Albemarle County | School allowing MAGA activist to speak on gender ideology

Albemarle County Public Schools is allowing a proto-conservative activist to speak to a MAGA student club at Western Albemarle High School at lunch on Wednesday on the topic of “Two Genders, One Truth.”

The presentation will be made by Victoria Cobb, the president of the Richmond-based Family Foundation of Virginia, which uses its platform to fight the “false ideology of transgenderism in our schools and workplace,” opposes making “sexual behavior” – its antiquated term for sexual orientation” – a “protected class, of course is aligned with the those who view reproductive freedom as being entirely about “unlimited abortion,” and somehow doesn’t see any inconsistency with any of this and its push for “religious freedom.”

Cobb will speak with the school’s Turning Point USA club, because of course that’s who would invite her.

And you know what: we should all be OK with it.

Western Albemarle, after all, allows a weekly lunchtime meeting of a school-based Gender and Sexualities Alliance club.

If the tradeoff to being able to have the GSA on campus is allowing the Future Neanderthals of America to spend their lunch break dragging their knuckles and breathing through their mouths, so be it.

“Really, this about the students,” Cobb said in an appearance on “The Schilling Show” on WINA, the MAGA Charlottesville radio station that is also the flagship station of UVA Athletics, on Monday.

“This is about their right to convene, to have speakers they find educational,” said Cobb, who has been the president of the Family Foundation of Virginia for 20 years – i.e., since back when it still wielded some influence in Virginia politics.

These kinds of things aren’t about actual education anyway.

The kinds of kids who would join a Turning Point USA chapter are already what they are.

Their goal here is to make a show of what they are.

It’s better for all involved to know where we all stand.
