Just when you think you’ve seen it all folks…
Just when you think the News couldn’t look any more like The Onion…
…you get this story.
To quote that kid after the dentist visit high on laughing gas: “Is this real life?”
Yes, somehow this is real life.
And it’s a world I’m scared to have my kids living in.
Because we now have teachers — yes TEACHERS — elementary school teachers — fighting for the right to show kids porno in school.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Just one question…isn’t that, like, the definition of illegal?
I mean, if I went over to your house and showed your kids a stash of porno, they’d haul me off to jail, right?
Sharing porn with children is a federal crime. Lock these teachers up and disband thr union. Teach Kids About Porn in School, Demand Teachers at Union Conference https://t.co/YYzTM6UnyJ via @BreitbartNews

Oh wait, it IS illegal.
And these people are sick.
Our friends over at Breitbart had more details:
Teachers at a union conference demanded that kids be taught about porn in schools in order to help them “understand” and “cope” with the material.
A teachers’ union in Britain has heard demands from its members that schools be allowed to teach children about pornography, which they argue would allow kids to better “understand” and “cope” with the material when they come into contact with it.
The demands were aired at a meeting of the National Education Union (NEU), which has previously organised training that instructed teachers not to use gendered language with students.
According to a report by The Telegraph, teachers made the demand for kids to be taught about porn at the union’s annual conference at Bournemouth, with some within the organisation appearings to believe that teachers instructing kids on porn will allow them to more critically engage with the explicit content, which the union claims is filled with “racism” and “sexist tropes”.
What’s more, the publication also reported teachers saying that the demand should be met in order to prevent children from sharing explicit images of themselves.
“The majority of pornography projects a distorted view of sex and sexual relationships and it should be a matter of concern that mainstream sites regularly feature violent acts against women and girls, incest and racism,” said Dr Mary Bousted — who serves as the union’s Joint General Secretary — on the topic.
“As a union we are supporting schools to address sexual harassment and to explore how teachers and all staff can take a whole school approach to gender equality and sexist, homophobic and transphobic stereotypes,” Bousted continued. “As a society, we must not underestimate the impact viewing pornography has on young people.”
“Relationships and Sex Education as a subject must be used to explore with young people what healthy relationships look like,” she also said.
Considering the track record of the National Education Union, it is rather unsurprising that those linked to the group cited “racism”, “sexist tropes” and “transphobic stereotypes” as the driving force behind the demand for education on porn, with the organisation having previously supported pushing many progressive talking points onto British children.
This isn’t the first dalliance between a Teacher’s Union and Porno.
Check that: a Teachers Union supporting and defending Porno.

Or this?
The @IowaSEA (teachers union) is currently advocating for porn in schools, the pillaging of girls sports and calling the cops on parents who publicly disagree with teacher propaganda. Time for a revolution. Put your trucker hat on and take your country back.

Former Teachers Union Inclusion and Diversity Officer Arrested for Producing Child Pornhttps://t.co/vHE5xRcMVV

Here’s more on that last one from Newsweek:
George A. Buss, a 63-year-old retired Illinois school teacher who worked nationally as an Abraham Lincoln impersonator, was arrested Friday morning in his home of Freeport on felony allegations of producing child pornography and a misdemeanor for patronizing a prostitute.
While details of what led to Buss’s arrest aren’t yet available online, the public documents website, The Smoking Gun, stated that Buss was arrested after a six-month investigation. The site mentioned that a 22-year-old man, Tyler Dotson, was also arrested and charged with two counts of distributing child porn and one of prostitution. It’s unclear if or how the two men might be connected.
Both men are currently being held on a $200,000 bond at the Stephenson County Jail in Freeport, Illinois.
Buss’s professional website states that he has been imitating Lincoln for over 30 years including at educational events in public schools, state fairs and historical societies. For 11 years, he worked with Richard Sokup—a man who imitated Lincoln’s political rival, Democratic Senator Stephen Douglas—and the two would create reenactments of the famous 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates.
Buss also lived about 220 miles north of Springfield, Lincoln’s hometown, a town he would occasionally visit for impersonation work.
“George Buss brings Lincoln to life not only through his looks, mannerisms and behaviors, but also through his extensive depth of knowledge about Lincoln the man and the life and times of Abraham Lincoln,” said Sarah Seiler Watson, executive director of Looking for Lincoln, an educational program held in the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area of Springfield, Illinois, where the now-deceased president and his wife resided for 17 years.
