Vermont news outlet blacklists its own story to protect the queer agenda at a local school
WCAX: A modern news outlet, dedicated to censorship
Today’s blacklist story is a follow-up on an earlier blacklist story. In September officials running Randolph High School in Vermont banned all the girls from the school’s volley ball team from the girls locker room, so that a cross-dressing boy would have that girls dressing room all to himself.
At the time I noted how this action by the school was “so absurd that at first glance it is hard to believe.”
Well, the story has become even more absurd. The news outlet that first reported the story, WCAX-TV, decided in mid-October to blacklist its own story in order to protect and promote the queer agenda in the local schools.
But [on October 11th], links to the controversial story and a recording of the newscast from that night went instead to a page that read “404/Not Found.” When … asked about the missing content, WCAX news director Roger Garrity said the station took it down last week “to prevent others from using our reporting to attack people in the transgender community.
“We didn’t announce it then for fear it might further inflame the situation,” Garrity wrote in an email. “We are now working with LGBTQ advocates on a message to the community acknowledging the harm that was caused.” In response to follow-up questions, Garrity said the station was working with Outright Vermont and GLAAD to craft its message and would put it on the 6 p.m. newscast “as soon as we have it ready to go.”
As noted, the link to the original WCAX story now results in a “404/Page not found” error. However, you can still watch it here on the Way Back machine internet archive.
The news station explained that after its video story broke and was picked up by many conservative outlets, the mother of the cross-dressing boy complained, claiming that the boy has done nothing wrong, and that the station’s coverage had caused her son pain. Her son noted how hurt he was.
“News is meant to inform but all you have done is enable lies that not only hurt me, but hurt the transgender youth [boys in girl’s clothing] that are within Randolph and Vermont,” the transgender student [more accurately a cross-dressing boy] wrote.
Neither he nor his mother, nor the WCAX reporter, addressed the allegation by the girls that he had made an “inappropriate comment while members of the volleyball team were getting changed.” I guess its okay for him to make normal girls uncomfortable, but god forbid anyone challenges him on his own abnormal behavior.
I must also add that for any news organization to use the term “transgender” illustrates its leftist agenda. The word does not inform, it specifically works instead to hide the fact that a boy has been granted the right to be in a girls locker room, so he can watch girls strip naked and he can also expose himself to them.
Note also that the boy is referred to as a “she” and as the mother’s “daughter” at the link. Both are outright lies, since this boy is still a boy, though dressed in girl’s clothing. News reporting should not cooperate with those who wish to push lies, and thus I refuse to play that game.
In fact, every news outlet which wants to be considered legitimate, as well as any blog or opinion site, should stop playing this game. Stop using the terms of the left. They are designed to obscure the truth while they force you into endorsing the left’s agenda.
Transgender equals cross-dresser. The transgender movement is simply the queer agenda, pushed in the schools. A boy cannot be called a “she” or a “daughter.” A man is not a woman. And “sexual transitioning” is nothing more than sexual mutilation and castration.
If you don’t call these things by what they really are, you are simply a quisling in left’s propaganda campaign to warp society and distort the truth.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.
Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95; Shipping cost for either: $5.00). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.

So apparently the job of the WCAX news department is not to actually report the news. Good to know.
A first for journalism! Retracting a story because it is true.
Vermont.
The East coast California. Great.
No father mentioned, the mother may have no idea after many nights drinking and waking with no memory.
So few “transgenders” actually become surgically altered that it should be required for single sex access areas: that would do more to put a stop to this nonsense.

The station (if it were really a news station) should republish and let them know they will need to express their complaint in the form of actual factual errors and a libel claim. Otherwise, they can just suck it up.

Very true.

“Bacteria is life on Mars, but a heartbeat isn’t life on earth?”
It all begins with mutual respect, some tolerance and flexibility IMO:
In my experience, and I have dealt with every size, shape, sexual orientation, skin color, attitude and flavor of human being on this planet up close and personal in my work for the past 30 years. And once you objectively get past the overt in *YOUR* face tattoos and the “crazy” presentation you usually (But not always ;) find a fairly rational and respectful human being underneath. (Which does not mean that you surrender your sanity and standards as those on the radical insane Left would insist on. Mutual respect does not require you surrendering your standards, sanity and patriotism)
That is my philosophy and has been my experience anyway.

Thank you for your reporting I grew up in Burlington and was once a very Proud Vermonter. The state was ruined the day Bernie won the mayor’s race in Burlington by 13 or so votes The city first then the state have been destroyed from within. So sad to say but very happy that I am now a very free and proud Floridian
And here is another try at unreporting
