Liberal talk-show host Bill Maher gave an a-typical monologue during which he vehemently argued against gender ideology for children, calling it “entrapment.” He explained his discontent in the fact that despite never having kids himself, “why am I always having to defend them? I don’t even like kids but I also think it’s every adult’s job to protect them.”
Maher also demanded for kids to be saved from sexualization and the culture wars. During the HBO host’s tirade against “woke” ideology, he went so far as to say that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “wasn’t wrong” when he called out Disney for sexualizing children, and that liberals were willing to “overlook” it because it was a Republican who spoke out.
The New York Post explains that in 2022, DeSantis passed the Parental Rights in Education bill, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which said that “a school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.”
Maher discussed the documentary “Quiet on Set: The dark side of kids TV” and said Nickelodeon isn’t all that different than Disney, citing a report that showed a slew of workers at the Mouse House, too, had been arrested for sex crimes against kids.
“A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children. And in 2021, Disney child star Alyson Stoner confessed she only narrowly survived the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline. The next year, child star Cole Sprouse told The New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were heavily sexualized from an early age,” he said.
Maher pointed out that Brian Peck, the dialogue coach who sexually abused Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, went to prison for 16 months — and upon release was hired by Disney for a children’s series.
“Oh, for pedophiles in Hollywood. It’s a small world, after all,” the comedian deadpanned. “DeSantis wasn’t wrong! But we’re so tribal now, the left will overlook child-f—ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.”
“I’ve said it before, wokeness is not an extension of liberalism anymore. It’s more often taking something so far that it becomes the opposite,” he said.
Maher continued: “Teaching kids not to hate or judge those who are different. Great!…But at a certain point, inclusion becomes promotion. And contrary to current progressive dogma, children aren’t miniature adults wise beyond their years, they’re morons.”
