Parents Action League

The Parents Action League is a Anoka, Minnesota-based anti-gay "parents" group that alleges to be "fighting back against the oppression of the homosexual agenda."An agenda that believes children who are gay should not have to worry about being bullied. It is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.Active anti-gay groups They were spawned from controversy surrounding the policies of the Anoka-Hennepin School District regarding the bullying of homosexual students.
==Background==
The Anoka-Hennepin School District, one of the largest in the State of Minnesota, had passed a policy in 1995 which formally classified homosexuality as "not a normal, vaild lifestyle" per the district's curriculum.From the City Pages article on the controversies Controversy over this original policy was spawned by gay rights advocacy groups and led the school board, in 2009, to adopt what became known as the Sexual Orientation Curriculum Policy, which stated that teachers were to remain "neutral" on issues of sexual orientation and couldn't take sexual orientation into account when addressing issues such as bullying. The effect of this was that the district turned a blind eye to various incidents of bullying and residual suicide throughout the school district that were directly related to inaction by the district. This caused the number of suicides of bullied students in the district (many of whom were LGBT-oriented) to skyrocket,Suicides have parents questioning district's policies which, in turn, led to numerous anti-discrimination lawsuits being filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the United States Department of Justice, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, and others.Anoka-Hennepin School District settles bullying lawsuit, Star TribuneDOJ files civil rights lawsuit against MN school district Amid much controversy and media scrutiny, the school board decided in 2012 to change the policy to protect gay and lesbian students, or students percived to be gay or lesbian,As students who were bullied due to being percieved to be gay (regardless of whether or not they were) were also given the cold shoulder from bullying and bias within the district.
===Parents Action League's role===
The Parents Action League was founded by local homophobic nutjobs conservative parents, many of whom were responsible for the original 1994 school policy, who opposed changing the school policies to protect LGBT students. Furthermore, they went a few steps crazier by promoting an anti-gay agenda within the district, including wanting the schools to promote reparative therapy for LGBT students, defining AIDS as a gay illness, and a promotion of conservative, often Fundamentalist Christian, family values.Their list of concerns and demands. Needless to say, they went ape shit when the school district settled the lawsuits and reformed the anti-gay policies.The Slate quotes some of them.

Parents of ROGD Kids

Parents of ROGD Kids (often shortened to P.O.R.K.), also known among trans people as Parents of Frogged Kids, is a transphobic webshite dedicated to spreading the debunked notion of rapid-onset gender dysphoria. It smears gender-affirming healthcare through using quotes mined from the paper that actually proves it works,https://www.parentsofrogdkids.com/the-lie as well as providing information on how to find a conversion therapy practitioner.https://www.parentsofrogdkids.com/therapists. You can even find some of them here!https://www.parentsofrogdkids.com/list-of-therapists It has a made-up list of "causes" for gender dysphoria.https://www.parentsofrogdkids.com/other-causes-for-gender-dysphoria 
Claims that children decide to transition due to being "naïve and impressionable" are not supported by any legitimate science... well, at least they discovered that they are transgender.
Despite claiming to fight "political ideology dressed up as science", the authors themselves are unable to support their own claims, making this website ideological in nature.
The creators of the website are anonymous because they know the truth behind its content.

Park Young-sun

Park Young-sun (박영선) is a major politician of the Minjoo Party of Korea. She has been constantly criticized by LGBT rights groups for her extreme homophobic beliefs. However, by Korea's political standards, which have strong tribalist logic, she is considered to be more left-wing than Keum Tae-sup, who is closer to social liberalism because of her party affiliation and pro-Moon standards. She is recognized as a centrist liberal politician in South Korean politics.https://www.hankyung.com/politics/article/202102075881Y
She turned a blind eye to Korea's poor sexual minorities' human rights issues, thinking that the entire sexual minority is abnormal and contrary to nature's regulations. 
However, in recent years, the Minjoo Party has broken with the pro-Moon faction, and is classified as non-Moon by criticizing the president. In fact, she is also extremely anti-Islamic.http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/politics/politics_general/732944.html Minjoo Party supporters still seem to recognize Park Young-sun as progressive and Keum Tae-sup as conservative (by European standards, Keum Tae-sup, will be seen as a relative liberal centrist and Park Young-sun as a Christian fundamentalist right-wing).
She was the Minjoo Party nominee in the 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election. She lost to Oh Se-hoon, a member of the right-wing People Power Party.

Passing

Passing (also called blending) is the sociological term used to define and classify the actions of people who are able to be regarded as members of social groups other than their own, or the ability of a person to be regarded as a member of the gender they physically present. Passing does not necessarily or automatically imply deception on any level, in most instances.It also has been argued that "passing" among trans people has as much to do with gender attribution by others as the behavior of the trans individual themself.
Because of the high-profile, political nature of racial identity and sexuality passing, these are the two forms of passing that the media and popular culture most often focus on. However, passing is more common than most people realize. In fact, it's possible that incidents of racial and sexual passing are not the most common forms of passing, just the most well-known. Some examples of other forms of passing include:
*An atheist raised in a religious family who pretends to still have religious beliefs when visiting family and childhood friends;
*A job applicant who lies about previous experience, education and qualifications, and then must maintain the lie after being hired.
*A person raised in an upper middle class or wealthy family who pretends to be a "self-made" middle class person, especially if they can make obscene profits from their "ordinary guy" image; (e.g., Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Kevin Trudeau, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump)
*An autistic person taught that "autistic behaviors" are "socially inappropriate" will attempt to suppress their own neurology in an attempt to appear normal. This is no more humane than forcing left-handed people to do everything the way "normal" (read: right-handed) people do everything.
*A Jew "passing" for a non-Jew by not wearing religious symbols like the Kippah and trimming his beard if maleThis is impossible for orthodox observant Jews but rather common for secular and less religious Jews; sometimes this is done intentionally in areas known to be "dangerous" to Jews

Passover

Passover (Pesach or פֶּסַח) is an annual celebration in the Jewish faith which falls on 14 Nissan, the first month of the Jewish year. It commemorates the escape of the ancient Jews from slavery in Egypt, which is often considered to mark the beginning of the Jews as a people. It is one of the most important holidays in the Jewish calendar and is one of the three pilgrimage festivals (the other two being Sukkot and Shavuot) on which everyone was expected to make pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Passover has a variety of names, including 'The holiday of matzoh' (Chag HaMatzot) and 'holiday of our freedom.' (Zman Cheiruteinu)
The holiday is celebrated for seven days in Israel and eight in the rest of the world as during the Second Temple period the signal fires used to communicate the start of the new month (and thus when the holiday would fall) were frequently interfered with by the Samaritans seeking to disrupt the Jewish community. It is a holiday full of symbolism, of which the best known is the matzoh, or unleavened bread, eaten to remind us that we had to leave Egypt so quickly, we couldn't wait for bread to rise. (Matzoh is a little like an unusually tasteless cracker, and is the subject of a lot of jokes.)
The holiday begins with the lighting of the candles at sunset, followed by the evening (Ma'ariv) service at the synagogue. The highlight is the festive ceremonial meal called a seder, in which the escape from Egypt is recalled, and the participants are urged repeatedly to consider themselves as personally having escaped from slavery. This involves drinking four cups of wine and yelling about frogs, and concludes with the story of 
The solar calendar dates vary, since Judaism uses a combined solar-lunar calendar which keeps the holidays aligned with a specific season. (In contrast, the Muslim calendar is completely lunar so that holidays like Ramadan will occur in different seasons of the year.) 
The Christian Easter holidays were originally based on the timing of Passover, since that was why Jesus was in Jerusalem. The Last Supper was a celebration of Passover. However, both the Western and Eastern churches long ago divorced the exact timing of their Easter observations from the Jewish celebration, in order to make them less "Jewish".

Patent

A patent gives the holder the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention defined by its claims, once granted by a government office tasked with this chore. It's a common misconception that a patent holder has the right to practice his invention: this isn't always true, for example in the case of an improvement on an earlier invention. Patents are territorial: there is no such thing as a "world patent", although the does provide a streamlined filing system for international applications.
Albert Einstein, famously, was a patent clerk, which just goes to show ya.
Patent rights vary in duration, and in what efforts the owners must go to in order to retain them (usually: paying renewal fees; sometimes: working the invention). In most countries, including the United States, patents last for 20 years from the date the application is filed;35 U.S.C. § 154(a)(2)Art. 63 EPC under previous US law, they lasted for 17 years from the date of issuance. There are often provisions for extending patent term, if the holder had to obtain regulatory approval before marketing a product (most often, a pharmaceutical). In most countries, patents are only granted for new, useful, and non-obvious inventions; however, the legal provisions governing each of those terms can differ. Obviousness is determined from the standpoint of a person having ordinary skill in the art.35 USC 103(a)Art. 56 EPC
Patent drafting, prosecution (i.e. securing grant) and litigation is skilled work, as is that performed by patent examiners. Patent lawyers often have scientific or engineering qualifications; this is a requirement in some countries.37 C.F.R. § 11.7European Patent Office - European qualifying examination
==Patents and conspiracy theories==
Patents figure in many conspiracy theories, especially those regarding automotive woo.What is a vapor carburetor? A typical argument goes that we cannot buy cars with, e.g., 200-mpg carburetors because oil companies have bought the patents. That argument suffers from many flaws:
*If true, it would be insanely easy to prove: Just give the patent numbers.
*Such rumors have been around long enough that the patents would have expired by now.
*Since few if any inventors deal with the bother and expense of obtaining patent protection around the world, people at least somewhere in the world should be free to make and sell such cars.
*In most countries, patent applications are published 18 months after the initial filing, after which it's a bit too late for oil companies to suppress the information.35 USC 122(b)(1)(A)Art. 93 EPC

Pathological science

Pathological science is "the science of things that aren't so", a form of intellectual black hole where the holder of an idea cleaves to that idea despite mounting evidence to the contrary. They will conduct experiments using pseudoscientific methods, seeking to confirm rather than test their hypothesis.Langmuir's talk on Pathological Science (December 18, 1953) Princeton University.
Probably the most commonly cited example of pathological science is the cold fusion advocacy movement, a walled garden of researchers with their own journals which they peer review and circulate among themselves, their own conferences, and apparently their own physics. Other examples include N-rays, and some forms of woo such as homeopathy (though this is usually closer to tooth fairy science or cargo cult science).Bart Simon, Undead Science: Science Studies and the Afterlife of Cold Fusion. Rutgers University Press, 2002. Thomas F. Gieryn, Cultural Boundaries of Science: Credibility on the Line. University of Chicago Press, 1999. 
A key difference between pathological science and other forms of pseudoscience is that in pathological science, the belief system did not pre-date initial experiments. René Blondlot did not go looking for N-rays because he believed such things existed, rather he saw some odd results and tried to explain them. The pathology set in when his explanation was increasingly devoid of evidence to support it, yet Blondlot refused to accept this. The pathology required him to make ever-more bizarre explanations of how it worked, eventually violating well-known laws of physics to do so.
In contrast, homeopathy existed before anyone attempted to do experiments to prove it. Those experiments started with the assumption it existed and demonstrated to their satisfaction that it did. In these cases, there is no developing pathology, nor is there any science in the normal meaning. For these examples, the term "pseudoscience" is descriptive.
The term was coined by and is notably discussed by Robert L. Park in his book Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud.Robert Park, Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud. Oxford University Press, 2000.

Patrick Moore (Greenpeace)

Patrick Moore is a former president of Greenpeace Canada, who left the organization because he disliked the "political direction" it was taking.
He's pro-nuclear power and pro-GMO, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSten18rI9A but unfortunately an anthropogenic climate change denier who now specializes in helping corporations greenwash their operations. In 2010, he joined Asia Pulp & Paper, which has been accused by activist groups of widespread (and illegal) rainforest clearing.Why is a former Greenpeace activist siding with Indonesia's logging industry?
==Climate change denialism==
More than once, Moore has publicly declared that "There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years."Michael Bastasch, Greenpeace co-founder: No scientific evidence of man-made global warming, The Daily Caller, 25-Feb-2014StevenCrowder, ACTUAL SCIENTIST: "Climate Change is a Scam!", YouTube, 1-May-2017
==Nuclear power==
He has declared that the US needs to increase its nuclear power production in order to reduce fossil fuel emissions, and cited this as one of his reasons for leaving Greenpeace.Co-Founder of Greenpeace Envisions a Nuclear Future, Wired, November 2007
Which is odd, if he doesn't believe that fossil fuel emissions are responsible for global warming.
==Argument with Greenpeace==
Since his departure from Greenpeace he and the organisation have engaged in a sometimes vicious war of words. A Greenpeace statement claimed that he turned his back on the organisation for money, calling him a "paid representative of corporate polluters" and saying he "exploits long-gone ties with Greenpeace to sell himself as a speaker and pro-corporate spokesperson, usually taking positions that Greenpeace opposes".Greenpeace Statement On Patrick Moore, July 6, 2010 Moore openly admits that he is funded by the Nuclear Energy Institute via the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition.
==Weed killer incident==
During a TV interview in 2014, Moore said of glyphosate, "You could drink a whole quart of it, and it won't hurt you." The interviewer then offered to actually bring him a glass of the stuff to drink on camera. Moore refused.Lobbyist Claims Monsanto's Roundup Is Safe To Drink, Freaks Out When Offered A Glass, on the YouTubes In the minds of the anti-glyphosate community, this was proof that the "glyphosate is safe" crowd was lying.
In reality, glyphosate is less toxic than table salt; however, commercial glyphosate preparations typically include other additives, such as surfactants (think soap) to make the target plants more readily absorb the compound. These surfactants can be more toxic than the glyphosate itself. Also, just because it's safe to drink doesn't mean it tastes good.
Since the time of that infamous interview, others have gone on to drink glyphosate on camera.Guy drinks Glyphosate / Roundup on Camera
