Probably. An organized action is not that common. Especially when it appears to be an action driven by hatred. To get kids to read with hatred usually takes some adult supervision.

Students Are Pushing Back Against Gender Ideology In Their Schools
- Thread starter We Never Know
- Start date
Finally! Someone who knows their history. It’s scary to watch from the outside (and combat from within)Especially appropriate as trans people were among the first targeted, with the famous nazi youth book burning picture being from a sexology institute studying transsexuals and gender or sex nonconforming. They were labeled as deviants even before the pink triangle became a thing.
Same arguments. Danger to our children and unpatriotic.

School is for learning. Not for activism.
Did it not occur to you that they were just making the point by irony that the "pronouns" being requested by the DEI proponents are as silly?
It is disheartening to see that you equate pushing back against the ideas a group of people hold as pushing back against them as people.
Why? The one group has nothing to do with the other.Reminds me of this:
Being gay or trans IS who they are. It's the pushing back against them as gay or trans is cruelty. That's the nature of bigotry.

Being religious(or atheist) is also who people are.
They are ways of life, life styles, etc.
It's like you didn't even read what I wrote.
There is no evidence they are being pushed back because they are gay or trans. Their ideas of how pronouns should be used in a school are being pushed back against.
Who gives a proverbial what pronouns people choose? If they want to be called by this that or the other pronoun, why should I bother to argue? It costs me nothing to be civil, and it apparently matters to them.
The kind of brainless conformity above reminds me of T. H. White's ants' nest, where the slogan on the walls was "Everything Not Forbidden is Compulsory".
Very authoritarian, very Putin, very Trump.
Oh I understood what you meant.It's like you didn't even read what I wrote.

They can learn activism in school.
Did it not occur to you that they are bigots and also incredibly stupid.
I have observed in is very common for bigots to also be incredibly stupid. It is as if bigotry and ignorance go hand in hand.

Wouldn't pronouns be very much to do with being trans?It's like you didn't even read what I wrote.

Their problem if they are stupid.
Maybe, maybe not.

Yes, it is a reasonable equation. The ideas being pushed back against are based on acceptance of a traditionally maligned group as part of the community. Consider that pushback against symbols of pride for being part of that group is inherently pushback against that group itself.

They apparently also destroyed rainbow decorations. That the counter demonstration occurred during a Pride event suggests it was more than pronouns they were protesting.

The problem is, those people and groups who now want acceptance, are forcing their views on children who are young and innocent. They are too young to be a part of those you are accusing. You are now the bullies in real time, bullying any children who do not go along with your view. A religious child could be target in your world of bullies.
This youth push back is healthy, since it is good for people; students to push against the system. It is not good for the system to push against the choices of the majority of students. They are the future and should not be pushed backwards by adults stuck in their own time warp.
I liked the 1970's, when the slogan was, "Do not trust anyone over thirty. " I was a teen then. This line in the sand pit the new generation versus the older generation. The young people were able to united in all their difference and got beyond the shallows of differences, that the old generation still maintained. They would come around since they saw hope in the future of their children.
The age of 30 is when adult culture expects you to make choices for the future and become part of the system; family and career. Below 30, is when you are young enough to idealize and be a rebel for the good of the future; love generation. The idealized youth of the 1970's formed a team. It was awesome. It was not just accepting old time definitions of diversity, but it was about creative experimentation for new forms of diversities and acceptance. Trans was an option, but none of the options were granted center stage at the expense of others; pro nouns. That does not allow inclusion. This misunderstanding or con job came from the current older generation. It is designed to create division, which it did.

Are you kidding??? Science destroyed the environment, animals and humans. You mention ''psychology'' like it's valid or something.
