I understand the use of pronouns over the last 5000 years and how it relates to belief and practice of represented religious groups

The teachers aren't telling the kids "don't tell your parents". They're responding to kids asking if they can confidentially confide in them about something they don't feel comfortable discussing with their parents yet.

Ooh, prickly little snowflakes around here!

ah yes dumb (in your estimation) is protected by the NH Const

that's called a straw man.

This new use of existing pronouns as well as the invention of new pronouns is religious. Also note that it is contrary to the belief and practice of represented religions with 1000s of years of history (of those particular behaviors and beliefs).

Lmao thinking religion owns fucking pronouns. Do the banks own adverbs?

Ah, yes the "society" religion.

This is a dumb take.

It's quite disturbing how much these Republi-Fascists are focusing on trans and nonbinary children.

You really got your feelings hurt that someone didn't find you funny. Man up, don't get so offended.

"we" trusted the experts when they told us there were WMDs in Iraq.

"We" trusted the experts when they told us the lab leak theory was simply racists and unplausible.

"We" trusted the experts when they said masks, lockdowns, and sanitizer worked

"We" trusted the experts wheb they told us they were not collecting data on Americans illegally

Should I go on? The statement "Trust the experts" is absolutely backwards, how about the experts earn out trust. We should be holding experts accountable. More often than not, the "experts" are just corrupt and self promoting, and at the end of the day they are humans and make mistakes, in the best case, and are malicious or corrupt in the worst case.

This is the reason I’m gonna leave the US at the earliest opportunity, I’m done with lawmakers hating people like me so much

the pronoun thing is the ritual of a religion. Not everyone belongs to that religion or chooses to participate. Other natural rights come into play as well. Freedom of speech, thought, religion.

pronouns (mentioned in comment above) etc is part of a religion. Not everyone wants to take part in your rituals.

What does that have to do with telling parents if their kids use different pronouns at school?

My towns state reps are usually in the bathroom or asleep when it comes time to vote for anything meaningful, like safe drinking water. But this they will likely vote for because they are both bigots with nothing else to do.

I'm not really familiar with that. I did one of the tours before the pandemic.

Truth! Thank you!

So no one should be forced to pay for a religious school got it but what's that got to do with anything here?

It’s a joke, son. Lighten up.

> The goal is creating a supportive environment where students can confide in teachers confidently.

Any time an adult persuades someone else's child to keep secrets from their parents, that's a huge red flag for all kinds of abuses that may be taking place.

Also correct. Culture wars are a distraction from actual problems.

maybe it has something to do with this-

NH Constitution, Bill of Rights, [Art.] 6. [Morality and Piety.] As morality and piety, rightly grounded on high principles, will give the best and greatest security to government, and will lay, in the hearts of men, the strongest obligations to due subjection; and as the knowledge of these is most likely to be propagated through a society, therefore, the several parishes, bodies, corporate, or religious societies shall at all times have the right of electing their own teachers, and of contracting with them for their support or maintenance, or both. But no person shall ever be compelled to pay towards the support of the schools of any sect or denomination. And every person, denomination or sect shall be equally under the protection of the law; and no subordination of any one sect, denomination or persuasion to another shall ever be established.

June 2, 1784

Amended 1968 to remove obsolete sectarian references.

I'm not saying this isn't important....but if I'm Blackrock Capital, I'm happy this is distracting you from noticing my pillaging.
