The flame of wokeness – intolerance in the name of tolerance – wasn’t lit only recently. It’s been smoldering under the flag of progressivism for the last 100 years or so. “These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own,” G.K.

The first girl’s dad was thrown to the floor, handcuffed, and arrested when he refused to shut up about it at a school board meeting. The superintendent was later fired over the coverup. Unfazed, the Democrat-dominated school board weeks later enacted a policy allowing students to use the restroom matching their claimed gender identity.
