Carrie Pfeiffer Corrects Board Member for Not Using They/Them When Referencing a Speaker

The following is a great example of a common tactic used in political warfare, the Motte & Bailey.

The Motte & Bailey was originally a medieval European stronghold designed to defend a town. The bailey was created as the desirable living place where people generally want to be. There is more space to move about as it is flat and open. Because it is more exposed, it is also more vulnerable to attack. Overlooking the bailey, the motte is typically elevated as it is designed to do nothing but defend. Due to the intended purpose, the design can be restrictive and uncomfortable so no one wants to use it for day-to-day living. They will eventually descend back down into the bailey when they feel it is “safe” or socially acceptable to do so. This is where you will encounter the luxuries of personal preference.

As Americans, we should all be able to agree that freedom of speech is a right. One could describe this belief as a motte. While preferred pronoun requests contradict commonly held scientific and religious beliefs, most would likely allow an individual to at least make these requests out of respect for the motte of the First Amendment.

In the following video clip, however, you will see a School Board Representative denying the individual freedom of another to make this decision without public stigma. She has descended from the motte of the First Amendment. She is now in the bailey of public correction on record in her position as a government official in an attempt to enforce cult-like queer theorist beliefs. Meanwhile, many still believe that love does not exist if not first built on a foundation of truth.

"Say this or else." This, my friends, is the beginning stages of compelled speech. With Title IX changes pending, we can expect to see more examples of this in Wilson County Schools moving forward, especially if she maintains her seat as a decision maker.

On another note...

Similar to the master magician, a master manipulator will stop at nothing to distract you from the truth of what is really happening in this video. Rather than slide-of-hand, they will use slide-of-tongue. You will know them by their tactics.

Those with weak high order thinking skills will present various ad hominem arguments to say that this clip was created out of sheer hatred for LGBTQ children. They may present “guilty by association” attacks to distract from the reality of what is happening here. They may present red herrings and non sequiturs to suggest this is somehow indicative of hatred toward special needs children. Stranger things have happened. But the repeated comments reveal a personal vendetta against a caricature that bears no resemblance to reality. At the end of the day, it's just another sad cry for attention. Regardless of whoever has the last work in a thread, the truth always bats last.

Wilson County School Board discussion on YOLO by Lauren Myracle ends with Rep. Pfeiffer correcting Dr. Beth Meyers because she didn’t use they/them pronouns when referencing a speaker.
