Last week’s shooting in Nashville, Tennessee is strangely different than other school shootings that have occurred.
At the onset, there were no mistakes by law enforcement as they responded quickly and neutralized the shooter within minutes, as was captured on the body cams of the officers who responded.
With heroic actions, they were able to shoot the murderer after three students and three teachers were tragically shot and killed.
But the empathy and horror that usually comes from the White House over such a tragic event has this time been channeled in a direction away from the victims at the school.
In fact, it is directed toward the shooter herself, a transgender former student at the same school. Since the sad day of the shooting, President Biden has been vocal in expounding pride in transgender identity instead of decrying the murderous intent of the shooter.
On Friday, four days after the massacre at the Covenant Christian school, Biden issued a proclamation declaring March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility” and railed against “MAGA extremists [who] are advancing hundreds of hateful and extreme state laws that target transgender kids and their families … These attacks are un-American and must end.”
The New York Post reports:
The White House marked the occasion with a 3,464-word “fact sheet” suggesting that “conservative politicians” were driving “transgender youth” to consider suicide. Hard though it is to believe at a moment when discretion and sensitivity were needed, the president issued statements from the White House claiming “Transgender Americans shape our Nation’s soul.”
Every day last week, after three children and three adults were murdered by a transgender shooter at a Christian school in Nashville on Monday, Joe Biden waxed lyrical about the “joy, strength, and absolute courage [of] transgender and nonbinary Americans.”
Who is standing up for the victims of last week’s horror? Certainly not the media, which has decided that the real victims are the transgender community, in anticipation of some imaginary backlash from Christians. “Fear pervades Tennessee’s trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter’s gender identity” was a typical headline from NBC.
Corporate America sang from the same hymn book. One day after the massacre of three little kids in Nashville, Amazon sent a message to “LGBTQIA+ employees and allies” expressing “support and solidarity during this period of apprehension and uncertainty.”
The trans propaganda from the White House continued into the weekend, while Biden and his administration said not one word about Christians all week, despite the fact that the Nashville shooting appears to have been a hate crime targeted at a Christian school; we can’t yet definitely assert the motive because the killer’s so-called “manifesto” is being kept from us, unlike similar documents in other massacres.
On Friday Christian funerals for the victims began, teachers who spent their lives caring for children and the children in their care were gone due to the violence, yet the trans-pandering continued the very day of the funerals.
Children Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney along with Head of School Katherine Koonce, custodian Mike Hill, and substitute teacher Cynthia Peak lost their lives to a troubled recently-trans shooter. The incident gives even more weight to the opposition of gender surgery for youth, but that is not recognized by the Biden Administration, and no word of the hate crime toward Christians came from Biden.
The White House went ahead with a “White House Roundtable Affirming Transgender Kids.” This was an opportunity for domestic policy adviser Susan Rice to use children as props in a cynical political stunt aimed at demonizing Republicans in red states who have passed laws to protect kids from sex hormones and experimental gender surgery.
Despite the trans shooter’s derangement in Nashville, and countless documented studies around the world, those who decry this experimental surgery are held up as the villains.
In banning this type of surgery for children, the Republican legislatures and governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis are in accord with the most up-to-date thinking in Europe. Countries like Sweden, Finland, Belgium and England, hardly bastions of transphobia, have cracked down hard on the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery for children, after finding that the interventions have done more harm than good and are not evidence-based.
The Post continues: You can see that from the sociopathic lack of empathy exhibited by the White House as it plowed ahead with its transgender talking points, effectively valorizing the cause of the Nashville killer.
It cast as villains “conservative politicians [who] have advanced hundreds of anti-transgender laws in states across the country … putting the fundamental rights and freedoms of trans Americans at risk … Over half of transgender youth say they have seriously considered suicide in the last year because of the discrimination and rejection they face.”
But it is essential to the new political narrative Biden and his party have designed for the 2024 political cycle.
