Lean To
Asked to call a transgender boy by a male name he has chosen for himself, teachers and administrators around the country have leaned toward a simple response: Sure. Allow a high school student who was born male but identifies as female to join the volleyball team? Fine.

But as transgender students assert themselves more, schools have hesitated at the locker room and the bathroom. Many have developed policies that require transgender students to use private changing and showering facilities, drawing opposition from these students, their parents and advocates who say the rules are discriminatory.

If you were looking for final proof that society has gone completely off the rails, here it is.

The end of days is near.


Strange Days
How strange it must be for people who comfort themselves with the slander that the GOP is a cult of organized racial hatred that the most popular politician among conservatives is a black man. Better to ignore the elephant in the room than account for such an inconvenient fact. (Jonah Goldberg, Bostonherald.com, 11/3/2015) 

And so the Liberal take-down of another black conservative begins. 


Twilight Time
At 91 and in the twilight of a long and storied public life, the first President Bush evidently felt free to express views he had long suppressed in the interest of family harmony. Mr. Cheney, he said, was “very hard-line” and too eager to “use force to get our way”; Mr. Rumsfeld was an “arrogant fellow” full of “swagger.” He used the same phrase, “iron-ass,” to describe both men. (New York Times, 11/6/2015)

After being vilified for years by the New York Times, the first President Bush now is described in glowing terms....a long and storied public life. Reason? He has criticized Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. If Bush One were to embrace transgender bathroom rights, the Times would rewrite the history of his presidency.
