[h3][link=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/n-h-gov-sununu-targets-woke-policy-criticizes-florida-gov-ron-desantis-culture-wars-tactics]N.H. Gov. Sununu targets ‘woke policy’ but criticizes Florida Gov. DeSantis’ Attacks on Business [/link][/h3]
Sununu agreed that “we need to push back on woke policy. Theres no question about it. the woke policies that are culturally being driven are really driving a wedge through the United States and taking us to a place where we dont want to be as Americans.”
However, he argued, “going after private business is a whole different story. I come from the ‘Live Free or Die’ state, and private businesses can and should act like private businesses without the fear of being punished by people that might disagree with them.”
Sununu emphasized, “while I agree with a lot of those issues that Ron brings to the table,” he does not think it is wise “to necessarily punish private businesses because they dont agree with a policy or whatever it might be. Those types of culture wars pushing their way into the private sector, thats definitely not I think where we want to be as Americans.”[/QUOTE]

[b]North Dakota considers a Ban of Sexually Explicit Books[/b][/h1]
Books containing sexually explicit content including depictions of sexual or gender identity would be banned from North Dakota public libraries under legislation that state lawmakers began considering Tuesday, the [link=https://apnews.com/article/politics-north-dakota-state-government-gender-children-749e427af12b8bd35792c6e80ad70f65]AP[/link] reports.
The GOP-dominated state House Judiciary Committee heard arguments but did not take a vote on the measure, which applies to visual depictions of sexually explicit content and proposes up to 30 days imprisonment for librarians who refuse to remove the offending books. -
Wouldn’t this include the bible?

probably not. I’m sure that’s when the GOP will believe in separation of church and state

[link=https://www.loudersound.com/tag/pink-floyd]Pink Floyd[/link] announced yesterday (January 19) that they will release a [link=https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-dark-side-of-the-moon-by-pink-floyd-the-ultimate-track-by-track-guide]Dark Side Of The Moon[/link] 50th anniversary box set, and revealed that they will also launch [link=https://www.loudersound.com/news/pink-floyd-confirm-dark-side-of-the-moon-50th-anniversary-box-set-for-march]a new [i]The Dark Side Of The Moon[/i] experience[/link] at London’s word-famous Planetarium, where the band first held the original press launch for the album in February 1973.
But in unveiling a new logo to mark the iconic album’s 50th anniversary celebrations, the prog rock legends seem to have unwittingly found themselves immersed in the latest ‘culture wars’ debate.
It seems that certain less… enlightened followers of the band on Facebook have interpreted the new logo’s inclusion of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet bars, the colours visible when white light passes through a triangular prism, as featured on the album’s world-famous artwork designed by Hipgnosis, as a signal that the group are now “woke”, and championing LGBTQ+ rights. And therefore, in their eyes, the group must be CANCELLED, immediately.“Lose the rainbow, youre making yourself look stupid!” writes one commenter… and it gets worse…
“Sad to see a band that was once great has gone full WOKE!!!.” writes another fan. “I loved your music before, NOT LISTENING NOW!”
A third commentator states: “No librul [sic] agenda for me today. Thanks, Pink. Fan for 63 years and never listening again. I miss when the songs were about cats and gnomes! Bring back syd, hed never stand for this left wing nonsense.”
Another confused fan asks, “What is the connection between pink Floyd master piece & LGBT ??? WTF….”
“Yeah, cuz I always hear Pink Floyd fans saying I wish Pink Floyd was more gay.” tuts another upset follower.
“From this moment I dont listen to this band” an ex-fan writes.

Yes, commenter you are. Had to go look at what is actually going on over there. There are scattered hateful homophobic comments that quickly get ridiculed by true fans. Just the way it should be.
Although we still have the problem of Roger Waters being an anti-semite….
I guess that haters in this case were fine with that?-
I think we have proved this thread should have a different title.

[h1]Parents sue Ohio school district over teachers, LGBTQ issues[/h1]
A lawsuit has been filed in federal court against a Columbus-area school district, with parents claiming teachers are discussing LGBTQ issues with students without parental consent, according to reports.
…
The Dispatch reports the teachers union did not comment on the lawsuit. However, it released a statement in September backing teachers wearing Im here. Safe person. Safe space badges in support of LGBTQ students.
…
Unfortunately, extremists working to amplify the playbooks of a national network of political radicals are once again trying to manufacture controversy and weaponize LGBTQ+ issues to distract Ohioans from the very real issues facing our schools, the statement in September said.
The lawsuit is asking that the district be required to notify parents if their child is using different pronouns at school, reports say. The Dispatch reports that at least 30 parents have been asking the district to clarify its policies on LGBTQ issues.
[/QUOTE]

Still lobbying for a thread title change.

LGBTQ in school is such a trigger for many. Had dinner the other night with some friends, a lawyer couple who are conservative Republican. They brought up the topic of pre-school & grammar schools and believe the children are being asked upon entrance to “choose your pronoun.” They were insistent that a 4 year old is normally asked to choose such.
Um, where? I’m not aware this being a general thing for pre-school or even grammar school but they seemed to believe it.
I was not in the mood to spoil dinner over such an emotional unsubstantiated subject so I changed the subject.-
Federal government should just dumb it down and say here’s a curriculum. Learn the changing body, birds and bees, safe sex and be done. Let parents opt out if they want. In 2023 kids should be able to figure out the rest on their own. It doesn’t need to be all the other kumbaya, everyone draw a rainbow BS. none of this was ever a problem until for some reason it was a problem.

The “woke” Pontiff just announced that punishing homosexuality is wrong.
[link=https://www.wsj.com/articles/pope-francis-says-criminalizing-homosexuality-is-wrong-11674667779?mod=hp_listc_pos2]https://www.wsj.com/articles/pope-francis-says-criminalizing-homosexuality-is-wrong-11674667779[/link]We are all children of God and God loves us as we are, the pope said, echoing earlier comments, including [link=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324354704578635401320888608?mod=article_inline]his famous 2013 statement[/link] about gay priests: Who am I to judge?
Pope Francis, who has expressed support for [link=https://www.wsj.com/articles/pope-francis-backs-civil-unions-for-gay-couples-in-shift-for-vatican-11603296578?mod=article_inline]same-sex civil unions[/link], made it clear in the interview that he wasnt changing church teaching on the morality of homosexual acts.
Being homosexual is not a crime. It is not a crime. Yes, but its a sin. Well, first lets distinguish sin from crime, the pope said.[link=https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-gay-rights-ap-interview-1359756ae22f27f87c1d4d6b9c8ce212]https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-gay-rights-ap-interview-1359756ae22f27f87c1d4d6b9c8ce212[/link]
Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as unjust, saying God loves all his children just as they are and called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.
Being homosexual isnt a crime, Francis said [link=https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-ap-interview-highlights-8b9ec42afec4e0c0691a54f756b257bc]during an exclusive interview Tuesday with The Associated Press[/link].
Francis acknowledged that Catholic bishops in some parts of the world support laws that criminalize homosexuality or discriminate against LGBTQ people, and he himself referred to the issue in terms of sin. But he attributed such attitudes to cultural backgrounds, and said bishops in particular need to undergo a process of change to recognize the dignity of everyone.
These bishops have to have a process of conversion, he said, adding that they should apply tenderness, please, as God has for each one of us.

For instance, when possible, the company said, it will schedule updates for games, apps and other software during times of the night when renewable sources are generating a higher proportion of electricity on the local grid. And Xbox will automatically update certain older consoles to an energy-saving mode meant to reduce electricity consumption when game time is over. That mode is already the default on newer models. The change comes at a small cost to gamers: It takes about 15 seconds to boot up an Xbox in power-saving mode compared to a sleep option from which the machine can instantly be woken up, [link=https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/redirect-to/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2023%2F1%2F11%2F23549812%2Fmicrosoft-xbox-series-x-s-energy-saver-mode-switch]according to the tech publication the Verge[/link].

Quote from sartoriusBIG
Its my opinion and the opinion of many that the woke industrial complex is out of control. Joe Rogan is but the latest example of the absurdity. The rock supported him then backtracked (this coming from the guy who called someone a tranvestite). Biden did the same thing Rogan did on video yet somehow the context matters in that case.
OK, so what is “woke?” Yeah, that idiot Joe Rogan. Yeah, that “I’m an idiot” joe Rogan defines “woke?” Or Ron DeSantis and Florida where “woke” goes to die? Or XBox “woke” because the are reducing the needed wattage of a game? “Woke” because LED lighting takes 1/10 the power for tungesten lights? Or Pink Floyd “woke” because their 1973 cover for “Dark Side Of The Moon” album has a rainbow?
So I am betting no one can definitely explain what “woke” means outside of its original use in the Black community and its new paranoid use by Conservatives/Republicans to explain what they hate about America.
Sartorius never defined it but he knows he hates it & imagines it’s in common use by the Libs.
Frankly, except for what I read and see by and about Ron DeSantis, Sartorius, Right-wingnut media in general, etc, no one & I mean NO ONE has ever told me to be “woke” in any context or conversation outside of Ron DeSantis’s antics. Until the Right-wingnut media started ranting about “woke” I can’t say I knew about being “woke.”
So tell me all you people who know what “woke” is or those of you just complaining about “woke,” what is it & what conversations have you ever had where some alleged “lib” told you to be woke? Or where you heard someone use it outside of Tucker/Rogan/DeSantis and company?
Talk about “We don’t need no education…”

[h1][b]In Kutztown schools, the rights culture warriors block a book on climate change[/b][/h1] In a Pennsylvania school district, the right’s culture war on kids and books has inevitably spread to a YA best-seller centered on climate change.
[link=https://www.readingeagle.com/2023/02/09/kutztown-one-book-one-school-literacy-program-halted-after-outcry-over-books-focus-on-climate-change/?clearUserState=true]According to the Reading Eagle[/link], Republican school board member Jason Koch described [i]Two Degrees[/i] as a fear-driven book, adding: Do we want our children to look at us in the way we live in this community and say its wrong? Kochs complaints were echoed by several parents albeit a minority of those who spoke out at a Kutztown Area board meeting last week. Said Daniel Wismer, father of two: There are messages that are really directed to middle schoolers to feel guilty about a whole host of things. And that guilt is designed to spur them into action. One of those actions is with their parents.
…
Indeed. The far-rights assault on what young people learn is [link=https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/attytood/george-floyd-protests-arkansas-police-brutality-20220823.html?outputType=default]an immoral panic [/link]that has only accelerated since the spring of 2020, when so many teens even in rural and conservative communities voiced support for Black Lives Matter after the police murder of George Floyd. The fact that what began as an attack on antiracism education given the scary misnomer critical race theory by conservatives has metastasized into assaults on the LGBTQ community and is now going after climate science is no surprise. Kutztown parent Wismer essentially said the quiet part out loud:[b] Conservatives are increasingly worried that a well-educated younger generation is rejecting their parents worldview.[/b][b]
[/b]…This has been the real impact of the right-wing anti-book crusade [link=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/31/florida-dont-say-gay-bill-teachers-lgbtq]to create a chill [/link]over the classroom that terrifies teachers from discussing any subject that might be controversial.

Vivek Ramaswamy leaves the boardroom for a barn in Iowa to test out his businessman-turned-culture-warrior brand on rural conservative voters.Ramaswamy was there to do what people with ambition, a thirst for the spotlight and an overflowing sense of self-confidence occasionally go to Iowa to do. He is exploring a run for president, testing, among other things, whether his warnings about the dangers of wokeism and socially-responsible investing in business vernacular whats called environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing has political currency with Republican politicians, business leaders and, yes, farmers.
Ramaswamy has a theory for how this will all go. He wants to pull off what Donald Trump did in 2016: enter the race with an entrepreneurial spirit, unorthodox ideas, and few expectations, and end up developing a major following that will carry him to the presidency even if it seems like a long shot at the moment.…
Ramaswamy insisted this trip to Iowa and other prep work hes doing for a potential run are serious; this isnt a play for attention, he said. He has already fashioned a policy platform: defeating China economically, firing the managerial class of the federal government, drastically changing or shutting down large numbers of federal agencies, reforming the national security apparatus and shunning affirmative action. He says he is plotting out his potential cabinet too, impressed with the intellect of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the likes of Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. (Pompeo, however, seems to have [link=https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/15/pompeo-trump-2024-announcement-decision-00066940]a different White House position[/link] in mind.)

Sorry Haters![/link][/h3] [h2]We had the Black national anthem, Rihanna and two Black starting quarterbacks for the first time ever. This wasnt the Super Bowl. This was Wakanda.[/h2]
…
The Blackest, most woke Super Bowl ever cant believe I wrote that since this is the Republican NFL, but here we are started by again featuring the Black national anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing, this time performed by Sheryl Lee Ralph.
America only has ONE NATIONAL ANTHEM, [link=https://www.foxnews.com/sports/black-national-anthem-super-bowl-stirs-debate-social-media]tweeted Lauren Boebert, leaning heavily on her all-caps key.[/link] Why is the NFL trying to divide us by playing multiple!? Do football, not wokeness.
…
…
Yes, some of this is tongue-in-cheek, but a lot isnt. The Super Bowl has become not just a game or a party, but also in some ways a mirror for us all. It reflects what we love, what we believe in, what we hate, what we want, what we dont.
…The bottom line is even these small moves {by the NFL with its [b]very[/b] conservative ownership group}, made only really within the past several years, drive some people bonkers. Think about how long some version of professional football has been around, about a century or so, and these are the only real actions the league has taken that resemble anything close to being progressive. For much of the leagues existence, its fully embraced segregation at the quarterback position and racism against Black coaches.
…
Thats why these steps look so transformative when they’re really pretty basic.
Whats that saying? When youre used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Im looking forward to the next Black Super Bowl when Roger Goodell does the “stanky leg.”
Actually, never mind on that last point.[/QUOTE]
