“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

Both in fact

"parental rights" is usually just code for instilling bigotry or other abuse

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

100% agree.

Conservatives are such a heady mix of stupid and dishonest.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

And don't forget the secret ingredient: malice.

[-] hume_lemmy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Considering how these folks tend to end up: has anyone checked Aaron's PC for any "hidden" folders full of pictures?

What a confusing headline. I don't think most reasonable people would know or assume that 'Libs of Tiktok' is a conservative hate group.

[-] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 56 points 2 weeks ago

Less of a group and more just a cunt named Chaya Raichik.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I don't understand why the media doesn't name her.

Oh wait maybe I do...

[-] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 17 points 2 weeks ago

When's the last time you ever heard a liberal refer to themselves as a "lib"?

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I'm a liberal and that's what I call myself.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago
[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

There’s nothing gross about being a liberal.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Cool.

Don’t forget to vote in the primaries and mid terms this year I know I will be.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry your candidates keep getting their asses kicked. Don't worry you still have John Fetterman though I guess. So enjoy that...

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Remind me was John Fetterman the one that leftists were excited about then he turned or was he the one with nazi tattoos and a history of sexual assault?

Apart from enabling facsism, there is nothing gross about it.

Precisely the point. It's a literal false flag.

[-] Pavidus@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

Can confirm. I know someone who lost their career over this bitch.

[-] Blibly@lemmy.world 56 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Maestro@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago

Sparkling ~~Free Speech~~ Genocide

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[-] Archimedes@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Indeed, the MAGA fucknuts are making their push.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

She's so stupid. Watch that interview by Taylor Lorenz if you don't believe she's dumb as bricks

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm so glad TikTok isn't owned by those nefarious censorship loving foreigners anymore.

[-] Headofthebored@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

About time someone stands up to elementary teachers. You can't bully me anymore Ms Sikes!
