Australian Parents Pull Children From School After Graphic Class Teaching About Bestiality

What comes after LGBTQIA+ in the rainbow alphabet being taught to captive children? Many critics of the movement assumed it would be P for pederasty and pedophilia, and in some places, it is. But in Australia, it seems that “B” might be the next letter added to the ever-longer list of sexual and gender deviance.

According to whistleblowers and outraged parents, children as young as 13 in a South Australia school were forcibly taught about sexual activities with animals as part of a “queer” LGBTQIA+ “sex education” class. The revelations drew outrage from parents and half-hearted apologies from “education” officials.

Turkey Halts All Trade With Israel, Officials Say

United Methodist Church REJECTS God’s word to embrace LGBTQ, changes pronouns to was/were

Several years ago, there was a split in the United Methodist Church over the issue of whether or not the church should be “gay affirming.”

“It also had to do with gay clergy, and I’m talking openly gay, affirming homosexuality, homosexual relationships, as what they would call holy, normal, fine, on the same plane as a heterosexual actual marriage,” Allie Beth Stuckey explains.

Now, the controversy is continuing.

Last Wednesday, delegates at the United Methodist Church General Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, voted to overturn the church’s historic discipline and doctrine on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

China Drafts Law to Require Military Training for Elementary School Children

The Chinese Communist regime has drafted a law that would require military training for children all the way down to the elementary school level. If the legislation is approved, it could go into effect this year.

Nikkei Asia noted on Tuesday that some Chinese high schools and universities already require students to participate in basic military drills, some of which involve tanks, armored personnel carriers, hand grenades, and rocket launchers.

Congressional witnesses claim China is sequencing DNA for forced organ harvesting

New testimony given before Congress has indicated that the allegations of forced organ harvesting in China have taken an even more disturbing turn.

The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) held a hearing last month, with Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) — the chair and co-chair of the commission — present. During the hearing, titled, “Stopping the Crime of Organ Harvesting: What More Must Be Done?” the commission heard from witnesses detailing how China has continued forcibly harvesting organs from Uyghurs, other Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Falun Gong practitioners, political prisoners, and more — but with an added twist.
