Conservative Blogger Rants Against 'Propaganda' At Popular Zoo




A conservative blogger is taking issue with the information placards at cultural destinations in Chicago, claiming they present a partisan point of view.

A week after Megan Fox attracted 1 million YouTube views with her rant against the “bias and lies” on display at a local museum, the self-described "homeschooling mom" is at it again with a visit to a popular zoo.

Fox, whose Twitter bio says she is a “thorn in the side of fascist-fems,” found plenty of things to critique at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo. In video clips from the outing, Fox repeatedly accuses the zoo of having an “anti-human prejudice” because it focuses on conservation efforts instead of merely sharing basic information about the animals on display.

“Humans are bad, humans are baaaaad, very bad!” Fox says of the zoo's language about primates being at risk of extinction due to hunting and the destruction of tropical forests. (Just an aside here, the clearing of forests and the hunting of primates for food and wildlife trade are the principal threats facing the species, according to conservationists.)

It also says that she has created legal problems for a Chicago area public library. Apparently she has an "ongoing crusade against the suburban library, which the Chicago Tribune reports has paid more than $125,000 in legal fees to deal with Fox’s accusations concerning the library’s policy on users accessing pornographic images."
That is a lot of books. People like her are dangerous.

Apparently she has completely missed how humans have been raping the earth for at least the last couple of hundred years. Deforestation, extinction of species and climate change.

And just to be snarky. Lady, you really need to die your roots if you want us to believe you are actually blonde.

Just sayin'...

She did, however, bring her shitshow to the Field Museum. Luckily, I walk my own kids through the Evolving Planet exhibit twice a year, and their schools bring them there on field trips once a year, just so that they get good and "indoctrinated' with that science.

My prediction: Up next, she will rant against science, because we should marvel and wonder about the universe and nature, not analyze it. If you explain the tides or why the moon has a cycle or how magnets work or that dead things in the ground become plant-food, YOU ARE RUINING INNOCENT YOUNG MINDS!!!
