“It just seems that people don’t understand and they don’t want to learn and come to experience what a joy these shows are and the joy on these kids’ faces,” drag queen Ginger Forest said. “It’s very fun. It’s very wholesome.”
Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.

In the absence of the old Ringling Brothers circus, these are simply the modern equivalent of clowns, with all that goes with it.
Hard pass.
Clowns? Yup.
Innocent fun for kids? Nope!
what they are doing to children is sick and twisted. Insanity has taken hold of some of these people who are promoting this.
Nothing against drag queens/drag shows — live and let live — but they are not appropriate place for kids — especially at taxpayer expense
The live and let live stops when the perversion comes into schools to indoctrinate helpless children and shames the parents when they complain and want to protect their children!
Children have a habit of laughing at clowns at the circus so it does not surprise me they are laughing at the drag queens dancing on a stage
I don’t care what consenting adults do. When you start grooming children, you’ve got my attention. All of these recent “events” involve an audience of children. What the hell is going on in this country? Not only is this not okay, you can bet your last dollar that the next “event” will step even further over the line. This is how the woke crowd works.

But unfortunately, consenting adult beliefs have gotten bizarre and destructive. Worse, these consenting adults do not share your libertarian beliefs. They have progressive, authoritarian beliefs. They will… Read more »
And that’s where libertarianism fails, because there’s no mechanism in the belief system to self-preserve. You let consenting adults do what they want to do, and they’ll use it to destroy you and your own belief system. It’s never been more obvious than during June when Globohomo takes over, and you realize consenting adults have forced you, against your consent, to celebrate their values or face ruin. How’s libertarianism for you now?
