“Anti-White Racism”

There’s a lot of drama associated with this “family.”

After a year and a half of speculation that teachers in Canada’s Waterloo Region District, just outside of Toronto, were being taught the word “family” is racist, its school board was forced to come clean this month.

The controversy began in November 2023, when the district offered a professional development presentation titled “Dismantling Whiteness at W-O: Words Matter,” according to the CBC.

Reports earlier this month on the training included screen grabs from the presentation highlighting the word “family,” followed by an explanation claiming the word is “identified as harmful by our racialized students” and “values positions of (male) authority and hierarchy.”

The company allegedly required managers to reward employees “on the basis of their skin color alone and contrary to documented performance.”

Many believe that masculine industries, such as military and defense, are naturally immune to left-wing race and gender ideologies. This is mostly a myth. These institutions are organized according to prestige and profit—and when those signals point to “woke,” industry leaders have dutifully followed.

Take America’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin. As we have previously reported, after the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Lockheed adopted radical DEI policies and, in one instance, required white men in leadership positions to attend a racial reeducation program and atone for their “white male privilege.”

The 1964 Civil Rights Act made it illegal to base employment decisions on protected characteristics, including sex and race. It doesn’t contain a carveout for “reverse” discrimination against majority groups—nor does it create special, extra-demanding legal standards for such cases.

And yet courts in several of the nation’s appeals circuits have long made these cases harder to bring. In the Sixth Circuit, for instance, plaintiffs from majority groups have had to show “background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.”

After five years behind protective hoarding, the 1894 statue of Sir John A. Macdonald on the front lawn of the legislature is being uncovered.

Workers have put a protective coating on the bronze figure gazing south down University Avenue along with a plaque acknowledging his controversial role in creating residential schools where thousands of Indigenous children died after being taken from their families.

The statue was covered after repeated acts of vandalism.
