Australian School Abolishes ‘Heteronormative’ Dress Code

Posted on | March 31, 2017 | 1 Comment

International Grammar School principal Shauna Colnan.

Heterosexuality is not yet illegal in Australia, but the feminist regime in elite education certainly does not approve of it:

The International Grammar School in Sydney, Australia has announced it will begin implementing gender-neutral uniform codes.
“It’s almost like for those students who do identify as far more gender fluid, the uniform has been a refreshing way for them to identify that,” IGS principal Shauna Colnan told Gay Star News. “It was really a no brainer for us, we can’t continue to have this heteronormative standard in our uniform.”
The decision came after male-born students began wearing girls’ uniforms to class, and vice versa. Students identifying as gender-fluid began coming to their teachers asking about dress codes, which prompted them to request the administration consider a new policy. Now, with the updated uniform codes, IGS students can wear their choice of pants, skirt and tie to class.

Principal Colnan is being celebrated as an “LGBTQ educator icon.” IGS is an expensive private school where “students acquire a global perspective through diversity and intercultural understanding,” where boys learn to be girls and girls are taught to be lesbians, where “gender fluid” students are considered normal and, if somehow any of their students turn out to be heterosexual, everyone regrets this as an unfortunate accident.

Wait — am I perhaps exaggerating the situation? If so, can someone offer evidence to the contrary? Are there any heterosexual students at IGS? Or has Principal Colnan ever said a word in favor of heterosexuality? Please, I’m eagerly awaiting proof that I am wrong about the curriculum and policies at IGS, and good luck to anyone trying to find that proof.

Lesbian Fitness Guru Faces Felony Charges After Driving Incident

Posted on | March 30, 2017 | Comments Off on Lesbian Fitness Guru Faces Felony Charges After Driving Incident

 

Ten years ago, Jackie Warner was an L.A. celebrity, the star of Workout, a reality show on the Bravo cable TV network. For three seasons, the show featured Warner and her clients at her Sky Sport and Spa in Beverly Hills. A self-made millionaire, Warner is the author of the books This Is Why You’re Fat (And How to Get Thin Forever) and 10 Pounds in 10 Days: The Secret Celebrity Program for Losing Weight Fast.

Being a reality TV star, however, didn’t quite suit Warner’s temperament. The producers made Warner’s lesbian relationships a focus of the show, and she had three different girlfriends — Mimi Saraiva, Rebecca Cardon and Brianna Stockton — during the course of three seasons. And then there was the incident when Warner was caught on camera making negative comments about a client’s breast implants. As it turned out, the client was a “well-known fitness model and breast cancer survivor.” Warner says she “didn’t like doing the type of TV that I was doing which made me uncomfortable and uneasy,” so she left the Workout series and eventually sold her gym. She went into a downward spiral:

“To be honest, I felt a bit lost and started partying a lot. It felt like I was taking a few steps backward in life and I started making bad decisions.” . . .
Jackie realized she needed to accept responsibility for her actions and devise a plan to pull herself out of her misery. “I quit drinking for a year and I quit dating for a year,” she continues, adding that she prayed for guidance every morning and night and cut “almost everyone” out of her life including friends, business partners, managers, lawyers.

Two years ago, Warner was planning a comeback with a new book, but evidently that didn’t work out so well, and now there’s this news:

The former Bravo fitness star crashed her car into a pole in West Hollywood, CA Feb. 24, after allegedly “sleep driving.” She nearly ran over an LA County Sheriff’s Deputy when she allegedly threw her car in reverse and tried to leave the scene. . . .
The former star of Work Out went to lunch earlier in the day, drank one martini and took an Uber home, sources close to Jackie told TMZ. She then claims to have taken the sleep aid Ambien and says that the next thing she knew, she woke up in the hospital with no memory of the accident. According to TMZ, she wasn’t wearing pants — just underwear — when she was arrested around 5:45 pm. The former owner of Sky Sport and Spa in Beverly Hills was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon for nearly mowing down the deputy. Her blood alcohol level was measured at .08, exactly the CA legal limit, so she hasn’t been hit with DUI charges just yet.

 

You were driving without pants, with a .08 blood-alcohol content in the middle of the afternoon, you nearly killed a deputy and were taken into custody at gunpoint? Could be trouble, but don’t worry, the “Ambien defense” will save you. You’re a former reality-TV star and a lesbian. There’s no way a California court is going to convict you of a felony.

California Prosecutes Pro-Lifers

Posted on | March 30, 2017 | 1 Comment

John Ziegler at Mediaite:

Conservatives are outraged today that two “pro-life” activists have now been charged in California with 15 felonies in connection with their sting operation on Planned Parenthood. There is good reason to be incensed at the arbitrary/dubious enforcement of the law and the overtly politically-motivated over-charging of two people who seem to be, at least morally, on the “good” side here (recording private conversations vs. apparently trying to sell human body parts).
After all, California is obviously an extremely “pro-choice” state and the attorney general is a very liberal Democrat. Similar charges in Texas (not so liberal) didn’t stick, so it certainly appears as if pure politics has played a significant role in how this case has been handled by the legal system.
But there is another very important element of why California felt comfortable pursuing this case with such extreme vigor. That is their total confidence that the mainstream news media will support, or at least not push back against, them on this story. . . .

‘Diversity’ Requirement for College Faculty Enables Political Discrimination

Posted on | March 30, 2017 | Comments Off on ‘Diversity’ Requirement for College Faculty Enables Political Discrimination

It should be obvious to anyone who has paid attention to academia that conservatives are not welcome on our nation’s university campuses, either as students or as faculty. America’s higher education system is controlled by partisan Democrats, and Republicans are not eligible for employment. Nearly 100% of campaign contributions from liberal arts faculty go to Democrats. At Cornell University, for example, 97% of contributions from faculty went to Democrats. At Georgetown University, 96% of faculty donations went to Democrats. To maintain this ideological conformity, applicants for employment at many universities are now required to submit a “diversity statement,” George Leef explains:

The diversity statement has a purpose. That purpose, writes the paper’s author, Professor Bruce Gilley of Portland State University, is to weed out non-leftist scholars.
At many universities, he explains, there is an unspoken ideology that “emphasizes group identity, an assumption of group victimization, and a claim for group based entitlements.” On the other hand, “Classical liberal approaches that emphasize the pluralism of a free society, the universalism of human experience, and the importance of equality before the law have been regarded as invalid.”
Scholars who don’t demonstrate enough zeal for the former or any sympathy for the latter are put under a great disadvantage. The ideological purists who often dominate in hiring and promotion decisions don’t want dissidents in their schools if they can be kept out.

You can read the whole thing. It is worth recalling that the modern conservative movement in America more or less began in 1951 when a recent Yale University graduate named William F. Buckley Jr. published God and Man at Yale, an exposé of the liberal biases that were evident at what was then considered to be a conservative institution. Buckley’s book is still worth reading today, because the problem he identified — America’s intellectual elite had ceased to believe in the American value system — has proven to be so insoluble. There are now more Marxists on the Yale faculty than there are Christians. Indeed, there are probably more Marxists at Yale than in Pyongyang. And when was the last time Yale hired a Republican professor? The question therefore arises, why should Republican parents pay exorbitant tuition to send their children to universities that function as Democrat Party indoctrination centers?

‘Equality,’ Florida-Style: Lesbian Arrested for Attacking Her Husband With Bleach

Posted on | March 29, 2017 | Comments Off on ‘Equality,’ Florida-Style: Lesbian Arrested for Attacking Her Husband With Bleach

Lakeisha Regina LeGrand was arrested earlier this month.

History offers many examples of intellectuals dreaming up innovative schemes for “progress” which, as inspiring as they may seem to their advocates in the academic elite, don’t work out so well when applied in real life with real people. Just invoke the magic word “equality” and rational discussion ceases, because how can anyone be against “equality”? We are expected to ignore the fact that never in human history has anything like “equality” actually existed, and attempts to impose “equality” through government force have resulted in disaster in the former Soviet Union, Communist China, Cambodia, and elsewhere.

What did Ivy League professors imagine “equality” would mean in terms of marriage and families? Or what did Justice Anthony Kennedy (Harvard Law, Class of 1961) think would be the consequences of Obergefell?

Let’s take a look at how “equality” is working out in Orlando:

A 31-year-old Orlando woman was arrested Sunday on suspicion of splashing bleach in her husband’s face after they got into an argument about a woman whom she recently began dating.
Lakeisha Regina LeGrand was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery/permanent disfigurement.
According to an Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit, LeGrand and her husband have been married for eight years, have four children together and live together in the same home.
Deputies said the couple got into an argument Saturday because LeGrand’s husband does not like the woman whom LeGrand is dating and he does not want the woman around their children. He said LeGrand “recently discovered that she is gay,” and it has caused stress on their relationship. . . .

(She “discovered” she’s gay, like it’s a scientific breakthrough.)

LeGrand’s husband asked her to keep the woman away from their children, and LeGrand took the children and left the home, deputies said. Her husband said he also left and returned home Sunday.
He said the children told him that they were left alone with LeGrand’s girlfriend, and he confronted her when she returned home, the affidavit said. She told him to “go back to where he came from” and he began to yell and throw boxes, deputies said.
LeGrand asked one of her children to get some bleach, but the child refused, so LeGrand grabbed a bottle from a closet, unscrewed the lid and splashed it on her husband’s face, according to the affidavit.

“Equality!” “Progress!” “Social justice!” These fine phrases are so inspiring to the intellectual elite, but what do they mean in real life for ordinary people who didn’t go to Harvard Law School?
