[News With Views] Other than their self-evident odiousness, what do these nooze stories have in common?

Crayola Crayons decides to market their product, which is intended mostly for use by children, by hiring a "trans man" as its model. (No, I won’t show the photo; we’re already way too close to needing a barf bag.)

New Orleans takes down a statue of Robert E. Lee and replaces it with a monstrosity depicting a nude woman with a serpent coiled around her body. How can they not know what kind of message they’re sending?

Vice President Kamala Harris sounds the alarm, "Women are getting pregnant every day in America"—as if childbearing were a crisis that has to be "solved" by Congress passing some sweeping new "abortion rights" law for the entire country (which would probably be struck down by the Supreme Court for the same reasons they overturned Roe v. Wade—it’s unconstitutional).

Members of an Australian rugby team object to being forced to wear "Gay Pride"-themed jerseys in an upcoming match. The players were not consulted over this decision by management and some have declared that they won’t play if they have to wear jerseys advertising something that they don’t believe in. Compelled speech, dontcha know.

Michigan Channel 3 News is in hot water for inventing and "reporting" the results of Michigan’s Republican primary election... when the election will not be held until next week. They even invented the voting stats. A week before the election. Why bother to hold it, eh?

I’m especially intrigued by the statue of a naked woman in the coils of a snake. Hasn’t anyone in New Orleans read Genesis? They never heard of Eve and the serpent? Is Eve’s disobedience to God, egged on by the serpent, something that they want to "celebrate"? I don’t see how it could be anything else.

And a kids’ crayon company choosing to "embrace transgender"—why in the world did they do that? Why does a news network concoct a completely false coverage of an election that hasn’t even been held yet? Why make anyone pretend to be for "gay pride," when they find the message morally revolting? And why carry on like the country’s in deep trouble and only widespread abortion can save it?

#1 As far as the New Orleans part goes, this story is screwed up at multiple levels.

#3 tw: The statue of Robert E Lee was mounted on a tall column in, not surprisingly, Lee Circle near downtown New Orleans. It was taken down several years ago, and not replaced -- there is just a column with an empty plinth. The article implies that the modern statuary sits on top of the column -- not so. It is off to the side and, as I understand it, temporary. More to the point, the article accuses New Orleanians of being religious primitives unaware of the book of Genesis. While New Orleans certainly has its share of non-believers and its share of downright evil people, on the whole New Orleans is one of the most thoroughly Judeo-Christian cities in the country, as exemplified by the great Touro Synagogue on St. Charles Avenue, and of course St. Louis Cathedral, which is part of the picture postcard view of New Orleans.

#4 Ah. Thank you for explaining, Matt.

#5 I’m especially intrigued by the statue of a naked woman in the coils of a snake.

If I read it right, it wasn't a snake until it was cursed and made to crawl or something. But who cares, it's the principle of the thing.
