Half of the country now thinks America’s moral values are “poor,” Gallup says. And the question on most people’s minds must be: What’s wrong with the other 50%? “Poor” suggests that the nation’s moral values register at all — an assumption this Pride Month is quickly proving wrong.
When the speaker of the House is strutting the Ru Paul catwalk, the president is turning America into a welfare state for kids’ gender reassignments, and gay bars are becoming the latest elementary school hangouts, “morality” doesn’t exactly spring to mind. But despite cratering poll numbers in the Democrats’ core constituencies — blacks, Hispanics, suburban women, moms, and Gen Z — the party parades on, seemingly incapable of a course correction.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) only dug the hole deeper, insisting that “drag queens are fun,” and they “make everything better.” “[You] know what is not a problem for kids who are seeking a good education? Drag queens,” Nessel argued. “Drag queens are entertainment,” she insisted. “And you know what I’ll say that was totally not poll-tested? I’d say this, ‘A drag queen for every school.’”
Of course, it’s not the first time a Democrat has suggested the idea. A week ago, California State Senator Scott Weiner decided to play off his brilliant new idea for schools — mandatory Drag Queen 101 for K-12 — as a “joke,” after sparking national outrage.
