Savage Rebellion (1)

(JA see prev.)

Proponents of introducing Critical Gender Theory curricula and graphic sexual education to young children in schools have rejected the “groomer” pejorative critics recently began lobbing at them. Still, the grooming methods that experts outlined for the Caller bear a striking resemblance to some of the newer sexual education lessons the fringe political left is pushing into classrooms.

The most common tactics groomers employ are cultivating a positive reputation within a community, introducing sexualized topics or imagery to kids, isolating them from their parents, and encouraging them to keep secrets, experts told the Daily Caller. Each of these red flags have manifested themselves in classroom policies or public programs for children across America in recent years.

 Pamela Geller's quote on 'critical gender theory'. All these 'critical' theories can deny the progression of events that allows them to just 'happen'.

School is the repository of race-oriented gags of the 'bleach bath' variety. It's nasty and messy, most grow our of it, and are allowed to develop with no straightjacket of imposition. The 'critical' theories repress instinctive thoughts that are part of growing-up in the rough-house of life, as opposed to the clinical laboratory of whitey (theorists.)

Schools can be character-building, and the bully-boy/victim syndrome is not necessarily race-related (see Lindsay Anderson's If, A4.)

Bullying and beastliness are part of an animal heritage. There are limits to analytical thinking imposed by the body. The limits are seen in the toilet humour of Greek comedy, and in Godard's Goodbye to Language - see What the F***?3.

The body progressively develops, hormones marking the passage of time and puberty. Geller doesn't mention it, but the focus on the genitals in primary school is very confusing to the body.

A primary-age body has just finished toilet-training and the genital area is associated with toilet functions. This is typical of analytical thinking in that the limits to the thinking are the functions of the body.

Unless the body is allowed to progress at its own pace, psychic confusion is the result. The bigger point is that hormones operate in time, involving the rhythms and balance of the body.

The modern world lives in distorted rhythms of variable time that are associated with machines. In other words, the analytical head is thinking like a machine, and the limits to that mode of thought are exposed by the progression of the developing body in time.

These rhythms are invariable, and the universe viewed as psyche - planets and spin - is in invariable time (Earthspin, zodiac.)

The 'critical' theories deny the play of comedy involving insults, abuse. Kids are messy critters, and to supress instinctive slanders is going to repress the psyche.

Before the 'critical' theories, of course there was the Civil Rights era that imposed desegregation. In the 50s, public figures such as Josephine Baker started a trend of desegregated audiences. Baker lived mainly in France, and promoted the racially relaxed attitude of the French to the American mainstream.

Following Martin Luther King's assassination, Baker was offered the role of spokesperson but declined. Rather than thinking purely politically, Baker's 1925

DANSE SAUVAGE

expresses in itself a rebellion against the dictates of analytical thought. At the time, Art Deco was in the ascendancy, and Baker's animal athleticism became associated with the art movement. 


To Heningway, she was
"The most sensational woman anyone ever saw." The strength of racial differences doesn't need to be suppressed by the state, and the wishes of communes - black and white - overriden. Desegregation can take place without being imposed, retaining the savage nature of instinct (strength of psyche.)

Danse Sauvage

A savage rebellion can only happen if the cerebellum - instinctive hindbrain - is enabled to express identity through the body (breath, blood, sweat, sight.)

The unfortunate legacy of Martin Luther King is that differences which are strong and distinctive are no longer a natural development (of the body, motion, non-standard clothing) with the exception of some places like Detroit that escaped federal legislation (Drame3.)
