The Courtroom Drama of Biological Science Versus Transgenderism That Brings the Scopes Monkey Trial Up To Date For The Twenty-First Century! Fully funded on Kickstarter, then cancelled and re-platformed on FundMyComic. Featured on Fox News, The Blaze, and Bounding Into Comics. Finally Available in Print. What’s The Wise of Heart all about? He wanted to test the new Gender Awareness in Academia (GAIA) Act, but high-school biology teacher, Mike Andrews got more than he bargained for. Arrested and thrown in jail for the crime of teaching the biology of sex determination and for refusing to affirm a student’s gender identity, Mike faces a show trial amid a media circus. Who can he trust? The school superintendent who set him up? His defense attorney who shares a secret history with the prosecutor? His girlfriend who may not have his best interests in mind? Her mother who is out to destroy him? Mike will have to learn that winning the game sometimes requires writing your own rules, and success comes only to The Wise of Heart. The Wise of Heart updates the classic real-life courtroom drama of science versus religion to the present day, showing the conflict between science and the academic thought police. He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the wind: and the foole shall be servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11:29 Kickstarter abruptly suspends comic project for 'defying transgenderism' 'The Wise of Heart' follows a teacher challenging a law forbidding the teaching of the biology of sex... Kickstarter abruptly canceled a project that focused on a fictionalized depiction of a biology teacher challenging a law that forbids him to question gender affirmation. Fox News May 25, 2023 Kickstarter suspends illustrated novel 'defying transgenderism' after project was fully funded Crowdfunding platform Kickstarter recently suspended an illustrated novel project about "defying transgenderism" after the campaign was fully funded.... The illustrated novel, "The Wise Heart," follows the story of a biology teacher who is "thrown in jail for defying transgenderism" and subsequently "faces a show trial amid a media circus." The Blaze May 26, 2023 One evening in the early summer of 2022, I settled in to watch Inherit the Wind on YouTube. Not the 1960 film starring Spencer Tracy, but rather the 1988 television movie version starring Jason Robards and Kirk Douglas. I got a few minutes into watching it, and I had a sudden epiphany. This would make a great story set in the present day, featuring a high school biology teacher caught up in the transgender craze arrested for teaching the facts of biological science in defiance of a state law requiring unquestioning gender affirmation. I turned off the movie, and instead, I hunted down the transcript for the Scopes Monkey Trial. And so, The Wise of Heart was born. The real-life story of the creation of the story has twists and turns nearly as exciting as the story itself - deplatforming, cries of transphobia, accusations that this story is "explicit or pornographic material," and worse. The crowdfunding campaign was fully funded with a few days to go when the woke leviathan took notice and the ironically named "Trust and Safety" team at Kickstarter cancelled the project. Fortunately, the project since found a home at FundMyComic and completed crowdfunding there. These real-life events only highlight the importance of The Wise of Heart and the issues the story raises. Is this story "hateful... promoting discrimination, bigotry, or intolerance toward marginalized groups?" And who is being intolerant of whom? Well, read on and find out. I'm a scientist, an engineer, an inventor, and an entrepreneur. I'm a physicist, not a physician, and the direct help I can provide those struggling with the questions surrounding the transgender controversy is limited. However, I am also a storyteller, and by weaving a fictional narrative that brings these issues to life, I aim to do my part to uphold and defend what is good, beautiful, and true.
