âThey actually believe that all children are intrinsically queer, and that whatâs happening is that normal society is âsocializingâ them, which is a fancy word for âbrainwashing' them, to be normal, which meansâfor themânot queer, where queer is a political stance.â
In this episode, I sit down with James Lindsay and Logan Lansing to discuss their new book, âThe Queering of the American Child: How a New School Religious Cult Poisons the Minds and Bodies of Normal Kids.â
âIt took me less than one minute to find a whole suite of furry literature about children adopting âfursonas,â or furry personas, and identifying not as human, explicitly underwritten by queer theory in the doctrine,â says Mr. Lancing.
What is queer theory? Who are its biggest proponents? And what practical impact has it had on Americaâs youth, our institutions, and society at large?
âWhat they define for a pedagogy right from the beginning in 1993, was a radical form of educative activism, implemented deliberately to interfere with, to intervene in the production of normalcy in school subjects, which is just technical gobbledygook from queer theory. That means we are going to use critical pedagogy as a method and weâre going to make sure kids do not turn out normal,â says Mr. Lancing. âTheyâre going to turn out deviant, abnormal, perverseâwhatever it is that is positioned against the norm, that is the goal. And they laid that out. Right at the very beginning. They also added that their goal was to make it explicitly activist in nature, so there is no room for interpretation.â
âThere are no brakes on the train. Yesterdayâs radical is todayâs conservative. It has to keep moving towards the direction of completely dissolving normalcy, boundaries, and legitimacy. So, donât be surprised if it gets a bit crazier than even children biting other children while theyâre dressed as dogs and cats and wearing tails,â says Mr. Lancing.
âAnd it was meant to bring about what Paulo Freireâs vision was: a next generation, non-Soviet, Marxist revolution in the children, based off of an education system he derived from Mao Zedong, in his own words. What Mao had done in the 1950s successfully with children, he imported into his method,â says Mr. Lindsay. âBut, of course, we know that Mao used that in the mid-1960s as the basis to create his Red Guard that then went and did exactly what we see schoolchildren in America doing today. Can they read? Not really. Can they write? Not so much. How are they at math? Failing. However, they know to show up on the statehouse steps when thereâs some policy they donât like or when something happens, so that they can do a die-in or they can do some kind of show of activism.â
