids learn how to ACTUALLY read so it is easy, a lot more kids would read books than do now.

In about 1996 our 10yo son came home wide-eyed to tell me that he had watched a movie at school that he knew was wrong. THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD. He wouldn’t say what it contained. He seemed too embarrassed & afraid. He wasn’t allowed to watch PG movies until he was at least 13. He didn’t want to talk about it any further so I thanked him for telling me & told him I was very proud of him for the way he handled it. I watched the movie there was a scene with a lingerie-clad female humping a chair to music. (This was before twerking was a thing) I was livid. Before I met with his principal, I also read the book. The book did not contain any reference to that “artistic” scene. The school principal seemed blindsided when I (embarrassingly & angrily) told him what I knew about it. The movie was shown to the entire grade with no notice to parents. Most probably would never have guessed it might be objectionable. The teachers, I explained, may have mistakenly assumed the movie was the same content as the award-winning book. Now, I reflect on it through very different eyes. I doubt it was simply a mistake. The community was deeply conservative but many of the schools’ teachers repeatedly demonstrated that they were liberal Marxist activists so…

[@ValisFan3]

I remember back in the 90s and 2000s, "controversial" was Mortal Kombat, The Simpsons, and Harry Potter. Children were allowed to have childhoods back then and weren't constantly exposed to sexuality and porn. "Cool" was whoever could hit a home-run in baseball or whoever could do an ollie on a skatebaord. Children were really only competing against their own classroom and neighborhood kids, they weren't trying to compete against the entire world of social media.

I'm one of those parents who watched my kids very carefully. I was a presence at the school. I attended meetings with teachers, and I observed the classroom. I went along on field trips and got to know some of my kids' classmates. I knew what they were studying and when, and I was familiar with the curriculum and the materials being used. It took time, but it was not hard to do. One or two teachers weren't that happy about it....one called me overprotective. But the vast majority were cooperative and seemed pleased. I think we're past the point where we can trust the schools and the teachers with our kids the way we once did. Teachers and administrators might have paper qualifications, but the standard for morality in education has been lowered. We have to exercise diligence. Somewhere along the way, we dropped the ball, and amazingly, sexually explicit material, racial ideology, anti-Western narratives, and other off-the-wall and detrimental indoctrination found its way into classrooms. We have to reclaim those spaces for our kids and for the country.

[@devinredmond1121]

As a Child Welfare worker, thank you from the bottom of my heart… I am just completely blown away by the degradation of our school systems and the (lack of) relationships between school employees and parents nowadays… There is such a breakdown in communication and trust between the two parties, where there should be collaboration and string boundaries instead - part of this is also due to the destabilization of the family unit as well, which teachers are recognizing and why I think some of them have good intentions when they feels the need to “parent” some children whose families are suffering in particular. School employees truly believe they know better a children’s parents and will make mountains out of molehills based on how they subjectively perceive a child is feeling, which is usually tainted with their personal politic ideologies. These consequences of the adults’ behavior (school professionals and parents) are only negatively affecting the children - we need to take a serious look at what has been happening here and come together for them so badly.

I would advise you to check out private and magnate schools - including those modeled on Aristotle and Socrates. There is an old saying - I can't remember the exact wording' - but if you're paying for something then you value it. I think at the core public education is taken for granted but you only get out what you put in! Jordan has interviewed a representative of I believe both of these types of schools. I taught at an Aristotle school in Houston and it was really great. I have also taught at Heritage Hall in OKC where they truly put the student first - we had a microcosm of issues in larger public schools but the parents were insistent that their kids showed up and put forth effort and that's key. I loved teaching there! The last type of school I taught at in my career was Classen School of Advanced Studies in OKC - often listed at the time as one of the top 100 schools in the country. BUT the reason for that is they accepted students from the area as a magnate school then if they didn't make their grades or had any discipline issues the students had to go back to their home school - one D even in middle school and they were out. If I was in my twenties I'd be checking out the alternative schools. What forced me to retire early was a public school that was changing requirements to all screen multiple choice testing; and video input for instruction - teachers become monitors and I was not interested. Schools also won't share their long term plans when you are interviewing - so ASK LOTS QUESTIONS when interviewing! Best of luck to you!

I was born in Europe in the year 2000. My sex education looked like this: age 10 in primary school, we were tought how babies would come to exist. Very short and technical answer. Sperm + egg and a short explanation about where those two ingredients came from plus how birth functioned. No further discussion, bc none was actually needed. Kids that age didnt care about sexual intercourse, feelings, and whatnot. Then age 13-14 in highschool again. Now we hit puberty so now we had questions on sex. All were answered professionally but the main focus was on pregnancy prevention, dismanteling any weird believes like "you cant get pregnant on your first time" and making sure we actually realize how big of a deal and risk pregnancy at young age is. That was IT. No discussion on same sex relationships or weird gender issues and such. Age 15-16 professional sex-educaters were called in, who then gave us our first introduction on same sex relationships. Their main message, however, was HIV prevention, not sexual liberation. Their goal was to teach us how serious STD's were and how eventhough homo-sex was pregnancy-proof, it wasnt STD-proof. That was it. Never had any other discussion on this topic again. Never took sex, relationships and pregnancy lightly. Always feared the risks and thus never participated in any of these things during my teens. Waited to reach a mature age for stuff like this and my school definately helped shape this view of mine. Listening to this lady speak about her experience is mind boggling. How can a school system get something so simple so wrong. I dont get it

In the 1990's, when my first child entered the public school system, I saw this unfolding. In first grade my son was required to keep a jounal. Each morning the teacher would start a sentane on the chalk board. The children wrote the sentance in their journal and had to finish the "thought". I was shown the journal at a teacher's conference. They would start the children out with a sentance like; When my mom is mad she...., and then they would write for 20-30 minutes, finishing those sentances. When my parents fight, I feel.... When I'm sad I.... When I'm alone I.... It was a touchy feely intrusion into very young children's mind. This was the begining. Look where it's gone.

When I was in high school in the 1990's, sex education at my school was rooted in the biology. There was no focus on the different *ways* people have sex, it was about the biological results of the biological process: it was following the science, leaving the subjective out. The flames have been fanned by the desire to instruct kids more and more widely on sexual congress itself, and that is driven by the need for adults to feel their own preferences normalized and validated.

I disagree to a point. Sex Ed got more “graphic” or detailed to compete with easily accessed, widely distributed hardcore porn. Many of the youth are learning about sex from porn, which is/has caused massive issues within the relationship dynamics of teens and young adults.

[@jeffreyfrey1936]

@@GraceHarwood88 Are you saying this is a systemic cultural issue and as such the healthy behavior of the many (by means of a singular definition of healthy sexual awareness) warrants the transformation of the scope of sex ed programs to effectively parallel all that might be seen in porn? My children *could* witness a horrific murder, but I'm not going to show them "Silence of the Lambs" to ensure they're perhaps better-prepared to deal with that. The biological aspects of human reproduction are not unique to human beings, making human sexuality *subordinate* to reproduction in nature. So I agree, it is a cultural issue to promote sexuality over reproduction to the extent that we have; I don't agree that the answer is to en masse initiate younger and younger children into that morass. The unacknowledged side effect of that push is that parents who do take the initiative to guide their child's development are forced to be on the school's schedule for that information: if the school lectures on the panoply of sex acts in grade 5, then the parent must cover the "birds and bees" before that or remove the child from that class, which only serves to "other" the kid among his/her peers. If schools just covered reproductive science and left the rest up to parents, there would be a binary agree/disagree from those parents; the parents who aren't involved in their child's life won't care either way and at least the kid would be exposed to the realities of reproduction. When the material is expanded to focus strongly on sexuality, you introduce a spectrum of objection that primarily impacts the autonomy of parents more deeply involved in their kid's life and all kids are exposed to material that you yourself cited with negative connotations.

[@GraceHarwood88]

@@jeffreyfrey1936 I completely agree with you. It’s not really about what they could see for some, it’s what they have already seen and assumed that’s what that is. They’ve not had anything to challenge the visuals or no trusted person to approach for any clarification. It’s the unlearning of the porn stuff some kids are having to do, not what source gets there first. I don’t, in any way, support either. It’s a horrible topic that has been massively impacted by porn not being restricted more intensely online. I remember in the early days of the internet, a credit card was needed to access anything age restricted. It kept my curious teenage eyes away from it, for a while longer at least. Why that got lifted, I’ll never understand.

[@jeffreyfrey1936]

@@GraceHarwood88 Very well stated - there's no overwhelmingly-accepted solution to the problem other than eliminating the problem itself (root causes, lol). The heightened availability of explicit material is likely driven partly by the same dynamics of drug addiction - a free sample yields habitual consumption - and partly in response to the majority moral landscape of our society. It's fair to assume that a moral system that seeks to remove the stigma of pedophilia would not find it problematic to make all manner of sexual congress easily viewed by all ages.

When i was a kid in the mid 80s to early 90s. I was running around the neighborhood at age 6 knocking on all the doors asking the adults if their child could come out and play. Thats how i made friends in my new neighborhood. I'd go out for hours on end playing war, tag, jumping on friends trampolines, playing Nintendo and SNES on sleep overs and riding my bike everywhere. Now this was a small subdivision in the middle of no where surrounded by farm fields. We had our own elementary school. So my parents had a good idea of who mostly everyone was, they either had kids in my school or were in our church (or both obviously), it was also a different time. I feel bad that kids these days cant just have fun and be safe like i had it. Just go out, play with friends, ride bikes, figure out how to earn (or beg from Mom or Dad) money to get a $.26 soda refill from the local grocery store (had a small stripmall at the front of the neighborhood) and just be kids. The worst I had to deal with in my school was the nonsense about DDT causing thin shells in birds.

I’m an adult survivor of ritual sexual abuse when I was a child . And, I was put into the custody of the State at the age of 14 and I went from the frying pan into the fire. Many of the kids were trafficked and we were all violent and not in control of any aspects of making choices in our lives at such young ages. I have spent my adult life living with, then learning about and healing complex trauma. I am also straight by nature, but have been placed into subcultures were extreme hard core sexual practices are part of the lifestyles. The ONE THING I can say I know is a common thing with most of the people who are “in the life “ is complex trauma. That being said, knowing that some smaller groups know how to use human nature against humans to make people consumers, or soldiers, or workers, or dancing drag queens for that matter. Everyone that is taught to “keep secretes” about traumatic events that shape your life is really a victim of the cycle of abuse. The tactics of manipulation come from straight up intimidation, to slander campaigns , to seductive tactics like praise and favoritism. One thing I have learned is that people who can be authentic with their own traumatic experiences and choose to heal from that have a good chance of being able to connect with people from all backgrounds . But seeing things for what they are and calling out the truth for what it is is needed in order to help the process. Protecting children is like the MillStone paradigm and that’s a fact. And if the Truth shall set one free, and the Anointed one said “I am the truth”. Then to simply continue to be honest and stand in truth is the most powerful thing you can teach a child to do. Life is tough and we all need good guidelines to live by. Standing in one’s ability to have a solid boundary and learn to connect on levels that are sacred and not molested or manipulated is the most solid thing anyone one can pass on to younger people. It’s a terrible reality that there are some groups that are into satanic rituals and they are in some of the major institutions. It’s a fact and I can prove it because I was victimized in it. But for the average person that is just manipulated into some of these ideologies, they need to be made aware of how the “HOODWINK” actually works.

When they explained what whole word reading was I realized that is what my dad did with me and we did not even know it had a name. I am severely dyslexic and it worked very well with me. My dad was also dyslexic and shared with me tricks he had figured out to use to learn how to read when he was a kid and told me that the sounding words out thing never made any sense to him either. He also had used art to associate whole words to anchor to something physical he could think of (my dad was very good at drawing), for me he adapted that to giving me clay to create the physical anchors for words. He also had me write 4-5 pages per day of words in cursive to reinforce the whole words since cursive words are drawn in one line anchoring them (I still write mostly in cursive).

You have to tell them every now and then to knock it off because they can't keep their hands off each other and they sometimes can hurt each other but I tried to not take away their joy and enthusiasm and they knew I liked them. I would let them take plenty of breaks when whey could not pay attention or play a game that burned off some energy.

[@grandmajane2593]

I had two boys and from the day the younger could walk they chased each other through the house. Up and down the stairs. It was nerve-racking to say the least!

After hearing horror stories from the experiences of those who were coerced into sex transitioning at a young age as well as the horror stories of those who have been sexually groomed and trafficked at a young age I find it deeply disturbing that this kind of behaviour is being normalised in society. It's like the devil has won and the world is turning into hell.

[@serpentines6356]

Oh, no. The devil hasn't won at all. A lot of people aren't wanting to see what is going on, or are too busy. That's always been the nature of things in this world. Keep talking with people and educating them on these matters. Join those fighting against this madness, or support them. It's going to bea tough battle.

Thank you both for speaking out about this. My son is autistic, and he was completely abandoned by both his educators and his clinicians during COVID. He was already behind his peers due to his developmental delays associated with ASD, and because of how he was treated during the pandemic, we don't know if it's possible for him to ever catch up.

[@sueciviero3866]

I hope you find some good educators who care and help.

He will catch up if you putting a lot of extra time at home but always leaving lots play time also. Beat of luck.

A school near me is letting children identify as 'furries'. Several of the children wear ears and tails and are allowed to sit on the floor during class, saying theyre cats. I heard, though only anecdotally, that they have requested a litter-box for a child to use. I thought this was a sick joke! Until I heard it from several different sources. I'm bewildered as to how people can raise children now, considering such insanity breeds in the very schools they trust with their most precious part of themselves - their children. Keep doing what you're doing Jordan. The world needs people like you.

[@echodoodles]

Those children would identifying as 'therians'. I'm pretty sure Furries are different

[@iap-ug3oy]

My goodness what the hell is going on….These teachers all need dismissing ,you do not tell children they can be cats…Its bloody looney, you are born either male or female and no matter what you do to your body you can never change that …

[@patriciamartine5410]

I was born in 1956 to a lower middle class family. As a child in the 60s, I was obsessed with horses from watching westerns on TV. I would pretend to be a horse or Pegasus during playtime. It was fantasy and fun for me. My favorite book as a young child was Misty of Chincoteague. No one told me I was a therian or such nonsense. Not in Catholic school where learning was the only thing going on. The current situation is beyond ridiculous. No child should be indulged like this or taught anything to do with gender or sexuality,

[@ronaldreagan5981]

It's simple. People say they care about their kids,but they really don't give a shit. If they did there would be reports of murdered teachers on the news every night. I don't even want to hear your disagreement.

I thought Dr. Peterson had become a token of the past after watching his videos a while back where he was coping with drug problems. I am shocked now at how good he looks and how he has returned to full control of his rational self once again. I shall be returning to watch his videos again! Congratulations Dr. Perterson to a successful recovery!

[@SombreroPharoah]

He developed a drug problem? I mean, it isn't surprising I suppose. His line of work in today's world could send anyone to it. But I had no idea. I always assumed he was always quite together.

[@tysontyson1244]

He struggled with benzodiazepines dependency. Dr Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila Peterson were very open about the entire struggle.

[@chueyvanderbilt2213]

We the people who don't want any of this to happen to our children are the ones that failed. When this started happening we should have ended it right then and there but we didn't. Now we are stuck trying to clean up the mistake we as a whole have made. We screwed up

[@dianet2702]

YES 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@cdcaleo]

This insanity has taken off at light speed, and so many parents, like myself, are so focused on the day to day reality of keeping one's head above water and making sure your own children are happy and healthy, that we have been absolutely stunned by the sudden tidal wave, and the fact that no one in authority will stand against it. It's actually all quite shocking.

Get out from Sodom and Gomorah before it is too late

[@Dani-cg9hn]

We start from right here, now, in the present, from when we learn, from when we open our minds, and get educated. It is our job as an adult, when we know, not to allow it, and only do our part. That's it.

[@Dani-cg9hn]

We live and learn. It is taking responsibility when we know. What could we have done? We did not know what we do not know. Still, there is a lot we do not know now. We can only be responsible, and hold our own self accountable for learning more, and taking action within our capacity/capability.

[@sigsauer7929]

This was a great discussion, especially the part about what the schools are doing to boys, I have three boys and I am ashamed to admit that I have been asleep at the wheel while I was busy playing the survival game. I dedicated my free time to my family and I did all the stereotypical father role activities with my kids, and thought I was teaching my sons to be good men. I trusted my ex-wife to take care of everything related to their schools, and my two oldest sons are suffering because of it. I’m doing my best to protect my youngest son now.

[@sueciviero3866]

It is never too late. I hope you can tell them all that modern schools don't support boys or meet their needs. I hope they can learn to think critically.

[@sigsauer7929]

@@sueciviero3866 Appreciate the positive thoughts, I am trying, although I'm afraid it is too late for my oldest, he has been feminized and wants nothing to do with me, the second oldest listens to me but I have been made into the bad patriarchy by his mother and his high school, also he is into trans and “identifies” as bi. I'm alert now, and I am 10x more involved in my youngest school work and upbringing, so I have definitely taught him to think for himself and to question everything.

[@sueciviero3866]

@@sigsauer7929 My adult child is wanting to start testosterone. Your struggle breaks my heart. My husband left me but we never said bad things about each other to the kids. The lie that a lot of men are toxic is awful and causes agony for boys. There are toxic people. But the majority of men have protective instincts toward women and children.

[@sigsauer7929]

@@sueciviero3866 I feel your pain, I have an adult daughter that is all in on the woke feminism, she also identifies as bi, but she has a good head on her shoulders and I believe is starting to shake off her indoctrination, so I’m hopeful. Yeah, the whole toxic masculinity propaganda is awful, it’s obvious to anyone capable of critical thought that there is only toxic behavior.

[@marteumar8429]

“Stereotypical father role activity” so playing? Most males, even when they live with their kids mothers, under the same roof as their kids, still don’t raise their kids, they just have their kids as a hobby. This only get worse when they live separately from their kids that they only see in the weekend, if that. You watch JP if you’ll take at least one thing he has to teach us, make it be accountability. Take responsibility for your on actions, or lack of therefore. Quit blaming your ex wife, quit blaming the school for the fact that you don’t have a good relationship with your sons that you have as a hobby. You can change that, and you can still build a good strong relationship with them if you start to take responsibility, recognize your mistakes and conceal it.

[@user-qw6sq7hk5u]

As a gay man, I can confirm that there is an insidious aspect to the gay community (not of it, inherently) that preys on youth. The actual perpetrators are not so much gay adult men, however. Take a look into the morally deprived world of the often married (to a woman) "bisexual" man. These cowards have injected themselves into gay culture and hide in it, to feed their morally bankrupt desires. So good at the art of subterfuge are they, by virtue of literal lifetimes of hiding who they truly are - *homosexual* men - that they have fooled countless gay men into assisting them in their predatory objectives. This makes gay men no less guilty than the (supposedly bisexual) predator, but one only needs to explore the question of "how are they convincing gay men to help them?" to get the entire picture. I'll even give you a hint. Which common era narcotic has gained massive widespread popularity in recent years has its roots in World War 2? 🤔

[@ID30394]

I always try to find the positive with what the so called expert group think attempted to do to Dr. Peterson. The fact that he has more time and effort to be accessible to the masses is a big plus for all the people who may need professional help or simply good advice but don't have the means otherwise.

My Dad was a high school English teacher for 40+ years. He obtained his masters in 1968 and taught from 1969 at 23 years old until about 2015. He only majored in English at college. He didn't have to take "education" discoplines and I saw in a yearbook from the early 80s just how revered and how great and challenging a teacher he was. Jordan is absolutely right that education doesn't prove to make better teachers. My dad said he would never have taught had he been forced to take secondary education as a major like they do nowadays.
