It's interesting that the Great Defenders of Free Speech don't see the irony of defending destructive speech while advocating for bans on access to speech (media) by children. How's that work, exactly? When is speech without consequences for society...except when you say so? When do children prove no longer susceptible to things you don't like? What age is that? Could it be 15 or 18 or even 25 when the brain firms up? How about later? Please defend your POV.
This is called Shooting Fish in a Barrel: making fun of those Texas rubes.
Yes, there's collateral damage when you try to root out the gender ideology. Decisions get made by people who haven't studied the classical texts. Wake me when it's over.
The founding principles of limited government have been all but forgotten in America today: the government sticks its nose into EVERYTHING. The path to disentanglement is a hard sell with many, as the government's intrusions are sold as being "helpful" in a world hyped as having extreme danger at every turn. Recognizing that the government itself, in its over-bloated form, is actually the biggest threat to our wealth, freedom, and sanity, is a major step that many have not taken and actively resist taking.
There goes teaching Eliot's The Waste Land!
At the violet hour, when the eyes and back
Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits
Like a taxi throbbing waiting,
I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives,
Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see
At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.
Out of the window perilously spread
Her drying combinations touched by the sun’s last rays,
On the divan are piled (at night her bed)
Stockings, slippers, camisoles, and stays.
I Tiresias, old man with wrinkled dugs
Perceived the scene, and foretold the rest—
I too awaited the expected guest.
He, the young man carbuncular, arrives,
A small house agent’s clerk, with one bold stare,
One of the low on whom assurance sits
As a silk hat on a Bradford millionaire.
The time is now propitious, as he guesses,
The meal is ended, she is bored and tired,
Endeavours to engage her in caresses
Which still are unreproved, if undesired.
Flushed and decided, he assaults at once;
Exploring hands encounter no defence;
His vanity requires no response,
And makes a welcome of indifference.
(And I Tiresias have foresuffered all
Enacted on this same divan or bed;
I who have sat by Thebes below the wall
And walked among the lowest of the dead.)
Bestows one final patronising kiss,
And gropes his way, finding the stairs unlit . . .
Run vs. Ruin?
I’m going to walk around smacking people with a copy of Timeaus, rolled up into a circle for density, like a newspaper!
I’m gonna smack the Plato right into their noggins!

What a horror! So suffocating, so small-minded, so stupid! Even for cowboys.
