"Groomer" Schools

ώ Groomer Schools 1: The Long Cultural Marxist History of Sex Education - NewD > .
ώ Groomer Schools 2: Queer Futurity and the Sexual Abuse of Your Children - NewD > .


1) Through brand names like "comprehensive sex education" and one of its parent programs, "Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)," "Western" government schools have been turned into Groomer Schools. Parents are beginning to notice. What many will not understand, however, is that this isn't just a fluke of our weird and increasingly degenerate times. It is, in fact, a long-purposed Marxist project reaching back into the early 20th century. James Lindsay explains the long history of the sexual grooming that has come into our schools through Critical Gender Theory and Queer Theory as they have crept into educational programs. The podcast provides an explanation for how sexually explicit materials, gender ideology, pornography, and strippers have made their way into "Western" government schools, including for young children.

2) James Lindsay reads through a 2019 academic paper called "Queer futurity and childhood innocence: Beyond the injury of development" by Hannah Dyer of Carleton University, Canada. The paper covers the intersection of early childhood education and Queer Theory. James reads through this paper in full, offering commentary and revealing just how insidious and dangerous the agenda in the public schools is (Critical Race Theory is, honestly, among the least of our problems, if you can believe it). Prepare to be appalled at what the Critical Marxists who have taken over our education system have in mind for our children.

3) More and more people are waking up every day to the fact that our schools have become an undeniable catastrophe, and they're starting to realize alongside that fact that it isn't an accident. It is purposed. It is intentional. It is a strategy, and it uses our children as pawns for achieving a nightmarish agenda, no matter how much damage it does to them to achieve it. In this Groomer Schools series on the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay has already walked you through the long Communist Party strategy to use sex education in schools to destabilize society and sever ties between generations and just how specifically grotesque this grooming sexual agenda is. In the third part of the series, Lindsay puts these two pieces together, explains their purpose, and illustrates how Critical Race Theory works alongside Queer Theory (grooming) for a blatantly Maoist purpose: to create an American Red Guard meant to overthrow our society and start all over from a new Year Zero. James Lindsay describes the evil Maoist tactics being employed in our schools to turn our children into Revolutionaries for the purpose of undermining America and the West.

Universities devoted to the unfettered pursuit of truth are the cornerstone of a free and flourishing democratic society.

For universities to serve their purpose, they must be fully committed to freedom of inquiry, freedom of conscience, and civil discourse.

In order to maintain these principles, UATX will be fiercely independent—financially, intellectually, and politically.

[Needless to say, apparently fearing competition from liberal education, the "woke's" knickers are in a twist.]

------------
Our project began with a small gathering of those concerned about the state of higher education—Niall Ferguson, Bari Weiss, Heather Heying, Joe Lonsdale, Arthur Brooks, and I—and we have since been joined by many others, including the brave professors mentioned above, Kathleen Stock, Dorian Abbot and Peter Boghossian.

We count among our numbers university presidents: Robert Zimmer, Larry Summers, John Nunes, and Gordon Gee, and leading academics, such as Steven Pinker, Deirdre McCloskey, Leon Kass, Jonathan Haidt, Glenn Loury, Joshua Katz, Vickie Sullivan, Geoffrey Stone, Bill McClay, and Tyler Cowen.

"On our quads, faculty are being treated like thought criminals."
.......

"The numbers tell the story as well as any anecdote you’ve read in the headlines or heard within your own circles. Nearly a quarter of American academics in the social sciences or humanities endorse ousting a colleague for having a wrong opinion about hot-button issues such as immigration or gender differences. Over a third of conservative academics and PhD students say they had been threatened with disciplinary action for their views. Four out of five American PhD students are willing to discriminate against right-leaning scholars, according to a report by the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology.

The picture among undergraduates is even bleaker. In Heterodox Academy’s 2020 Campus Expression Survey, 62% of sampled college students agreed that the climate on their campus prevented students from saying things they believe. Nearly 70% of students favor reporting professors if the professor says something students find offensive, according to a Challey Institute for Global Innovation survey. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education reports at least 491 disinvitation campaigns since 2000. Roughly half were successful."

University of Austin (UATX) is a proposed American private liberal arts college announced in 2021 to be located in Austin, Texas. It has been described as anti-cancel culture and anti-woke. According its website, the proposed college plans to accept graduate students in 2022 and undergraduate students in 2024. They have not received nonprofit status and are reliant on a fiscal sponsor. As of 2021 the institution is not accredited but reports that it is seeking accreditation.

The University of Austin was launched on November 8, 2021 with the publication of an article by founding president Pano Kanelos, formerly the president of St. John's College (Annapolis/Santa Fe), in journalist Bari Weiss's Substack. Substack (founded 2017) is an American online platform that provides publishing, payment, analytics, and design infrastructure to support subscription newsletters. It allows writers to send digital newsletters directly to subscribers.

University of Austin's founding faculty fellows include Peter Boghossian, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Kathleen Stock, although Stock clarified it is not a full-time role and that she will not move to Austin. Other founders include former Harvard President Lawrence Summers, former ACLU President Nadine Strossen, and former president of the American Enterprise Institute Arthur Brooks.

Kanelos has said the institution will be focused on "the intrepid pursuit of truth" and exposing students to "the deepest wisdom of civilization." The institution reportedly raised $10 million in private donations in the two months prior to launching. Within days of the launch on November 8, 2021, Kanelos said he had received more than 1,000 requests from people to participate in the institution, indicating such a need for this type of school. The institution aims to raise $250 million to launch the undergraduate and graduate program during the initial few years.

Perfect comment in response to a puerile shoot-the-messenger ad hominem: "Thank you for your considerate and valuable contribution to the discussion. We are all now more enriched in wisdom and humanity after having read your cynical ad hominem attack on people who are trying to improve the nature of our public discourse rather than succumbing to nihilistic pessimism. May your inspired words be among those chiseled in stone so that they are preserved for generations to come."

Our culture war is not a distraction: Apathy is tantamount to surrender by Andrew Doyle

"What has become known colloquially as the “woke” movement is rooted in the postmodernist belief that our understanding of reality is entirely constructed through language, and therefore censorship by the state, big tech or mob pressure is fully justified. In addition, this group maintains that society operates according to invisible power structures that perpetuate inequality, and that these can only be redressed through an obsessive focus on group identity and the implementation of present discrimination to resolve past discrimination. This is why the most accurate synonym for woke is “anti-liberal”."
...
"The goals are certainly oppositional, but the terms are vaguely defined and often muddied further through obfuscation. Rather than a reflection of antipathies between Right and Left, today’s culture war is a continuation of the age-old conflict between liberty and authoritarianism. John Stuart Mill opened On Liberty (1859) with an account of the “struggle between Liberty and Authority”; the only difference today is that the authoritarian impulse has been repackaged as “progressive”."
