  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This means DeSantis’s parents would have had to sign off on him going by “Ron.”
It’s like he’s not trying to be Trump as much as he wants to be like Reagan; which, unfortunately, he’s not a talented understudy. The ambition just oozes out for me in this campaign materials.
He wants power that he can wield to make things better by doing things his way. This ambition drives (nearly) all of politics and is normal, but some of his “restrictions” are nearing to “changing underwear every half hour”, (Google that kids!)

Maybe he’ll be at least be “presentable” in ‘28?

All right, Bartholomew and Anastasia, we'll have none of that name shortening nonsense around here.
I could swear that nearly half of The Brothers Karamazov is character names.

When all this nonsense got started, I thought about my student Cynthia, who (not unreasonably) wanted to be called "Cindy". Can you imagine having someone tell you how they want to be addressed, and then not doing so? Or worse yet, in this new twist, having to get parental permission to do so? I mean, it's not just a microaggression to call Cynthia Cynthia. It would border on bullying if you kept insisting, "Your name on the roll sheet is Cynthia, Cynthia. I'm sorry, Cynthia, there's just nothing I can do about it."

I was kinda hoping the article was going to provide the actual wording of the rule, rather than just opine. Of course this wasn't something that existed until LGBTQ put so much into getting children caught up its gender rabbit hole. I'm sure the reason for it is Johnny insisting on being called "Becky" due to LGBTQ influencing. Or perhaps something more creative like "Sparkle Queen" because Johnny decided he wants to be like his drag queen story teller.

Will their real official nicknames be required to be on a school badge denoting it’s proper pronunciation and will these be provided for free and what is the “fee”, if not?

Another post trying to blame somebody else for the GOP losing culture wars of their own creation.

The party of personal responsibility?

From the link:

The form also applies to transgender students who do not want to use their legal name.

And the truth will set you free!

Bobby cannot be referred to as Cindy without the parents knowing and permitting it, so the LGBTQ has their knickers in a knot.

Bobby also cannot be referred to as Bob, at least if school administrators don't want to be on the receiving end of lawsuits.
It's a very weird place to make a stand, hopefully voters don't catch on that instead of addressing things like the economy or immigration, the GOP is wasting tax dollars trying to get big government involved in which nicknames be used for their children at school.

It's amazing how synonymous child and trans is now.

So then just apply it to gender switchy names - which is their actual intent - and not every single Dave and Sue.

Of course it does. The whole point is that it applies to EVERY STUDENT AT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.

Yes, of course this rule is aimed at making the lives of a tiny percentage of students more miserable, but the effect is to put everybody through some dumb paperwork.

What makes you think the percentage is all that tiny these days? Being transwhatever (so many varieties to choose from now) is becoming quite popular.
