<\/p>\nRUSH: Dean Singleton is the CEO, William Dean Singleton, of MediaNews Group. They are the publisher of the Denver Post. Now, the Denver Post… It\u2019s one of the daily newspapers. You\u2019ve got Rocky Mountain News, you got the Denver Post, and a columnist for the Denver Post says that he has been fired after disputing the idea that there are more than two sexes. Jon Caldara is his name.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He\u2019s “president of the Libertarian Independence Institute and a columnist for the Denver Post.” He said that he\u2019s been fired from the Post, and he chalked it up to “a difference in style” that his editors found “too insensitive.” He\u2019s a journalist and he\u2019s been canned. Here\u2019s what he said in his statement: “My column is not a soft voiced, sticky sweet NPR-styled piece which employs the language now mandated by the victim-centric, identity politics-driven media.”<\/p>\n
Everybody can imitate what NPR sounds like. It\u2019s one of the easiest things in the world to do. It\u2019s fake sophisticated. It\u2019s pseudo-elitist. It is pseudo-nonpartisan. It\u2019s pseudo-reasoned. It\u2019s very moderated and soft-spoken and thoughtful — and liberals just eat it up because they think it\u2019s the epitome of highbrow, elitist sophistication. So this guy\u2019s saying, I\u2019m not that.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m “not a soft voiced, sticky sweet, NPR-styled piece which employs the language now mandated by the victim-centric identity politics driven media.” Victim-centric is another way of saying that we have a grievance culture. And we do. The American left has given birth to a grievance culture. People that are ticked off about something, feeling like they\u2019re victims of something every day. And they are the perpetually offended, and they get what they want. Whoever does anything to offend them must stop.<\/p>\n
So this guy, Caldara, he wrote a column in which he criticized a directive in the Associated Press Stylebook which says that sex and gender are not binary. He said: “There are only two sexes,” I\u2019m sorry, “identified by an XX or XY chromosome. That is the very definition of binary.” There are two of them. “The AP ruling it isn\u2019t so doesn\u2019t change science.” But, yes, you see it does. AP can overcome science. There\u2019s a consensus, you see, of opinion at AP that only two genders isn\u2019t correct, in a political sense.<\/p>\n
He says: “The AP ruling it isn\u2019t so doesn\u2019t change science. It\u2019s a premeditative attempt to change culture and policy. It\u2019s activism.” He\u2019s exactly right. He\u2019s accusing modern American journalism of being activism, not journalism. This a January 3 column.<\/p>\n
“In a column two weeks later, Caldara also railed against a 2019 Colorado law that required elementary school children to be instructed in transgender ideology.” Elementary school kids without their parents being told or consulted are now being taught transgender ideology.<\/p>\n
“Some parents weren\u2019t thrilled a couple of years back when during school their little ones in Boulder Valley School District were treated to videos staring [sic] a transgender teddy bear teaching the kids how to misuse pronouns or when Colorado\u2019s ‘Trans Community Choir\u2019 sang to kids about a transgender raven,” Caldara wrote. “What are the protections for a parent who feels transgender singing groups and teddy bears with gender dysphoria might be ‘stigmatizing\u2019 for their kid?”<\/p>\n
He\u2019s exactly right. Are parents not to be given any say-so in this kind of perversion that their kids are being taught? So he got fired for all this.<\/p>\n
He said that “he was fired by the paper\u2019s editorial page editor, Megan Schrader. ‘Megan told me I was the page\u2019s most-read columnist. But there\u2019s now a permanently and perpetually offended class, and, in order to speak, you need to use their terminology. There\u2019s a whole lot of you-can\u2019t-say-that-ism going on right now.'”<\/p>\n

Hell\u2019s bells is that ever true. “You can\u2019t say that.” You know how many times a day I hear that? “You can\u2019t say that.” The hell I can\u2019t. I just did.<\/p>\n
