Astounded. Confounded. Stupefied. Dumbstruck.
Let’s review the situation, shall we, Livingston Post? A political party sends a big wake-up call to Hartland parents and taxpayers by providing concrete evidence of what has been given to their students for years, and the progressive pronoun-using, transgender-affirming crowd feigns shock/horror/dismay at such a sight of material.
Please. Seriously. Stop it.
Do you have any idea how vacuous and intellectually bankrupt your argument sounds?
You are the same crowd that had no problem with various Livingston County school officials and Democrat politicians Whitmer and Slotkin reading “I Am Jazz” in a video which is a story of a young post-pubescent teen changing from he to she. A book with an advised reading age of 4 to 8 years old according to Amazon. (Editor’s note: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer did not participate in the “I Am Jazz” reading.)
You are the same crowd who has denied anything like this has been going on in our schools and criticizing, harassing, and doxing parents who have dared to speak up at school board meetings regarding this and other questionable classroom materials such as gay pride flags and BLM signs.
You are the same crowd that has no problem voting for Proposal 3.
Yet, here you are, like a bunch of pearl-clutching, Sunday-school spinsters getting your first look at a National Geographic issue on the shirtless nomadic tribes of the Savannah.
Just stop it. The faux outrage would be laughable if it weren’t so hypocritical.
And the extremely lame argument that parents had to sign a consent form for reading those books – no parent expects the content of a book being given out by professionals that they trust with their children to put that kind of filth in front of them in the first place. But it’s the parents’ job to read them first? Really?
So if you are a Hartland resident that is so deeply upset about being awakened to what the children of Hartland have been exposed to for years, and you want to blame the MESSENGER, you shouldn’t be voting at all. You lack the critical thinking skill level and emotional maturity to participate in such an important decision-making process.
The Clean Slate did not send that flyer, but I must admit my jealousy in not thinking of it first.
Nov. 8 can’t get here soon enough.
