Do you know about “rice Christians”? It’s the slur term used for Third World Christians who converted only to get material benefits, e.g., a bag of rice to feed their hungry family.

The Biden Administration is forcing America’s hungry schoolchildren to be “rice Christians” for the religion of Pride. What they’re doing to school lunch programs:

Can you believe that? From the USDA press release:

As a result, state and local agencies, program operators and sponsors that receive funds from FNS must investigate allegations of discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. Those organizations must also update their non-discrimination policies and signage to include prohibitions against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

Nutrition disparities negatively impact health, productivity and overall well-being for too many in the U.S. FNS recognizes that equitable nutrition assistance means that every American – regardless of identity or background – can access the food they need to thrive.

Liars. Joe Biden and his team do not believe that every American should have access to food. Only those who attend schools and interact with food-providing institutions that pledge faith in the Pride religion are eligible for food.

This is what our Very Catholic president Joe Biden is doing: in effect, forcing hungry Americans to cooperate with evil in order for their children to be fed.

How is this tolerable? This is not even liberal. How can anybody deny food to hungry poor people who don’t agree with one’s political or religious beliefs? What kind of SOB compels a hungry person to deny their conscience as a condition of being fed? I would give food to the children of the worst racist, the worst anti-Christian bigot, the worst anybody. Because that’s what it means to be human. 

This is the United States Government today: tyrannical, inhuman, progressive as Hell.

Meanwhile, here’s a tweet from a magazine that imagines itself to be “empowering men to raise great kids and lead more fulfilling adult lives”:

Gosh, let’s read what Fatherly has to advise. Excerpt:

Before going to Pride, you should also sit your kids down with a few more children’s books about LGBTQ+ people and families. Kids have a tendency to point and ask questions when they’re exposed to new things, and you don’t want people celebrating Pride to become a convenient life lesson for your children. If you’re straight and cisgender or just haven’t exposed your kids to much of the LGBTQ+ community yet, prepping your children beforehand can ensure that your family is respectful of queer people while at Pride.

Jenifer McGuire, Ph.D., an associate professor of family social science at the University of Minnesota, has been to Pride celebrations across the world with her family, from Tucson to Amsterdam. McGuire, a lesbian parent, always preps her kids for possible adult content beforehand. After a few events, the kids knew to expect nudity and other surprises. “They just had to learn to laugh and enjoy things. Like there were these Beanie Babies with giant penises on them,” McGuire says. “For a fourth- and fifth-grade kid, that’s super funny.”

The benefits to her family always outweighed any potential downside, McGuire says, because they could see how many other queer families were in their community and around the world. “They don’t necessarily get that from their swimming teams and drama clubs and school,” she says.

I’m old enough to remember in the early 1990s, Pat Robertson being assailed for airing on The 700 Club racy video from the Washington DC Pride parade. He was criticized as homophobic not because he distorted anything, but because he aired it at all. Normies were not supposed to notice all the nudity and kink.

I cannot believe that we live in a time in which the US Government is compelling schools an dother organizations to affirm transgenderism as a condition of being able to receive and distribute food for hungry people, including children. But we do live in such a time. The Pride god is a jealous god.
