The case covers a parent’s constitutional right to opt their child out of certain classroom materials on the First Amendment grounds that they conflict with his religious beliefs.
The Boston federal judge, F. Dennis Saylor IV, last year granted a preliminary injunction for the “devout Christian” father, Alan L., whose 5-year-old son J.L. attends kindergarten in Lexington.
So this Christian Massachusetts father of a 5 y/o boy initially was granted an injunction based on 1A & religious beliefs to shield his son from alphabet mafia BS at his public school. ...
The judge ordered that the school district and Joseph Estabrook Elementary School “make reasonable efforts to ensure that J.L. is not taught or otherwise exposed to all Other LGBTQ+ Educational Materials identified by plaintiff, whether in the classroom or any other school setting.”
As part of that ruling, the father needed to list all of the books that he wanted his son kept away from.
The school district in response argued that two books should not be listed under LGBTQ educational materials, and the judge this week ruled in support of the district.
So the judge first made the father do the heavy lifting of creating a list of ALL the subsversive books he wanted his boy to be excluded from.
The father does the work, making a list of dozens of such books. The public school board then wastes taxpayer dollars objecting that 2 books on the list shouldn't count, because the gender confusion agitprop is only subtle. They appeal that 2 of their preferred books should be taken off the list and taught to the 5 y/o boy under duress.
The judge agrees, stating that the two books can be taught without consent despite protest. That religious freedom & the 1A can be applied as narrowly as they wish, that the public teachers can curate the gay race communism exclusion list and that parental protest can be overridden by word games.
“Accordingly… defendants are not required to provide an opportunity for plaintiff to opt his child out of classroom instruction using the books Pink Is For Boys by Robb Pearlman and Except When They Don’t by Laura Gehl,” the judge wrote.
Pink Is For Boys features a series of pages that state a given color — “pink,” “blue,” “yellow,” “green,” “red,” “purple,” “brown,” “black,” and “white” — “is for girls. And boys.” The pages have images of a girl and boy taking part in the same activity — playing baseball, running in a forest, and setting up a popsicle stand.
Except When They Don’t features illustrations of young boys and girls taking part in stereotypically gender-appropriate activities, such as “Boys play monster trucks with glee. Girls bake cakes and serve hot tea. Girls like pom-poms, pink, and jewels. Boys like fighting pirate duels.” Then, after listing several similar activities, there’s a page that reads, “Except when they don’t,” with an illustration of a boy or girl doing what’s stereotypically considered the opposite gender’s preferred activity.
...
The attorneys representing Lexington Public Schools said this ruling shows that parents “do not have carte blanche when seeking opt-outs for religious reasons.”
...
“The LGBTQ+ acronym is inherently vague and, as a result, subject to overly broad interpretation by objectors like the parent in this case.
“The judge’s decision underscores the fact that opt-out requests need only be granted when the identified materials directly conflict with parents’ stated beliefs,” the lawyers added.
...
The Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center has been representing the father.
“This lawsuit has forced LPS to opt our client’s child out of over a dozen books that clearly violate his religious beliefs on sexuality and gender identity,” said Sam Whiting, counsel at Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center.
The judge, F. Dennis Saylor IV, according to his Wiki,
- was appointed by George W Bush
- as a private attorney, apparently defended US corps for smuggling in Chicom parts
- worked under Robert Mueller in the 90s
- sat on the FISA court for 7 years, ending in 2018
It happens constantly up here with NPCs bleating that Leafland doesn't have "Freedom of Speech", but instead "Freedom of Expression".
Oh, thanks for clarifying that irrelevant nuance, commie faggot!
And Charlie Kirk was very weak sauce in terms of being a brave RWer.
TIL PC Gamer still exists 30 years later.
And apparently is writing scary articles about the surveillance state panopticon.
But only from a Peter Theil/Palantir/Orange Man Bad/ICE-blackbagging-our-pet-illegals angle.
It's still very unclear why he suddenly quit the show a year ago and mostly DFE.
- A commenter from the YT announcement claims he was so broke he had to go back and get a wagie job. But no receipts
- Another commenter claims he was kicked off the pod because he was clowning around too much with humor when they wanted a more serious vibe. And disappeared because he had a Non Compete clause. This one seems less probable since the pod was fairly small & amateurish. I also believe Dave Reilly & Vince James were IRL friends. Early on in the podcast's run, they took several trips to Chicago together and shared pics on the show.
- Last fall, I, Hypocrite (aka LP/Lyndon Perry) traveled to Idaho to be an in-studio guest long after Vince quit. He returned to his own pod the following week, claiming there was a juicy story to James quitting but couldn't share. He also said Dave & Rebecca were encouraging him to move to Idaho to replace Vince as a permanent host.
- I, Hypocrite addressed the breakup of The Backlash pod again on his own Thurs episode of The Daily Cope this week. He mentioned that he's been in contact with Blonde by text regularly over the last little while. Apparently he was actually going to guest host remotely from WA on The Backlash next week to help mend the fences between the hosts. That's why he was so surprised to see the cancelation post. He'd gone so far to tell his wife that he was guest hosting this coming week.
- LP read between the lines re: the cancelation notice from Wed night that stated the pod was continuing despite being down 3 hosts and only Reilly left, speculating that Vince James was returning again now that Blonde & Camerom MacGregor were leaving. Blonde called into I, Hypocrite's Thurs show covering the cancelation. She neither confirmed nor denied anything, said repeatedly that there was no drama and everyone left things on good terms. And was personally excited to return to solo YT content on her channel. She glazed Cameron a lot but didn't really mention Reilly or Vince James at all.
I thought this was going to be about another Xbox Game Pass Ultimate price increase.
Some archives for posterity
Blonde confirming that she "isn't going anywhere", planning to continue as a content creator in the wignat space.
Dave Reilly commenting that he plans to continue The Backlash branding despite being the only one left standing. He also implies he's looking to bring on new co-hosts.
Oh, The Backlash isn’t over yet!
Dave... You looking for a new co-host?
Vincent James apparently quit politics/political commentary to run a moderately successful YT channel about his middle school-aged son's baseball training escapades.
Nick just throws out so many random, bad & ever-changing takes that one can't really take any of them too seriously.
The Newsom cope was mostly because Gavin has a beautiful lily-white family despite being a commie sociopath. While JD Vance is a fat retard Manchurian candidate controlled by Silicon Valley & the CIA. Who destroyed his White bloodline by marrying a jeet & shitting out little Viveks.
There's some logic to the Newsom meme if one actually believes in wignat principles.
The problem is that Nick actually has no principles or logical consistency. This week he's carrying water for Bad Bunny & declaring how proud he is to be Mexican while shitting on Whites for being cringe & boring.
Just a random site showing the real name & some ugly pics & vids of the murderous troon.
Edit: The reliability of these pics might be sus. The "Internet Princess" one seems to in fact be from Vrillium Live's crossdresser leak awhile back.
Wish I had something more official. Predictably all the Leaf MSM links I checked are hiding photos & playing pronoun games.
Maybe that's the one I'm thinking of. Thanks.
I feel like he's just one of those very infrequent X users who only posts every few months. And only makes a couple of YT vids a year.
The last I heard of Leather Apron Guy, he was announcing the launch of his Jew database where one could look any celebrity up to see if they were Jew or Gentile as an in-house Early Life check. He was also doing analyses that Joe Rogan had a very disproportionate number of tribe members as guests.
TBH, Leather Apron Guy was fairly unimpressive with his interview with Blonde IIRC. He was fairly soft-spoken and lacked confidence. I think his disposition probably plays better in scripted video settings.
Her solo interview channel, while neglected & erratic, was also a great introduction into a "Who's who?" of dissident right voices.
Her looks got her interviews with lots of dudes in the space - Gavin McInnes, Owen Benjamin, Edward Dutton, Devon Stack, Black Pigeon Speaks, Leather Apron Guy, Gypsy Crusader, etc.
And as you implied, her good looks & cheery demeanor helped to soften the introduction of some of these "radical" views to her audience.
but at least Matt was a good newsfeed
I do kind of miss his curation of RW-relevant news stories. Particularly in a time that I wasn't on Twitter.
While admittedly I don't watch his show anymore, his format & content are really like going back in time to 2016 & Trump 1.0.
Like Blonde, Emily remains distractingly gorgeous at an age where she should've already hit the wall.
I think she subs in on her husband Warren Balogh's Warstrike JQ show on occasion (or at least before Striker joined as co--host). Her husband is a strange dude. Apparently he's been quoted in the past about being proud of milking the government out of welfare dollars ideologically as an able-bodied White man.
He also does a rambling weekly show about JQ stuff that runs like 8 hours straight. He simulcasts it on YT, but deletes the VOD before it can get struck.
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night Sat morning, and Emily's husband is still reading superchats at 5 am. Despite the fact that they live in PA.
TBF to Matt, it did seem that their partnership was doomed to come to an end soon anyhow, simply due to the growing chasm in their political differences. And Matt's desire for such tight editorial control, considering it "his show" at the end despite their decade of work together.
It was really his behavior with his crashout at the end of their partnershuo & some of Rebecca's revelations afterwards that made me turn against him. If he had just said nothing after Blonde's farewell announcement, I probably would've stopped watching (I mostly had anyway by that point), but wouldn't have thought much about him otherwise.
I don't really blame Christiansen for accepting the sus Lauren Chen Russian money deal either. Lauren Chen was mostly thought of on the up&up at that point. And it was 12k/mth, 144k/yr for two weekly videos & one 1-hour livestream that Matt was doing anyways. Blonde later revealed after the breakup that most years the show was grossing less than 60k between them IIRC. Meaning Matt was trying to raise a family on poverty earnings around 30k.
Matt's hubris was moving out of his dead brother Wade's old house to buy a million dollar Montana McMansion that he couldn't afford, assuming the 144k Russkie cheques would forever roll in.
And does an awful, very unconvincing job of it.
Agreed.
Her Rolodex of alt right figures she was able to platform was pretty impressive when she actually got around to it, lol.
One of my enduring memories was when she interviewed Gavin McInnes live. And he big-timed her by taking a call from a contractor mid-interview.
From the old 2024 thread, a Ghost Archive of Matt's rabbi wedding photo
Obviously some editorialization on my part re: Christiansen, as I'm still Team Blonde in 2026. TBH, I haven't watched a solo Matt show since the split in 2024. I do occasionally lurk his comments though.
I turned against Matt because I thought he handled the split horribly. From the original callousness about her seeking medical care for her foot injury, to his "non ultimatum" ultimatum declaring he was cutting her pay unilaterally from 50/50 to 60/40 after all their years of their partnership. To him sperging out about her disloyalty in her very milquetoast departure announcement tweet. To the final episode in poor taste where he platformed their former audience to shit on her for 3 hours straight in absentia. And possibly most egregiously, the cropped/edited DMs that he posted publicly during the cope stream that Blonde claims were altered to make Matt look better by leaving out key replies.
I'm not sure how much Matt's wife played in the breakup of the OG show. Her Jewish heritage certainly caused friction on its own as Blonde became more JQ-critical in her politics. And Matt seemingly didn't want to allow that editorial commentary on the show, presumably to protect his wife. The fact that he purposely hid his wife's ethnicity from the audience showed that it was a sore point.
As a former listener to the show, I think the 2024 allegations from Blonde after the acrimony over the end of the show, that Rebecca implied that Matt's wife was jealous & controlling of their professional partnership, came as quite a shock. There was a mention over concern over indecency & BFing her infants off camera. And other anecdotes about Matt's wife killing the possibility of the two families meeting in person for a group camping trip over jealousy and wanting to avoid any IRL interactions (apparently Matt & Blonde only ever met IRL twice over the decade-long run of the show).
Some of the shock over the friction between Matt's wife & Blonde was because Blonde really played up the friendly relationship she had with "Ping2" on air over the years of the show. Which apparently was completely fake & performative.
Yeah, the Beauty Salon section of KF is a good example that a site is not necessarily RW simply because it's permitted to openly mock troons & say "nigger".
The Beauty Salon section of the site is essentially a containment area for TERF refugees who have been run off of clearnet by deranged trannies.
Why are you upset that your betters are satanic pedophiles that we won't indict? Their stock portfolios are at record highs !!!
Yeah, he looked like the troon Wojak IRL.
Even then, you still have the OG Jordan Peterson viral problem of compelled speech & having narcissistic breakdowns as you force all the members of the public around you to participate in your delusion.
I'd definitely call KIA2 "right wing". It's one of the main reasons why I still pop in here years later after leaving Reddit for the lifeboat. And long after any of the Gamergate stuff has any relevance. Places like this are so few.
If not RW, what would you label the .win version of KIA2?
I suppose there's been some obfuscation between RW spaces & places that still allow gamer words & Internet 1.0 free speech. The rest of the corporate clearnet is so pozzed & heavily moderated that it's really only RW spaces left standing.
Another example would be Kiwifarms. It's not explicitly RW, but it really has drifted that way due to their sitewide troon hate & general mocking of wokeness. The site itself has different political subcultures depending on what subforum you are in. But the site would most likely be labeled RW as well in 2026 because of all the refugees that end up there, the ability to use gamer words & the fact that the site's enemies & lolcows are mostly so leftist & unhinged.
It's amazing that Michael Moore has been able to ride the coattails of a few shitty late 90s documentaries for 3 decades later with doing fuck all afterwards.
