A California high school “Antifa teacher” was placed on paid leave “for his actions in the classroom” after a fraught school board meeting. He admitted to working on turning kids “into revolutionaries” in a Project Veritas video.
Gabriel Gipe will be removed from his post as an AP government teacher at Inderkum High School, the school board announced on Wednesday. He was placed on paid leave that morning after allegedly violating the Natomas Unified School District’s school policies regarding displaying political material and advocating for political outcomes. After a hidden-camera video emerged in which he boasted about turning Sacramento’s children into mini-me revolutionaries, nearly half a million angry parents and viewers – either online or in person – turned out to air their grievances.
Gipe has earlier bragged about indoctrinating kids into the ways of Antifa in a clip released by muckraking conservative journalism outlet Project Veritas. In the ensuing uproar, the school revealed it would be “taking the legally required next steps to place the teacher on unpaid leave and fire the teacher.” The subsequent Wednesday board meeting, which was livestreamed online, was swarmed with angry parents, who clearly wanted more than the removal of one bad teacher.
One parent complained that “without warning, [her] daughter’s Constitutional law class was changed to a Social Justice class,” while others likened the lack of accountability to school board scuffles over mask wearing and sex ed.
“Parents are already freaked out over inappropriate sex ed and critical race theory, and now they find out that their kids are being indoctrinated and recruited by a teacher,” Marilyn Jackson, president of Christian group Pray4SafeSchools, lamented.
One student’s father even denounced the offending teachers as “evil,” declaring “there is no excuse for communism on American soil” and calling for a criminal probe. “I look at [the schoolchildren’s] faces and they are pure innocence, pure love!” he shouted, raging that “these evil people are putting stuff into them! This has got to stop.”
If you cannot protect your child, there is no hope of being alive. There is no need to even have the United States.
During the Project Veritas video, Gipe snarked that he “has 180 days to turn [the children] into revolutionaries,” a claim he has reportedly delivered to at least one class of students themselves. Asked by the Project Veritas reporter how he was so certain he could indoctrinate his charges in a single school year, he responded, “I scare the f*** out of them.”
Gipe “wanted to make back to school uncomfortable,” hence a decision to paper his classroom wall and ceilings with Antifa flags and Mao portraits and give extra credit for attending protests. He also reportedly bought a series of rubber stamps featuring the faces of famous dictators alongside catch phrases to be used on grading assignments, and acknowledged that to really accomplish his goals, “you need to retrain the way people think.”
That's communist ideology!
Gipe insisted he isn’t the only individual “recruiting” schoolkids for Antifa, though his ideological fellow-travelers on social media were quick to disavow his actions. “There’s a way to present revolutionary thought to students but that is absolutely not it,” one Twitter user bemoaned. Per his lawyer’s advice, Gipe told fellow Antifa to steer clear of the board meeting. However, a mother at the school agreed that Gipe was not alone in his conversion quest, explaining that there was “subtle indoctrination” going on in other classes too.
“All the stuff we’ve been saying, they’ve admitted to,” dumbfounded Periscope user OreoExpress marveled while waiting in a long line to get into the meeting. Comedian Rob Schneider joked that he “never in [his] life thought [he] would watch an entire school board meeting,” but that this one was “absolutely riveting.”
And he wasn’t the only one to think so, with close to half a million people tuning in on Periscope alone to watch the drama unfold. Indeed, the drama got so hot that school board members took a recess, returned, took another recess, and ultimately sneaked out the back door before anyone realized what they were doing.
Hopefully, this will be the beginning of sensible people taking back school curriculum from the far-left.
‘Shame on you Sturgeon’: Women take their fight with Scottish leader
online over SNP’s gender self-identification plans
9 Sep, 2021 14:53
Women in Scotland have taken their battle with the SNP and leader Nicola Sturgeon online after the nationalist party said that plans to reform gender laws in favour of self-identification were back on the table.
The Scottish government is once again coming under fire for its controversial positioning on gender identity. On Thursday, hundreds took to Twitter to voice their opposition to recent developments, including First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's announcement on Tuesday that reforms to gender identity law were back on the agenda, having been suspended during the pandemic.
She said the Gender Recognition Reform bill "will make the existing process of gender recognition less degrading, intrusive and traumatic. In other words, it will make life easier for one of the most stigmatised minorities in our society."
The SNP leader also caused a stir as she heckled Murdo Fraser, the deputy leader of the Scottish conservatives, after he spoke about women protesters' opposition to the bill in the same sitting. "Shame on you!", she shouted across the Holyrood chamber.
Sturgeon's position on transgender rights and self-identification have not been well-received by many women in Scotland, with Tuesday's announcement that the government will be bringing forward gender-recognition reforms in the coming months further inflaming the situation.
Others concurred, using the trending hashtag #ShameOnYouSturgeon; one asserted that "Female no longer means female only when any man can declare his inner feelings make him female." She added that men in women's prisons aren't men, "they're predatory men" and that men in women's sports aren't female athletes, "they're cheats."
Another shared an image, referencing the Telegraph, which claimed that one in 50 male prisoners identify as transgender versus one in 4,500 in the wider population. "So either self-ID is a disaster or transwomen are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime," the text reads.
One person, addressing their tweet to the first minister, asked why "forcing women to share their safe spaces with males is your number one priority" when the country is struggling with Covid and Brexit, as well as a disgraceful record on drugs deaths and a dire education system.
Others wondered how she had managed to lose the high ground on women's rights to a male Tory MSP.
While there was little support for the Scottish leader on the matter, one pro-independence group said that people were forgetting that Sturgeon is a woman herself. "Not everyone agrees with your bigoted views. Trans Rights are Human Rights," they added.
Scotland has been at the centre of debates around transgender self-identification and trans-rights in recent months. Debate was reignited in August when Scottish feminist campaigner Marion Millar went on trial at a Glasgow court, charged with hate crimes after several historic tweets were deemed transphobic and homophobic. Millar claims she is standing up for hard-won women's rights amid increasing assertiveness of transgender groups. Hundreds gathered outside the court to support her fight and demand the case be dropped.
Earlier in August, Holyrood decided that children as young as four could change their gender and name at school without the consent of their parents. The move was reinforced weeks later when the Scottish bureau responsible for the country's 2022 census announced that people could self-identify when they list their sex on the upcoming survey.
LGBTQ activists protest against homophobic violence in Madrid
despite victim of alleged attack withdrawing his testimony
9 Sep, 2021 08:24
Scores of people gathered in central Madrid on Wednesday to decry violence against the LGBTQ community in Spain. The rally was organized in response to reports of a homophobic attack, which later turned out to be false.
The protesters at the iconic Puerta del Sol square carried rainbow flags and signs with the word “justice” on them. One of the larger banners read: “Homophobia and fascism is the same thing.” According to local media, up to 2,000 people took part in the protest, at which demonstrators chanted slogans and behaved peacefully.
Tensions spiked only briefly when Bertrand Ndongo of the right-wing Vox party appeared in the square together with several counter-protesters. There was a short shoving match before Ndongo was escorted away by the police.
At the weekend, news headlines in Spain were dominated by the story of a brazen homophobic attack on a young man that allegedly happened in broad daylight in Madrid’s posh Malasana neighborhood.
The 20-year-old victim, whose name was not disclosed, told police that eight masked men had followed him into the building where he lived and threatened him with a knife. The assailants hurled insults, including “sh**eater” and “disgusting,” at him, while also carving a homophobic slur on his backside with a weapon, the man insisted.
Police said that it was the first attack of this kind they’d ever encountered, while LGBTQ rights activists described it “shocking” and “terrible.” The news prompted the Spanish prime minister to call an urgent meeting of the anti-hate crimes commission. The PM also took to Twitter, insisting that there was “no place for hatred in our society” and promising to keep working hard to turn Spain into a country where “no one is afraid to be who they are, where we all live free and safely.”
But the police officers who investigated the incident and looked through CCTV footage from the alleged crime scene started questioning the man’s testimony. On Wednesday, he withdrew his claim, saying that the injuries he received were “consensual” and inflicted during a sexual act with another person. The man may now himself face legal action for lying to the police.
However, the organizers of the protest in Madrid decided not to cancel the event, saying that one false attack couldn’t negate the real hate crimes against the LGBTQ community that keep happening in the country.
They referred to the killing of Samuel Luiz, a gay man, who was beaten to death outside a nightclub in the city of A Coruna in July, and fresh allegations of homophobic aggression in various regions of the country.
The activists were backed by Spanish Equality Minister Irene Montero, who tweeted: “Hate crimes against the LGBTI collective rose 43% during the first half of 2021. Let’s not lose sight of the forest because of one tree.”
