Mural, mural on the wall

“Love” includes respect.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Set aside momentarily the improbability that 10- and 11-year-olds designed a mural plugging LGBTQ+ flags. What child knows gay community standards unless taught by adults? They were coached.

It is likely children designed the "Love is Universal" theme. But some adult(s) needed to inject sexual politics. If “Love is Universal” then I assume “universal” means everyone including LGBTQ+. Sexual politics have no place in school.

“Love” includes respect. Wouldn’t you agree? You cannot deny that large segments of society believe the gay attribute is a moral issue. Adults corruptly inculcating children with subjects they know are antithetical to other members of society are disrespectful and they need to apologize for their insensitivity.

The school district represents everyone-even those with different world views. They have no business apologizing to anyone. Shaming those who were acting in good faith is despicable.

Using “children” as means to bully apologies is contemptuous.

Let’s now address this call for an “equity director”. Beliefs which presume systemwide failures where little exist are tactics intended to impose pernicious solutions. They are designed to advance a cause.

Who objects to being equitable? Well, “In contrast to equality, equity as defined... is little more than reformulated Marxism,” wrote Christopher F. Rufo . It is, in fact, critical race theory.

“There are a series of euphemisms deployed by... supporters to describe critical race theory, including ‘equity,...’” Rufo continues. “(Individuals in) public school systems have (said) that... ‘equity and inclusion’ departments serve as political offices, searching for and stamping out any dissent.”

Hiring someone whose sole job is to find inequities will not surprisingly find inequities, lots of them. It’s the camel’s nose under the tent and will result in the establishment of immoral critical race theory.
