LOUDON, FOR THOSE FOLLOWING POLICY 8040, STUDENTS WALK OUT OF SCHOOL OVER POLICY OF ALLOWING BOYS IN GIRLS LOCKER ROOMS

High school students in Loudoun County, Virginia, protested a school policy Wednesday that allows biological males into girl’s locker rooms and restrooms.

The protest was over Policy 8040, which affirms the district’s commitment to “providing an equitable, safe and inclusive learning environment for all students regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, transgender status, gender identity or gender expression.” Read more at Loudoun County Students Walk Out Of School Over Policy Allowing Boys In Girls Locker Rooms | The Daily Caller

Eying a run for U.S. Congress, Westchester County Executive George Latimer in October burnished his record on public safety, proclaiming that crime was down on his watch.

“While certain regions in the state are grappling with unfortunate spikes in crime rates, Westchester County is once again maintaining our consistent decline in criminal activities,” Latimer said.

Viewers of Latimer’s Oct. 11 press conference had the point driven home on the screen. MORE AT Westchester crime: Is it up or down? Depends when you start to count (lohud.com)

IF ALEX BERENSON NOTES BABY BUST, WILL PEOPLE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY?

Demographers and pundits have been blaring alarm bells about declining birth rates for decades, and that future is finally here.

ADRIAN GATY

When I became a pediatrician, I envisioned helping parents take care of sick children. I never figured I’d be spending so much time teaching adults how a diaper works. Yet as fewer and fewer of us have children, sometimes the first baby a 30-something encounters up close is her own.

What used to be fodder for ’80s comedies about clueless single men or frigid career women is now the lived experience of the few children who escape the infertility-spreading medical establishment. These kids face an uphill battle: life with fewer friends, fewer siblings, and fewer child-friendly spaces. And that’s just the half of it: If current birth rate trends hold up, they might be facing the end of civilization as we know it.

Last week Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter and award-winning novelist, penned the first in a promised series about dropping birth rates around the world — because, as he puts it, “nothing less than the future of humanity is at stake.” In response to an email I sent, Berenson said the worrisome effects of the Covid mRNA vaccine on fertility piqued his interest in the matter. Yet he said the matter speaks to something globally far more pressing than polarizing immigration or vaccine debates: “Humanity’s faith in itself is at stake.”

Demographers and pundits have been blaring alarm bells about this for decades, and that future is finally here. Mark Steyn had a birthrate bestseller nearly 20 years ago with America Alone. When Christopher Hitchens asked then-U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair whether Steyn’s warnings were part of the conversation among world leaders, “The PM shifted nervously and said it was part of ‘the subterranean conversation.’”

What keeps this existential crisis from getting the same alarmist coverage other crises do? An answer can be found with Steyn’s fellow brave Canadian, Jordan Peterson. In a wide-ranging discussion with renegade feminist Camille Paglia six years ago, Paglia laid the blame for the shrinking family on the chaos of the sexual revolution.   Read more at If Alex Berenson Notes Baby Bust, Will People Take It Seriously?
