In Federalist Paper #10, of 1788, James Madison warned us about the following:
"By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of [self] interest, adverse to the [Natural] rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.”
Factions are defined as groups that have common interests and try to destroy the Natural Rights and interests of others to get their own way.
Relative to today, a Pennsylvania agency has made an end run around the citizens to impose gender ideology.
Last month, the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission released new guidance reinterpreting the category of “sex” in state anti-discrimination law to include “sex assigned at birth, sexual orientation, transgender identity, gender transition, and/or gender expression.”
The commission circumvented the state Legislature, which never added categories like sexual orientation and gender identity into law, thereby circumventing voters as well.
But what does this change in policy mean for the average Pennsylvanian?
This new policy could significantly curtail the First Amendment rights of citizens, as a similar policy has already done in Philadelphia.
