Today’s blacklisted American: School district investigates three children for using wrong pronouns
What a Wisconsin school district apparently thinks of your kids.
They’re coming for you next: The Kiel school district in Wisconsin is now investigating three eighth grade children for daring to use the wrong pronouns. Worse, according to the evidence that the school itself presented, it appears the school and the investigating principal, Chad Ramminger, has been on a fishing expedition looking for any evidence it can find to punish the kids in question.
From the letter [pdf] sent to the school by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty:
During the interviews with our clients on April 26–27, Mr. Ramminger asked various questions, many of which were unrelated to the incidents described in the subsequently provided statement from the music teacher, suggesting a fishing expedition to find evidence of sexual harassment. And when one family considered
halting the interview to get a lawyer, Mr. Ramminger responded with something to effect of, “you could, but how would that look”? All of this leaves the impression that the District is weaponizing its Title IX process to strong-arm minor students into compliance with its preferred mode of speech. This is wrong and illegal.
The incident itself, as described by the parent of one of the kids, Rosemary Rabidoux, illustrates the tyrannical nature of the school and the girl trying to impose speech on others.
One of the alleged incidents Braden [Rabidoux] and the others were supposedly involved in happened in late April. “She had been screaming at one of Braden’s friends to use proper pronouns, calling him profanity, and this friend is very soft-spoken, and kind of just sunk down into his chair,” Rabidoux explained. “Braden finally came up, defending him, saying ‘He doesn’t have to use proper pronouns, it’s his constitutional right to not use, you can’t make him say things.’”
From this minor childish argument — in which 13-year-old Braden Rabidoux exhibited a remarkable and accurate understanding of freedom of speech — the school’s administrators decided that the full force of the federal government must be brought down on Braden and his two friends.
Beside the obvious fact that using the wrong pronouns violates no law and isn’t covered by Title IX, the Institute’s letter also noted that the school officials failed utterly to follow due process in instigating their investigation.
The parents and their lawyers should pursue this case hard, and if they can’t get this investigation dropped immediately and their kids records cleared should sue Ramminger and his colleagues, school superintendent Brad Ebert and counselor Megan Kautzer, for as much money as possible.
And regardless, all three parents should remove their kids from this public school now, regardless of whether the investigation is dropped. The school’s teachers and administrators have not only shown that they are personally hostile to their children, they have revealed their warped belief that the children under their care don’t have freedom of speech, while showing that they intend to indoctrinate the kids in the modern sexual perversions being pushed by the left. Why subject your children to this ugliness?

“you could, but how would that look”?
Well, it would like big trouble for the school. That is a statement of fear, not a threat. Folks should recognize that Goverment is in full CYA mode, and realizes that the best defense is an offensive offense. This is exploitable, and the People need to really pile on.
Home schooling coops are growing rapidly.
Don’t think of them as educators. Think of them as groomers.
Meanwhile in Hollywood…

Yet so many can’t see the bread crumbs before them… Hollywood is no more.. No new films are coming out of their either.. Netflix is having to dub foreign films to keep new content coming… Hollywood’s pedo ring is in freefall. Humanity wins

It’s not so much that things are getting worse. Things are getting exposed.
James-
absolutely.
going broader here–
One thing we all should remember about Wisconsin–(the elitists that actually run the place, as opposed to the ordinary people who pay for everything) they have a long (long)history of Progressivism, through-and-through. They might be geographically in the “Midwest,” but they want to be California.
(It’s not all dairy-cows & cheese, as this incident blatantly illustrates.)

“..you can’t make him say things.”
Those who do not learn history unfortunately includes these ‘teachers’ .
Onr thing they did not learn: West Virginia Board of Education v Barnette, 1943 (SCOTUS)
Regardless of the school dropping its “investigation”, the parents should sue both the school and the individuals involved. These school authorities and the institution they represent are nothing more than bullies. If they are not made to feel pain (financial), they will just target another student who they believe will be a softer target.
