Superintendents work hand and hand with ODE to create the rules of the game. So if a superintendent wants to teach their kindergarteners about anal sex they just call up Cold Gill and he writes a rule that says its ok. Lately I've been seeing a lot of people place the blame solely on ODE but make no mistake they are working directly with woke districts.
When leftists complain about the supposed misuse of "groomer", they want to conjure times in which homosexual men and women were unfairly assumed to also have a sexual appetite for minors. Never mind that their indignant response has been equally specious, namely to insist that unlike in heterosexuals no such connection between homosexuals and predation exists at all. In the end, either pedophilia and pederasty are discrete Born That Way sexualities, with all the attendant implications, or else they are pernicious subsets of heterosexuality and homosexuality alike.
That's not the point. Not this point, anyway. Sorry, but LGBTQ+ activists and their allies are indeed grooming children--not specifically to be e.g. gay, but to adopt some maudlin, even morbid preoccupation with sex identities and sexuality long before that's psychologically and physically healthy. They want kids to be as if Sex Scouts at some teeming jamboree wherein everyone, including adult "leaders" seeking psychosexual validation and affirmation, displays various official badges, patches and other marks of allegiance. These are modern leftist "educational" priorities.
My pleasure. For the record, my hesitancy before as a writer as opposed to a commenter was out of respect to the credentials of this forum. I don’t live in Metro PDX.
No problem. If you want to write at length, I'll happily run it under your byline...this site was never conceived as Pam's and my property...the more voices the better. Even from people in Outer Slobovia.
This is so ugly and repulsive. You feel regular language or secular terms to be far too inadequate, except for INSANE. But really, demonical, diabolical, satanic work better but then one stands accused of irrationality or demented superstition. This is evil.
It is also to be seen as a practical approach to be taken by sincere and helpful educators.

Kinda puts me in mind of a pair of American white girls who went to Africa some years back. Saw it on PBS, a documentary. The lassies went on a personal mission to educate the Dark Continent about AIDs and the absolute necessity of condoms. They were distributing those, too.
As we now know any real educational experience is an exchange, not a patriarchal handing down of laws. Each party learns something valuable. In this case one of the missionary ladies learned that she was made preggers or gonorrheal. Such are the hazards presented to the proselytizer - the biter and bit. I think he got something out of it too but cannot recall what it was.
Really appalling, but what drives me crazy is the invented history of Oregon as a “white, racist KKK paradise.” I want to chalk most of it up to ignorance, but I fear a lot of is willful lies.
Oregon became a state in 1859, when America’s greatest crisis - the battle over slavery - was taking place. While some states joined the Union as slave states, Oregon’s motto was “the Union,” fighting words when blood was being shed in Kansas and Missouri over the issue.
Oregon was a harsh place in the early 19th century, settled by religious New Englanders, most of whom were bitterly anti-slavery, but others, from the South, like Territorial Governor Joseph Lane, a blatant Confederate sympathizer. In order to prevent open warfare a compromise was reached, theoretically barring Black people from coming to Oregon. Yet these laws were NEVER enforced. In fact when a few southerners tried bringing slaves to Oregon the territorial courts awarded the former slaves their freedom.
The KKK was indeed a political player right after WW1, just as it was in other, NORTHERN states like Indiana. But what goes unmentioned is that the KKK’s animosity was directed at two different “others,” - the Chinese who had come from California and China and who helped build the West, but particularly Catholics, who the Klan hated. The KKK managed to drive most of the thousands of Chinese from Astoria and they railed against Catholic schools, and succeeded in passing some of the toughest laws in the nation requiring public, not parochial schools. In 1920 the Black population, well before either of the two “Great Migrations” was almost zero.
Yet Oregon enjoyed a political renaissance of sorts, first with the election of Governor Oswald West, a century ago, along with the “progressive populism” of William U’Ren (the most significant Oregonian you’ve never heard of). He brought the popular referendum and direct election of US Senators - true democracy - to Oregon, and America. In 1930 Oregon elected its first independent Governor, Julius Meier, a Jew who was loathed by the OREGONIAN.
The real history of Oregon is lost in the fog of wokeness, and Oregon’s public schools’ historical parents were…the Klan!
Jake Gittes : Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What could you buy that you can't already afford?
Progressives : The future, Mr. Gittes! The future. Now, where's the girl? I want the only daughter I've got left. As you found out, Evelyn was lost to me a long time ago.
Jake Gittes : Who do you blame for that? Her?
Progressives : I don't blame myself. You see, Mr. Gittes, most people never have to face the fact that at the right time and the right place, they're capable of ANYTHING.
Rather lumpily employed is that quote. But that superbly nasty pervert of infinite power Noah Cross condescending and perfectly confident - unafraid of punishment or restraint - well he is so sufficiently satanic that I had to squeeze him in there. Progressives cannot conceive of being held to account or really that there is anything for which to be held to account.
What is going on in our society is absolutely evil.
Yes, I can go on about Rules of the Game and etc. (world's greatest movies). But, for my money this film is so nearly perfect or perhaps even perfect. Polanski's exile is truly punishment condign. To achieve that motion picture and then to be deprived of what gave him meaning and purpose, America. In some ways it is a fresh twist of that hoary old story, The Man without a Country. Provided you took out the repentance. Perhaps the Tantalus story is more apt.
Those first two Godfathers are exquisite. A prelapsarian Al, before he ever scenery chewed. DeNiro back when he was a professional actor.
Child abuse. Grooming. They both apply. The Cultural Marxist agenda with it’s cult-like adherence to divisive and destructive racial and sexual “lenses” is destroying education in Portland and around he nation. This cultural rot is peddled, pushed and “demanded” by the Oregon Department of Education. There is a reason child, teen and young adult anxiety and fear levels are at an all time high. K-12 (and beyond) education is programming it.
As for the trans element - Can you say Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy!
Oh yeah - PPS also doesn’t cover that Gulag Achipelago thing either (might put a damper on the hard core socialist “leanings”). And actual courage, not the faux “courageous conversations” where tribal sheep bleat his/her/it’s intersectional role, would be standing up and countering the Leftist narrative and their accompanying selective/revisionist history.
There is a more than valid reason people are taking their kids out of PPS.
In Oregon, public schools (and their owners, the unions) have capped Charter schools. It's like GM capping the number of car companies that can be started...something that would be seen as illegal and immoral.
It will take a crisis--and a really tough political leadership--to break that strangle-hold. And the progressive machine has bought off any possible opponents...and made becoming a dissenter a threat to jobs and (who knows?) life.
There are no Tom McCalls...or Wayne Morses--on the political horizon. Only play-it-safe mediocrities need apply
There is a Wayne Morse, a man who was a friend of my father, and who I was honored to meet before the Oregon Democratic Party cast him aside for his heretical opposition to the Vietnam War.
That person is the state’s second (hopefully) independent Governor, Betsy Johnson.
And I lived here under both McCAll and Wayne Morse and mark hatfield and many other Politicians who actually had their shit together and had some morals and beliefs. They also got good shit done.

End of rant.
There is a Wayne Morse, a man who was a friend of my father, and who I was honored to meet before the Oregon Democratic Party cast him aside for his heretical opposition to the Vietnam War.
That person is the state’s second (hopefully) independent Governor, Betsy Johnson.
And I lived here under both McCAll and Wayne Morse and mark hatfield and many other Politicians who actually had their shit together and had some morals and beliefs. They also got good shit done.
Agreed. Morse, in particular, has been memory-holed. How did such a cantankerous state lose its nerve?
What’s worse is we got Bob Packwood as our next senator for quite some time.
The sexual harassment senator.
