You hear that gruesome story of the 13-year-old middle-school girl from Deerfield confronted by school officials and ordered to disrobe in front of a male classmate?
It sounds too AWFL to be true.
But it happened, according to her mother Nicole Georgas who said Tuesday she was filing a police complaint with the police in Deerfield on top of a complaint she filed with the U.S. Department of Justice.
The mom alone standing up for her daughter's privacy was repeatedly mocked and insulted by hostile trans activists as she addressed a crowded District 109 School Board meeting.
The story has gone viral world-wide and was broken by the Lake County Gazette and Dan Proft's radio show "The Morning Answer."
To understand this bizzarro world, please understand this:
Even though President Donald Trump has signed an executive order protecting girls' privacy, and has vowed to cut federal education funding to rogue states, the Illinois Democrats are funded by billionaire Gov. JB Pritzker, who is the bankrupt state's leading activist for transexuals.
And he's running for president.
"The male student was present in the girls' locker room," Georges said at the school board meeting. "Feeling violated, the girls made the choice not change into their PE (physical education) clothes with a biological male present."
The next day Georgas said, the officials at Alan B. Shepherd Middle School tried to bully a girls' PE class into changing in front of the boy.
"(The administrators) all came into the girls locker room, making them change into uniform. This went on all week," Georgas said. "My daughter refused to take part in her privacy being violated. How dare they!"
She said Shepard School Principal Rob Wegley told her daughter that any male student can use any girls' bathroom or locker room at his school so long as they say claim to "identify as female."
Georgas said Wegley told her this was the school policy as dictated by Ford and "legal counsel." She said she has filed a civil rights complaint on behalf of her daughter with the U.S. Department of Justice.
Know too that even though Nicole Georgas' story has gone viral world-wide, with world-famous women's rights activist author J.K. Rowling and champion swimmer Riley Gaines championing the girls cause, it hasn't gone viral in Chicago media. "I'd remove my daughter instantly from that school, then go full Nemesis," Rowling posted on X.
Is that puzzling that the Chicago media would ignore such a story?
Then you don't know politics.
I heard about this first by listening to Proft's show.
My friend, conservative Dan Proft of Chicago's Morning Answer has covered the story, and covered it well. He's interviewed Nicole Georgas about her daughter and I link to that interview and his podcast here.
But crickets from other Chicago media. Why?
Are they afraid of Pritzker and his horde of trans activists?
The Chicago Tribune‐where I worked for 40 years and was lead columnist and member of the editorial board‐has ignored it. The newspaper's political writer goes out of his way to bash Proft and curry favor with the establishment corporate left whenever they can‐because that is the Combine's paper–but is it wise for the Tribune to cede the issue and write off so many parents?
Apparently so.
Also, the Sun Times has ignored it.
Both newspapers capitulated to neo-Marxist George Soros long ago. So we've already established that they have bendable knees.
What has happened to Illinois where Gov. Pritzker can operate this way, even as he campaigns for president?
It was once a state of common sense, and the politics were all about common sense whether the Republicans of Abraham Lincoln or the Democrats under the Daleys.
Old man Daley wouldn't go broke promoting common sense. And Abe Lincoln was all about common sense.
But now?
The state is bankrupt, the public schools are atrocious, taxpayers are fleeing to seek opportunity. And in many areas, particularly wealthy suburbs like Deerfield, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Western Springs and other such towns they are governed by AWFLs (Angry White Female Leftists).
And there is nothing more awful than the AWFLs.
You may have heard their sisters screaming in self-righteous rage at Jewish students during pro-Hamas protests at American universities.
From the river to the sea…
What happened to the men in those suburbs, the fathers?
They're afraid. Afraid of the AWFLs. Afraid of saying one thing that would anger them, and cost them social status in their leafy suburbs that once sported those Hate Has No Home Here signs on the front lawn.
Or they're in hiding.
In the wealthy suburbs the men (or the male impersonators who married those women) say little, lest they incur the wrath of the AWFLs.
These are corporate towns, and men in such towns are corporate types.
And in corporate suburban towns, whether in Loudon County, Virginia or Beverly Hills, California, or Martha's Vineyard there is but one religion:
Social status.
And they would sacrifice anything to protect their social status.
Anything.
They would have their own sons castrated to protect their status. Perhaps they wonder why religious fundamentalists hate them so. Does it matter?
It was the Christian moralist C.S. Lewis, in "The Abolition of Man" who years ago mentioned something we should all consider today when wrestling with the idea of this silencing of parents and the castration or sterilization of little children.
The ones afraid to risk their social status by protecting their children from the ghouls of government schools who would castrate or sterilize young children.
They are the Men Without Chests.
"We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst," wrote Lewis.
Some time ago after listening to Proft and while editing another column on this state of Illinois sanctioned child abuse, I quoted Helen Joyce, the journalist who was speaking about why it is so difficult for parents to move on after they've done what they've done.
Once they've done what they've done to their own minor children, there is no going back for them.
And I think her words are particularly apt today.
JOYCE: "Something you may not have thought of is that there are a lot of people who can't move on from this. And that's the people who have transitioned their own children.
So those people are going to be like the Japanese soldiers who were on Pacific islands and didn't know the war was over. They've got to fight forever. This is another reason why this is the worst, worst, worst social contagion that we'll ever have experienced.
"A lot of people have done what is the worst thing you could do, which is to harm their children irrevocably, because of it. Those people will have to believe that they did the right thing for the rest of their lives, for their own sanity, and for their own self-respect. So, they'll still be fighting, and each one of those people destroys entire organizations and entire friendship groups.
"Like, I've lost count of the number of times that somebody has said to me of a specific organization that has been turned upside down on this, "Oh, the deputy director has a trans child." Or, oh, the journalist on that paper who does special investigations has a trans child. Or whatever."
"So those people are going to be the people who will keep this bloody movement going, I'm sorry to say, because they've everything to lose, and it is a fight to the death as far as they are concerned."
What is required is for the activists to stop screaming and bullying that child, and all children and put their psycho-sexual politics aside. They might do us all a favor and eat their guilt and shame.
Just look at Pritzker. Politicians who promote the castration of children–and experiments I thought was once left to the demon once called Josef Mengele–are creatures I really don't want to think about now. This is Lent. And they will have an eternity to contemplate their sins. And their cruelty to little children who are just too young to understand what adults–including their parents and teachers–are doing to them.
There are many long days of Lent, which are best spent praying and fasting, and avoiding blood curdling anger. As a Greek Orthodox Christian I think of our Jesus prayer at times like this to protect my soul from anger:
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"
And I think of our Lord who loved all the children. And those who didn't love them were warned of their fate in the Bible:
"It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."
Protect them oh Lord.
Please protect the little ones.
