AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan issued a pointed warning that American parents' concerns regarding their children's exposure to radical gender theories and explicit material such as pornographic books within the school system are not valid.
Rogan's statement underscores the ongoing debate about what materials are appropriate for educational settings and the broader discussions surrounding the role of parents and educators in shaping the learning environment.
During a conversation with comedian Tim Dillon, Rogan drew attention to the fact that teachers often spend significant amount of time with students each day.
He emphasized that teachers have the undivided attention of children for hours on end and expressed concern about some educators potentially subscribing to unconventional or extreme beliefs.
Joe Rogan calls out teachers pushing for 'cartoon pornography'
He said, "Those adults are with your children more than you are during the day.”
Rogan also added, "They’re there for hours and hours with the undivided attention of your kids and some of them are f**king loons.”
In addition, Rogan noted, “Some of them think that they have a job to do, to remove the programming of the parents that they don’t agree with.”
Podcasters said that these teachers oppose parents' values and “tell the kids that the parents are wrong, and they’re right, which is a real creepy thing.”
Expanding on his concerns, Rogan proceeded to issue a cautionary note. He emphasized that individuals within the educational system have the potential to exert a significant influence on students' minds. "Get into your kid’s head."
He expressed apprehension that educators might introduce ideas that are uncertain or open to debate and attempt to establish them as unquestionable truths.
Dillon said, “As somebody who’s been out of the closet for years and years and [doesn’t] hide anything… I don’t think six-year-olds should be taught about any sexuality. It has nothing to do with their lives.”
Rogan acknowledged parents' valid concerns by citing concrete examples of inappropriate content within educational materials.
He specifically highlighted instances where certain books contained graphic imagery, including explicit depictions of oral sex. Rogan's astonishment was evident as he described the content in question, labeling it as outrageous.
He went on to mention that some “books where they were showing explicit oral s*x, they were showing illustrations of oral s*x, and said, “It’s crazy.”
According to him, some books have written about “lust and wanting someone” to the point where “it’s essentially cartoon pornography.”
Dillon, in agreement with Rogan, added his perspective to the discussion. He expressed his own concern by stating that it's equally alarming to introduce the concept of gender theory to children.
“It’s not fair,” Rogan agreed.
Both Rogan and Dillon found common ground in their perspective, agreeing that children's minds are highly impressionable during their formative years, rendering them particularly vulnerable to ideological influence.
Rogan delved into yet another unsettling aspect of transgender ideology
Rogan went on to highlight another disconcerting facet of transgender ideology within society. He pointed out that there's a concerning lack of acknowledgment for individuals who were once aligned with transgender ideology but have since diverged from it.
This observation underscores the importance of fostering an environment that encourages open dialogue, respects diverse viewpoints, and acknowledges the fluidity of human perspectives and experiences over time.
“Another thing that really scares me is there does not seem to be a lot of attention paid to detransitioners,” he said.
He added, “When you’re celebrating” transgender people, “you have a responsibility” to speak about detransitioners as well.
Rogan recounted a notable interview he had conducted with Chris Beck, an esteemed Navy veteran who had served on the renowned SEAL Team Six.
Beck had undergone gender-related surgeries during his military service but later expressed regret about those decisions after retiring from active duty.
The recounting of this interview highlights the complexity of individual experiences within the realm of transgender issues, shedding light on the diverse range of perspectives and journeys that people may go through, both in their personal lives and in relation to societal constructs.
“That’s why you can’t make those decisions when you’re young, you’ve got to see what happens,” Dillon said.
“So one of the biggest pieces of data that they’re missing right now is that 80% of the kids who are going through gender dysphoria or gender confusion either before puberty and during puberty, 80% of those kids are corrected – They will get rid of all that gender confusion by the time puberty is over. 80%!” he recounted on Fox News Tonight.
