Trend: Public High School Coach Fired for Speaking Truthfully About Gender
In the case of David Bloch, a snowboarding coach at Woodstock Union High School in Vermont, we see a textbook example of discrimination fueled by today's cultural and political biases. Bloch, who not only founded the school's snowboarding team but also spearheaded its success since 2011, was unceremoniously fired. The trigger for this unjust dismissal? A mere casual conversation with two students, during which Bloch stated the obvious: that there are inherent biological differences between males and females, particularly in the realm of sports.
The details of this conversation reveal the absurdity of the opposition to Bloch's remarks. He merely pointed out the well-documented and scientifically supported fact that men and women, on average, have different physical capabilities due to biological differences. This is not a controversial or radical statement—it is a basic acknowledgment of human physiology and has significant implications in the world of sports. In most athletic contexts, these differences give males a physical advantage over females, an observation backed by countless studies and empirical evidence.
The conversation between Bloch and these two students wasn't a formal lecture or a public statement representing the school, it was a private discussion, not meant for a wider audience. Bloch wasn't addressing the school or even his entire team. It was a brief, three-minute exchange that should have been inconsequential. Yet, this exchange cost him his job. Ironically, one of the two students involved in the conversation even supported the idea that Bloch should be reinstated, which was documented in federal court records.
This situation represents a glaring example of the double standards and hypocrisy in the current social and educational milieu. If Bloch had given a talk affirming abortion, counseling these students to pursue "gender-affirming" surgery, or advocating for some other leftist cause, you know as well as I do that his job would have remained secure. But he wasn't toeing the line of political correctness, he was speaking the truth.
