“The Public Education Department announced this week that students on track to graduate in 2024 won’t have to pass tests that have gauged whether they’re eligible to move on from high school.”

Dr Jordan B Peterson sits down with 18 years old de-transitioner Chloe Cole. Chloe was indoctrinated, affirmed, and set on an irreparable path at the age of 15, and now finds herself abandoned by the community and the doctors that lead her over the edge.

Chloe Cole is an 18 year old de-transitioner from The Central Valley of California. She started her transition at 12 years old, puberty blockers and testosterone at 13 and a double mastectomy at 15 years old. She is now a strong advocate against gender ideology.

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Temple Grandin discuss the pros and cons of visual and verbal thinking, as well as categorization, animal welfare, targeted activism, and the importance of hands-on learning opportunities.

Temple Grandin is a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed for handling livestock are used by companies all around the world. Her work has also been instrumental in implementing animal welfare auditing programs, now used by McDonalds, Wendy’s, Whole Foods, and many other major corporations. Temple has appeared on numerous shows across platforms, such as 20/20, Larry King Live, and Prime Time. Grandin is an accomplished author, with books such as Thinking in Pictures, Livestock Handling and Transport, and The Autistic Brain. A few of her other publications, Animals in Translation, as well as Visual Thinking, have even made it to the New York Times Bestseller List. In 2017, Grandin was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, and in 2022 she was honored once again as a Colorado State Distinguished Professor.

TRANS INDOCTRINATION OF NM TEACHERS 🧐😡😳: This is UNDERCOVER VIDEO recorded during a teacher training class in Albuquerque, New Mexico. $50 was paid to each teacher who attended this class. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5JJeykIc8M

The class was ostensibly aimed at helping teachers learn how to support trans students in the classroom. However, the class included many UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS claims and IDEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK including the following:

--- The sexual organs a person is born with are irrelevant to the person's gender, and that gender is essentially just a cultural construct.
--- A boy who chooses to play with dolls is not actually a boy but is non-binary instead. A girl who wants to play football is not actually a girl but is non-binary instead.
--- Addressing a trans student by the name and pronouns they were assigned at birth is extremely disrespectful, and teachers were advised on how to model the language and behavior.
--- Gender dysphoria is normal and society is to blame for the mental health problems and suicides of trans students.
--- Using puberty blockers just pauses puberty while the child decides which puberty to go through.

An important reference for the health effects of gender transition is here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6616494/

That study describes that gender-transitioning puberty blockers, hormones, and/or surgeries will induce permanent, irreversible changes on the developing body and have many known long-term adverse health risks including venous thromboembolism, fractures, cardiovascular disease, stroke, osteoporosis, and hormone-dependent cancers.

My concern when I have behavior issues is the student(s) in question but also the numerous classmates whose educations are being interrupted. I’m thankful that my school has a fairly good system for removing disruptive students from the classroom, whether for a ten-minute regrouping or long-term.

We do this in my district, too. Students do not have to pass classes until 9th grade.

To say children are physically unsafe at school is not an exaggeration. At my school in Albuquerque, students are regularly being assaulted by other children. Sometimes it’s a fight between two children of the same size, but sometimes it’s a bigger child against a smaller one.

It’s generally a very long process to move a dangerous child out of mainstream classes, even if that child is a physical threat to other children.

Additionally, a child with documented disabilities often cannot be punished the same as mainstream children, even for being physically dangerous toward peers and/or adults.

We had a training at my school about Narcan. The nurse told us that all of the high schools are stocking it and now it’s moving into the middle and elementary schools too.

I received an email today that one of my 6th grade students is moving from my general education math class to a special education math class, and I’m thrilled - not to lose him, but because he’s finally going to get what he needs.

I was in touch with his mother last fall about his failing grade in my class, and she expressed that he just really struggles in math. By that point in the year, I was also well aware of this. I probably can’t officially advise a parent to request that their child get tested, but I gently informed her that this was her right as a parent. She reacted ecstatically and asked that I get the process started right away.

He’s in 6th grade, so this is presumably at least his seventh year of school, and yet he was not tested until now despite his showing obvious struggles in mathematical understanding, including scoring about four years below grade level on our placement tests. The report from his evaluation showed that he has been diagnosed with a learning disability in math-related areas.

The law requires students to be in the “least restrictive environment” at school, meaning we are to err on the side of general education class placements. While I understand taking caution in placing students in segregated classes unnecessarily, I also believe that we should do what’s best for the student, and a child should not have to flounder in math for half a decade before being diagnosed with a learning disability. I’m very happy that he is finally going to be placed appropriately.
