By associating cancel culture with mob behavior, or dictatorial attempts at thought control, critics of cancel culture use lofty ideals like “freedom of speech” to conceal and distract from the promotion of hatred—that historically has resulted in actual mob violence like lynchings. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/refusing-to-forgive-institutional-racism-is-not-cancel-culture | The Daily Beast | white-nationalism | 1 | WCStXvv6mXc2yW9GWJtP5K |
This wasn’t a moment of anger where Keon called someone a racist or sexist name because he’d lost his temper or felt threatened. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/refusing-to-forgive-institutional-racism-is-not-cancel-culture | The Daily Beast | white-nationalism | 1 | bvWnHtULAKLR9a2aTHFDCo |

Keon’s decision to unleash a racist trope at a moment of celebration for students and their families—including Asian students and their families—makes it plain that he is unfit to lead an educational institution, and the milquetoast response of the PNW Board of Trustees makes it plain that they don’t get it. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/refusing-to-forgive-institutional-racism-is-not-cancel-culture | The Daily Beast | white-nationalism | 1 | FnU22CcgCuT5kHxNGaZ23x |

And Keon’s pretend Asian language is the latest incarnation of the racist trope that drew roars of laughter in the classic 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s—where Mickey Rooney (in yellow-face complete with fake buck-teeth) gives a racist performance for the ages. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/refusing-to-forgive-institutional-racism-is-not-cancel-culture | The Daily Beast | white-nationalism | 1 | GLUdnZfuxL5M9Kr2AFvr9R |

A planned rework of Ireland’s Social, Personal, and Health Education (SPHE) curriculum that aimed to teach children that “gender identity” was on a “spectrum” has reportedly been abandoned by the government, a report on Tuesday has claimed. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | t3JpwwesqmddnN4TGJuJwQ |
The editor of conservative news publication Gript Media, John McGuirk, has warned that some teachers may still be able to teach their pupils that gender is a “spectrum” under the coming curriculum rework. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 1 | tc3txbPDJcoWPFKBXXEQxU |
“This new wording, I would worry, does leave it up to teachers a little too much,” McGuirk wrote in an article examining the government U-turn. “ | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | RfZuePpiQniUKasEMsDGb2 |
The plan to teach children that gender resides on a “spectrum” has been abandoned, a report on Sunday has claimed. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | 9RcCPXXvusmV3q6VsqqP3S |
However, while some are celebrating the changes as a victory, others have expressed doubt as to how meaningful the changes really are. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | cnLnPLQjAzV48NFsurzJ6c |
This could partly be down to the implosion of the UK’s Gender Identity Development Service at Tavistock, with the government announcing last year that it would be shuttering the clinic after a report deemed it as being unsafe for the children it was treating. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 1 | m6X6ELesb69C3RxXMyZZrk |
The original “learning outcome” for this course was to help children “appreciate that sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression are core parts of human identity and that each is experienced along a spectrum”. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | MkETEZiwZpRQ4cnq962i5J |
It comes at a time when transgenderism both in Ireland and Europe has encountered increasing resistance from parents, politicians and society as a whole, with recent revelations surrounding Britain’s infamous Tavistock child gender identity clinic seemingly prompting a backlash against the ideology. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 1 | YTxBYX65NNefzfwSj9PGpR |
The UK government has also been forced to backtrack on allowing male inmates who identify as “transwomen” to be housed in female prisons, with the country implementing a near-complete ban on the practice for violent offenders from Monday. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 1 | oYFpzV86FxYCknCSTuyM5a |
Nevertheless, the revelations that the Irish school system will not adopt the mandatory teaching of the “gender spectrum” does seem to mark somewhat of a shift in the social acceptance of transgenderism, with the level of scrutiny the ideology is facing across Europe appearing to be on the increase. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | JYpGTe8Xdqbvf6sHUa72G3 |
According to a report by the Sunday Times, the initial re-work of the SPHE syllabus was aimed to include a number of claims about an individual’s “so-called” gender identity, including that such an identity is not binary. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 1 | 5KQN2FP9e8dSwanMDU9RMo |
A number of parents who were greatly concerned by the proposed changes appear to be celebrating the government reversal, with one mother telling The Times that she is pleased that the idea of gender being a spectrum will not be taught. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | JPpdgwMt4aFdqNpgg9U3dD |
Sarah Holmes, a parent from County Wicklow, said that there was a danger that the curriculum as proposed could have caused “widespread confusion” for children and that the gender ideology adopted by the government has been “taken on in schools without any debate and without parental knowledge”. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | d4CRDkF6uPKa6Y5VL9SGhK |
There certainly does not seem to be an active prohibition on teachers telling students that their gender is a choice – all that is happening is that teaching this will no longer be a requirement of the curriculum.” | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | N4sxxmvxDa4PMJVSmALHvC |
Instead, pupils in Ireland are to be taught that there are a number of “factors and influences” that shape an individual’s identity, including “family, peers, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, race/ethnic background, disabilities, religious beliefs/world view”. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | KieoDFuzZY2ziJURnyncCF |
Such a suggestion, however, is said to have received significant backlash from parents, and therefore Ireland’s National Council for Curriculum and Assessment has now reportedly decided to drop the changes. | https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/02/28/irish-government-abandons-plan-to-teach-children-gender-is-a-spectrum/ | Breitbart | gender | 0 | 2dC6NfsCseCrc2SB3mmTC2 |
The only logically consistent conclusion is that these activists view the self-serving wants of surrogate parents as a more compelling interest than a child’s very life. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | iFrEoBLC8Lyf6sHe5RLi6B |

The delusional leftists arguing that adoption is more “traumatic” than abortion aren’t making a convincing argument for their brutal baby death cult, but they are making a great point against the rise of surrogacy as a means for clients such as gay and “transgender” males to achieve their personal parenting fantasies. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | fne6WmwtHdGtL5eR5oHiZi |

Some women also seek surrogates as a solution to infertility or to avoid the physical inconvenience of pregnancy, but its ascent as a cause célèbre for the LGBT lobby solidified its place as a pet issue on the left.) | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | KBqR22A7y5aBoG3fFSQBqE |
Fertility equality activists are asking, at a minimum, for insurance companies to cover reproductive procedures like sperm retrieval, egg donation and embryo creation for all prospective parents, including gay couples who use surrogates,” the Times said. “ | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 0 | iWLtgtL5uVpQzNWV8bBdxB |

“While pregnant, [mothers] will undergo the bonding with a child that happens by biological design as an embryo develops into a living, breathing, conscious human,” Spiers wrote. “ | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 0 | mayUPHD8qYYsSdfAf6UmSq |

But every point that Spiers made about separating a child from his mother applies to surrogacy too; except in this case, instead of being a preferable alternative to the child’s death, would-be parents choose to sponsor a pregnancy with the end goal of ripping the baby from his mother, all so they can exercise their personal “right” to raise a child. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | qgMhNvmeCRipuu6B4wVGuJ |

Just look at some of the arguments that Elizabeth Spiers, who was adopted as an infant, advanced in a 2021 New York Times essay about “the trauma [adoption] can inflict” and why abortion is a better solution all around.

Setting aside the ignorant, medically disproven assumption that an unborn child is just a “lump of cells,” and the reality-challenged claim that killing her child should be less traumatic for a mother than putting him up for adoption, Spiers makes an accurate observation that handing your newborn baby over to a stranger is no light thing. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | 46GXbPKb5BcnmSPCtwvpQJ |
Meanwhile, that trauma is just as present for babies who are conceived for the express purpose of being taken from their mothers and handed to strangers. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | 8FDsAbF7XWNPcxYaAjqXrd |

Again, while the challenges of adoption for children are real, those imperfections don’t justify the alternative of killing them. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | KwJ7j8N2DmUGFQLr7V4CNX |
If leftists really thought adoption was so traumatic for children that its imperfections justified killing them in utero instead, they wouldn’t be so giddy at the idea of surrogacy. | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 1 | kDutrH9PYvB9w8crAhcag6 |

Spiers continues: “Adoption is often just as traumatic as the right thinks abortion is, if not more so, as a woman has to relinquish not a lump of cells but a fully formed baby she has lived with for nine months.” | https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/03/leftist-logic-adoption-is-more-traumatic-than-abortion-but-surrogacy-is-just-great/ | The Federalist | abortion | 0 | j2uJ2BxLqYh3cAnMN3Bs8j |

While it’s an easy rebuttal to point out that the real challenges of separating a child from her mother in the adoption process are preferable to taking the child’s life, those challenges do present compelling problems with the growing practice of elective surrogacy, which is often touted as a means for men who are not married to women to obtain babies.
