NEW: A school administrator in Southlake, Texas, advised teachers last week that if they have a book about the Holocaust in their classroom, they should also have a book with an "opposing" perspective.

Listen to the audio recording obtained by @NBCNews: https://t.co/vS0IjlROMu pic.twitter.com/yPtM1ncjgV
— NBC News (@NBCNews) October 14, 2021

It came four days after the Carroll school board, responding to a parent's complaint, voted to reprimand a teacher who had an anti-racism book in her classroom.

In the recording, Ms Peddy told staff to "remember the concepts" of a new state law that requires teachers to present different points of view when discussing "widely debated and currently controversial" issues.

Miami School Tells Parents to Keep Vaccinated Kids at Home

Earlier this year, Centner Academy in Miami said that it would not allow teachers vaccinated against COVID-19 in its classrooms, citing the "vaccine-shedding" myth as the main reason. Now, the private institution -- whose classrooms currently range from preschool to middle school -- is telling parents of vaccinated students to keep their children at home.

Centner students who received a COVID vaccine now must adhere to a "mandatory quarantine period" of "30 days after each dose," Newsweek reported.

A letter sent to parents also urged them to "hold off until summer" on any plans to have their children get a shot, Newsweek added, citing local outlet WSVN.

"Because of the potential impact on other students and our school community, vaccinated students will need to stay at home for 30 days post-vaccination for each dose and booster they receive and may return to school after 30 days as long as the student is healthy and symptom-free," the letter stated, according to WSVN.

The letter appeared to allude to prior misinformation the school cited, even though COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective. WSVN reported that Centner Academy's reason for issuing the letter was to -- in the school's words -- allow "time for the potential transmission or shedding onto others to decrease."

"What happens 30 days after they get vaccinated?" Aileen Marty, MD, an infectious disease expert at Florida International University in Miami, said to WSVN. "What kind of nonsense is this? Where did they get that? There's nothing in the recommendations to that ... they made that up. That's science fiction, not even science fiction, because it's pure fiction."

The "vaccine-shedding" myth involves the belief that vaccinated people can shed the spike protein, causing menstrual cycle irregularities, miscarriages, and sterility in other women in close proximity. However, experts have repeatedly denied these claims.

Centner Academy did not immediately provide a copy of the letter detailing the mandate to MedPage Today. The school also did not respond to a request for comment on why it's requiring students vaccinated against COVID-19 to stay at home for 30 days.

Blame it all on "Avenue Q", what with songs like "The Internet is for Porn", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist", and scenes like this —


(although I saw two separate on-stage touring productions of the show and enjoyed the hell out of it, so I guess I've been corrupted and perverted by those porno overlords at the Children's Television Workshop too)

QAnon Influencer Who Accuses Democrats of Being Pedophiles Is Identified as Convicted Child Molester Designated as ‘Sexually Violent Offender’

A QAnon influencer who accuses Democratic Party politicians of being pedophiles has been identified in two reports as a registered child sex offender. David Todeschini, 70, goes by the name of “David Trent” online where his thousands of fans listen to him opine on any number of conspiracy theories related to the broader QAnon movement.

“Why this country hasn’t risen up and hung these bastards by now is beyond me,” Todeschini said in a September video complaining about federal vaccine mandates. “These treasonous rat bastards need to be taken out of Washington, D.C. I say get all the children out and nuke it.”

According to RightWingWatch, a project of People for the American Way, the title of that video describes President Joe Biden as a “Cho-mo,” which, the outlet says, is “prison slang for a pedophile.” RightWingWatch first reported that David Todeschini was the real name behind the pseudonym David Trent.

According to VICE News, Todeschini also subscribes to the so-called “frazzledrip” conspiracy theory, a particularly violent piece of political fan-fiction assumed to be real by adherents which alleges that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been captured on video sexually abusing and torturing a young girl with a trusted longtime aide before using the child’s blood in a ritualistic fashion.

“This is proven beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty with physical, undeniable, irrefutable evidence,” he told the outlet, failing to provide any such evidence or proof.

There is, however, a public record of one David Todeschini’s own child abuse.

On May 19, 1999, the QAnon adherent and influencer was convicted of one count each of sexual abuse in the first degree and sodomy in the second degree for coercing an 8-year-old boy into sexual activity in 1996. He was given a sentence of 28 months to seven years in state prison. The convicted child molester ultimately served a five-year sentence. Todeschini had no known prior relationship with his victim.

According to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, the conspiracy theorist is considered a Level 3 threat, which is defined as a “high risk of repeat offense and a threat to public safety.”

He is also considered to a be a “Sexually Violent Offender” in New York.

The website also offers details of his conviction and the sexual assault thats he committed against the child on Aug. 10, 1996:
Actual, Sexual Intercourse
Actual, Deviate Sexual Intercourse
Actual, Sexual Contact
Actual, Promoting/Possessing Sexual Performance by a Child
Todeschini reportedly confirmed his alias in an interview with VICE and told the outlet that he planned to sue RightWingWatch for their original story—but did not cite an inaccuracy when asked to do so. Per VICE:
Todeschini confirmed that he used the alias David Trent in a phone interview with VICE News on Thursday morning.

Todeschini said he was planning on suing Right Wing Watch for publishing the investigation, but when asked what was inaccurate about the account, he failed to respond.
Kristen Doerer, the author of the original story and managing editor for RightWingWatch, recently retweeted VICE’s story about Todeschini, highlighting his litigation threat:From Doerer’s original report:
Todeschini can easily be identified as his alias with a quick visual comparison of “David Trent” on the “Inglorious Patriots” BitChute program to Todeschini’s 2019 mugshot from the New York sex offender registry and his 2020 mugshot from the North Carolina sex offender registry. Todeschini’s alias is hardly hidden—RWW was able to cross-reference multiple social media accounts to determine they are operated by the same person. Numerous aspects of Todeschini’s LinkedIn page match his Facebook page, which he operates under the Trent alias, including claiming to have worked for IBM and served in the U.S. Air Force, his love for his Jeep Wrangler, and having studied at RCA Institutes. His LinkedIn page also advertises his Net4Truth website. The ’97 Jeep Wrangler description on his LinkedIn page matches the vehicle description provided on the New York sex offender registry, and his BitChute channel also advertises his Facebook page. On numerous social media pages, he touts being a Vietnam war veteran.
Todeschini is not currently under community supervision in New York State, but officials there said that aliases are supposed to be registered with the sex offender registry. He currently lives in North Carolina where he is a property manager in addition to his conspiracy theory-focused content creation activities.

Todeschini reportedly cast himself as a victim of the “deep state” who did what former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn did, telling VICE he “pled guilty to a crime that he didn’t commit.”

And to some of course this is just further proof that the deep state will make up anything to discredit this guy who is in fact a pillar of his community and an exemplar of all things that are good and wholesome: simply a righteous babe. The guy loves his Jeep! I'd like to know what model it is. I bet he's from the Gym Jordan wing of politics, so it's a Wrangler.

You mean that cancer is not contagious?
Problem is, she probably believes that you CAN contract cancer from someone else!!
(and with all the hubbub people made about second-hand cigarette smoke as well as exposure to things as varied as talcum powder, herbicide, or asbestos fibers and their connection to cancer, I can see how someone might get that impression)

There was an idiot on her Twitter feed trying to defend by saying that, because cancer has been shown to run in families, she was correct in saying that cancer is contagious. That's the level of stupidity that Greene and politicians like her are encouraging to thrive.
