  • A Story of rights trampled in America

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 6 20:44:49 2023
    Travis Lohr, a senior at Kellogg High School in Kellogg, Idaho.

    There is a tradition at Kellogg in which graduating seniors pass on bits of wisdom to underclassmen. Seizing the moment, Travis decided to depart from his pre-approved remarks and said, “Guys are guys and girls are girls. There is no in-between.”

    The school principal, Dan Davidian decided Travis’ comment was enough to bar him from graduation exercises.

    The Blaze reports that Travis had been hired by the U.S. Forest Services as a wildland firefighter. But he was fired from that job.

    Free speech is dead in America.

    Gender is fluid and non-binary, but biological sex is fixed and binary.
    People get the terms gender and biological sex mixed up.
    Travis would have gotten better cover if he specified biology.

    Gender has the runs.
