    Another man claiming to be a woman has claimed a title in women's swimming.

    Meghan Cortez-Fields, a swimmer at Ramapo College of New Jersey who identifies as a woman and swam for the men's team for three years, broke the girls' school record in the 100-yard butterfly, recording a time of 57.22 at the Cougar Splash Invitational. Cortez-fields also won the 200-yard individual medley and second place in the 200-yard butterfly.

    In 2022, Cortez-Fields told The Ramapo News, "I choose to tape my breasts because I feel it is very uncomfortable and kind of dehumanizing to swim without a top," adding that he was allowed to use the general women's locker room but not the women's team locker room.

    "It's telling me that you can either change in a space you feel uncomfortable with, but with your team, or change in a space you feel comfortable with, but without your team," Cortez-Fields charged. "Some of my teammates on the women's team change with me because they feel like, 'Oh, it's stupid. I'll just change out here with you. Why would I be in there when you're out here all alone?'"

    Cortez-Fields spoke of admiring University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, saying that Thomas "is an inspiration to me in that way, but also I felt so bad for her because I know exactly what she was going through. Even going into this season, I had a fear of succeeding, because I don't want what happened to her to happen to me."

    "I think I'm in a very unique position being one of the first [openly transgender athletes] here at Ramapo," Cortez-Fields continued. "I'm making [these posts] in hopes that people can see what I'm going through and to show I can do this. Trans people can do this, but at the same time there are some difficulties."

    Gary Orr, coach of the men's swim team, said, "Inclusive environments require trust and respect. As coaches, though, it's really important that we model these behaviors with our student athletes. We also have to be willing to learn and I learn from my student athletes every day."

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

As School Choice is beginning to take shape in North Carolina: What is your position on what it should evolve into?

  School Choice is only a distraction from the promise of real public education.

  School Choice, as it evolves into its best model to serve the public' s education needs, this benefit will provide choices outside of the historic construct supporting the public school monopoly.

  School Choice - I cannot see how it serves the Education Industry.
