A school in Chicago is set to spend over $50,000 dollars replacing a year book because some students displayed the ‘OK’ hand sign.

Yes, really.

“Administrators at the Oak Park and River Forest High School announced it will spend a total of $53,794 to replace the 1,750 copies of “Tabula” after staff found 18 photos of students making an upside down OK hand sign,” reports Newsweek.

Despite officials noting that “various races, ethnicities, genders, and grades” were pictured making the sign and the obvious fact that they were playing the circle game, the gesture was treated “as a symbol of white supremacy” and the year book must be replaced to avoid “potentially subjecting our students to this trauma”.

“We are concerned that the gesture will become more closely associated with White supremacy in the future. Publishing the photos in question could not only harm students today but could subject students to potentially a lifetime of questions or penalty from colleges, employers, etc,” said Superintendent Joylynn Pruitt-Adams.

As we have exhaustively documented, teenagers who flash up the ‘OK’ hand gesture are not signaling their racism, they are playing the circle game, where the ‘OK’ hand sign is displayed below the waist to draw someone’s attention.

Any idiot with a summary knowledge of youth culture would know this. Tik-Tok, an app frequented by teenagers, is full of kids doing the ‘OK’ hand sign. None of them are dangerous white supremacists.

The notion that the ‘OK’ hand sign is secret code for white supremacy was a hoax invented by 4chan trolls to trick the media into believing the stunt.

Since then, the media has completely legitimized this absurd notion by affording it breathless, hysterical coverage and contriving fake controversies over the harmless gesture.

Last week, a verified Twitter journalist threatened to contact people’s employers because they did the ‘OK’ hand sign.

In a report about a Chicago Cubs fan who was banned for flashing up an ‘OK’ sign during a television broadcast, NBC News blurred out the image of the ‘offensive’ hand gesture.

Gay, liberal atheist British television presenter Stephen Fry was even accused of dog whistling for white supremacy because he did the OK hand sign to promote mental health awareness.

Hysteria runs rampant. Welcome to clown world.

Feminist Sophie Lewis has written a new book in which she argues that in order to ‘dismantle capitalism’ it’s necessary to ‘abolish the family’.

Lewis was interview by left-wing website the Nation under the headline Want to Dismantle Capitalism? Abolish the Family.

According to the piece, patriarchy and capitalism combined to produce alienated workers who became “instruments of production” for the men who lorded over them.”

This led to the “heteronormativity of familial relations” and must be combated by a “radical reconceptualization of pregnancy itself”.

If by this point, you’re wondering what the hell any of this is about, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Quite how the family unit is to be ‘abolished’ isn’t explained.

Lewis argues that pregnant women are subject to “biological and societal violence” and that “the ostensibly feminist objection to surrogacy arrangements underwrites the ossified and alienated familial relations that make capitalism possible.”

Still confused? Again, you’re not alone.

Capitalism and the family unit are two of the bedrocks of western society. As a fringe leftist, it’s unsurprising that Lewis wants to totally obliterate both.

The rest of the article is a blathering mess of clichéd ‘woke’ progressive nonsense and I won’t bore you with its contents.

A verified Twitter journalist is threatening to contact people’s employers because they did the ‘OK’ hand sign.

Yes, seriously.

Finnish Twitter user Iisak Selin responded to a tweet by journalist David MacDougall with a photo of himself using the hand gesture.

MacDougall responded by tweeting, “Hi Iisak – Do you have a job? I wonder what your employers think of you making a sign that has been co-opted by white supremacists and racists? Would be interesting to find out. Or maybe a future employer is interested…”

But MacDougall wasn’t finished.

He then responded to another individual who posted a photo of himself doing the OK hand sign with the same threat.

“I don’t know if these people have jobs, but I wonder what their employers would think about them making signs that are closely associated with & used by white supremacists and racists?” asked MacDougall.

That’s funny, because I wonder when MacDougall and his ilk will stop abusing their platforms to threaten to doxx people simply because they don’t like their politics and do some actual journalism.

Respondents on Twitter soon put MacDougall in his place.

What do your employers think about you trying to intimidate people on Twitter? Well it’s probably fine to them, all people in the media are snakes 👌🏻

I wonder what your employers think of you being gullible enough to believe a 4chan hoax. And then threatening someone else on Twitter. Hmm

As we document in the video below, the media was tricked into believing the OK hand sign was secret code for white supremacy as a result of a 4chan troll and has been whipping up hysteria about it ever since.
