There would be consequences, according to the group. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause these commenters have not engaged in respectful conversations in good faith, in accordance with our community standards, we have had to remove them and turn commenting off,\u201d the alliance scolded. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe stand with the LGBTQIAP+ community, who number among our staff, volunteers, and members. Hate and ignorance will not keep us from creating welcoming spaces for ALL bird enthusiasts and nature lovers,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cOur lessons are all based on documented natural phenomena that are well-studied by scientists and naturalists, and easy to find and learn about through reputable sources. We are proud to have lessons that show how humans fit into this already diverse world, and applaud educators who are making a space for ALL kids to learn and ask important questions, and for LGBTQIAP+ kids to feel safe and valued in the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But do you need to push gender-bending fish and ape homoerotica to make ALL kids feel \u201csafe and valued\u201d? <\/p>\n<p>None of this should stun anybody who has the misfortune of living in Madison or who, like me, thanks his lucky stars daily for escaping Wisconsin\u2019s insane asylum city.
