NJ’s New ‘Equity Rules’ Place Children in Sex Ed Class Based on Gender Identity, Not Biology

The New Jersey State Board of Education has passed new revisions to a policy on equity in education, with one new rule stipulating that students be placed in sex education classes according to their gender identity instead of their sex.

Changes to the state’s administrative code are periodically required and Wednesday’s board meeting centered on the changes to the equity rules, which were set to expire later this month, according to NJ.com.

The board ultimately approved the changes by a vote of 6-5 after a lengthy hearing where many concerned citizens gathered to oppose the new rules.

PBS NewsHour Rolls Out ‘Climate Psychology Therapist’ to Help Calm ‘Climate Anxiety’

PBS just keeps getting weirder: They actually brought on a “climate psychologist” to help calm ‘climate anxiety.’

Whatever that is!

As if people don’t have enough responsibilities or burdens in life, enter our friends at PBS. Now they have another thing they want people to focus on: climate anxiety!

John Yang, who is an anchor at PBS NewsHour, interviewed a “climate psychology therapist.”

According to NewsBusters:

PBS producers ran soundbites of seven souls who claimed the fear of “climate change” had made them anxious about the future, including Mark Ikeda, who said: “Climate anxiety affects my daily life, by the decisions I make about when I want to go someplace or where I want to go or more [inaudible], how I want to travel.”

John Yang interviewed Leslie Davenport, who is a “climate psychology therapist.” She says,” We view distress, upset, sadness, grief, anger about climate change to be a really reasonable, even healthy reaction.” She referred to this field of psychology as “emerging.” One has to ask, is climate change even qualify as science?

“This summer, millions of Americans are experiencing firsthand the effects of climate change. Triple-digit temperatures for days on end, smoke from record-setting wildfires fouling the air, warming oceans, bleaching coral reefs, Opinion polls when growing concern about climate change. Psychologists say that can be a positive thing, spurring people to action. But for some people, it becomes an overwhelming sense of despair or anxiety. Psychologists call it climate anxiety. This week, we asked people about their emotional responses to climate change,” John Yang said.

“Well, from the emerging field of climate psychology, one thing that’s really important to understand is we view distress, upset, sadness, grief, anger about climate change to be a really reasonable, even healthy reaction. Because it’s built into us as people that if we feel risks, threats, experience losses, there’s going to be upset. So it’s really important to acknowledge that if you’re feeling that on any level of intensity, it really means you’re paying attention, you care, you’re empathetic to what’s happening to our world,” Davenport said.

Davenport went on to tell viewers to find ‘climate circles’ to express their feelings.

Junk scientist Al Gore spearheaded the modern climate hysteria.

Al Gore has made climate predictions in the past that did not come true.

“Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was “boiling the oceans,” has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false,” Fox News reported.

For example, Gore said during a speech at the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009 that there was “a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.”

The former vice president made similar comments at least twice before in speeches, citing research.

These statements are just a sample of his apocalyptic view of our planet. Other claims have included rising temperatures, stronger storms, and rising sea levels.

One has to ask, science, or fiction?

Wuhan lab linked organization to receive more taxpayer funding

Amid swirling conjecture and controversy, EcoHealth Alliance, the nonprofit linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) – a focal point of the COVID-19 origin investigation – is poised to receive millions in new taxpayer-funded grants.

The new wave of funding comes despite the organization’s questionable record, having already channeled significant sums to the WIV for potentially risky bat coronavirus research.

According to The Daily Caller, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reinstated a previously suspended grant in May, pledging an annual sum of $576,000 to EcoHealth until 2027. Furthermore, 14 active grants are recorded on USASpending.gov, totaling nearly $50 million, 12 of which were initiated post-March 2020 – after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.

Additionally, the Department of Defense (DOD) has thrown its weight behind EcoHealth, extending a multi-million dollar grant in December of 2022, aimed at combating pandemic threats from Philippine wildlife. The DOD grant runs until December of 2025.

Dr. Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth, was a member of the World Health Organization team that sought to trace the origins of COVID-19 in China. However, critics have highlighted this as a potential conflict of interest due to his organization’s funding relationship with the WIV.

According to The Daily Caller, the House of Representatives has passed an amendment to defund WIV and EcoHealth under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), though it doesn’t impact current grants. USASpending.gov records nine active DOD grants, and five others, totaling over $47 million.

The House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic recently suggested that former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci initiated efforts to discredit the theory that COVID-19 could be traced to the WIV.

However, EcoHealth Alliance defended their work, stating, “The fact is that the bat coronavirus research conducted by EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology could not have started the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The tug-of-war over the origins of COVID-19 and the role of EcoHealth Alliance promises to continue, with ramifications for both global health policy and national security.
