If you were told your child would have to hang out with an adult (not a friend or family member) for 180 days within the next year, most responsible parents would want to know everything possible about that adult. When it comes to teachers, parents get zero opportunity to find out anything about the adult who their child will be exposed to any given school year, let alone the four or more adults they’ll be around during most of the weekdays.

It kinda’ stands to reason if a parent had an opportunity to sit down and meet with a green-haired, nose-ringed millennial who’d be taking care of their child when they weren’t around, chances are most would be shown the door and politely asked not to come back… ever.

That process is NEVER afforded to parents.

We just ship our kids off to school and aside from a name, few know who the new teachers are, nothing about their background, what interests are, and what they’ll be teaching our children once the school doors close behind them. Because of the pandemic and “remote learning”, parents did get a glimpse of what was going on and a lot were horrified.

Some parents chose to remove their children from schools because of what they witnessed. Wouldn’t it have saved a lot of time, expense and drama had parents gotten a heads-up before the school year began and their children had to endure the narcissistic musings of TikTok-posting activists?

And let’s not forget the hundreds of news reports of sexual assaults by teachers on students of all ages, backed up by the data.

Educator sexual misconduct is a serious problem in the United States (U.S.), with a 2004 Department of Education report estimating that 9.6% of K-12 students in the U.S. had experienced either verbal, visual, or physical educator misconduct at some point during their school career. Overall, 11.7% of the 6632 participants reported having experienced at least one form of educator sexual misconduct during Grades K-12, with 11% reporting sexual comments and less than 1% reporting other forms of sexual misconduct (e.g., receiving sexual photos/messages, being kissed, touched sexually, or engaging in sexual intercourse/oral sex). Academic teachers most often perpetrated the abuse (63%), followed by coaches and gym teachers (20%). Educators who engaged in sexual misconduct were primarily male (85%), whereas students who reported experiencing educator misconduct were primarily female (72%). Rates of disclosure to authorities were very low (4%) and some sexual grooming behaviors like gift giving (12%) and showing special attention (29%) were reported.

Well, now the numbers have changed for the worst….

Almost 1 In 5 Children Face Sexual Misconduct By Public School Faculty

Yet, we’re told we must support our teachers without reservation because they are part of the unionized, educated class.

If enough parents had the chance to reject certain teachers prior to exposure to children, schools would have little reason to hire them.

Food for thought.

Today, too many are looking for reasons to be offended about anything; almost to the point of the absurd.

Star 102, WDOK-FM, calls itself “Cleveland’s Christmas station.” But its listeners are discovering that one holiday chestnut has been kicked to the curb. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” the duet in which a man tries to dissuade a woman from leaving a party despite her repeated protestations, has been pulled from the station’s Christmas playlist amid concerns about its predatory nature.

Seriously.

Penned by “Guys and Dolls” writer Frank Loesser in 1944, the Christmas song is perceived by some as unworthy for the most wonderful time of the year — particularly in the age of #MeToo.

“The character in the song is saying, ‘No,’ and they’re saying well, ‘Does no really mean yes?’ and I think in 2018, what we know is consent is ‘Yes’ and if you get a ‘No’ it means ‘No’ and you should stop right there,” Sondra Miller, president of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, told WJW-TV. “I’ve asked them to stop and think about the perspective of a survivor who was raped in that type of circumstance.”
— CNN, 12/1/18

Of course, it had to become monkey-see, monkey #MeToo.

More radio stations ban ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ amid #MeToo controversy

Now how many #MeToo activists have publicly objected to the fact that 465.3 million have viewed the following video on the socially-sensitive YouTube platform; a “song” that would clearly be offensive to today’s “survivor” demographic save for the fact it’s probably on many of their Spotify playlists.

Those who look down on and tell us all how we’re supposed to think are also guilty of not seeking out the best while distributing filth because they think so little of the ability of those they employ and the dignity of their consumers.

Earlier this month, Spotify introduced its new Hate Content and Hateful Conduct Policy. Its aim was to minimize their promotion of problematic artists, and led to R. Kelly and XXXTentacion’s music being removed from their curated playlists. Many, including followers of the #MuteRKelly movement, praised Spotify’s new ruling, but plenty others — including Kendrick Lamar — have expressed concern and disapproval over what they believed to be a form of targeted censorship against artists of color.
— Consequence of Sound, 6/1/18

Some of these so-called “artists of color” are downright embarrassing examples of limited talent who squander golden opportunities with creations of questionable aesthetic value. Maybe it’s a generational thing but I’m failing to see the “art”.

With all of the talented musicians and composers in the United States alone who are languishing without any opportunity to produce real music, record companies are more interested in distributing shit like this….

BTW — The previous examples were quickly and randomly found.

I know how hard it is to get any of the so-called artists, record and publishing companies to take a listen to original music; music it took months to compose, produce, perform, and mix to a competitive level. It’s sad watching today’s accepted acts whose music is subdued and lyrics that are narcissistic and depressing.

Contrast that with songs created that were justifiably overplayed on the radio back in the day but when performed with the appropriate professionalism, blows away anything created by shit talkers or the coffee shop snoozers.

When the looking-to-be-offended socially depressed decide to get the courage to take on the clearly sexist, racist, violence-embracing so called “music” assaulting the soundwaves of the general public, we have no time for their finding (what THEY consider) warped messages in songs written a generation-plus earlier hashtags were even contemplated as a vehicle for social awareness.

Until music company executives show any modicum of respect for the craft and continue to elevate the talentless who produce “songs” that aren’t allowed to be played in their own children’s rooms, we’ll have yet another double standard where real music is censored and shit is justified and mainstreamed.

And unappreciated classics will be left out in the cold.

The left and their media has poo-pooed the notion that women are capable of lying about these matters, for a variety of reasons, but now that demands for the resignation of the President of the United States based on the claims from many women that Donald Trump disputes, the following is an aspect that could be damaging to the narrative.

On the December 8th edition of The Glenn Beck Show, guest Bill O’Reilly offered up a new twist on the ongoing efforts to undo the results of the 2016 presidential election….

Just who could that lawyer be?

Prominent lawyer sought donor cash for two Trump accusers

“Hill” reporter John Solomon detailed some of his findings on The Sean Hannity Show, December 15, 2016, and what he found proves that elections can be tampered with… for the right price.

Again, so much of what we’re now finding out now would never have come out had a friendly Hillary Clinton administration been able to dictate the daily narrative. But there just may be women whose stories about sexual harassment and/or abuse may come with a price tag. Those who were promoting a “film” about their supposed incidents with private citizen-Trump (that just so happened the day before a certain election in Alabama) are not doing this just for the cause. There is an expected return and a willing broker.

We all know there are entities that peddle in paying for false allegations to damage the reputations of a given target, i.e. Fusion GPS being paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign to produce a “dossier” to slime opponent Donald Trump.

It’s just about how much they can get and the public to believe before the truth comes out… again.

The opportunistic and timely #MeToo movement was ramped up to new hysterics when President Trump responded to Gillibrand.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who has called on Trump to resign over allegations of sexual misconduct, was the subject of a Trump tweet on Tuesday in which he called her a “lightweight” who “would do anything” for campaign contributions — a comment some have interpreted as sexual.

“Well certainly that was how I and many people read it,” Gillibrand said on NBC’s “Today.” “It was certainly just a sexist smear intended to silence me.“
— The Hill, 12/13/17

It appears mostly liberal Democrats are the ones who interpreted a commonly used phrase as sexist.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday pushed back on the claims that the language was a sexual reference, telling those who took it as such to that their minds were “in the gutter.”

But this isn’t the first time Senator Gillibrand has exploited the sexual abuse card and then fleeing when details don’t fit her desired political conclusion….

To add to the confusion, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren added to the conversation in a way that was also open to gutter interpretation.

In her attempt to utilize social justice terminology, did Senator Elizabeth Warren imply Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is a slut?

Slut-Shame
When you shame someone for the way they act sexually.

“She’s such a slut. I heard she’s slept with like 43 guys”

“Okay??? We don’t Slut-Shame. Who cares how many people she has slept with
— Urban Dictionary

Politicians can slander anyone they want with impunity under the Constitution. Senator Gillibrand has done so on several occasions, she will persist in doing so in the future and is too high and mighty to admit when she’s wrong.

Is this what the latest iteration of the women’s movement has in store for the United States?

UPDATE

As is usually the case, Democrats blatantly accuse others while knowing what’s been shoved in back of their own closets.

“Congress has a sexual harassment problem — and isn’t taking it seriously,” Gillibrand wrote in Fortune magazine. “If we can’t clean up our own act, how can anyone expect Congress to do the right thing for victims and survivors in the rest of the country? Congress has to do better. I believe that elected officials should be held to the highest ethical standard — not the lowest.”

You know what’s coming next….

Just a few months later, when a woman in her own office reported that a married male staffer was making repeated, unwanted and increasingly aggressive sexual advances toward her, Gillibrand did not do the right thing and fire him. Politico reported that “less than three weeks after reporting the alleged harassment and subsequently claiming that the man retaliated against her for doing so, the woman told chief of staff Jess Fassler that she was resigning because of the office’s handling of the matter.”

Gillibrand’s office defended her inaction, saying in a statement that the senator’s office had conducted a “full and thorough investigation” that included “multiple interviews with relevant current employees who could potentially corroborate the claims” but did not find cause to fire the male staffer.
— Boston Herald, 3/14/19

And the timing couldn’t be worse.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand officially entered the ever-growing pool of Democratic presidential hopefuls Sunday, ending the two-month-long exploratory phase of her campaign saying she’s running for the White House to make “big, bold, brave choices.”
— NBC News, 3/17/19

Like a small matter of sexual harassment would stop her.

Conversely, we’re also being told that sexual assault is a nonpartisan scourge.

Now finally sexual harassment and abuse are no longer being seen (when seen at all) as a problem of individual behavior but as a systemic issue that pervades all workplaces and social encounters, not limited to any political or religious affiliations and affecting people of all sexual identities and orientations.
— Huffington Post, 11/17/17

Normally we’re against censoring anything for the “sensibilities” of the viewing public, but Joe Barton’s proved why there are always exceptions.

If you were to try and keep up with the tally of reported sexual abusers in the current scandal cycle, it’s clear sexual abuse IS a geographical (Hollywood, New York City, and Washington, D.C.) and very partisan epidemic.

Had any of those marked above in blue were Republican, the media would have added them to the “Republican” sexual abuse mantra, but as of now, this is a nonpartisan scandal because they say so.

The panel on ABC’s “The View” reacted with anger and disappointment to news on Thursday that a Los Angeles radio personality accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of groping her and forcibly kissing her on a USO trip in 2006.

“It’s just so disappointing,” said co-host Joy Behar, “but, you know, men of all different stripes are out there doing crazy shit.”
— Raw Story, 11/16/17

Either Joy Behar has an acute case of Alzheimer’s or she’s been lying to America knowing she’s been prone to put her hands where they don’t belong without consent.

Of course, Behar will NOT address her past transgressions unless pressured into an insincere, public apology by her evil male bosses at ABC. If liberal patterns hold true, she’ll claim her groping was NOT of sexist intent.

It was comedy. Just you wait.

By the way…

One of our most beloved comedians,

That’s a stretch.

The brilliantly witty and outspoken star of The View, hits the most unpopular President ever elected where it hurts—and makes us laugh and cheer—in this hilarious alphabetical guide to everything that’s wrong with the “Orange One,” Donald Trump.

Put down the knife, lock away the gun, lay aside the noose, Joy Behar is here to save you from suicide as she hot walks you through the next four years (two if we are lucky, less if liberal dreams come true). Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry. The Great Gasbag is Joy’s answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House.

Her new book would be more appropriate if she weren’t in front of a blackboard but looking into a mirror.

Had the numerous sexual abuse cases coming out of Hollywood involved Republicans, it would be appropriately labeled and megaphoned as such. It turns out, not only are the vast majority of offenders liberals, but many of them were high-dollar donors and bundlers for Democrat politicians.

Some members of the press are working to disassociate movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual abuse and assault over three decades, from Hollywood’s politically liberal culture and the Democratic politicians and causes he supported over the years.

Social conservatives have long argued that the left is hypocritical, that liberals police people with ‘political correctness’ but do not practice what they preach. For this point, Weinstein is a perfect case study.
— Washington Examiner, 10/18/17

We’re now hearing about sexual abuse running near-rampant on Capitol Hill with even elected members belatedly adding themselves to the #MeToo victim tally.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), in testimony before the panel, said at least two current members of Congress have engaged in sexual harassment. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) offered another example. She shared a story of a male lawmaker — still in Congress — who asked a young female staffer to bring materials to his residence. He opened the door dressed in only a towel, invited her inside and proceeded to expose himself.

The staffer subsequently quit her job.
— The Hill, 11/14/17

Over the last few months, we’ve made several trips to Capitol Hill and we consistently see young women who are hardly dressed in what would be considered business-professional attire. Not that we’re saying they’re inviting harassment, but it’s not like women don’t know how to send signals.

And this wouldn’t be another exercise in liberal hypocrisy if we didn’t point out that the very media entity that published the allegations of elected females regarding sexual abuse also exploits the superficial attributes of Capitol Hill staffers.

In a media environment that relishes in any leak that damages President Trump or any elected Republican, it’s not unusual that we haven’t had any labeling of the Harvey Weinstein floodgate as a Democrat scandal or a convenient leak from an “official” or “anonymous source” naming names.

Just the convenient respect for the non-disclosure agreement….

To those women who participate in sexual relationships in hopes of advancing their careers: either you have morals or you don’t and the “advances” would not be made if there wouldn’t be any takers.

Democrats are quickly moving on from the Weinstein scandal.
— Washington Post, 10/17/17

For those of you too young to remember or know, moveon.org was created in 1998 in response to the Bill Clinton impeachment hearings for sexual impropriety the left and their media wanted to just go away and many are quick to remind you not to point at Democrats.

CNN: Sexual harassment isn’t red or blue
Baltimore Sun: Sexual harassment isn’t a partisan problem, it’s a gender problem

But enter the allegations on one Republican Roy Moore and sexual abuse just could be partisan.

The Atlantic: Is Combatting Sexual Abuse Becoming a Partisan Issue?

Of course, there are still those who say (despite the numbers) this is not a partisan issue. Guess who those people are?

We don’t know if Terry Crews was sexually accosted by a fat, ugly, powerful heterosexual male, but while we have our suspicions on who that aggressor is, chances are it’s not someone who prefers women over men and that leads to a very interesting case made by the late author/producer/director Michael Crichton. He not only wrote best-selling novels that successfully made the leap onto the screen but prior graduated summa cum laude from Harvard, received his MD from Harvard Medical School and many of his stories referred to the ethics surrounding a given topic.

One of his more negatively-received adaptations was the 1994 movie “Disclosure” which explored the topic of an executive who sexually abused a subordinate. The movie was considered controversial because of the highly-implausible premise that the abuser was woman and the abused was a man.

Just what was Crichton really telling us and why did it strike a nerve enough to earn that standard progressive, deflective dismissal?

At that point in time, Michael Crichton was more than just a Hollywood insider. He rode among the rich and powerful and one could argue “Disclosure” was his way of speaking out like many women today are being applauded for. Without naming names, he may have been trying to out powerful, predatory women. They’re out there and like the Harvey Weinstein scandal, he knew he couldn’t count on the media to alert the public that this abusive behavior even exists.

Just wait for that first male to air the dirty laundry. The abuser may be a woman or some version of LGBTQ so let’s see just how ahead-of-his-time Michael Crichton really was.
