Supporters rallied behind the teacher as conservative influencers sought to make their gender identity a scandal.
“Elementary-aged children are now asking questions about sex, gender identity and pronouns and gender presentation,” said Aaron Driver, whose child attends the school, in comments shared by the Libs of TikTok account. “That creates an educational issue, and therefore a parental rights issue”
Aaron driver is a shitty parent
“parental rights” is usually just code for instilling bigotry or other abuse
There is no such thing as parental rights.
There are only parental responsibilities.
Those who think they have rights over other human beings(including children) are akin to slave owners.
They view children as property. So teaching their “property” things like “rights” and “tolerance” is just like… installing Linux on their PCs. It makes it completely unusable to them, especially because they don’t like learning.
I always like to bring up that the Republican Party of Texas, I think in 2012, made it an explicit part of their platform to oppose teaching critical thinking because it undermines parental authority.
100% agree.
Shitty person, actually.
Both in fact
Conservatives are such a heady mix of stupid and dishonest.
And don’t forget the secret ingredient: malice.
I guarantee you those kids would be asking anyway. Do Americans not have sex ed in elementary school?
Sex Ed varies by state and sometimes by school district. In elementary school, it’s frequently limited to “good touch, bad touch”-type lessons.
It’s not uncommon for parents to need to “opt in” for their kids to be included in the lessons at all ages. Basically, they have to approve of letting their kids learn about sexual health.
Doesn’t really happen until middle school here. I had a Health class in 5th grade that was basically like “your body is going to change, please take showers every day, and use this stuff called deodorant.”
Actual sex-ed wasn’t until 7th grade, and even then, it was basically “Boys, here is all the horrible stuff that will happen to your dick if you get an STD. Girls, the urge to have sex will turn you into worthless husks, also, here’s some horrible shit that can happen to your pussy.”
“Also draw and diagram these things.”
Lol the only time I was ever given an A for drawing a dick on a paper. 😂
Considering how these folks tend to end up: has anyone checked Aaron’s PC for any “hidden” folders full of pictures?
I’m sorry but with a name like “Aaron Driver” even her parents are probably stupid.
Sorry Aarons.
Put it plain: it’s OK for kids to ask questions
What a confusing headline. I don’t think most reasonable people would know or assume that ‘Libs of Tiktok’ is a conservative hate group.
Less of a group and more just a cunt named Chaya Raichik.
Yeah I don’t understand why the media doesn’t name her.
Oh wait maybe I do…
Yep. It’s rich given that the article says she “strongly objected” when WaPo publicly identified her as the founder behind the Libs of TikTok account in 2022. Just like all bullies, she can’t bear even a fraction of what she dishes out on the regular.
It’s one of those iykyk things. I detest TikTok and refuse to use it (and short form brainrot video bullshit in general), but I’ve been aware of it as a hard-right channel/user/whatever for a while now.
When’s the last time you ever heard a liberal refer to themselves as a “lib”?
I don’t know any leftists that refer to themselves as liberal at all, so anyone who does accept the label I wouldn’t know what they call themselves.
I’m a liberal and that’s what I call myself.
Gross
There’s nothing gross about being a liberal.
Apart from enabling facsism, there is nothing gross about it.
sure there is. bit the best label that I can applied is lesser evil
Strong disagree.
Cool.
Don’t forget to vote in the primaries and mid terms this year I know I will be.
I call myself liberal. I don’t call myself a Liberal, capitalized. liberalism is the opposite of conservative. Liberals are modern Democrats.
Tell SaltySalamander!
Do you believe in workers controlling the means of production?
Precisely the point. It’s a literal false flag.
This headline makes no fucking sense. Did you want to clarify at some point here, or just expect everyone to know the inner workings of TikTok?
It’s one crazy bitch that posts awful stuff. Her name is Chaya Raichik.
Her account is called “Libs of TikTok” .
I think every headline dealing with her should mention her name, not her handle.

That bitch is a terrorist
Can confirm. I know someone who lost their career over this bitch.
Elections coming up huh?
Indeed, the MAGA fucknuts are making their push.
I guess stochastic terrorism just isn’t a crime? She’s been doing this targeted harassment for years. Our country is failing partly because the law just isn’t enforced on anyone like this. The fuck is going on?
I guess stochastic terrorism just isn’t a crime?
It’s only terrorism when it comes from the terrorist region of Afghanistan.
When a Zionist does it, it’s Sparkling Free Speech.

Because the law recognises a difference between direct and indirect causes.
If it recognised indirect causes then Lemmy would fucking implode due to the amount of people wishing death to various individuals.
Wishing death isn’t an indirect cause of anything, though inciting others to do harm could be.
I suspect enough people wishing death to members of the same group increases the risk to that group, don’t you?
If they don’t act on it nor incite others to do so, then no. That’s exactly the difference between harassment and stochastic terrorism.
How the fuck hasn’t this bitch not been shot and/or lynched yet. Like unironically if some murderer wanted to get a free kill shed be it since nobody would give a damn.
I need to stop listening to missing enigma and lore lodge while I play games it’s causing me to think about murder more than usual.
JFC. Chaya Raichik is so gross.
In case anyone was confused for a second like me.
Note to confused readers: pictured is former real estate agent Chaya Raichik that looks exactly like a former real estate agent and operates conservative shithole “libs of Tik tok”, sending bomb threats and hate and serving no purpose but evil itself.
She’s so stupid. Watch that interview by Taylor Lorenz if you don’t believe she’s dumb as bricks
She’s a far right propagandist against queer and liberal people despite being an American Jewish woman. I don’t know how much dumber I can be convinced she is unless she regularly forgets how to breathe
What is wrong with this bitch?
Oh my god, she is still around? I haven’t heard about her in a while. Looks like they are trying to drum up more trans hate again. She is just a propaganda pusher.
Can we please just go back to the 90s/2000s FML.
Sure. Here’s what we had in the 90s:
And aids
Spoken like an old white guy
I’m so glad TikTok isn’t owned by those nefarious censorship loving foreigners anymore.
That shit was hilarious. Popular platform owned by China who didn’t censor anything but presumably anti-China topics, but the US couldn’t censor or suppress any of what they wanted, because they didn’t control it, and they were big mad about it. It was fun while it lasted.
Keeping it classy, as usual
