Mamdani’s temporary, partial surrender on gender transitions for children
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Washington Examiner
Globally, the tide has turned against sex changes for children, with multiple countries rolling back such policies. Even New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani can’t bring himself to transition children at his new taxpayer-funded gender clinic. City health officials under Mamdani are planning to open a “gender-affirming care clinic.” This state-run facility will use taxpayer money to encourage people to reject their actual gender and start them on the irreversible journey of cross-sex hormones and permanent surgical alterations. According to City Health Commissioner Alister Martin, this is a grand step for transgender progress, “one of the first times that the public health department has ever taken that step.”

Children are being recruited as criminals at an 'industrial scale': Europol
Topic: Children and Family
Source: ABC News
“This is spreading like wildfire,” a top European law enforcement official said. Early on a Sunday evening last year, Anneli Berg said "see you later!" to her 16-year-old son Rio as he headed out to the gym with his friends. She expected him to arrive back at their home in Stockholm, Sweden, in just a couple of hours. But Berg would never speak to her son again. Just after 9 p.m. that night in March 2025, a hooded stranger emerged from the dark, came up behind the group that had just left the gym, pulled a gun and opened fire. One teen was shot in the thigh. Rio was killed.

The Little Girl With Knife and Axe Just Gave the System a Final Whack
Topic: Children and Family

[Ed: I confirmed some details of this story thru consulting a BBC article.] The story of this little girl and the video of her protecting her sister, which galvanised the world, has come full circle. In August of last year, Lola and Ruby Moire were walking home in a suburb of Dundee, Scotland, and being harassed by the ubiquitous 'migrants' who form so integral a part of these United Kingdom stories anymore. The abuse from their pursuers was so intense that one of the girls can be heard warning them off, shouting, 'Don’t f**king touch her, she’s f**king 12!'

California Cult Leader Gets 225 Years for Raping Followers
Topic: Violence Against Women
Source: SF Gate
Hmong congregation founder Sansue Bee Vang abused women, children he claimed to lead. California has locked away a self-styled "prophet" who turned his religious group into a vehicle for sexual abuse. A judge on Tuesday sentenced 58-year-old Sansue Bee Vang of Oroville to 225 years to life in prison, the most that the state allows, after a Butte County jury in February convicted him of eight counts of child molestation and three counts of rape that involved members of his Hmong following, per SFGate. Prosecutors say Vang founded his sect—translated as "Belief in the Mother"—in Appleton, Wisconsin, then moved followers to Fresno in 2015 and later to Oroville, where they began building a temple and community on 170 acres and treated him as a prophet.

Planned Parenthood Sues Alaska Over Abortion Telehealth Ban
Topic: Abortion
Source: Newsmax
Planned Parenthood sued Alaska on Thursday, seeking to overturn a state law that requires patients to travel to a medical facility to obtain medication abortions, arguing the restriction violates constitutional protections and unnecessarily limits access to care in one of the nation's most geographically challenging states. The lawsuit, filed in Alaska Superior Court, challenges a state statute that Planned Parenthood says effectively prohibits direct-to-patient telehealth medication abortions by requiring all abortions to be performed in a hospital or other approved healthcare facility.

The perpetual victimhood and racial tribalism of Karmelo Anthony’s defenders
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Washington Examiner
This case was as clear-cut as it gets, but there was one hangup for the media racial complex: Metcalf was white, and Anthony was black. Therefore, there had to be a racial angle to this, and Anthony had to be a victim of a witch hunt where the white teen was the aggressor. That was the line of argument taken by outgoing Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who claimed (against evidence) that Metcalf was the racist aggressor. Crockett also claimed that, if the roles were reversed, Metcalf would receive no punishment if he killed Anthony under similar circumstances.

From "Believe Women" to Silence
Topic: Political Correctness

Gillibrand Faces Questions Over Maine Democrat Allegations. At the height of the #MeToo movement, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand built a national reputation by demanding accountability from powerful figures accused of misconduct. Whether the accused was a member of her own party or a Republican nominee to the Supreme Court, Gillibrand frequently argued that allegations from women deserved serious consideration and public attention. Today, however, critics are pointing to what they see as a striking double standard. Gillibrand has remained publicly silent following reports detailing allegations against Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner, who is expected to become his party's nominee for the U.S. Senate.

When the appetite for moral reform becomes an appetite for destruction. In February 2022, Tyler Cowen made a prediction that sounded premature to many people: wokeism had peaked. At the time, this seemed far from obvious. The elite institutions most associated with wokeness as a kind of new moral politics—universities, media organisations, nonprofits, foundations, publishing houses, museums, professional associations, and large corporations—still seemed firmly under its grip. DEI bureaucracies were still expanding. "Cancellations" still carried real social and professional force. Corporate America still spoke the language of "equity" with missionary confidence.

AAUP and Mellon Foundation Accused of Targeting Civics Centers. There is an alarming media report about an effort by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) to target civics programs with the help of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It is only the latest accusation of political bias at the AAUP under President Todd Wolfson. I will be debating Dr. Wolfson on the value of institutional neutrality on June 23. Trinity College Professor Isaac Kamola, the director of the AAUP’s Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom (CDAF), explains that they want to unleash “naming and shaming and discrediting and undermining the legitimacy” of such civics programs.

The number of births has decreased steadily in recent years, with 690,000 fewer children born in 2024 than in 2007.
