#SpaceCamp #Transgender #DEI
Hahahaha you mean MAGA bigots actually take their kids to a place where science is taught?
Why should they have to “defend” having a trans employee?
Because parents were taken by surprise. Had they known up front it might have influenced some parents decision to send their kids to space camp.
@@ericeandcoThey’re people just like anyone else, people whose very existence has been politicized by the intolerant right. Would you also be in favor of them disclosing them having people of color on their staff? Because it’s the same thing. At this point, it sounds like the mere existence of trans people is offensive to bigots. Yet, when it comes to the countless priests and pastors that have actually sexually abused children? Crickets.
@@ericeandco That’s sad and pathetic
@@ericeandco Ah so you feel they deceived parents. You feel a product should disclose if it is, has been around, employed, or made by a transgender person so consumers aren’t “Taken by surprise” by having to tell people you’re a bigot. Kind of seems like that falls more on the individual parent for being close-minded and not the facility that’s just running a business.
Read this clown’s social media posts…it’s sick and twisted!
If your bias is so misplaced that you deny your child an opportunity to attend Space Camp…
You are part of the problem.
Men have no business in the bathroom with little girls …. This weird Reality they trying to get us to accept is never gonna happen … It’s people out here with real problems they never had any control or say so over … Being ignored or basically being over the cliff for … As these people get government funded surgeries , while regular people with Real issues that actually need surgeries and treatments have to go through never ending red tape … That sometimes ends in suicide or death
Wow Chuck, yesterday, you spread absurd lies about how you think Germany did not “allow” Walmart into its market, now you spread propaganda against transgender people. What’s next, pizzagate theories?
I wonder what will happen if our first alien contact is from a world where binary gender isn’t a thing. Republicans heads will explode 🤯🤯
There was an entire episode of the show Star Trek Enterprise where they encountered a trinary gender where there was a third gender and for these particular aliens to have children they needed to have threesome XD
Y’all are worried bout the wrong folx
🏹—-🎯💯🏆
Right. Where is this outrage for youth pastors and clergy? I just dont understand the selective process
That’s not a word
@@AlbertBormantit’s obviously a typo, man. did you never learn about context clues?
Sounds like these parents are pretty typical for Alabama. They’re racist, homophobic, and don’t believe slavery happened. These hicks pulling their kids out because of their fear of people be different then them it’s fine. It opens it for others lol
Nothing is inherently wrong with being transgender… Personally, I don’t support it, and never will. But I don’t see an issue here so long as the rules that employees are told to follow are actually being enforced. And so long as transgenderism isn’t being encouraged or taught in space camp. It’s just not relevant to the program.
It wasn’t disclosed to parents before they enrolled their kids. It may have influenced their decision to enroll.
Transgenderism isn’t a thing or a word XD
Being trans isnt taught and can’t be taught. It’s something you are or aren’t.
The crazy that’s happening now and the stuff they’re putting in schools is not trans.
If this employee at the space camp is actually trans and not one of these new weirdos, there should be nothing to worry about.
no one cares if you support it, get over yourself
@@ericeandcothey didnt list black or brown people either
@@7531monkey when did I say I support it? 🧐
A man dressed up as a woman around children, what could go wrong
Gross 🤮.
yeah… everyone knows pastors always have a clear record.
Yeah you are aren’t ya 😂
Ikr the dad was wayyyyy overreacting. What a gross reaction
Parents have the choice not to send their kid’s to that space camp. You do what’s right for your family. Some won’t care. It’s a deal breaker for others.
Would you say the same thing if it was people of color that was being objected to? What about if it was a person of a different religion? Do we really want to normalize discrimination and make employers have to worry about hiring certain types of people because some racists, homophobes or other bigots might objected and they will lose business. Can’t we condemn bigots for being bigoted and promote a tolerate world were different types of people can work at any job without having to face bigotry or intolerance?
Always great to be reassured how good the american education system is
Check to see if yer kid can get into this faith-based space camp:
KOLOB KIDS KAMP(kkk for short)
if people hate it, dont go to camp. weak af. its not even related to space.
they can go to church, pastors like kids more anyways.
They trying to indoctrinate you’re kids.
Stand strong Space Camp. The defense against narrow-minded fear is as old as mankind itself.
Space camp has always employed men.
all you’re doing is making your child miss out so you can push your bigotry.
Better safe than sorry on this one
Tik Tok rules for children
“We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you…
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness”
And we did that with our faith, brains, a slide rule and less computing power than a Pocket Calculator. What have you got?… A Trans in Space Camp
Bro is so strange
Have you read the social media posts this clown has written?
This is ridiculous. There’s nothing wrong with having a transgender educator. I applaud for space camp for hiring diverse staff, and i hope they stand firm against this bigotry.
Male teachers for girl pupils have always existed. This is not new.
Up next, Space camp defends the presence of ethnicities and other things on the workers rights poster in the breakroom 😅. I’m not sure how this is a story without even an allegation of misconduct or a crime. You can’t cry wolf (progressive agenda) over one trans employee. Google says they employ 313 people there. The Space is falling! 😂
The story is about people being offended at the dads decision. The dad didn’t report anything
Right. He started “hearing things from other people”. Like what? From whom? When? Would they have ANY concrete evidence? Why would there not have been more reports or action taken against the supposed “threat” before now?
Religious leaders are the ones we really need to worry about
How did anyone find out? Isn’t that a HIPAA violation? Being transgender is a medical condition, it’s nobody’s business but the doctor’s and the patient.
Ok Groomer
You mean clergy and pastors from the church. That’s the ones you should be worried about.
Bro its literally space camp.
So what about a male teacher? Where’s the outrage of them being over girls all day?? Oh right theres not. Ridiculous. Stop caring about someone else’s body and choices and live your own life.
That’s the whole point. The father didn’t want a male teacher watching over his daughter at camp
@@albertfralinger2711She’s not male. She’s just a trans woman.
@@albertfralinger2711bs the parents didn’t whine about any of the other males, just the one trans lady. it’s obviously not about keeping kids safe for those people.
@@user-dg6qn4si1h that’s because male camp counselors look after the boys and female counselors look after the girls
Lady?? Yeah right. He isn’t fooling anyone @@user-dg6qn4si1h
Disgusting 🤮
I feel bad for the kid having an ignorant bigoted parent.
I hope the weirdos know they will never make it to space.
Talk about harvesting resentment in your kids…shes gonna be an adult one day and relize “THATS why I missed space camp??”
NBC GROOMER PROPAGANDA
Americans hate each other like no one else in the modern world, they’re so backward.
The only people who indoctrinated and groomed me were conservative Christians and their useful idiots. Not a single trans person has ever knocked on my door trying to “convert” me.
@@abcxyz2927 here, have a tin foil hat. LoL
@@abcxyz2927 repeating a claim in your echo chamber doesn’t make it true 🤣🤣🤣
No Trans do it online
bigot
Employ who you wanna employ, but don’t be surprised when parents take exception to it and take their business somewhere else. You should also be looking real hard at why a “former man” would want to be around a bunch of school age girls.
Well said. You are focusing on the right things!
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
So male teachers are big no no for you? Makes you also wonder why a dad want only girls if that’s seriously your logic. This is all, of course, pretending the fact that female predators don’t also exist.
You are all falling for the media bias. It’s not about transgender rights. It’s about child safety. A male should not be entering a room while girls are changing, yet that is exactly what has happened. It is not ok to put our children into these situations — which is inevitable when a male is the counselor given full access to girls’ dorm rooms and bathrooms.
And the Catholic priests get a free pass.
Maybe being taught by someone, who looks like they are from another planet, will enhance the experience.
transphobes try not to be horrible people challenge
Chortle..they’ll think they landed in a Trekkie convention
@@cheesepuff65 We aren’t the ones fighting to degrade womanhood, sexist
😅😅😅
Tbh the dad seemed like he was very familiar with the things adult men think about around little girls. How much of this is projecting on his side.
The only projecting is coming from the deranged freaks who think that biology is nothing but a social construct and that age is merely a number
This comment section has restored my faith in humanity.
Welcome to the great state of Alabama. Were we still have common sense. Over 3/4s of the state dont belive in this demonic ideology. Dude got probs.
☠ I told her not to move to Alabama. Love her like family, but she is way too idealistic believing she isn’t considered inherently political for existing in a state full of morons. Politics is a joke.
Sometimes, those complaining the loudest may be trying to divert attention from illiberal, degenerate proclivities, psychologist say.
Guys my class was on this trip when the transgender was sleeping with the girls will tell you the whole thing cause I was in it and my class mates well I was in boys dorm but they said that he/she was sleeping with them in the same room and that other parents and helpers voulteers from school families were watching them at night thought the morning and that they came early back today we go to a Christian school and is not what kids under14 should see , the rooms doors were not locked and staff keep coming into the girls rooms without Evan knocking so the left early and got back today at school and I think they should be fired and not be an. Educator for these children who Christ like and does excellecee and he should do he trans other were kids are not affected by this
The people complaining about a trans person having a job are the same people who complain about minorities needing welfare when they are underemployed or cannot find a job due to discrimination.
A man wanting everyone to treat him as a woman is still a man because he has male genitalia. A man has no right to be in an occupied dorm with 11year old little girls.
Nobody will want to send their kids to the space camp sideshow.
Thank you vigilant PARENTS
