I’ll be the first to admit that gender identity can be confusing. Hell, it was only a few years ago that I learned that gender was separate from sexual preferences. But, I’m open. I ask questions. I’m trying to learn.

That being said, Bill O’Reilly recently aired this segment about the University of California’s new policy that allows students to choose from six different gender categories.

This was sent to me by a friend who pointed out that O’Reilly said that “I think that Satan might be behind this.” That was obviously a joke, and not that big a deal. I’ve made it clear, that I’m a big fan of comedy, and I have no problem with people joking about issues as a way to help educate the masses (Richard Pryor and George Carlin did this beautifully).

The most offensive part of this segment is how many times O’Reilly says, I don’t know. Love him or hate him, Bill is a smart guy and could easily look this stuff up.

But of course, O’Reilly’s mind is made up, and he doesn’t want to learn about these issues. He’s a perfect example that the best way to shut off your mind is to say, “I don’t know,” and then never seek the answer.
