Call to Action – A Recent Example of Acceptance by Apathy

The world has gone mad. We see more and more examples of it every day. And we all rant about it on social media platforms. But we are losing the battle if we haven’t already lost the war. Here is why.

There was recently an event in the Milford, NH, Middle School that has brought significant attention to just how crazy things have become in the LGBTQ+ community. To best understand what I am talking about, watch this short video from a mother of a 13-year-old girl student at that school.

 

 

Yep, you heard that correctly. This woman’s little girl and her female friend’s modesty and safety don’t matter. What matters are the “feelings” of a student in the minority who is part of the madness? Not offending a biological boy who claims to be gender fluid and is sometimes a boy, sometimes a girl, and sometimes a lesbian matters most. Not offending students who claim to be “furries,” as in the locker room account, matters most. The testimony you just heard from Samia DeMarco was to the NH House Judiciary Committee in Concord in support of HB 396: Relative to the State Recognition of Biological Sex.

When the girls complained to the school administration, the incident was ignored. Subsequently, the girls were bullied for weeks in retaliation for their making a complaint. As the issue percolated, it was decided by the Milford School Board that it would be a topic of discussion at their board meeting on Monday, 06 February 2023, at the Milford High School.

The conclusion of the School Board was that they would remodel all of the school bathrooms and locker rooms to install floor-to-ceiling walls on all stalls and remove all urinals. Does anyone care to guess what that will cost? And all of that to coddle a few trans kids who could easily use the unisex bathrooms that already exist, as had already been proposed. The taxpayers in Milford should be LIVID!

There was a lot of saber-rattling on social media about the upcoming School Board meeting and the desire to sign wave there to promote normalcy, one of the two “normal or crazy” choices correctly identified by Sarah Huckabee Sanders in her rebuttal to Biden’s abysmal SOTU speech. Despite all of the discussion on social media and notifications and invitations to join us at the High School, less than a dozen of us showed up to protest. The pro-trans community, on the other hand, had roughly 200 people, many not from Milford and/or not students, all wearing rainbow garb and butterfly wings with a portable PA system.

It was not a good showing for us. We made our voices heard, but it was underwhelming when outnumbered 15 to one. Where are the rest of the like-minded, normal people who were on social media? Where are the students and young people whose lifestyles are being disrupted by the minority of gender-fluid students?

The School Board wasted no time in implementing its crazy, ridiculous, and cowardly bathroom policy. The next day all of the urinals in the boy’s bathroom were covered up with black plastic trash bags, leaving one stall available in some instances for the entire male student population. Later that day the male students, who were having no part in the foolishness, took matters into their own hands, so to speak, and all of the plastic bags had been torn down so that the urinals could be used.

On Friday that same week, many of the students at the Milford High School staged a walk-out protest against the insanity of the School Board’s decision. The topic is scheduled to be taken up once again at the next Board Meeting on 20 February 2023. Our small group will be there to support the vast majority of people who don’t want the trans lifestyle shoved down our throats. Will you be there? Apathy is acceptance…

Not that any feelings were hurt at the protest Monday night, but our small group received comments like “go back to your nursing home”. The significance of that is it demonstrates the view the younger generation has of the GOP – stodgy, set-in-our-way, old people. That is not what we are about. Houston, we have a problem…
