Gen Z rebels against woke teachers: 'My pronouns are USA!'
Maybe Gen Z isn’t as woke as we think. While the age group is certainly associated with liberal ideology, some are taking a stand in a very bold way.
Lauren Chen is encouraged by the recent happenings in a Massachusetts middle school, where students pre-planned a protest during a Pride celebration.
Students who took part in the protest dressed in red, white, and blue while they chanted, “My pronouns are U.S.A.!” They also tore down the Pride decorations in the hallway in response to feeling forced to participate in activism that is “by nature exclusionary,” according to Chen.
She affirms the students’ decision to “focus on their American identity, which includes all Americans, including LGBT ones.”
“That’s kind of brilliant,” she says, and totally “within the vein of civil disobedience.”
In response to the protest, the superintendent wrote, “Burlington Public Schools believe in the individual dignity and humanity of each and every person in our community. We embrace everyone for who they are and for what they bring to our schools and larger community.”
“Nice words,” Chen says, “but the thing is that the superintendent didn’t seem to care so much about being kind and embracing everybody when he essentially, or his school essentially, told straight students that they don’t exist and are certainly less worthy of being celebrated than their LGBT counterparts.”
What Chen is referring to is a Tennessee Williams quote that was displayed in the school that read: “What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it’s curved like a road through mountains.”
“Kind of seems like they’re saying no one is straight, which is outright not true,” Chen says.
It’s not just American students who are speaking out. Across the pond, tension tied to the LGBTQ+ movement is just as common. Chen plays a recording of a conversation between a student and teacher in a U.K. school. You won’t believe what this educator says. Watch the full video here.

Muslims FIGHT Pride, progressives SHOCKED
While there are members of the LGBTQ+ community who believe they can count Muslims among their allies, recent videos have begun circulating on social media showing that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
In one video, a group of Muslim children in Canada are pictured stomping all over a pile of rainbow flags while protesting the rise of LGBTQ+ propaganda in schools.
Lauren Chen of "Pseudo-Intellectual" isn’t surprised.
“Let’s discuss the growing tensions between Muslim communities in the West and the Rainbow Mafia because you see, both Muslims and the gays are beloved marginalized groups — at least in the eyes of progressives,” Chen comments.
Chen believes the progressive left’s adoration of Muslim communities exists because Muslims are often darker in skin tone and hale from developing countries — which beside fluid sexuality is the left’s bread and butter.
“It’s definitely not because they’re religious though because we know that leftists hate religions other than their own. Their own religion, of course, being Marxism” she adds.
Muslims across the U.S. and Canada are making it abundantly clear that they want nothing to do with the left’s religion.
“Muslim communities in Canada and the US,” Chen says, are “actually pushing back and saying ‘Hang on a second, we are not on board with this degeneracy — especially when it comes to our children.'”
The Muslim community in Hamtramck, Michigan, is no different.
The city has voted to ban Pride flags and other religious symbols from all Hamtramck city property — which of course has been met with pushback by LGBTQ+ activists.
“Good on them for not caving to the LGBT agenda,” Chen says, “I have a lot of respect for the Muslims of the city who are standing up not only for their values, but yes, also for American values.”
One Hamtramck man took to the podium to back the decision to ban Pride flags. He said, “I am a Lebanese person and I support the American flag. We are not gonna’ sit here and tolerate you guys come in and say ‘Oh, it’s Pride Month.’”
“You’re gay, no problem,” he continued, “You be gay by yourself.”

Companies GO GAY for Pride
America has given fallen soldiers one day, Memorial Day, to be remembered and thanked for their incredible sacrifice.
A couple of days later, America gives the LGBTQ+ community an entire month to celebrate not being straight.
Lauren Chen of "Pseudo-Intellectual" notes that it’s “an entire month dedicated to celebrating, well, frankly, debauchery and degenerate lifestyles.”
And the reason the entire month of June — and the month leading up to it — is full of rainbows and gay slogans is because nearly every large corporation has begun using Pride Month as a marketing tool.
Chen says that with Pride Month, companies are using "social awareness as a marketing strategy” because there is “no other month that’s kind of wrapped up with a social movement that companies are more excited about pandering to.”
The North Face is now one of those companies.
“For some reason, some North Face executive thought that the best way to sell outdoor gear to, I mean, frankly, upper-middle-class hippies would be through a drag queen,” Chen says.
A recently released North Face Pride Month ad features a drag queen promoting the brand's new 2023 Pride collection — and "Summer of Pride," which seems to be a cross-country tour of sorts.
“So, North Face is not only releasing pandering ads and Pride-inspired gear, but they’re also essentially organizing. I mean, some might even call them protests or activist events across the country,” Chen says.
While brands can do whatever they want, it doesn't make what they are doing any less disgusting, Chen says.
She makes the point that our society “leaves us with a single day, Memorial Day, to honor those who have given everything, sacrificed their lives in order to protect our freedoms,” while giving “an entire month to celebrate, you know, some confused college student who likes to wear shorts and therefore thinks she’s a different gender.”
