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.

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.”

Target BOYCOTT? Why Target's LGBT items make Glenn LOSE HIS MIND



Target has historically celebrated Pride Month, but this year the company may have taken the annual celebration a little too far for consumers.

The retailer has come out with a Pride line that includes children and toddler clothing and features “tuck-friendly” or “binding” swimwear in women's styles.

Glenn Beck and many others online have noticed the swimwear in recent trips to Target, and Glenn does not approve.

“I have no problem with trans if that’s what you want to do,” he explains, “but it is a very small percentage — less than one percent of the population. Let me say it again, less than one percent. And you would think we are a country made up of trans people.”

Despite the extraordinarily small percentage that transgender people make up, we’re inundated with campaigns by major brands that center around them.

But it’s not just the distortion of the truth that’s a problem, Glenn Beck warns.

According to Glenn, Target has partnered with Abprallen — a brand that sells Satanist merchandise — to create clothing for its Pride collection.

The items feature slogans like “We belong everywhere,” “Too queer for here,” and “Cure transphobia not trans people.”

The company was founded by a gay trans man named Eric Carnell, who recently was quoted saying: “I’m especially happy about the thought that young closeted people will see it and I hope in some way they’ll feel a little more comfortable in themselves, as we deserve to feel.”

According to Carnell, the word “groomer” is a “right-wing transphobic word,” but Carnell claims that Carnell was also groomed when young.

Despite this admission, the activist’s products on the brand’s website seem to promote violence against those who disagree with the LGBTQ movement.

One of the products featured is a pin with two axes on it that reads “Ready to fight for trans rights,” and another is a design with a guillotine and skulls near it that reads “Homophobic headrest.”

“Now imagine,” Glenn says, “if I made a T-shirt that had a guillotine and skulls and I said ‘Liberal headrest.’ Do you think they would say I was promoting violence?”

Glenn mentions that another T-shirt available on the site reads "Satan respects pronouns."

“Are you shopping at Target?” he asks. “I hope not.”
