They are probably terrified at the prospect of students being taught by legions of teachers the likes of the Jean Dubois character In Heinlein’s Starship Troopers. Next thing you know there will be a course on History and Moral Philosophy and honorable military service will become a prerequisite for citizenship and the right to vote.

Declan Finn has written an article titled "Fisking the Atlantic's Fear of the Rosary." In it he brought my attention to the existence of the following novelty Item: a concealed carry license to carry a Rosary. The idea that I might need to a license to carry a Rosary, openly or concealed, is something I find terrifying. Also, Inspirational to save money for more guns and ammo, even as I pray I never need them.

Some years ago, I suggested the following thought experiment, "A man has a Rosary in his hand and a pistol on his belt. If you wish to forcibly stop him from praying the Rosary, what do you do first?

There are reasons why people call the right to keep and bear arms the First Freedom.

Re: lying to the young

At most 10% of the population is homosexual, and less than 5% exclusively so.* About .6% of the population is transgender/transsexual. 1.7% of the population is intersex.

Discussion of how to protect the rights of gay (male and female), transgender, and intersex people that disregards these facts, such as people claim is occurring among the "woke" leads neither to the protection of LGBTQ rights nor increased respect for people's dignity. What it will do is add to anger and persecution down the line of both straight and LGBTQ populations. Then again, anger, persecution, and resistance create circumstances favorable to the rise of dictators. One wonders if this is the goal.

*Some researchers claim it is about 6.8%.
