All Must Work to End the ‘War on Men on Campus’

WASHINGTON / July 10, 2023 – A new commentary probes the reasons for the declining presence of male students on college campuses – only 8 million men, compared to 11.4 million women in 2020-21.

Authored by Jennifer Kabbany, the War on Men Continues on Campus recounts that “Nowhere has the feminist goal of domination been more clearly realized than on the college campus.” (1) The analysis goes on to reveal a series of stereotypes, programs, humiliation, and smear tactics that refute any lingering notion of fundamental fairness or “gender equality:”

Stereotypes: The denigration of males begins at freshmen orientation, and permeates the entire college experience. “The nebulous term maleness is often used as a curricula cudgel when teaching subjects such as colonialism, capitalism, and systemic and institutional racism,” Kabbany explains.

Programs: Kabbany highlights the “high volume of female-only university scholarships, fellowships, internships, academic aid, and STEM programs.” College administrators apparently have never heard of the federal Title IX law that bans discrimination of students on the basis of sex.

Public Humiliation: Recalling the “struggle” sessions conducted during the Mao Zedong era, “Many colleges also host so-called privilege walks in which male students are told to step forward to acknowledge their advantages in life,” Kabbany reveals.

Smears: Campus feminists do not hesitate to resort to non-democratic methods: “The cancel culture mob is also quick to protest any frat that steps out of line, most notably over sexual assault allegations. Rather than hold to the adage ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ student activists hold marches, launch petitions, and engage in public smear campaigns to try allegations in the court of public opinion.”

Economist Mark Perry sums up the “future is female” ethos thusly: “Female privilege. It’s power, privilege, and payback, exploiting the victimhood narrative.”

Former University of Ottawa professor Janice Fiamengo takes the argument a step farther, calling out the prevalence of “feminist injustice” and “bigotry.” (2)

Emphasizing that men are “truly the backbone of our society,” Kabbany warns that these Marxist-inspired tactics threaten the very fabric of society: “Feminism’s goal to neuter men has weakened families, derailed lives, and advanced unhealthy policies, and, ultimately, it is destroying our nation.”

The politicization of higher education. The open disregard for the law. Revolutionary rhetoric. Struggle sessions. Mob justice. It happened during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. And history is repeating itself here in the United States.

U.S. Department of Education: The New ‘Evil Empire’?

U.S. Department of Education: The New ‘Evil Empire’?

WASHINGTON / July 5, 2023 – The Constitution defines the authorities and roles of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government as having co-equal powers (1). But in the past two years, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has repeatedly ignored this bedrock principle:

In its proposed Title IX regulation, re-wrote the meaning of the First and Fourteenth Amendments, to the severe detriment of free speech and due process (2).
Proposed to expand the definition of sex to include “gender identity,” thereby usurping the responsibility of Congress to exercise “All legislative Powers.”
Overhauled the definition of sexual harassment:

- Supreme Court Davis v. Monroe: Actions that are “so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so undermines and detracts from the victims’ educational experience.” (3)
- New definition on the DOE website: “Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.” (4)

Now, the Department of Education has gone beyond trampling on the authority of the Constitution, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Following release of its controversial Title IX proposal in 2022, the DOE has aggressively promoted the transgender agenda, which has had the effect of:

Weakening the authority of parents: “Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day.” – DOE Secy. Miguel Cardona, May 19, 2023 (5).
Promoting harmful and irreversible “gender transitioning” among under-age children, often without parental knowledge or consent (6).
Enabling violent attacks and bomb threats by transgender activists (7), including the March 27 attack at Covenant School in Nashville that killed six children and staff members.

During the month of June, the DOE issued eight tweets in support of Pride Month (8). The June 1 tweet went far beyond DOE’s Congressionally mandated authority by offering this sweeping endorsement: “Our message to LGBTQI+ students, teachers, and staff as we begin #PrideMonth: ED has got your back.” (9)

Accordingly, at the annual Drag March in New York City, hundreds of drag performers chanted, “We’re here. We’re queer. We’re coming for your children.” (10) In response, pundits referred to the marchers as “demonic” and “evil.” (11) The liberal-leaning Gays Against Groomers reached a similar conclusion about persons who might say a child was born in the wrong body: “And telling them otherwise is EVIL.” (12)

Not surprisingly, five Republican presidential candidates are now calling for the abolition of the Department of Education (13):

Ron DeSantis: In response to the question, Are you in favor of eliminating any agencies: “We would do education, commerce, energy, and the IRS….With the Department of Education, we reverse all the transgender sports stuff. Women’s sports should be protected.”
Mike Pence: “Eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and convert some of its current budget to grants to states and localities, providing maximum flexibility in how to deploy federal dollars.”
Mike Pompeo: Asked by commentator John Stossel, “Should America abolish the Department of Education?” Pompeo replied, “Yes, you should get rid of it.”
Vivek Ramaswamy: “I would shut down the U.S. Department of Education…Do I favor 6-year-olds being educated on sexuality and gender ideology? No, I don’t.”
Tim Scott: “The federal government has absolutely no role in our education system whatsoever. So let’s get them out and let’s abolish the Department of Education.”

Lawmakers are urged to institute appropriate responses to curtail the illegal actions of the U.S. Department of Education.

HOAX: White House Claim of a ‘Surge’ of ‘Hate-Fueled Violence’ Against Transgenders is Total Inversion of the Truth

HOAX: White House Claim of a ‘Surge’ of ‘Hate-Fueled Violence’ Against Transgenders is Total Inversion of the Truth

June 19, 2023 – The White House announced a new initiative on June 8 to counter a purported “surge” of “hate-fueled violence” against the LGBTQI+ community (1). But a review of evidence from the Department of Homeland Security and the Human Rights Campaign reveals no evidence of any “surge” of violence against transgender persons.

Department of Homeland Security: The White House “FACT SHEET” links to the Department of Homeland Security’s Summary of Terrorism-Related Threat to the United States (2). The DHS Summary lists four “terrorism-related” incidents that occurred in 2023.

One incident was the March shooting by transgender Audrey Hale of three students and staff members in Nashville (3). The other incident involved the burning of an Ohio church that was planning to hold a drag-themed event (4).

The two other incidents listed by DHS had no connection to LGBTQI+ issues (5,6).

Human Rights Campaign: The Human Rights Campaign tracks homicides of transgendered and nonbinary persons. Thus far in 2023, the HRC lists 12 homicides of these persons. A review of these cases provides no evidence of a “surge” of violence, or that the murders were “hate-fueled.” Indeed, the HRC reveals, “Most of these victims were killed by partners and acquaintances.” (7)

Real Surge of Violence: A surge of transgender-related violence has occurred in recent months. In contrast to the White House claim, the attacks have been perpetrated by transgender activists. SAVE has documented 20 such cases thus far in 2023. The incidents involved murders, bomb threats, and other assaults against parents, children, law enforcement, and others (8).

The most recent incident, reported on June 14, was the life sentence handed down to Dana Rivers, a prominent trans rights activist, for Rivers’ triple homicide of a lesbian couple and their son. Alameda County Judge Scott Patton described the bloody attack as “The most depraved crime that I’ve ever handled.” (9)

Overall, a detailed review of the cases listed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Human Rights Campaign identifies only one incident that could be classified as “hate-fueled” — the Ohio church conflagration. A single incident does not qualify as a “surge.”

In contrast, SAVE identified three incidents of violence by transgender persons in 2022, and 20 such cases thus far in 2023. This six-fold increase in a single year clearly represents a “surge” of violence committed by transgender individuals.

The claim of a “surge” of “hate-fueled” violence against the LGBTQI+ community is a categorical inversion of the truth.

SAVE urges persons to contact the White House and tell them to retract its dishonest “FACT SHEET” about transgender violence. Telephone: 202-456-1111. Email: comments@whitehouse.gov

False Allegations Forum: Pushing Back on Legal Dominance Ideology

By Sean Parker

June 14, 2023

‘But eventually Dum spiro spero – ‘while I breathe, I hope”

The False Allegations Forum (FAF) is a union of various groups working in the UK FA movement, supporting those claiming to be falsely accused, their families and loved ones. The Forum includes representatives of FACT, FASO, PPMI, Accused.me, Fighting for the Falsely Accused, Letters to the Establishment, Empowering the Innocent and individual campaigners, and the remit is on putting the accumulated knowledge and experience of a 25-plus years campaign into action.

In the inaugural meeting in early June 2023, subjects were raised such as the Law Commission’s proposal to make theoretical ‘rape myths’ obligatory to be followed by judges, juryless trials, recovery groups for the falsely accused, and how all who go through this process are treated in the media. If judges are to decide alone, how will they ascertain that defendants were aware of these supposed rape myth-based offences at the time of the alleged incident beyond reasonable doubt?

It is acknowledged that the moves by ‘progressive’ activists to transform the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ standard to ‘conviction-upon-allegation’ started in the 1990s with the care home scandal in North Wales and the north of England. Each time the media cycle turns (whether that be through stories such as those of Bill Clinton, John Worboys, Jimmy Savile, Carl Beech or Harvey Weinstein), a new chunk seems to be lopped off the once apparently golden trunk of the British justice system.

If the intention is to outlaw casual sex even further than it has been already in the 21^st century, then the new proposals by the Criminal Law Reform Network (CLRN) to make ‘deceit sex’ a new offence should do the trick. However, as was raised by Ian Osborne at the meeting, his son John Lee Osborne was already serving a sentence of 18 years due to such allegations – of which he maintains his innocence, some four years after conviction. This proposal puts putting the cart before the horse into absurd new territory.

Should all contested convictions for category 2-3 rape or sexual assault from 2003 onwards be judicially reviewed with the presumption of the new category of ‘sexual misadventure’? The justice system has gone beyond ‘believing the victims’ to determination to not further upset complainants, however variable the recollections. By pushing the same levers of power as trans activists in attempting to invert natural reality, legal dominance ideologues are trying to redefine sexual behaviour with the presumption of these so-called ‘rape myths’ (recently discredited by Nuffield Foundation research, as reported by Joshua Rozenburg).

The weaponisation of ‘shame’ in the false allegations industry ensures that almost all successful appeals are reported as being on ‘technicalities’, since the accused mostly want to run and hide when it’s all over, and ‘new evidence’ is required for convictions which have increasingly needed no evidence to convict in the first place.

Power-preoccupied activists versus The People is the name of the game in the media affiliated political realm, as the question of whether the patriarchy of Moses or Mick Jagger that needs dismantling is next on the news agenda. Clare’s Law is one in an array of named laws, spannered through after the death of a woman at the hands a man; in this case a mentally deranged ex-turned-stalker. This law ensures that potential new partners are told about the criminal records of their new beaus, regardless of their maintaining innocence stance or lack of violence/controlling behaviours. This is in effect a counter-intuitive overreach, with no interest in being on a case-by-case basis, since the risk criteria in allegations of sexual misconduct is already so vast, and vehemently contested.

The counter-discourse of the False Allegations Forum opens up all such arbitrary – if well meaning – moves up to a scrutiny many of them didn’t seem to receive in the House of Commons. Even when MP Christopher Chope asked for a pause to hear the ‘upskirting’ bill -as all MPs are in fact required to do – he was hurricaned by incensed politicos and their facilitating activists.

Fake doctors and activist academics abound in this sphere, grandstanding on Twitter and emotioneering from their legally-tenured day jobs at Chambers or in universities. Their activities since 2003 (at least) have engendered a sort of New Protestantism across society, as the progressive agenda of what has come to be known as ‘woke’ has run up against a far deeper culture of pragmatic thought.

The false allegations industry has made the dating scene a new minefield, as online swipe-rights have met Tinder or Plenty of Fish-era playboys, newly relabelled ‘predators’. The CLRN’s proposed new offence of deceit sex would make lying about being in a relationship punishable as a form of rape – as could be posing with an expensive car when (he) can’t in fact even afford the insurance. Seduction by pretence used to be the stuff of light films, and often a part of how a couple met. Now that is to be criminalised, leading to even more bizarre hearings – spun in the press as journalists are apparently compelled to do.

The intellectual cowardice involved in forever pitching empathy versus objectivity in a culture that has for some decades been degrading masculinity has resulted in biased media reports being essentially an abuse of free speech principles. Whatever his other moves as Justice Secretary, the orchestrated, bullying pile-on on to the admittedly redoubtable Dominic Raab was an example of the politicised defenestration of an alpha male: Raab’s unapologetic discontinuation of radfem-in-high-office Vera Baird’s contract as Victims Commissioner clearly unacceptable.

Legal dominance ideology is eroding if not destroying western institutions, removing elected officials if they don’t follow the prescribed progressive narrative. The new and non restrictive definition of MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) is distinct from ‘incel’ (involuntary celibate) culture by resembling a sort of postmodern priesthood in its uncompromising, exasperated reaction to extreme establishment feminism. The benefits of heteronormative relationships are increasingly failing to outweigh the negatives.

There is no actual patriarchy any more in the Anglosphere – if there indeed ever was – but there has been a class system, which has been replaced by Diversity, Equality and Inclusion policies as the new elite ruling class. Jurassic prisons, with their inmates as dinosaurs of the cultural revolution, are housing thousands of less high profile Gary Glitter-type cases, with completely understandable ‘dark web’ curiosities standing against them in appraisal of their ‘risk factors’. An allegedly predatory appetite in 1975 is not the same as a hypervigilant, neurotic OAP in the mid 2020s, but the false allegations industry has no interest in recognising that nuance, particularly in those prisons’ eagerness to deny prisoners communications.

Trying to appease the new pseudo-liberals while they merrily cancel Rock n’ Roll as a problematic artform is an endless slog, as the radical feminists take on the Trans activists, lumped in with the Men’s Rights Activists, all of them out-moralising each other over free speech taboos – be they holocaust exaggeration, slavery, rape myths, or the age of consent.

SAVE Condemns Recent Wave of Bomb Threats and Attacks by Transgender Activists

June 13, 2023 – Over the weekend, transgender activists made bomb threats against Target stores in five states: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. The threats represent the most recent escalation of unlawful actions by proponents of transgender rights.

SAVE has identified the following incidents that occurred in the past two weeks:

June 2, North Hollywood, CA: As a group of parents wearing “Leave Our Kids Alone” T-shirts were protesting an upcoming PRIDE Assembly at a local school, a group of LGBT activists rushed the parents, pushing and shoving them. One arrest was made (1).

June 3, Dallas, TX: During a “kid-friendly” drag show, a protester waved a sign saying, “Keep Kids Out Of Pride Month.” In response, trans activists repeatedly threatened, “Somebody is going to shoot you in the head.” (2)

June 6, Glendale, CA: Antifa member Erik Boyd was arrested for his involvement in a brawl with parents who were protesting Pride Month plans as they were being discussed at a school board meeting (3).

June 10, Lafayette, LA: Multiple Target stores were targeted with bomb threats by suspected LGBTQ activists for removing Pride merchandise (4).

June 10, Oklahoma City, OK: Several Target stores were evacuated after receiving bomb threats that warned, “We hid the bombs inside some product items. The bombs will detonate in several hours, guess which ones have the bombs. Time is ticking.” (5)

June 11, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York: A spate of bomb threats led to the evacuation of numerous Target stores over the weekend after Target removed some of its Pride merchandise (6).

The wave of violence can be traced to a June 2022 Department of Education proposal that seeks to redefine sex to include “gender identity.” (7) That same month, the Trans Resistance Network began to issue inflammatory tweets that referred to transgender critics as “fascists” and made the claim that “Disarming trans people is a preparation for genocide.” (8)

These actions served to embolden and radicalize the transgender movement, presaging a surge of violent incidents around the country.

The attacks have come as members of the gay and lesbian community began to voice criticisms of the transgender movement (9). Gays Against Groomers recently deplored the fact that, “The radical alphabet activists have done more harm to our community than the biggest truly hateful bigot could ever hope to.” (10)

SAVE has identified 21 dangerous incidents committed by transgender activists since last October (11). SAVE condemns this campaign of violence as a deplorable example of domestic terrorism, and calls on authorities to take strong action.

Dwindling Support Among Gay Community for Transgender Agenda

Dwindling Support Among Gay Community for Transgender Agenda

June 8, 2023 – Gay teacher Ray Shelton recently addressed a meeting of the Glendale Unified School District. Twice named Teacher of the Year, Shelton explained to the board:

“Two plus two equals four. The world is not flat. Boys have penises; girls have vaginas. Gender is binary and cannot be changed. Biology is not bigotry. Heterosexuality is not hate. Gender confusion and gender delusion are deep psychological disorders. No caring professional or loving parent would ever support the chemical poisoning or surgical mutilation of a child’s genitalia….And I can also say this as a gay man.” (1)

The California incident illustrates the reality of dwindling support in the gay and lesbian community for the transgender agenda.

One of the strongest critics of transgender ideology is Gays Against Groomers, which describes itself as an “organization of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children under the guise of LGBTQIA+.” (2)

Jaimee Michell, president of Gays Against Groomers, recently explained, “As a lesbian and the founder of Gays Against Groomers, I’m done with Pride. Because it’s become a degenerate kink-fest…They’re shoving it down everyone’s throats, especially children’s. It’s disgusting.” (3)

David Leatherwood, Gays Against Groomers secretary, charged, “I’m done with Pride because it’s become an embarrassment. As a gay man, I want nothing to do with it. All it has become now is a celebration of debauchery, indulgence in narcissism, victimhood, and grooming of kids.” (3)

Another outspoken critic is gay activist Simon Edge, who recently derided the transgender movement as “trying to redefine language, reorganize public toilets and changing rooms, kibosh women’s sport and take control of HR departments.” Edge concludes, “Some people don’t think the T belongs with the LGB.” (4)

Transgenderism has become emboldened in recent months by proposed changes to the federal Title IX sex discrimination law (5). Its advocates claim they are working for inclusion and equality. In fact, they are resorting to the use of coercion and violence (6) in their quest to eliminate fairness in women’s sports, persuade vulnerable children to undergo life-altering medical procedures, and encroach on parental rights (7).

Democratic and Republican lawmakers around the country are urged to join forces to oppose any bills being considered that are designed to promote the transgender agenda.

UN Women Must Renounce Its Support for Dishonest and Dangerous Transgender Agenda

June 6, 2023 – The transgender agenda is a global movement that seeks to erase the distinctions between male and female, thereby weakening the nuclear family (1). Recent weeks have witnessed a rapid expansion of opposition by groups and persons from both the Left and Right.

One of the strongest critics is Gays Against Groomers, a liberal-leaning group that describes itself as an “organization of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children under the guise of LGBTQIA+.” The group has chapters in Canada, Japan, and the United States (2).

Another vocal critic is British gay activist Simon Edge, who recently derided the transgender movement as “trying to redefine language, reorganise public toilets and changing rooms, kibosh women’s sport and take control of HR departments.” Edge concludes, “Some people don’t think the T belongs with the LGB.” (3)

Echoing many of these concerns, Canadian libertarian Wendy McElroy reveals, “Critics of the trans movement are rebelling against the forced redefinition of biology, the destruction of women’s sports by trans athletes, the hijacking of children’s education, the medical experiment of gender-transitioning children, and the intrusion of penises in women-only spaces.” (4)

In the United States, transgenderism has been emboldened by proposed changes to the Title IX sex discrimination law (5). In recent weeks, the stock prices of Anheuser-Busch (6) and Target (7) have plummeted due to their promotion of trans-themed products.

American media personality Megyn Kelly recently affirmed that she will not engage in the “dishonesty” of using preferred pronouns because they constitute a “gateway drug to genital mutilation.” (8) Twitter CEO Elon Musk is more candid in his analysis: “Gender-affirming care for minors is pure evil.” (9)

Transgenderism has been denounced by the Pope (10), Moslem clerics (11), and other religious groups (12).

To advance its agenda, transgender activists are stifling free speech and resorting to the use of violence (13).

Despite these concerns, UN Women has issued a number of pro-trans tweets in recent days (14), and published a series of reports and position statements in support of the transgender movement (15-17).

Lawmakers around the world are invited to contact UN Women and urge the agency to immediately renounce its support for transgenderism, or face major reductions in its financial support.

Contact information for UN Women liaison offices around the world is available online (18).

Attorneys General to DOE: We will “fight your proposed changes to Title IX with every available tool in our arsenal.”

WASHINGTON / June 5, 2023 – The Biden Department of Education (DOE) has issued two draft Title IX regulations that would have broad effects on schools and on society. Among a wide range of changes, the first proposal would expand the definition of biological “sex” to include “gender identity.” (1) The second would promote the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports (2).

If approved, the proposals would have far-reaching, harmful consequences in other areas such as free speech, due process, parental rights, religious freedom, and gender transitioning of minors (3).

On May 15, 2023 a coalition of 22 state Attorneys General sent a letter to the Department of Education, emphasizing their opposition to the Biden Administration’s proposed athletics regulation. The strongly worded letter from MS, AL, AR, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MT, NE, ND, OH, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, and WV states,

“The proposed rule defies Title IX’s text, history, and purpose. It disregards five decades of evidence showing the benefits of applying the traditional definition of biological sex in sports. It ignores basic considerations of privacy and dignity. And it fails to meet the Department’s duty to analyze costs and benefits.” (4)

This letter is the latest missive from a coalition of Attorneys General opposing the Biden administration’s proposed Title IX regulations:

June 23, 2022: Eighteen Attorneys General sent a letter to the DOE warning, “we will fight your proposed changes to Title IX with every available tool in our arsenal.” (5)
June 27, 2022: The Attorneys General of AL, AK, AZ, AR, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MS, MO, MT, NE, OH, OK, SC, SD, TN, and WV amended a prior lawsuit, which resulted in a Preliminary Injunction placed on the draft Title IX regulation (6).
September 12, 2022: Responding during the regulation’s open comment period, Attorneys General submitted three separate letters to the DOE:
- Indiana, joined by the Attorneys General from AL, AZ, AR, GA, KS, KY, LA, MS, MT, NE, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, and WV (7).
- Montana, joined by the Attorneys General from AL, AR, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MS, NE, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, and VA (8).
- Ohio, joined by the Attorneys General from AL, AK, AR, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MS, MT, NE, OK, SC, SD, UT, WV, AND WY (9).

SAVE commends the persistent and principled efforts of the Attorneys General seeking to block the Biden administration’s deeply-flawed Title IX proposals.

Supreme Court Must Resolve the Many Circuit Splits that Divide Students’ Rights

Supreme Court Must Resolve the Many Circuit Splits that Divide Students’ Rights

Benjamin North

Associate & Title IX Advisor, Binnall Law Group

May 24, 2023

When a student graduates from high school and looks at potential colleges, they don’t typically do legal research to see where their federal rights differ across federal circuits. They make a very reasonable assumption that their basic rights are the same, because all colleges in the United States are subject to the same federal laws. Unfortunately, this could not be further from the truth when it comes to student discipline. And the recent proliferation of litigation against colleges (meticulously tracked by Brooklyn College professor KC Johnson [1]) has only made the issue more dire.

Court simply cannot agree on the Title IX disciplinary process. Without uniformity in the law, students across the country are subject to wildly different standards, both with respect to what process a university must take before depriving students of their education, and as to what they must allege in a lawsuit if it becomes necessary to correct discriminatory disciplinary actions in court.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has been thus far reluctant to take any of these issues up on certiorari, and its continued delay in resolving these divides will only result in more inconsistencies. Students deserve the same rights under the same law, and it is critical that the Supreme Court ensure that basic consistency.

The first area in which courts are split is the requirement of constitutional due process; that is, the process that a public school must follow before depriving its students of their education in the form of a suspension or expulsion.

The threshold question, of course, is whether education is protected by due process, and if there is any “due process” required at all. If there is no due process required at all, public schools are free as a constitutional matter to expel tuition paying students for no reason at all, and students have no recourse.

While this would seem on its face to be unjust and incompatible with our system of government (and contrary to existing Supreme Court law in Goss v. Lopez [2]), federal district courts in the Fourth Circuit [3] consistently decline to find any protected interest in public university students’ education, leading to that same result: that students are not entitled to any due process at all. While several circuit courts have held that due process applies (at least the First, [4] Fifth, [5] Sixth, [6] Seventh, [7] and Eighth [8] Circuits), the continued failure of the Supreme Court to address the issue directly means that students in the Fourth Circuit very likely will continue to be on the receiving end of judicial opinions that fail to recognize any due process interests whatsoever. Students deserve a clear and basic rule, that due process applies in the public university setting.

Of course, once it is decided that due process applies, the next question is what process is due? On this question, circuits also are split.

The Sixth Circuit, for example, held in Doe v. Baum [9] that live adversarial cross examination was required by due process in student discipline cases where credibility is an issue. The First Circuit disagreed, holding in Haidak v. University of Massachusetts-Amherst [10] that live cross examination is not required; rather, impartial questioning by a hearing panel is required. Setting aside the point that the Sixth Circuit took the correct approach (the standard of an “impartial” hearing panel is more vague and far less workable that simply requiring cross examination, among other issues), the issue remains that students in different circuits have different rights, under the same Constitution.

Similarly, circuits are split on what Title IX requires in these cases. The Second Circuit held in Yusuf v. Vassar College [11] that students seeking to remedy discriminatory discipline under Title IX must plead “erroneous outcome” or “selective enforcement” causes of action under the statute. The Seventh Circuit in Doe v. Purdue [12] disagreed, holding that students need only plead facts sufficient to infer discrimination (which tracks almost exactly the language of the Title IX statute itself). This is a foundational difference on what it takes to bring a Title IX lawsuit in the first place, and again, students have wildly different standards based on where they live or attend school.

Even more alarming, sometimes schools assert during litigation that they may have been biased against the student, but it wasn’t on the basis of sex. This argument, schools hope, saves them from liability under Title IX because the law does not prohibit schools from railroading students per se, only if they do so on the basis of the student’s sex.

Circuits again disagree on whether this argument is sufficient to save the school from liability, or put another way, whether a student has to disprove other potential causes of discipline before getting to discovery or to trial. For example, whereas the Eleventh Circuit in Doe v. Samford [13] affirmed a dismissal of a Title IX lawsuit because the student did not disprove other potential causes of the discipline (other than bias on the basis of sex) in his complaint, the Tenth Circuit in Doe v. University of Denver [14] permitted a lawsuit to go to trial on this issue. The Tenth Circuit reasoned, correctly, that the issue of what bias the university used (bias on the basis of sex or bias on the basis of the student being the accused) is a question of fact that needs to be resolved by a jury, because it comes down to what is more believable. Once again, circuits are split, and students across the country do not have uniform rights.

The above is not an exhaustive listing of all of the disagreements among the federal circuit courts in this area. There are other important areas where courts disagree, including the causation standard for Title IX. But for sake of brevity, suffice it to say that students across the country do not have a clear view of what their rights are. Students deserve the same rights under the same law, and I desperately hope that the Supreme Court takes the opportunity to make that a reality in the near future.

Children at Risk. What is Happening Now?

Once again, the insane LGTBI propaganda has taken off as it always does at this time. Many of you see this as a topic that doesn’t concern him, many of you are bored by this topic, or downright annoyed by this topic. Unfortunately for most people in this society they wave their hands over it and act like it doesn’t concern them.

Beware OMYL!

It mainly concerns them and it concerns children.

The point is that LGBT activists and non-profits are not targeting any minority at all, gays, lesbians, etc., that is not their target group of people. Their target group is children. And they’re mainly the children of you heterosexuals.

It’s been coming out basically in years past, but it wasn’t as obvious there, it’s obvious now.

Let’s start with the symbolism.

You’ve probably noticed that the rainbow flag, the LGBT flag, we’ve changed a little bit, we’ve added a pink and white tip. It’s a symbol of transgender, but it’s basically a symbol of transideology, and here it’s already a really big SURPRISE!

Because that transideology is what trans activists and non-profits are incredibly attacking children with right now. If we look to America where this is coming from, it’s gotten to the point where LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual) groups there are tearing themselves apart and distancing themselves from trans and queer. In our country, queer, are transvestites, are men who dress up in women’s clothes. These activists and non-profits are now targeting children in incredible ways.

If we’re talking pro-marriage for all that’s another thing that’s totally unacceptable for us to endorse. Because it legitimizes all of these ideologies and opens the door to exactly

All the countries that have passed this agenda, whether it’s marriage for all and other legislative procedures, not as you’re told on TV and in the media and by politicians that it hasn’t hurt anybody, that it’s been working there for 20, 30 years.

WRONG!

It has hurt there. It hurt thousands, maybe tens of thousands of just children and it hurt their parents. Because these countries are characterized by three things in particular:

A very low and ever-decreasing birth rate even for heterosexual couples.
Increased and increasing numbers of children suffering from gender dysphoria and it is only because of this propaganda and in many of them especially in the UK and progressive states of the USA, trans clinics have sprung up to re-educate children! This monstrosity has been noticed by gays and lesbians themselves and in some states they are distancing themselves heavily from it and starting to fight against it. That is why it is absolutely important that this year we really pay due attention to this and sweep it off the table. Because this year, this particular period that has started is absolutely groundbreaking and it is a turning point!

If anyone doesn’t believe that, I have two pieces of evidence for you that LGBT activists, and especially trans activists, are all about the children. It’s about four months ago, when in Germany, and I’ll take Germany as an example, because it’s closer to us than the UK or the US……Regenboren-portal.DE, which is a non-profit rainbow organisation that falls directly under the Ministry of Family Affairs, there was an advert targeting 10-year-olds recommending puberty blockers. Puberty blockers are used to treat adolescents who have real problems, but to offer puberty blockers to all kids and to advertise it, asking them: Am I transgender? How do I know? And then it says, “Take your time, try it. Do you feel better as a girl? Or do you feel more comfortable as a boy? The important thing is, you’re supposed to do well. Who you are at 10 doesn’t matter. Are you a man, are you a woman? You don’t have to decide right now.”

The second column says, “Take puberty blockers. You’re still very young, and you’re not in puberty yet, or you don’t want to go into puberty yet? Then take puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers have untold side effects in many children and adolescents, even lifelong consequences. What the activists claim (and I encounter this today and daily) is that it’s only short term and has short term effects and then it basically wears off. NO! IT WILL NOT EXPIRE.

After a few days, this non-profit was forced to take down this ad because there was such strong opposition from parents that they pulled the ad. But as you can see the progression, this rainbow progression is now really targeted at children.

It’s crazy. For those for whom this is not enough, I have another message:

A photo has surfaced in Berlin’s underground railway. For the city district… they’re looking for kindergarten teachers and tutors. These posters are several meters long! How many of you would like your children to be educated in a kindergarten?

The text of the poster is: “Does it play any role at all? Queer and one or one, a good tutor or governess. That’s important to us. Sign up.”

This is already heavily over the edge, because the so-called Queer, in our country it’s called transvestites, so it’s the closest thing to that. They’re biologically men who don’t even want to become women and just have this fetish that they like to dress up in women’s clothes.

I have now ordered a book which is from the USA, it’s called ‘Queer and Gender’. This book in the state of Illinois is mandatory in school libraries, it is in the form of a comic book. If the state school administrators decide to remove these books, they will not get any money from the state. What’s in this book? A grown, hardened adult’s stomach churns. For example, there are depictions of two ten-year-old boys giving oral pleasure. This is presented to children as part of their school curriculum. The next book is even “cooler”. In this book for children aged 10 and up (this age is the target group for the lobbyists because they are pre-pubescent children) they are taught how to clean their anus before sex, or how two men orally satisfy themselves, or two women, etc. In this book, they even learn what a “skit” is, which is a sexual practice in which excrement is ingested. It’s in the article and in the photo.

When a FB user writes to me that he doesn’t care, that there are pictures like this on the internet and kids will find it, I got mad and made a video on fb, the transcript of which you are now reading.

These people need to wake up very quickly.

If we don’t stop this, your kids will have access to decide for themselves what and who they want to be. Indoctrination is very powerful.

If you take trans people who read them fairy tales or show off in front of them, telling them how great it is to be something other than who they are, kids will pick up on that. Because they’re kids. They like the colors, they like the comedy, they like it when someone smiles at them and does shit to them, but the consequences are absolutely drastic.

I’m in touch with many groups and other “rainbow” organizations in the US, the UK, or even Australia and Canada (Canada is the absolute worst) that are against child abuse because it’s already child abuse.

This is legalized child abuse, and they are standing up against it and fighting against it.

It needs to be stopped from the start.

That’s why it’s imperative that this progression not be given a chance in our country.

It is at its peak in the west, it will break and it is breaking.

If we keep this up, I’m telling you, we’re going to save a lot of kids’ lives.

We live in a time when many people are in financial trouble, when many people are losing their assets, when many people are in a bad way. I think people can lose everything material, the tangible, but the last thing they lose is their children. They shouldn’t lose their children, they should fight to the last for that.

Those who don’t understand this or make light of it are aiding and abetting these psychopaths, there is no other way to call them.

Claiming something about human rights is not what these NGO’s are demanding, these are mere demands.

They are not human rights because all human rights are granted to all groups of people in the western world.

Don’t fall for these cheap slogans. Many of you don’t have the balls to dig into the details like I or other people do. Cheap slogans are false, untrue.

We have tried and experienced this for ourselves on Czech TV with Mrs Jílková, where many lies were told, especially at the end of the programme. We will, of course, contradict these lies in time. However, it is not such a priority for us at the moment.

The priority now is for people to find out what the aim of these lobbyists is.

Let me answer the question, why are they doing this?

Why are they targeting children?

The answer is simple:

Look for money behind everything.

In all the states where this LGBT propaganda has been legalized, where this insane progression has been allowed, trans clinics have sprung up many times over to reassign children. There’s a huge business in it. Kids who take puberty blockers, which is nothing more than chemical castration, which is used on severe sex offenders who, for example, leave correctional facilities and have long term side effects, it’s a huge business for the farmalobes.

What we said in Jilek, that we’re going to be basically selling children, that it’s legalizing the business of children, so yes, that’s another huge business.

Look for the money behind everything.

Let everybody make money however they want, but don’t bring children into it. It’s terrible.

There’s a lot of posts on Twitter, I didn’t even have to look much. That’s why we need to show people where this is going.

It’s a monstrosity and it needs to be stopped.
