Ironic or Not?
A Disney movie featuring a main character who is gay is being shown in fifth grade classrooms. Critics blasted the movie as indoctrination in a "year of woke disasters for Disney."
Religious families were offended and others who do not think presenting children with the theory that there are more than two genders is valid. We have yet to examine any scientific basis/statistics for such science denial and parents want such matters as sex left to the home, church, and family, Therefore, many Americans look upon such actions as attacks on religion, home, family, American culture, and so forth.
American schools have been losing ground for decades, and now are in the twenties in reading, science, mathematics when we formerly held positions at the top of world testing. Government schools need return to the subjects they must be omitting from the curriculum in order to preach unsupported theories on sex and gender.
Even more interesting is the fact that the movie in question, “Strange World,” was not released in the Middle East, China, Indonesia, Turkey, Nigeria, Uganda and other countries because of its LGBTQIA story-line. In many of these countries practitioners might receive a death sentence for LGBTQ practices. Logic tells us Disney must respect the beliefs and practices of foreign cultures and not our own.
This is similar to those demanding books featuring sex, gender theories, etc. be placed in elementary school libraries and call it book banning if school boards choose age-appropriate shelving. To throw the term “book banning” around when one has not even read Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 or seen the movie is ironic.
