Yeah, small potatoes while she's out there accusing those on drag of grooming children for simply existing in drag and reading a book. Small potatoes while she's accusing gay people of being sexual in front of children for being gay. Uh huh. This doesn't matter. Of course. There's no hypocrisy whatsoever.

So this was an all ages event with children present?

Interesting party of the article. Maybe this isn't the equivalency you want it to be. "While the account correctly pointed out that people 15 and older were allowed to attend, the organizer of the Drag Queen Bingo event, the Santa Clarita Valley Democrats, released a statement explaining that no one under the age of 18 was present."

Any democratic president is supposed to just be magic at forcing anything they want to happen.

How does any of this lower my grocery bill? Or gas or rent or daycare? I just found out it will cost nearly $25,000 a year for my family's health insurance. How am I supposed to feel good about the economy when I hear that?

I would argue all the judges nominated and confirmed will have implications lasting multiple lifetimes.

I fail to see anywhere in the article where they talk about the flag being related to activism. What exactly were they trying to accomplish with the flag? Where did you see the proof of that in the article?

The display included a book with this symbol and "the books Emma & Mommy Talk to God, The Color Purple, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Separate is Never Equal, Wonder, and To Kill a Mockingbird". Is the rest of it also activism? Or just the flag because they mistook it for being about gay people? Why were the rest of the books ok? Or are they not in your eyes?

Or because if you argue one thing is indoctrination and shouldn't be allowed, then the other thing that is indoctrination shouldn't be allowed either.

Edit: Also for the record, it's not "whataboutism" because a religious book was part of the display with the symbol for neuro divergence. Just fyi.

"The display also included the books Emma & Mommy Talk to God, The Color Purple, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Separate is Never Equal, Wonder, and To Kill a Mockingbird."

No, it's not. It's an example for you to understand. Religion, particular Christianity, is everywhere in some parts of the US. Most people probably don't even notice. To others, a rainbow is the same way. It's a pretty decoration just like a cross or the signs up in my kid's school, In God We Trust. No one would say a cross is political, but it is absolutely in support of, and in certain locations, normalizing that religion should exist here. And there are absolutely people who advocate unless you are one particular religion or subset of that religion you are not a "real" American.

It makes sense to equate showing Christian paraphernalia with showing support for LGBTQ, or in this case neuro divergent people, because of how two sides see them. I'm not Christian. I don't want my children raised Christian or in any particular religion for that matter. But they are being exposed to multiple aspects of religion every day in school. Is that not indoctrination, however subtle? Those who argue against the pride flag being shown in public insist that the publicity of the flag indoctrinates children.

Now which is actually correct? Does a flag celebrating differences make it more likely that children will be non-heteronormative or neuro divergent? Or does it make it more likely that the children will feel accepted and not hide who they are? Does exposing children to multiple parts of religious practices make it more likely that those children will believe that said religion is true and more likely to hide if they don't believe it because everyone around them seems to?

In your view are pride flags political? If so, why? Who made them about politics?

And there's only two genders. Male and political. Two races. White and political.

But Jesus is too woke now.
