Any Widening Of The Eyes Will Result In Detention
Lifted from the comments, a reminder of Teacher Appreciation Week:

To which Chow Bag replies,
A not unreasonable question, all things considered.
Regarding Mr Look-At-My-Fabulous-Hair-Extensions, I suppose the obvious issue is the self-absorption of our strapping madam, such that he records and then publicly shares classroom videos of himself faffing about with his wig while expecting applause for his feats of fake-hair management. It does rather speak to his priorities and focus. And that’s before we get to the oddly ample fake bosom.
The other issue, I’d say, is the fact that schools have surrendered to cross-dressing men with a rapidity and full-throatedness that is quite remarkable. The place where cross-dressing men should not be – in positions of intimacy with, and authority over, children – is where they seem to find the most gushing welcome and the most ludicrous indulgence. Such that children are coerced to mouth fabulist pronouns and to regurgitate obvious lies.
Also from the comments:
Supposedly, it’s about making the children feel “comfortable.” Though it occurs to me that the flag’s connotations of coerced pretending, fetishistic mutilation and life-shortening hormone abuse – and generally being subordinate to a cross-dressing man with mental health issues – may have other effects. Say, by transforming a classroom from a place of learning into one of cowed pretension, of deference to the untrue.
And then there’s the not insignificant matter of introducing an element of transvestite farce into the classroom, which may result in children being distracted from the task at hand by the perhaps more immediate question of what the strange man in the wig and padded push-up bra sees when he looks in a mirror.
But hey, this is where we are now. Let the progress wash over you.
Sure it is.
Cf. On waffle-stomping […]
A few of those things–that–never–happen.
Needless to say, I do have more.
It sure as hell isn’t progress. I’ve heard people say that the left and so called “progressives” are the gas and conservatives are the brakes. It’s such a backwards and obviously flawed analogy. But if you consider it from the perspective of “principles” it makes sense. So called progressives don’t have them. Or they are willing to toss them out the window as soon as they become inconvenient. Conservatives understand that principles don’t change. Ever.
I’d rather not, thanks, if it’s all the same to you.
David, what the hell?
Surprised we’re not at the ‘and it’s a good thing’ phase.
In case it needs saying, I’m sure there are self-styled transgender people who find the behaviour linked above – the assaults, intrusions and so forth – repellent and horrifying. But to pretend that there is no pattern to discern, no heightened statistical risk, and especially no risk to children, is, it seems to me, to indulge in outright fantasy.
