Make America Florida: Inside the state ‘where woke goes to die' | Times Documentaries

- Republicans hold a supermajority in the Florida legislature and have passed several laws targeting what is described as the “woke left” by Ron DeSantis, the state’s governor who is challenging Donald Trump for his party’s presidential nomination.
In this documentary we travelled across the state to discover the impact of four of those policies: restricting abortions to the first six weeks of pregnancy, prohibiting discussion of sexuality in schools and requiring them to vet their book collections, and banning “gender clinical interventions” for under-18s.
Along the way we saw a seven-year-old “abortion abolitionist” tell passers-by they would burn in hell, met transgender teenagers who say they are “denied their humanity” and discovered the heart of America’s culture war.

The first pro-lifer - "The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as ourself"
His kid - "God's gonna break your teeth out of your mouth"
Quite honestly!
Someone just needs to kick over that ladder...grass is probably underneath him.... he'll be okay
😅
Religious hypocrisy is top-notch.
Dad about that kid: he's preaching the gospel
Imagine having nothing better to do with your life than protesting outside an abortion clinic.
@@rafaeldejesus8199 you know they're there counter protesting right? Those right wingers are there to guilt, shame and scare women who want abortions. So the counter protesters are there to keep them in check.
Lot of morons with too much time on their hands
@@rafaeldejesus8199the no uterus no opinion person is based
@jimreuss Also imagine if they showed that much concern for the born as they do the unborn!
Their time would be better spent volunteering at an after school program or taking in some foster kids who desperately need a home.
Something doesn't sit right with me when people use their children to espouse their political beliefs. Children should be free to be children, not tell people they gonna burn in hell, my stomach is turning.
Mom's for Liberty is a Republican PAC and only fiften percent of their members are parents with kids still in the school system. No kids ever came home from school and told their parents they were being taught it was bad to be white.
This!! They're the same people who have a problem with kids being 'indoctrinated' by trans or gay people but do the same themselves in their own beliefs?! Such hypocrisy
Children have been dragged to BLM protest/riots, and perv pride events, too.
same people would be spewing filth at kids attending pride events.
People are going to teach their kids their values, whether they're moral values or pop psychology "free love/ I hAvE 2 mOmmIES" values. Taking your kids to protest against degeneracy and taking your kids to participate in degeneracy are two different things.
Nothing sends you into the loving arms of Christ like a little boy yelling "God's gonna break your teeth outta your mouth"
I showed my Christian mother that, and she was horrified. She felt it's no wonder Christianity is waning.
She knows what I experienced in my Appalachian high school when people found out I had a girlfriend. I have PTSD to this very day, and I'm 38 yrs old. Thankfully, this has opened her eyes in many ways.
@@josiewalker7012 So many people feel the way your mother does, including myself. If it were up to "Christians", nobody would believe in Jesus Christ because they would be completely confused about who he actually was. If it ain't compelling you to look at others with compassion and without judgement, it ain't Christ. Period.
Selective editing. Only the most radical statement from the most radical group gets aired . What did the pro abortionists say to that kid before he responded that? Always ask yourself what happened to provoke the "crazy person" on the nightly news.
Hey, he could be right. God did worse to S0d0m..
Mark my words: This kid is a future atheist in training.
So it's ok to groom a child from the age of 3 to preach such blasphemy about knocking the teeth out of your mouth and burning in hell.. but it's not ok for a child to learn that there are other forms of love other than male and female?
Radical evangelical Christians groom their children to hate everyone who does not agree with their Taliban-like restrictions against freedom. Their children need to be placed in protective foster homes where they can learn morality undistorted by religious bigotry.
I didn’t know that forms of love were sexed. What is an example of a male form of love? What is an example of a form of love that is neither male nor female?
Hi, Christianity isn't factual or universal. Bye.
@@rafaeldejesus8199how do you feel about circumcision? Also, other than in circumcision, no children are having “organs chopped off.” You’ve made up things to be mad about.
@@MayaMaya-tj7kwor beneficial to society
that child yelling that people "will go to hell" is absolutely monstrous. I pray that child will be okay, I couldn't imagine the toll that indoctrination will take on their psyche
We will see a story about him in 15 20 years from now, if that.
How absolutely disgusting to brainwash a child and then (at the father’s own admission) use him as a prop.
I dont see those "abolitionists" protesting outside prisons about the death penalty. Hypocrites
The majority of them are pro-death penalty
Ironically, they also don’t protest at IVF clinics, where hundreds of thousands of “unique, Divinely created, human souls” (aka embryos) are created, stored & DESTROYED.
No they believe it's ok to kill those people....sad!
Christians. They call themselves Christians. It's OK to say the elephants name: Christians.
Their interest is only there when it’s a fetus after - they don’t want to do anything to help or have no interest in helping anyone.
They should build a wall around Florida and make them pay for it.
The wall needs to be built from coast to coast, just below Ocala.
😂😂😂
At 29:30 that politician trying to defend his positions says, "there's a reason why crime is treated differently when you're 16 than when you're 26." Which is ironic since Florida is #1 in the US for trying juveniles as adults.
not to mention FL’s legacy of absolutely brutal, corrupt, juvenile detention camps where some kids died & were murdered
He's not dictator of the state, so the actions or opinions of others within Florida's borders don't make him a hypocrite. You don't think people can be responsible for the actions of their own genitals but you want to hold HIM accountable for the actions of other politicians who happen to live in his state?
The fact that they say keep the baby but nope pull yourself up from the bootstraps when you need help is by far the most bonkers thing about pro life protesters
George Carlin was right.
Many of the clinics and charities owned by pro lifers, actually. One of my friends decided to keep her child and received more from them than the trifling father and Medicare.
Why not give it up for adoption? Plenty of couples can't have kids and would love to be able to take care of these unwanted babies. Maybe it isn't the baby that they don't want but the nine month pregnancy and birthing process?
I don't have a problem with tax $ helping the poor. I have a problem with money being siphoned off by a corrupt homeless-industrial complex that treats the poor like cattle.
do you know how many kids are in care because nobody has adopted them or even worse the kids who from home to home because they were raised by people who knew they shouldnt have had kids but did anyway.... then what? theyre just supposed to grow up and have a shitty life? theres billions of people on this earth alrready and its just growing and growing, if the millions of people who get abortions every year didnt abort could you just imagine how many kids would be in broken homes, or sitting in their group home their whole childhood because nobody adopted them?its already the hardest choice a woman has to make, but if someone is not ready or prepared for a baby they shouldnt be forced to grow one inside of them because someone else thinks its wrong. it doesnt matter if its wrong or right it matters that it shouldnt be controlled by anyone else. @@sharidivinity2500
Demand these prolife politicians pass stronger child support laws and watch how fast they back off
They can't be shamed because they have no morals.
And what ever happened to the idea of privacy in these matters?
Texas and Oklahoma are drafting a bill for prenatal child support, actually.
@@lavinder11Yet, you can have all the child support you want and still force preteen children to give birth, abusive people to give birth, and addicted meth addicts who also have schizophrenia to give birth (like my niece) as that would be a lovely childhood. Other than that, you could put them up for adoption, or the meat market, that brings back the Victorian orphanage. The 19th century was such a godly time wasn’t it? If you only knew what happens in the adoption and foster care system.
Most of them prob does abortion for their mistress.
The fact that guy said we love our neighbors and want to save them from being murdered…what about all of the actual children being murdered in schools..or people being shot in the streets.. these people are disgusting
i know right.. and imagine the people who are not ready to have children, but have no choice because they found out about a pregnancy at 7 weeks... like lets say im some crazy woman on drugs or something but i cant abort... you know how many kids would end up being in horrible homes, or foster care, or sold into sex trafficking
It is just so strange to me (I'm German) that people in the US still obsess and fight about issues that have been resolved in all the other industrialized Western countries long ago. Is it because Americans have a tendency to go to extremes rather than agreeing to a middle ground? Or the lack of parties (only 2 for such a large nation is ridiculous)? This mutual hatred of two sides - each getting more and more extreme - is just odd considering you call yourself the land of the free and the shining beacon of democracy. Something went very wrong along the way. And I am by no means suggesting that European countries are perfect, definitely not the case. But your drama is next level.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢!
I think in the U.S. we tend to go to extremes and both the left and the right have been getting really extreme. The far left thinks its okay for a 7 year olds to learn about gender ideology in school and the far right (at least in Florida) thinks it's okay for kids to learn that slavery was beneficial...both sides have gone completely insane.
go and shove it
You're totally on point. Add to this we have allowed corporations and money to have the biggest say in policy. We need a reform in voting and in campaign finance.
"Issues that have been resolved all other industrialized western countries long ago" - this sentence is vague, and my guess is that's the point. You were trying to make a statement that would be outright wrong if you were to go into specifics unfalsifiable? There are no "issues" that other western countries "resolved long ago" that weren't "resolved" first in the US. The US is the trendsetter, you people follow. You are desperately looking for a reason to feel superior to Americans, and to the US.
They want to abolish abortion but they don't want to help the mother and child once the child is born
Bcs pro-life is a front for control and bugotry
@@NA-kr5uq Ever heard about responsibility?
@@nickylippold919 I have, but what Republicans want isn't for pregnant women to be responsible for their pregnancy. You can't make someone be responsible by making it a criminal act if a pregnant woman tries to opt out of the pregnancy they're in, or prevent them altogether from opting out.
Thus, controlling them
Who is "they"? I have no problem with tax dollars helping the poor.
@@nickylippold919Choosing not to become a parent before you're capable of properly supporting a child is responsibility. It's just not the option you like/prefer.
Now tell me you want to control who can have sex...go on, walk right into that hole, freedom lover!
Denying sex education for children just makes it easier for predators to exploit their innocence. Considering so many predators are INSIDE their churches…seems intentional to me. I think they think sex education teaches kids HOW to have sex or something…
it’s also a public health risk. health and safety, obviously. giving kids the knowledge and verbiage to vocalize potential abuse is so important. but also for teenagers who are thinking about engaging in sex- whether you as a parent WANT to acknowledge or permit the behavior- knowing how sexual activity anatomically WORKS , how STIs are transmitted, how pregnancy happens, how fertilization works and how long it takes to find out someone is pregnant are all public health issues. i will never understand why people would rather let their children walk naively through this world with no understanding of the ways they can be taken advantage of. i think people believe sexual assault and abuse are way less common than they really are. knowledge is power.
Most children are sexually abused by family members and friends close to the family.
Being taught how to perform perverted sex acts is gr00ming, not abuse prevention. I agree that members of the perv community should be banned from religious ministry.
@@3namechangezalowdevry90day7We just called it "sex" when we learned about it in school back in my day.
No need to redefine established terms to suit your politics, we know you're just projecting here.
@@nickg.3741 Back then the terms were sodomy and pederasty. And five year olds weren't being taught to accept it as normal. "It's all just sex" is a recent ideology. Technically, the term sex applies to reproduction, not whatever degeneracy you want to promote in the name of "open mindedness".
You know those news stories where a guy has kidnapped a woman and has her held captive it a basement dungeon? The kid on the ladder preaching at the abortion clinic is where it all starts.
Agreed @KyleShade, that kid is downright scary!
They have a right to teach their kids right from wrong. USA's constitution guarantees free speech and freedom of religion.
@@3namechangezalowdevry90day7 yes that's why they burn books and make everyone only read the bible ..makes sense
perfect example of child grooming at 5:01
I was indoctrinated into Christianity, but it didn't take. I always had questions, as it makes such little sense and it got me in trouble a lot. As an adult, I find religious indoctrination of children to be appalling and as a Floridian, I find the great government's stance to be deeply hypocritical. They want Bibles and prayer in school, but telling kids that gay people exist is indoctrination?? They don't like the fact that they have to compete with more rational and attractive worldviews cause at the end of the day, religion has very little to offer adherents other than fear and hate.
Same. I was deeply indoctrinated and thank Goddess I have escaped that
The majority of pro lifers are actually doctors, not Christian
Mama tried. If you're grown, it's your soul to burn, but at least leave the kids alone.
@@3namechangezalowdevry90day7tell that to the Church
You were indoctrinated with religion, not by what a Christian is.
Ask me any questions and be sincere... I will give you the real answers.
5:30 I feel so sorry for the child. No child is born with hate in their hearts.
6:05 "God's law is no murder.. it's not the life of the mother" - does he not realise how hypocritical that is? These abortion laws are killing women.. ie. MURDER.
He probably does not even properly comprehend what he is saying, just regurgitating the talking points espoused by his elders.
And that kid's dad after the kid issues death threats: he's preaching the gospel
Women aren't full people to these clowns. They think that a woman's place is in the home cooking, cleaning, and raising kids. Not living their own lives in whatever way that they want to.
Murder is a very specific term. So no, it's not murder to set up laws that ban abortion.
There are people who knows deep in their bones they shouldn't have a child. We shouldn't be forced to bring that child into this world where we know we will not be able to give it the love and care it deserves. Not to have a child is the most difficult decision in anyones life because it goes against their every instinct. Everyone who make that decision must have gone through so much pain already. Those abortion clinic escorters have my applause and admiration. Thank you for supporting women who had to make the hardest decision of her life.
I never had an abortion. I decided to remain childless for the rest of my life a few years ago. There's no reversing that decision.
Also, i know the guy is used to peddling lies and contradiction information but thats his best work yet. Wow
The hardest decision any woman can make, about not procreation its called close your legs. Or better yet, there are over 100 methods of birth control. Abortion is not one of them, all those who are protesting the right to kill a defenseless human being. Of which you once were is despicable. What's the difference between taking the life of an adult, compared to a unborn baby?
Pets are more valuable that the life of the unborn. We kill our own, yet import children from othe countries 😢 God is going to rain down his wrath upon this country for it's crimes against humanity. If these weren't humans, why do they use their organs, tissues for life saving treatment?
Damn wow so sad you did that 😢 I can’t imagine not having kids
@@c.f.okonta8815
Right?
@c.f.okonta8815 I'm the carrier of multiple genetic diseases. I live in terror of 1 of them activating. I also wanted to break the cycle of abuse in my family. I'm not subjecting all that onto an innocent child. My only children will be the fur kind.
Not every women is made for children. This idea that all women should have children is ancient and outdated!! The sad truth is that is the christians driving this home. When will people see the damage religious beliefs like this can do!
This disgusts me. Mostly men talking about how they don't want abortion legal yet non of them have a uterus! Men should not be allowed to make laws for women's bodies!!!!
An abortion IS NOT CHILD SACRIFICE! Jfc...this is literally Holy Hell.
Insanity!
As a german, who was raised with the horrors and atrocities of the nazi regime, the pure amount of hate and determince of the people in florida to opress minorities and strip them of their freedom sends shivers down my spine
Yeah exactly. People will often call you alarmist for this kind of comparison, but it's not like nazis started murdering jews (and other minorities) suddenly from day one, they started propagandizing about the dangers of 'greedy Jews', demonizing and connecting them to issues people faced, barring them from certain functions, puting yellow stars on them, etc etc. slowly closing the cage around them.
I don't think Florida will get as far, but without interference from the federal state they might.
Florida is literally the most diverse state in the United States. Mostly Cubans, Hatians and lots of Latin American / Russian imigration that have already fleed leftism / liberism / communisim once in their life and dont want to see it again.
@FinalWebDesign 100% . It's unfortunate that the left wing propaganda has created so much fear in people simply by playing on their emotions and ignorance. God help those who have been blinded by these lies.
The American NAZI party didn't disappear in the early 40's of the last century... It went underground and turn into the extreme side of the Republican Party... America was founded on hate, prejudice, religion manipulation and fearmongering...! The result was an Apartheid society and a backwards,selfish and abusive/intrusive small minded society...

No, you need to remove morality from political ideological movements. These movements are the new religion, and they are moralistic without ethics.

I think it’s important to note that “don’t say gay” was never limited to third grade and under. The original text of the bill was through third grade “or in a manner age appropriate,” with the state ultimately having the say of what’s appropriate. And since then it’s been expanded through ninth grade. I moved out of Florida this year for the first time in my life.
I thankfully moved shortly after DeSantis took over. He's evil.

The parental law didnt prohibit anti-bullying campaigns.
Fun fact, gender identity includes heterosexual. So if we are banning books that discuss gender identity, then we have to ban any book that mentioned mom and mom, dad and dad, or mom and dad. That's just the law. That pretty much includes all children's books with parents in them.
I seen they banned a song from school cause it had rainbows in it. Rainbows! Poor kids can’t even have 🌈 anymore. Nah keep that bs right in Florida.
Why would they ban God's sign that he wouldn't flood the world again? So anti-Christian!

The subjectivity of Plato's Cave is a form of self imposed imprisonment.
There is one thing that the majority of the people don't get it, liberal democrats included, United States will never be fixed till it's education system is not fixed. Critical Thinking is not present in the American Education system. In Europe every exam you take you pretty much have to write an essay( I finished High school in France before moving to USA 20 years ago), literature, social sciences, history, geography... My last exit exam at high school in Biology I wrote an essay on Immunology( I still remember because I had really studied and barely got a B minus) even in science like in math, physics and chemistry you need to have a few connecting sentences in order to show your understanding of the subject. And this start from the age of 13 to 14........... If you ever do that in most US high schools, I bet 60 to 70% of the students will never graduate. I guarantee that if you give the essay in philosophy to the American students ( 70 to 80% of the students will fail). Multiple choices, fill the blanks well I had never heard of them till I came to start college in United States. 75 millions saw Trump lie, cheat, divide the country, make a fool of himself by asking if we could kill the virus by injecting bleach etc etc, and they decided that they wanted more of it. So in order to have a lot more functional adults you need to fix them when they are young. Our problem is no one even acknowledge this, then who is going to teach the critical thinking, if most teachers haven't been thought to think that way... Sadly, many Americans are so caught up in the mirage of nationalism, imperialism, and conservative theocracy and don't see how those lead to the destruction of democracy and freedom. First it's "anti-abortion," then it's "ban books," then it's "do not trust scientists," then it's don't say "gay," then it's "arrest parents of gender-questioning children," then it's "no interracial marriage," then it's a total ban of freedom. Anyone who votes Republican now is aiding the escalation of fascism even though they think they are voting for God and country. Thousands of others fought and died to protect us from fascism and now we see millions of Americans, even veterans, embracing it.
That is true. The American education system keeps its citizens ignorant. There is no rationale for politicians to reform it, because then, Americans would realise that current policies are detrimental to their wellbeing and vote the politicians out of office.
I live in Florida. All of this freakin sucks. I hope that we can come together next election to get these people out. I have many friends that are teachers and they have noted this year that the schools are in such fear of the state that the policies have been made extra strict. For example - forms go home which need to be signed if a child wants to be called by a different name that would normally be considered a nickname ( Chris instead of Christopher for ex) This is not part of the bill, but it just shows how scared the schools are.
The fact that the conservatives use God, Christianity and the Bible as their defense irritates me to the core. There is absolutely no separation of church and state. And as with anyone who uses the Bible as defense they cherry pick to the nth degree. For ex. according the bible life begins when the baby draws its first breath at birth. The Bible even has several "stories" where god is killing or is telling someone to kill babies. I love the "God doesnt make mistakes" argument - from someone wearing glasses, who likely has had to have medical procedures or use medication. If God wanted you to see, he wouldve given you proper eye sight.
I wonder in the bill that is put forth on genital mutilation if circumcisions count. Shouldnt the parents be seen as abusive for having a genital surgery done on their newborn child that is completely unecessary?
People are moving here from California to New York mostly because its so much cheaper than those areas. Someone from NYC can sell their apt and buy an entire mansion here with plenty of money leftover and reap all the wonderful tax benefits and great weather. People are moving because of the low unemployment rate, again with no state income tax taken away. The cost of living is rising so fast tho and i imagine transplants will start to slow except for the wealthy retirees reaping the benefits.
I wouldnt usually post a UA-cam comment this long but just so the world knows - Not Every Floridian. Many of the laws posted by our politicians go against what even their own constituents want (medical/legal marijuana for example). Polls and votes have been ignored by politicians who say "well, we know whats best." The only way to get out of this mess is to vote them out and for the rest of the country to PLEASE PLEASE not vote for DeSantis should he be on the ticket.
how long have you lived in FL? Also wondering if you're older than 23. FL has been run by a Republican governor since Jeb Bush... so we are talking 20+ years. The issues stem from the revamped Republican party platform. "voting" the entire state Independent or Democrat is highly unlikely. Esp with the influx of transplants
@@jusletursoulglobaby yes im very much older than 23. i have a fantasy that these northerners will bring their blue state values with them .. but thats probably a fantasy. theres also the hope that the younger generation will see a need for change and get out and vote. its really all we can do. we can complain, we can move, we can argue online etc. but we have to vote. i will say too that dem vs rep isnt really the issue. its the extremes that have gone on on both ends. so while we had other republican governors, none have really quite met desantis' level of far right extremism
Circumcision at least aids cleanliness and reduces the transmission of bacteria, so it's not without use. I think it's disingenuous to compare something as simple as circumcision to taking the head off and relocating it , hollowing it out and flipping it inside out to create a girl- looking result. Not a decision a kid too young to consent to marriage (or even to have a beer) should be making.
Also, things like glaucoma, cataracts, etc. are ACTUAL DISEASES. "I'm a dude but I feel girly" is not a medical condion.
To the young people at the end, y’all deserve so much better; sending love and support your way
"There is no excuse for murder - God's law'. meanwhile he's no doubt a standard Floridian stand your ground gun nut who also loves the death penalty. Claims to love his neighbours but no doubt he's all about building the wall, deporting families and separating children, will turn back the refugees at the border. If they were actually genuine and not massive hypocrites, there would be some kind of respect for them. They're just garden variety zealots though.
Florida seems like a scary dystopian hell for those folks not in the “in crowd”
If they force women to have children society has an obligation to step up.
At least the state need to force fathers to do their part and contribute to the child‘s support.
At this point, all I feel about this topic is depression. When I see videos like this I have to stop and ask myself if I can handle it. The protestors who believe that harassing and yelling at people in vulnerable positions is “loving their neighbor” is a good thing just makes me so sad. Seeing people use religion to hate just makes me so sad. The worst part of all of this is that so many people believe they are saving children and helping them be kids and live their lives. They’re killing themselves because these people don’t let them talk about themselves, their parents, their expression. Please help us
The lady showing the banned book… it seems like she just didn’t like the book… that book seems to be for a middle schooler and I’m pretty sure there’s a lesson at the end of the book that a kid who is of the reading level the book is made for, will understand. She mentioned he kid is reading above their reading level so either 1. Your kid can comprehend the message and story or 2. Your child can read words but doesn’t have great comprehension skills so they shouldn’t be reading higher level books.
I wonder how exactly doctors can tell gestational age. Tanner stages have been deemed not proof of someone's age when prosecuting kiddie porn. So how is gestational age determined or is it approximated?
It's usually based on their last menstrual period. For example, at the moment of conception(after ovulation), the fetus is technically "2+ weeks" old. At later stages they can guess via ultrasound
@@Brad14397 If one wants to file a suit that inability to actually tell could be a loophole. Courts have said that Tanner phases can't be used to determine someone's age like in child pornography. I'd love to see a lawyer argue on these grounds because there's only an estimate. The only could say if a heartbeat is detected. The doctors could claim "chilling effect" because we don't technically know how old the fetus is and if we take it down to 6 weeks, isn't that eliminating all abortions?
I would like to add as UA-cam won't let me edit my comment. Going by the last "missed period" isn't scientific. I can say this because I had my period for the first 3 month of both my pregnancies.
@@jenniferr5487that’s why ultrasounds are frequently used. They can measure the embryo’s length and get a pretty good gestational age
@@PeachysMom i know. That's why I said they go on both. But in both cases they can be incorrect. I even was made to due an amniocentesis due to when my blood work was taken based on measurements, they thought something was very wrong with my son genetically. Thabkfully, they were just horrible off on my dates, I was a while 5 weeks further along.
We need to start protesting outside of churches
Or move to another country without freedom of religion...
First of all separation of church and state does not seem to be a thing in Florida. There were multiple occasions in the video where they were using their christian religion to dictate laws on how everyone lives their life's.
Secondly it's absolutely more terrifying what that child is saying in the beginning about "God's gonna break the teeth out of your mouth" after the father says "The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as ourself" and the irony of it reflects very poorly on the father and what he's teaching at home.
Thirdly the lady protestor saying "I'd like you to get out of my face please" while simultaneously getting in women's faces, yelling at them, and shoving her agenda down their throat is absolute madness.
If they don't want to discuss sexuality in schools that's fine but it should go for all sexual orientations. Health education is still important and if parents don't want their child to attend, they can sign a form to skip it.
Rhonda Santis wants to transform Floridistan into 1930s Germany.
Those kids are gonna need some SERIOUS therapy when they are older and probably cut off contact with their parents for the brainwashing.
They don't care about the kid who has to have years of therapy in adulthood 😂
They hope their kid will be the next John Doyle or Kyle Rittenhouse.
We need to stop the indoctrination of kids into lgbtq
I'd rather have parents that make me go to church, and I'm not religious BTW, than parents who encourage me to take puberty blockers or a covid shot
Horrified watching those young kids spewing such hate. Disgusting excuse for parents.
Did she just compare a book featuring adolescent suicidal ideation as a result of excessive bullying due to sexual orientation TO HUSTLER?! I can’t.
You going backwards America
Weird parents make weird kids. It is one of those sayings I have. Violent parents often create violent kids and then violent adults. I wanted to be a pacifist but my peers so often sought to hurt me, and would cheat in sports to make sure I was hurt until I began to fight back. The coach and the boxing ring led me to achieving some peace within myself. I came to know that I could defend myself which gave me some more confidence. I cannot but agree that permanence of procedures before experiences that are natural to having the genes one has are too sad if considered to have been mistakes not much longer at all into a lifetime. Americans are greatest when they are both eclectic and ethical. Reversed it is ethical we must chose as the greater value to operate according to. If you do what is ethical one, or many, end up with no regrets. Fewer nightmares and better dreams go to the ethical.
I grew up in a violent household, and I raise my kids with pacifist views
Banning books hmm wonder what happened last time this happen.
Love the “pro-choice groups say that most women don’t know they’re pregnant at 6 weeks” as if this is a contested claim.
I'm just saying...If the kid is old enough to threaten me and tell me I'm gonna burn in hell, that kid is old enough to get a swift kick to the junk.
No. Grow up. You're threatening a prepubescent child.
27:13 I remember when my 2-3 year old youngest brother would try to eat ''steel wool'' and would trow a loud tantrum every time we denied it. I think some people are blindly stupid enough to buy such a nonsense, what a time to be alive.
I love how they think that doctors are putting trans kids on medication and conducting surgery after like one visit
Ron de Satanus
I can tell most of y’all in the comments didn’t watch the full video and only wanted to watch the first topic mentioned. Go to 22:35 to see where things get interesting. So many of y’all like to use 10sec videos as “evidence” for your theories.
Did that man just proudly proclaim that he believes a lot of things that aren’t true ???
More like Florida the state where racism goes to live and prosper
Removing books is fascist!
That therapist is wrong in so many ways.
Could someone explain why sex-affirming psychotherapy is ineffective?
It is. It just didn't work on you. Mind your own business.
@@anthonythomas1504 I care about the welfare of children, medical ethics, and women's rights. That makes me a good person.
Is the idea to convince boys that they're girls and visa-versa? Is it recruiting for the trans movement? Just wondering....
its not.... lol
If gringos would put half an effort to control their guns, that would save more children's lives than this bs. Any parent would 100% prefer their kid to read a queer book about two mommies and come back ALIVE at the end of the school day.
That child should be doing 7 yr old things not telling others they will burn in hell.
Amateur theatricals..
I am a liberal who favors abortion at least until the first trimester and later in cases of health threats to the mother or an infant who will be disabled after birth.
I am also against the schools teaching sexual matters to small children. This is the right of the parents to decide. They should provide whatever forms of education about sex that they wish until children get older. Just as children adjust to the LIE about Santa Claus, they can acquire knowledge about sex in due time.
Gender identity is sexual?
How is my brother and I’s existence sexual?
@@itsrainingagan3772 Sorry. I don't understand the question.
Who was teaching little kids about sexual matters?
I bet if you took a poll though most people will tell you they found out about sex from their friends or from watching porn or some crap.
Not from their parents.
Other than telling their kids not to do it, must parents don’t talk to their kids about anything that even has to do with sex… ever.
This is WHY schools stepped in, to help kids understand facts. Often things that parents are uncomfortable discussing with their kids at any age.
So then the “parental choice” you speak of is the choice to give kids NO information at all. What good is that to them?
Poor kid for having terrible role models as parents.
They are too old to use the word Woke.
Religious cults have no place ANYWHERE outside their abusive homes.
Fantastic. Go Ron
I wholeheartedly agree that sexual orientation stuff has no place in early education….that should be left to reading, writing, math, etc. basic skills. I should hope that most young children are not thinking about anything other than playing and growing.😊
I think you missed part of the point; we aren’t teaching children about the nuances of human sexuality. We’re just having books with two Dads in them and that is seen as pedophilic behavior. If we’re going to ban sexual orientation outright, then there should be no discussion of any sort of marriage, relationship, etc, which is an insane ask
@@itsrainingagan3772why should relationships in books be inclusive or banned? The books about hetronormative relationships have been there for decades! Now a group of people is saying: accept these new books or just banned the ones that have been in place for a long time. Which is weird to me. Thise new books have not been reviewed by parents and they have a right to chose what theur childeren are exposed to. Just like you have the right to show them what you want. Your rights are not more important than mine. We might not agree on lifestyles but if you want to show your kids lgbt books im fine with it. But I don't want to expose my kids to those books and somehow people can't mind their business and need to force those books on to them.
@@xanderx2523 fine, i won’t expose my children to any books about straight relationships whatsoever
@@itsrainingagan3772 And that's fine! See how that works? Im not forcing straight books down your throat...
@@xanderx2523 But you are forcing your heteronormativism down their throats just by banning lgbt books in schools. Why can't you see that SMH
It's funny when the men want to say what a woman need to do. Let's the women choose what they want.
The amazing irony of the Catholic organization's representative talking about protecting children from inappropriate matters in the classroom
