Too bad the alternative to nonsensical Leftist candidates was an actual insane person.

It's not fact and not supported by the majority of Americans who are already subject to information warfare by the MSM.
When the same % of people agree Trump is insane that agreed Biden was too old to be in office, I'll probably be on the train with you at that point.
But it simply is not true at this point and is a disservice to debate to throw those things out there.

In general I don't like the idea of any subject being labeled

As "We don't talk about it." I think that was a very poorly worded way to express what is, at it's heart, a pretty simple sentiment. We don't waste class time debating something for which there is no evidence. We don't debate if the holocaust happened (which, a person with half a brain would know is what was being said in the video, rather than some odd assertion that they were implying the holocaust didn't happen). We should (As a society) provide evidence and historical fact instead of leaving it open ended.
Now, we may disagree on climate change. I'm not a scientist, but folks whoa re and who know well more than me on the issue seem to have come to a large scale consensus on it. With that said in a science class geared toward the issue in a higher level schooling environment I don't think there's anything wrong (at all) with a true honest discussion of the issue.
What I do find interesting about this discussion is that it flips on it's head the right's advocacy not to discuss issues they seem uncomfortable with. (Don't discuss sexual preferences, or gender identities, or slavery, or racism, or other historical wrongs with the US).
I think that in proper context everything should be open and available for discussion. But just like we don't let little johnny argue "2+2=10" in math class, we do have to express that some things are genuinely considered true and axiomatic. The climate IS changing. People are gay. Slavery did happen. Context for all of those things certainly should be discussed and even allow for some honest debate... But at the point of open denial of known facts education becomes a farce.

Those are fair points but we already know where taking about "sex" or "gender" winds up in public schools these days and it isn't pretty, especially when it's teachers shoveling their propaganda to second graders as opposed to an actual "proper context" environment where the kids are much older and able to discern reality from a weirdo teacher.
Similarly a nice, fact based convo about climate change could be insightful to kids but instead it's used to convince many young children the planet will be uninhabitable by the time they're adults leading many to developing mental health issues as they're propagandized into being the next wave of Greta Thunburgs.
So it's not exactly the topics of the conversations that are the issue as much as that those issues have been hijacked by creepy activist weirdos who are more concerned about graduating Democrat voters than people who can actually read or write.

You think children are developing mental health issues by learning that

climate change is a real thing? Do you have kids? Because that isn't in the top 100 of things they worry about, regardless of who discusses it with them.

I do think there is a kernel of truth in what you're saying

And though I disagree greatly with the notion that discussing gender and sexual orientation are somehow driven by "cr4eepy activist weirdos." I also find it odd that "activist" is sandwiched into your insult, as activism is a central tenant to impoving things (and there are certainly things that need ot be improved, though we may disagree what those things are).
But, I find an ounce of truth in your worry about some of the mental health issues arising in our children. While not issues of mental illness, I do imagine the current climate of stress and worry probably does lead to poor mental health environments. But, the answer to that is NOT to pretend the issues that are stressful do not exist... it's to provide solutions or at least tangible and articulable pathways forward.
Denying that a certain percentage of kids in the classroom are dealing with issues of gender identity and sexual orientation doesn't help those folks (and nor does acknowledging it harm the others).
Denying the climate is changing doesn't help them.
Denying that the fiscal outlook for the next generation is not as strong as it should be is NOT helping them.
If you care about the mental health of kids, you have to acknowledge they are smart enough to recognize the problems and issues in the world, and treat them as mature enough to handle a discussion of the issues and the paths forward.

do you believe anybody actually clicks on your Instagram links?
Insider tip: IG isn't, and hasn't ever been, for news.

I appreciate that you've been groomed to fear the radical left

And that this fear has been used by MAGA to control you and get your vote. It's all BS. There are fringe groups on both the left and the right who don't have any real power and are amplified by both sides to sow division. It's also BS to think donny cares about what you care about. Hes playing a part on TV; that's all he's ever done and all he's good for. Ask yourself why he keeps having rallies? He doesn't have another election to win. All he wants to do is run for office; he has no interest in actually governing.
