First, it was Randolph County, NC. Now it’s Chesapeake, VA. And if you’re paying attention, a positive pattern appears to be emerging.

A few weeks ago, a red-blooded North Carolina county had the intestinal fortitude to dissolve an unelected library board that refused to stop promoting gender ideology to kids. Now, a Virginia school board has voted 7–2 to prohibit the forced use of trans pronouns—you know, the kind of compelled speech that authoritarians drool over and the ACLU pretends doesn’t exist.

Predictably, the activist press is hyperventilating. Again. And just like clockwork, they’re screaming “censorship,” “discrimination,” “erasure,” and whatever other preloaded buzzwords their little outrage printers can spit out on command.
