New York Spent More Than $200,000 On Drag Queen Story Hours At Public Schools - Big League Politics 

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/new-york-spent-more-than-200000-on-drag-queen-story-hours-at-public-schools/

   

According to the New York Post, over $200,000 is being spent on drag queen shows in New York public schools. This incredible amount of cash is coming at the expense of taxpayers, often without parental knowledge or consent.

In May of this year, the state gave nonprofit Drag Story Hour NYC $46,000 from city contracts for appearances at public schools, street festivals, and libraries.


 

“Since January, the group has organized 49 drag programs in 34 public elementary, middle, and high schools, it boasted on its website, with appearances in all five boroughs,” the New York Post reported.

The Drag Story Hour NYC organization’s website claims that all funds go towards continuing to bring free and low-cost “Drag Story Hour” programs to NYC public schools.

The New York Post continued by stating, “since 2018, the group — previously known as Drag Queen Story Hour NYC, before changing its name early this year — has received a total of $207,000 in taxpayer cash.”

“The tally includes $50,000 from New York State through its Council on the Arts, along with $157,000 from the city’s Departments of Education, Cultural Affairs, Youth and Community Development, and even the Department of Transportation, city data shows,” the outlet added.

Drag queen story hours for children have evolved into a mainstream hot button issue over the course of this year’s Pride Month, but it has been a rising trend across the nation since 2017.

Typically, they involve cross-dressed performers reading aloud from a list of books that are said to teach acceptance and inclusion. Far too often these books include many adult themes like gender transitioning and child drag.

Parents are starting to notice how damaging these books can be for children, especially when introduced at such an early age, with uproar ramping up across the nation over the inclusion of these themes in the classroom.

For example, three Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania mothers have just filed a lawsuit to stop a first-grade teacher from instructing their kids about transgender transitioning and other gender identity topics.

 

The mothers claim that the first-grade teacher violated the Constitution, state law, and district policy by teaching gender ideology in the elementary school class by using books such as When Aiden Became a Brother and Introducing Teddy to explain and showcase how boys can transition into girls if they choose. And vise-versa.

The parents argue that the books have been aimed at children as young as six and seven years old. But other examples from other public schools in the country have indicated that these drag queen story hours have involved kids as young as three years old. As many parents have rightfully noted, none of these events have anything to do with the public school curriculum.

Per City Council member Vickie Paladino (R-Queens), “I am considering pulling funding to any school in my district that is implementing Drag Queen Story Hour.”

“We are taking hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the pockets of hardworking New York taxpayers … to fund a program teaching little children about their gender fluidity? Not. On. My. Watch,” she added.

 

 

Great Plains Energy plan for business and residential Energy Efficiency programs is: 'You Will Pay For a Carbon Credit Management System'

“Evergy, the largest electric utility in Kansas, needed to make a plan because the Kansas Supreme Court shot down a previous solar rate. Meantime, the utility insists it needs to recover the cost of having electricity on demand for solar-equipped homes that don’t buy many kilowatts.”

Then gas stations should receive a subsidy for gasoline NOT sold. What this statement says is that you DO NOT have freedom to choose LESS consumption. Here is the real reason for the new Evergy efficient plan:“The state’s largest utility wants to charge customers with solar panels about $25 a month, even if their homes pull almost no electricity off the grid.”

Great Plains is utilizing the basic principles of socialism in their offering where a system's users pay for what someone else doesn’t use.  https://eu.cjonline.com/story/news/politics/state/2020/11/01/evergy-wants-to-charge-everyone-to-collect-more-from-solar-users/114603258/  “Graham has had solar panels on his house since about 2015. He said it’s unfair that Evergy would make him pay more money for reducing demand on the company’s system. He also said the constant rate changes make him want to disconnect from the grid entirely.”

This is likely what it will take, people getting off the grid to keep the globalist utility barons from bankrupting everyone. Remember you  WILL HAVE NO SAY once this plan passes the KCC.

“The electric utility, which serves 1.2 million customers in Kansas and Missouri, filed a plan with Kansas regulators last week to invest in a host of energy efficiency programs for business and residential customers. “Evergy’s plan would add to the fees on customers’ bills to offer programs such as weatherization for low-income residents, energy audits to educate customers about their usage, and rebates to encourage customers to invest in more energy-efficient water heaters and air conditioners…Their bills would go up slightly in the coming years....Programs such as financing improvements through residents’ energy bills, offering incentives for local plumbers and hardware stores to stock energy-efficient appliances, and giving out smart thermostats are commonly offered by utility companies. Evergy has a slate of programs for Missouri customers, but its Kansas offerings are far more limited.”

Kansas doesn't have the population base that Missouri has so more creative means of how to distribute costs are required.Really? And Isn't this an individual decison rather than a collective one? How is it my responsibility to pay for someone elses's Non energy usage, choice of appliances to sell or energy use education? These brainless autocrons operating large utility systems have no concept of how the free market functions; they can only devise authoritarian and collective methods of garnering revenue and then coerce politicians and regulators into complying. Slightly increase? Solar panels would be $3.00 per kilowatt installed. If you have 10 kilowatts of solar panels installed that would amount to another $30 per month in fees. What sense does this make?  “Bradley Lutz, Evergy’s director of regulatory affairs, said in testimony filed at the KCC that if the company can’t charge solar customers exclusively, then everyone will have to pay the difference.” This is certainly an innovative approach, penalizing customers who devise mehods of reducing utility demand. Does anyone still believe this is about energy conservation or reducing global warming?

Look at one of Evergy’s typical bills; it’s already full of fees, taxes and incidental charges. Here are a few examples FROM MY own monthly BILL:

Customer charge:              $ 14.25      (what’s this fee for except being continuously connected?)
Energy charge:                  $ 14.48
ECA charge (3-3-2022)                        (Oh Yes, they back charge you for their cost overruns.
KwH  at .02002 per KWh    $  0.24       (energy cost adjustment may involve ‘future fuel costs’)
ECA charge (4-1-2022)
K wH at .02168 PER kwH  $ 3.62
EER charge                       $  .02        (Energy environmental charge, you pay for  programs they must meet.
KwH at .0001 per kWh        
PTS charge                      $ .21          (Property tax surcharge)
kWh at 0.0017per kWh
TDC charge                                       (Transmitting electric to your home charge)
kWh at .0626 per kWh     $ 1.12
franchise Fee                  $ 1.02
County Sales Tax            $  .52     
City sales tax                  $  .39

Before Great Plains, a global power consortium, bought KCPL and created EVERGY, there was just KCPL. Read about their earlier SMART” energy saver plan in my sitejabber report at https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/kcpl.com#1 and find out how Missouri Public Service has accepted KCPL’s smart device spy plan and not only is an extension of the original five year plan, but will also roll in new features.And Don’t think government will be idle: “Smart” thermostats in Texas being remotely controlled by government to limit energy usage.  And this is the end of free choice, "...But, I only agreed to a four hour shutoff." No you agreed to let them have COMPLETE control of your home temperature and you will swelter so they can improve their unit profitability.

Utility energy programs are designed to keep one constantly upgrading his or her home and is part of the UN’s sustainable development program. This plan will simply increase existing charges plus add new ones. Notice that this plan has no opt out feature and you will pay more until you comply. Your bill helps provide remuneration for utility investors. Expect the bill to also include anticipated carbon footprint costs, a backdoor for implementing the failed EPA carbon credits program. After all, you really don’t own your home, you have government and other special interests defining what your home environment may be and what you can have and do.

A smart thermostat is the kind enabling the utility to control your AC or heating system, not a good idea under the best of circumstances. And rest assured this will involve reducing your carbon footprint as defined by the utility.  “KCPL is already committed to reducing its footprint. Evergy is already on a path to reduce its carbon footprint. he company plans to retire all coal operations at the Lawrence Energy Center by the end of 2023 and expects to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.”

Once you eliminate fossil fuels, costs will go sky high. Keep in mind that if Evergy were truly offering choices they wouldn’t be going to the KCC for approval. Zero emissions means there must be added (low yield) green energy programs to supplement retired fossil plants. And remember weather is an important factor, wind turbines were inoperable in the cold that decended on Texas. The fact is we don’t have an environmental crisis, climate change is an absolute hoax; it’s just an elaborate plan to implement economic control with a social credit system all for the benefit of global investors. None of their dooms day predictions were accurate. Climate Experts are Zero out of 41 doomsday global warming predictions !

The utility programs are designed to keep one constantly adjusting his or her home upwards and are part of the UN’s sustainable development program.  This plan will simply increase charges plus add new ones.  Your bill will essentially become a penalty (along with inflation) until you comply.  Expect the bill to reflect your anticipated carbon credits, a backdoor for implementing the failed EPA carbon credits program.  After all, you really don’t own your home, you have other interests regulating your environment and what you may have and do.

This is a social credit plan like what the Chinese communist party used for forcing consumers to comply with their lopsided  agenda. Either upgrade your system or pay penalties in the form of higher rates until you meet their standards.

Evergy is supposedly in business to sell power at affordable prices, not micromanaging consumers to support their global environmental policies and implement carbon controls.

Update:VoterGA Continues to Cite Dominion Election Problems as Woman Who Wasn't On the Ballot Wins and Dem Primary Candidate Receives Zero Votes in Several Counties

by Staff

Here is an interesting election twist, Linda Arnold who wasn't on the Fulton County, GA Fistrict 7 School Board Primary Ballot Garners the most votes as reported by Garland Favorito of VoterGA on FrankSpeech.com. But readers should note that there continues to be no evidence of election fraud according to GA election Officials.

Frank Speech down battot results

In futher News coming out of Georgia. More bad news for Dominion.. the machine allowing candidates to be selected NOT elected. A local county commssioner race in DeKlab County, where one of the candidates received zero votes in several counties, led to complaints for a recount of election results where it was discovered the Dominion Machine counts were thousands of votes LESS than the actual count ! 

Secretary of State Brad Raffensburger subsequently admitted to a programming error in the Dominion software leading to this discrepancy.

Dominion finally exposed. Join our Frank Speech reporter as we talk about the biggest bombshells coming out of the election fraud investigation. The evidence is definitive and clear, especially in the wake of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) admitting to serious and several vulnerabilities with Dominion Machines. 

How does DeKlab County's hand recount connect to all of this? Tune in to find out!  https://cdn.frankspeech.com/DOMINIONISBUSTEDGeorgiaHandCou/mp4/DOMINIONISBUSTEDGeorgiaHandCou_audio.mp3


ELECTION INTEGRITY BILL BLOCKED ON FINAL VOTE

The good news in the recently completed General Assembly session is that we were successful at stopping Brad Raffensperger’s attempt to lift the ban on private money and eliminate non-partisan poll watching. The bad news is that Gov. Brian Kemp and Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan blocked the SB89 election integrity bill just before it became law.
