Maybe Not Deft, But Certainly Bold
Speaking of which, he’s doing it for the students, you know. And he sometimes turns up to class in full drag. To make it a “safe space.”

Update, via the comments:
Regarding the second item, Jen quips, “Liar, liar, pants on fire.”
Ah, but you see, it’s “a place for them, by them,” while clearly being all about him and entirely his idea, and entirely dependent on his preferences on any given day. So, sometimes it’s full drag, and sometimes just big earrings, nail polish and wacky tart shoes. To make the children feel “safe.” I somehow doubt that any pupils or parents who find this educator’s behaviour, shall we say, distracting or not entirely reassuring, will be indulged anything like as much as he expects to be.
Update 2:
I suppose the above raises the question of whether you think schoolchildren should be compelled to participate, daily, as a captive audience, in a teacher’s gender-bending psychodrama. Complete with beard, make-up, and ‘fuck-me’ hooker shoes. What matters, we’re told, is that he gets to “look how I wanna look” during office hours, on other people’s time, while teaching other people’s children, and while supposedly setting an example of adult behaviour. And, luckily for him, farcical self-indulgence is just so woke, baby. “I’m here to recruit you,” quips he.
According to our progressive educator, the spectacle of him parading around the classroom in clownish make-up and women’s clothes, his beard offset with stiletto heels – which he just happens to enjoy wearing – will somehow create a “safe space” for gay schoolchildren. All of whom, apparently, aspire to be narcissistic cross-dressers with terrible taste. As someone who was once a gay schoolboy, back in a darker, more primitive age, I have to say, the sight of my chunky, rather stern German teacher striding about the classroom in Joker makeup and five-inch stilettos would not have been particularly affirming, no matter how many Pride flags he waved about while doing it.
Update 3:
If you question our educator’s behaviour, you’re “not so nice people” and, inevitably, a “homophobe.” There being no other variables, you see, nothing else to consider. And note the use of the children as a rhetorical shield.
Taken broadly, it’s a strange conceit – one might say perverse – and seemingly common among woke educators. The idea that being a gay adolescent means you must therefore feel some kind of affinity with self-absorbed cross-dressing educators, just as you must be affirmed by the prospect of small children being read to, and twerked at, by drag queens – a remarkable number of whom turn out to be registered sex offenders. As if these things were role models and objects of kinship. As if being lurid and grotesque, or mentally ill, would be an obvious aspiration. A way to feel good about oneself.
It is, I think, a little odd.
Also, open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

Our “non-binary” educator also claims that a quarter of his school’s intake is “LGBTQ,” which seems, to say the least, rather implausible.
Presumably, parents are supposed to believe that their children will feel, and be, “safe” spending five days a week under the authority of a lying, cross-dressing narcissist.
See also this, which seems not entirely unrelated.

Apparently, the way to make gay kids feel comfortable in class is to have their male teacher parading around in frocks, big earrings, and prostitute shoes, which he just so happens to enjoy doing. Because, obviously, that’s what all gay kids aspire to.
big earrings and wacky tart shoes
I take it that his idea of feminine attire is a street whore.
The dishonesty, I mean.
I see so many photos and videos of un-masked politicians and other members of the ruling class that I am forced to speculate that they are consciously rubbing our faces in the fact that they can do anything they want while we must kneel to their every whim.
I take it that his idea of feminine attire is a street whore.
His idea of femininity is, as so often, both lurid and rather limited. But I’ll leave that one to the ladies.
I suppose it’s a question of whether you think schoolchildren should be compelled to participate, daily, as a captive audience, in a teacher’s gender-bending psychodrama.

Well. I’m not a parent myself, but if I were, I imagine I’d not be keen.

Related, a couple of San Francisco rozzers are booted from a “restaurant”.
Now I know we ‘Merkans poke fun at full English breakfasts around here, but as this restaurant claims to specialize in breakfast, they have raised the bar on pretentious twee nonsense, so you lot over there feel free to mock back.
A happy ending, though, the owners said the popo are welcome, “when they are off duty, out of uniform, and without their weapons.”
I am sure that will come in handy when the flash mob gets a hankering for some hash browns with Latvian sauerkraut and chrysanthemum tea.

I have noticed, over the last four or five decades, that the Official Truth about sexual orientation swings back and forth between nature and nuture depending on what is politically expedient.

What gets me is how paralyzed we’ve become as a society that we allow these solopsistic jackweeds to practice their sociopathic behaviours with impunity…on our children. These are the same types who lecture us about democracy and tolerance. They’d never survive in a true democracy because the majority of people disapprove of their behaviour. Hey if you want to dress up in women’s clothes while doing the housework or the shopping, knock yourself out. The minute you cross the threshold of that classroom with the intent to twist young minds you’d better put your agenda behind you. Shame on the schools for allowing this to happen.
…practice their sociopathic behaviours…

Don’t look it up, seriously, this is nothing more than an inguinal hernia check, and neither are they a thrill to receive, or to perform and, if done incorrectly, can actually cause injury, but trans wymxn are real wxmyn and biology doesn’t matter, or something.

Ah, but he must be indulged, you see, on grounds that a male teacher parading around the classroom in clownish make-up and women’s clothes, his beard offset with stiletto heels – which he just happens to enjoy doing – will somehow create a “safe space” for gay schoolchildren.

Perhaps we should make a safe space for people like him. In Mozambique maybe.

A small update on our self-involved educator. If you question his behaviour, you’re a “homophobe” and “not so nice people.” There being no other variables, you see, nothing else to consider. And note the use of the children as a rhetorical shield.

Or, “If you find my narcissism and lack of professionalism tiresome, it’s because you hate gay people.”
I’m paraphrasing, of course. But only just.
Much as when Laurie Penny is mocked for saying something stupid, and then immediately invokes “sexism” or “misogyny,” as if she were The Living Incarnation Of All Womanhood.

This. They hide their ghastly behavior and horrid inner selves behind these -ist and -phobe shields, and currently those are holding well, because most people are still afraid of being accused of witchcraft and the resultant burning at the stake. Although there might be tiny cracks forming in the shield if the BLM types and the trans mafia types keep pouring it on as thick as they have been.
“My students were upset.”
Sure they were.
Sure they were.
I’m inclined to wonder how they heard about his sorrows, or imagined sorrows, if not from him. Thereby once again making himself the centre of attention.
He’s supposed to be teaching Spanish, by the way. When time permits, presumably.
They get away with this crap because good people…”good” people tolerate it. Like the “female” Penn swimmer who is breaking all the school and conference records. If the women *** swims against would simply refuse to participate in the farce, it would eventually have to go away. But they won’t. They are willing participants in their own degradation. These students have less of an option than the women swimmers but if the culture can’t even stand up to that absurdity, what hope is there? Ah, but none of this is happening because I was told repeatedly through the years by people who somehow “knew” these things that these things would never happen. I was being ridiculous by even thinking such things were possible.

For many of these women, the sports scholarships are the only way they can afford to attend university. They don’t have to take first, but they do have to compete. If they quit the team they have to drop out.
That said, I have no sympathy for the little darlings. Women’s college athletics have been using lawfare against colleges for decades to force them to provide scholarships and funding for sports no one watches or cares about. And that’s just part of the larger problem of colleges expending huge amounts of money and energy on sportsball instead of academics.
If they wanted to go to college, they should have studied.
But they won’t. They are willing participants in their own degradation.
Or not. I have friends with a kid on a full athletic ride, no play, no pay.
Dropping out or quitting only to be replaced by a more woke dupe vs. putting up with this nonsense in a sport with nigh zero professional happy ending is a choice between Scylla and Charybdis and not exactly what one would call “willing”.

While I understand you do agree with me in general, these are both gator-arms answers. Like it’s either swimming or prostitution. Because that time spent in the pool and dry land, 2-3 hours a day or more at serious college level, 1-2 hours at least if you’re casual about it, simply could not be applied to a job bringing in a couple hundred bucks a week, even without the whoring thing. Because most decent swimmers come from impoverished backgrounds. You know, pick-up meets and race challenges at night down at the municipal pool with Corn Pop and Joe The Incontinent.
And it’s not like they have to quit the team. Just organize themselves and refuse to swim the three or four events (limit three in my day) this guy is in. Dare the University to cancel them. Make an issue of it if necessary. Stand for something. If you can’t stand up to something this insignificant what are you going to do when lives are on the line? Wait…I think I already know…which is why we are where we are.
a choice between Scylla and Charybdis and not exactly what one would call “willing”.
Choices have consequences. If your friends’ kid is sensible, he’s using the athletic scholarship to fund an education in something lucrative and useful (i.e. not “kinesiology”, “rec & leisure”, “rocks for jocks”, nor any of the other fake degrees colleges use to hide where their true priorities lie) in which case it doesn’t matter how much of a dumpster fire the athletics program is.
Dare the University to cancel them. Make an issue of it if necessary.
Make it personal. Name and shame. Keep up the personal pressure. One of the right’s recurring errors is “playing nice”: The left doesn’t play nice, and being nasty is part of how they get so many concessions. And being nice to actual enemies is a losing strategy.

Much as I agree with the concept, we are not talking about a cash cow like football or basketball, they are probably not going to roll over and play dead for the non-woke women’s golf team.
What this guy is doing is grooming, encouraging kids to become gay. Also, it is aggressive, using force. Teachers should in no way be forcing kids to listen to their teacher’s sexual preferences. If it makes a gay kid “safe” it makes a bunch of straight kids gag. But I don’t care if he was straight–if he talked about sex in class he should be fired.

The pressure on the university itself, financially, is not the point. The point is the spectacle of this guy, and presumably his female teammates who granted would not be likely to cave, swimming alone. Deprive the cheater(s) of victory. Make sure there’s video of the event and make sure it gets distributed to the proper non-woke media. Either way, refuse to play their cheating game. A sick-out is another, though wimpier and thus far less effective strategy, but still better than playing their game. It’s simply not a sport as it is.

I was thinking of more personal pressure: Mobs of angry people invading the administrators’ offices to disrupt their routines and make them nervous. Random public confrontations. Flyers left in their neighbors’ mailboxes. Denunciations couched in the most condemnatory fashion to impugn their character. Names and faces on every internet screed. If the left can do such things, then so can we. And it’s not like these administrators are good people who deserve to be treated with kid gloves…
One of the right’s recurring errors is “playing nice”: The left doesn’t play nice, and being nasty is part of how they get so many concessions. And being nice to actual enemies is a losing strategy.
I agree wholeheartedly, but I’m not sure the right is ready to fix that particular error, considering what happened to the last guy on the right who tried that. He realized how the left plays the game, and gave it right back – played according to their rules. I’m not sure who hates him more – the left or the right.

I’m afraid you’re somewhat right, although note that Trump did get near half the votes in 2020.
…He realized how the left plays the game, and gave it right back – played according to their rules.
Maybe someone who played it with a little more finesse? Trump did seem to make a lot of mean tweets that reflected more on him that his target–such as that one about someone throwing like a girl.
I have to say, the sight of my chunky, rather stern German teacher striding about the classroom in Joker makeup and five-inch stilettos would not have been particularly affirming, no matter how many Pride flags he waved about while doing it.

Next up we find that firing the Cuomos is apparently a hate crime because they are actually BIPOC.
Farnsworth points out the irony of anti-italian bigotry that was pretty intense and vicious. Italians were classified as Not White for a long time. One of the last major lynchings was 8 italian men in New Orleans. Do they get to talk about their trauma? Do they get any victim points? hahahah no

This same nut wrote “Western Lit Survival Kit: How to Read the Classics Without Fear” in which she apparently “deconstructs” real literature from the Greeks to the 20th century with “entertaining plot summaries”, and “insights into author’s minds”. I am sure she has that latter one nailed as she imagines herself to know Orwell better than Orwell.
Regardless, I hope Orwell’s estate enjoys whatever Imperial Dollars they got for giving the green light to this mess.
If you are “afraid” when reading the classics, and fail to grasp that literature of the past was written in a very different world, then I feel sorry for you.

If you are “afraid” when reading the classics…then I feel sorry for you.
Except that most of them are only pretending to be afraid, as a ploy to purge everything they don’t like. So rather than feeling sorry for them, I loathe and despise them.
Why does this remind me of today’s liberals?
Children of families like Dalliu’s were not allowed higher education by the Communist regime and were assigned to jobs in mines and other heavy industries.

I have (had?…nah, probably still have…meh, who knows anymore) a good Italian friend whom I have been trying to tell this to for many, many years now. He simply refuses to acknowledge the fact that Italians are not white. I point to Roman emperors with names like Africannus Scorpious or some such but he refuses to believe me. He insists that’s some kind of bug. I say, “Look at your skin, look at mine”, nothing. I go, “All y’all got brown eyes”…I get the death stare. Especially after a few beers.
I could send him this article from the NYT but he would still deny it because NYC is not in NJ (“No matter what they say” he says) and I doubt has ever even held a copy of the NYT. Meh…what can I do? Live and let live, I suppose. Sad.
point to Roman emperors with names like Africannus Scorpious…
I assume you mean Scipio Africanus whose name has nothing to do with his race, but the Africanus being essentially an honorific tagged onto his name (Publius Scipio) after having kicked Carthaginian behinds in Carthage.
The name has as much to do him being “African” as Montgomery of Alemein has to do with Monty being Tunisian.
Not to pile on (ok, yes I am) but in Roman times North Africa and Carthage in particular were mostly greek colonies. Even today, they aren’t particularly “black”.
Of course, my original point was that everyone was at some point oppressed, exploited, enslaved. In Roman times the Brits were rather barbaric, and the scots very much so. Later the romans got their butts kicked and were rather oppressed.
