By having the post of U.S. surgeon general, the people who serve as the so-called “nation’s doctor” possess, according to the National Library of Medicine, the “political independence to make themselves into the most visible and, in the public’s mind, impartial and therefore trusted government spokespersons on health issues affecting the nation as a whole.”
Suffice to say. President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, has shown he is willing to sacrifice public trust, the belief in his impartiality, and his alleged political independence to serve Biden’s leftist political agenda.
On Monday, Murthy became the latest Biden administration official to attack Florida’s effort to protect young children from the onslaught of sexual politics. Murthy issued a brief series of tweets condemning the Parental Rights in Education bill, which awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
In his tweet string, Murthy noted, “Florida’s recent law restricting discussion about gender identity in school has understandably raised serious concerns. The law concerns me too.”
This is Murthy’s first flaw. The bill does not stop “discussion about gender identity in school.”
Instead, as the bill’s most renowned sentence states: “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
Yet, he continued, adding, “Learning that people are different and that not all families look the same — these are important lessons that start early in life, including in school. They help create a society based on understanding and respect. They help children know they belong even if they are different.”
Mind you, Dr. Murthy works for an administration that has refused to accept or seek to understand its political opponents, routinely calling them white supremacists, bigots and threats to the future of the country.
He then tweeted about his own time as a Floridian
“I grew up in Florida and am a proud graduate of the public school system. As a kid who often felt I didn’t belong, it helped tremendously when teachers openly discussed our different backgrounds. This built understanding and reduced shame,” Murthy shared.
“LGBTQ+ youth also deserve such proactive support. Preventing or criminalizing efforts to foster such understanding hurts kids & families. It shuts down dialogue instead of nurturing healthy conversation. And it sends a signal to LGBTQ+ youth that they are not fully accepted,” Murthy concluded.
Of course, Murthy, for all his talk about achieving “understanding” and promoting “healthy conversation,” doesn’t seem to care or want to know why many parents object to having their children 8 and younger exposed to such sophisticated, sexually-oriented topics – especially when, unless or until DeSantis enacts the law, schools can hide this fact from parents, or not allow them to opt-out of such instruction, as the bill allows them to do.
And to correct the doctor on another bit of his misinformation, nothing in the Parental Rights in Education bill is “criminalizing” discussion of such topics.
The bill allow parents to sue school districts for teaching their children these issues without their consent. Murthy has just revealed himself as much a political hack as other administration critics of Florida’s bill, including Biden himself, U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, and White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki – critics who have neither read the bill, nor shown any desire to.

So how about we take his two children and have educators tell them that there are only two sexes, anyone who thinks otherwise is mentally ill and should be seen as evil! How would he like it if the shoe was on the wrong foot because the schools do not accept transwhatevers as normal. How would he handle the situation as a parent to a five year old? Schools don’t need to be discussing this crap with the children who don’t even understand the genders at their young age. That’s Surgeon General Vivek Murthy job to explain to HIS child about gender, not the schools. Did you even read the damn bill? I love my governor! YOU, not so much!
