'Right-wing Jerk' Glenn Rumored to Attend FWISD Transgender Meeting

May 09, 2016

Writer

Despite what you've heard about Texas being a stalwart conservative state, cities like Dallas and Fort Worth are hashing out the transgendered bathroom issue in schools.

The Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) was simply going to push through transgender bathrooms in schools, but conservatives in Texas went crazy after Superintendent Kent Scribner signed guidelines with new protections for transgender students.

"[Conservatives] were going to go to a school board meeting," Glenn said on radio Monday. "Everybody showed up. They took it off of the roster and said, 'No, we're not going to talk about this. We're going to rethink that.' That was the big thing that they were going to rethink --- that we're not doing it."

However, according to the Dallas Voice, the premier media source for LGBT issues in Texas, the Texas-based activist group Fairness Fort Worth is asking people to turn out tonight at a school board meeting to discuss the issue.

"Fairness Fort Worth president David MacHenderson who praised the guidelines as an excellent template for other schools seeking a reasonable solution to the issue, warned that . . . the new guidelines are under attack by the most virulent of conservatives," Pat read from the Dallas Voice.

The publication also reported another interesting tidbit.

"It is rumored that right-wing commentator and radio host -- and I might add hatemonger -- Glenn Beck will be attending the meeting, bringing with him a host of Tea Party activists to speak against the guidelines," Pat said.

Well, that's news to Glenn.

"So the rumor really comes from them," Glenn said. "I'm not going to be at this meeting. I might be now. Now I might be. I hear it's exciting when he shows up," Glenn joked.

Fort Worth Independent School District Superintendent Kent Scribner announced April 26 that he had signed a set of detailed guidelines designed to protect transgender students by clarifying the district’s existing anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies.

Listen to this segment beginning around mark 1:00 from The Glenn Beck Program:

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: Dallas/Fort Worth is going through the transgendered bathrooms in schools. They were just going to put it through. The conservatives here in Texas went crazy. They were going to go to a school board meeting. Everybody showed up. They took it off of the roster and said, "No, we're not going to talk about this. We're going to rethink that." That was the big thing that they were going to rethink, that we're not doing it.

Now they're having a big meeting. Is it tonight? In Fort Worth?

PAT: Yes.

GLENN: School board -- the Fort Worth independent school board is having a meeting tonight. And the only reason --

PAT: No, it's Tuesday night.

GLENN: Tuesday night.

PAT: Tomorrow night.

GLENN: The only reason why I found out about this is because Pat brings this in today. And read it.

PAT: Fairness Fort Worth is asking as many people as possible to turn out for the Tuesday night May 10th meeting for the Forth Worth Independent School District board meeting to show support for the new guidelines on transgender issues, recently signed by superintendent Kent HEP Scrivener. Those attending in support of the guidelines are asked to wear red shirts.

JEFFY: Oh, good.

PAT: What should we wear if we don't support?

GLENN: No shirts.

PAT: FFW -- that's Fairness Fort Worth -- president David MacHenderson HEP who praised the guidelines as an excellent template for other schools seeking a reasonable solution to the issue, warned that Scrivener HEP and the new guidelines are under attack by the most virulent of conservatives.

GLENN: Oh, boy.

PAT: He said, it is rumored that right-wing commentator and radio host -- and I might add hatemonger -- Glenn Beck will be attending the meeting, bringing with him a host of Tea Party activists to speak against the guidelines.

GLENN: Now, where is this being posted?

PAT: This is in the DallasVoice.com, which is the premier HEP media source for LGBT Texas. Okay?

GLENN: Okay. So the rumor really comes from them.

PAT: It comes directly from them because nobody has ever said you were going to be at this meeting.

GLENN: I'm not going to be at this meeting. I might be now. Now I might be. I hear it's exciting when he shows up.

PAT: I know. I know. Now you should be.

And then you flip the page, and it's got a nice picture of you, with the caption, "Right-wing jerk Glenn Beck."

(laughter)

GLENN: I like that.

JEFFY: Man, this paper must be famous for telling the truth.

GLENN: I like that. Right-wing jerk, Glenn Beck. That is nice.

PAT: That's nice. Some trustees and citizens said, they'd like to hear an open discussion. We've planned responses.

JEFFY: Uh-huh.

PAT: We've planned a response that does just that, by educating this is not a protest, but a thank you that we're eager to deliver.

GLENN: Right. Right-wing jerk.

PAT: Right.

JEFFY: An honest conversation.

GLENN: We just want this to be an equal and honest conversation. Right-wing jerk will be there.

PAT: Plus, so dishonest to say that you're rumored to be there, when it is they who are starting the rumor because there was never even -- there was never a suggestion you were going to be there.

GLENN: I didn't even know --

STU: Have you even heard of this before?

PAT: We didn't even know about it.

GLENN: I hadn't heard of it. Didn't know about it.

PAT: We didn't even know about this going on in Fort Worth.

GLENN: No this is something Pat has been watching for in his district. And we've been talking about it in our district.

PAT: Yes.

JEFFY: But this is Fort Worth, man. Coming home to roost.

GLENN: Oh, no. Fort Worth -- Dallas is very liberal. Fort Worth is still a little bit conservative.

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: Well, Dallas proper is liberal, just like all big cities are.

GLENN: Yeah, big cities.

JEFFY: Right.

PAT: But when you get out into the suburbs, it's really conservative.

GLENN: They'll have that changed in no time.

PAT: They will. They will. They're working on it. Yeah.

GLENN: They'll have that changed in no time.

Trump's education secretary has BIG plans for the DoE

Our education system is broken, and the Department of Education is a massive failure. But that all ends now.

It's no secret that America's school system is seriously lacking in many ways. President Trump pointed out that despite our massive spending per pupil, we are behind most of the developed world in most metrics. Our scores continue to plummet while our student debt and spending skyrocket—it's utterly unacceptable performance and America's students deserve better.

That's where Linda McMahon, Trump's pick for Secretary of Education comes in.

The former WWE CEO and leader of the U.S. Small Business Administration during Trump's first term, McMahon laid out her harsh criticisms of the DoE during a confirmation hearing on the 13th and revealed her promising plans to turn things around. McMahon described the public education system as "in decline" and promised that under her authority, the DoE would be reoriented towards student success.

Here are the top three changes to the Department of Education:

1. Dismantling the Department of Education

From the beginning Trump's orders for McMahon were clear: oversee the end of the Department of Education.

During her Thursday hearing, McMahon clarified what dismantling the DoE would entail. As Democrats have repeatedly pointed out, Trump does not have the authority to destroy the DoE without Congressional consent, as an act of Congress created it. That is why Trump and McMahon's plan is to start by shutting down programs that can be stopped by executive action, then approach Congress with a plan to dismantle the Department for good. The executive orders have already begun to take effect, and once McMahon is confirmed she will author a plan for Congress to close the Department.

McMahon also promised that the end of the Department of Education does not mean an end to all the programs currently undertaken by the doomed department. Programs that are deemed beneficial will be transferred (along with their funding) to departments that are more suited to the task. The example given by McMahon was IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) funding, which instead of being cut would be transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services.

2. School Choice

In a huge win for parents across the country, McMahon pledged her support for School Choice. School Choice is the idea of allowing parents to enroll their student in any school of their choice, including religious schools and private schools. It would also mean that part or all of the funding that would have gone to a relocated child would follow them and continue to pay for their education.

This gives parents the ability to remove their children from failing schools and seek a better education for them elsewhere. A growing body of evidence suggests that the way we run our schools isn't working, and it is time to try something new. School Choice opens up education to the free market and will allow for competition.

Our children deserve better than what we can currently offer them.

3. COVID and DEI

Trump's government-wide crackdown on DEI will ironically serve to increase inclusion in many American schools.

McMahon said as much during her Senate hearing: “It was put in place ostensibly for more diversity, for equity and inclusion. And I think what we’re seeing is, it is having an opposite effect. We are getting back to more segregating of our schools instead of having more inclusion in our schools.” She also spoke in support of Title IX, and the push to remove biological males from women's and girl's sports. In the same vein, McMahon pledged to push back against the rise of antisemitism on college campuses, which many Universities have failed to adequately address.

On Friday, February 14th, President Trump signed an executive order barring any school or university with COVID-19 vaccine mandates from receiving federal money. This only applies to the COVID-19 vaccine, and other vaccine mandates are still standing.

POLL: What DARK government secrets will Trump uncover?

Will the dark secrets of the Deep State finally see the light of day? Or will they slip back into darkness, as they have many times before?

The Trump administration is gearing up to fulfill one of Trump's most anticipated campaign promises: to make the contents of the JFK files, along with other Deep State secrets, available to the public. Kash Patel, who has promised to publicize the highly anticipated files, is expected to be confirmed next week as Trump's director of the FBI. Moreover, the House Oversight Committee created a new task force headed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets," which is tasked with investigating and declassifying information on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, UFOs, the Epstein list, COVID's origins, and 9/11. This all comes after the FBI found 2,400 "new" records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy following Trump's executive order to release the files.

Glenn discussed this topic with the cast of the Patrick Bet David podcast. Glenn expressed his confidence in Trump's radical transparency—on the condition that Kash Patel is confirmed. The cast was not as optimistic, expressing some doubt about whether Trump will actually unveil all that he has promised. But what do you think? What files are likely to see the light of day? And what files will continue to linger in the dark? Let us know in the poll below

Do you think the JFK, RFK, and MLK files will be unveiled?

Do you think the 9/11 files will be unveiled?

Do you think the COVID files will be unveiled?

Do you think the UFO files will be unveiled?

Do you think the Epstein list will be unveiled?

Transgender opera in Colombia? 10 SHOCKING ways USAID spent your tax dollars.

MANDEL NGAN / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has been doing what with our tax money!?

Under the determined eye of Elon Musk, DOGE has rooted out the corruption that permeates USAID, and it turns out that it's worse than we thought. Glenn recently read a list of atrocious causes that were funded by USAID, and the list was as long as it was shocking.

Since the January consumer index report was published today, one thing is clear: eggs are bearing the brunt of inflation. That's why we illustrated the extent of USAID's wasteful spending of YOUR taxpayer dollars by comparing it to the price of eggs. How many eggs could the American people have bought with their tax dollars that were given to a "transgender opera" in Colombia or indoctrinating Sri Lankans with woke gender ideology? The truth will shock you:

1. A “transgender opera” in Colombia

USAID spent $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia. That's over 135,000 eggs.

2. Sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala

$2 million was spent funding sex changes along with whatever "LGBT activism" means. That equates to over 5.7 million eggs!

3. Teaching Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary-gendered language

USAID forked over $7.9 million to combat the "gender binary" in Sri Lankan journalism. That could have bought nearly 23 million eggs.

4. Tourism in Egypt

$6 million (or just over 17 million eggs) was spent to fund tourism in Egypt. If only someone had thought to build some impressive landmarks...

5. A new "Sesame Street" show in Iraq

USAID spent $20 million to create a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. That's just short of 58 million eggs...

6. Helping the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society

$2.1 million was sent to the BBC (the British Broadcasting Corporation) to help them value the diversity of Libyan society (whatever that means). That could have bought over 6 million eggs.

7. Meals for a terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda

$10 million worth of USAID-funded meals went to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group. That comes up to be just shy of 29 million eggs.

8. Promoting inclusion in Vietnam

A combined $19.3 million was sent to two separate inclusion groups in Vietnam inclusion groups in Vietnam (why where they separated? Not very inclusive of them). That's over 55 million eggs.

9. Promoting DEI in Serbia's workplaces

USAID sent $1.5 million (4.3 million eggs) to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities.”

10. Funding EcoHealth Alliance, tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology's "bat research"

EcoHealth Alliance, one of the key NGOs that funded the Wuhan lab's bat virus research, received $5 million from USAID, which is equivalent to 14.5 million eggs.

The bottom line...

So, how much damage was done?

In total, approximately $73.8 million was wasted on the items on this list. That comes out to be 213 million eggs. Keep in mind that these are just the items on this list, there are many, many more that DOGE has uncovered and will uncover in the coming days. Case in point: that's a lot of eggs.

POLL: Should Trump stop producing pennies?

SAUL LOEB / Contributor, Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

On Sunday, February 9th, President Trump ordered the U.S. Mint to halt the production of pennies. It costs the mint three cents to produce every penny, which Trump deemed wasteful. However, critics argue that axing the pennies will be compensated by ramping up nickel production, which costs 13 cents per coin.

In other news, President Trump promised on Truth Social that he would be reversing a Biden-era policy that mandated the use of paper straws throughout the federal government. From potentially slashing entire agencies to saying farewell to pennies and paper straws, Trump is hounding after wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars.

But what do you think? Was Trump right to put an end to pennies? And should plastic straws make a comeback? Let us know in the poll below:
