Trump Says Children Are Having Sex Changes at School.

It’s not happening, and it’s dangerous and irresponsible to suggest that it is.

Well, if there’s one thing we’re used to when it comes to former President Donald Trump, it’s the fact that he can be counted upon to say ridiculous and irresponsible things. It’s been that way since he rode down the escalator at Trump tower to announce his intentions ot run for President, and he’s never exactly shied away from it.

I mean, how can we forget the time he suggested people drink bleach to cure themselves of covid?

Does January 6th and all the rhetoric that led up to it ring a bell for anyone?

Unfortunately, schools and teachers are once again the recent target of his wrath.

At a rally, Trump said:

“…Your child goes to school and they take your child. It was a he and comes back a she. And they do this. And often without parental consent…

I mean, it should go without saying that this is a dangerous thing to say and for a multitude of reasons.

Perhaps we should start with the most glaringly obvious: it’s not true.
