TOMORROW ALWAYS DIES (AS HUMOR)

 Here's a post from one of the forums I visit, which I argued that when corporations and public schools endorse ultra-liberal causes, they're seeking to immunize themselves from frivolous lawsuits. To place things in context, my opponent argued that Florida's Parental Rights Act could encourage frivolous lawsuits. A separate opponent reprinted the following editorial cartoon from the odious ultraliberal Tom Tomorrow, to which I also made reference. All of Tomorrow's allegations are full of crap, but the SONG OF THE SOUTH lie is in the fifth panel.

I may surprise you with a minimal agreement. Will the Parental Rights Act open up the possibility that some parents file frivolous lawsuits over minor kerfuffles? Yes, that is a distinct possibility.


But what you fail to mention is that American corporations, including the schools, are already constantly under the threat of frivolous lawsuits from grifters who want to use inclusivity to make money in court. Remember the winner who called himself Jessica Yaniv? No, that didn't have anything to do with public school, but you think schools don't worry, as much as any corporations, about getting so targeted?





In fact, Disney's apparent championing of LGBTQ representation may have a lot more to do with immunizing their corporation from such activist targeting than any high ideals. A few days back a poster printed a broadside from that stellar comics genius (sarcasm emoji) Tom Tomorrow. Tomorrow should remind everyone here that Libs frequently used to attack Disney for being too conservative (though in the forties through the nineties, they were generally more centrist). To that end Tomorrow brought up SONG OF THE SOUTH, claiming that the movie was constructed to portray Southern plantation life as happy for Black people. This was a lie that's doubly insulting because it can be so easily refuted, but Tomorrow, if he was ever a Classic Lib, has gone full Progressive. And yeah, I'm sure schools would like to get parents off their backs so that they can immunize themselves from frivolous suits by tossing out a few drag queen performances to please the activists.


P.S. Tomorrow also lies like a dog about Scott Adams, who has categorically stated that he made his "race remarks" as a hyperbolic method of provoking conversation. But guys like Tomorrow are not interested in conversation, only in dogma.
