“They really do want your children”

A Catholic high school student in Renfrew, Ontario, has filed an appeal with his school board after being suspended over his interactions with transgender students. He alleges that the suspension constitutes discrimination against his religious beliefs.

Josh Alexander, a Grade 11 student at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, told The Epoch Times he is standing up for girls at his school who feel uncomfortable with biological males who identify as females using the girls’ washroom. One such female student told The Epoch Times, “for my own privacy and safety … I felt like I had to say something.”

A teacher in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) has bragged on social media about having a Pride flag and depictions of Jesus Christ as transgender in a prayer space in his class.

Parents demanding answers about the Halton school board’s handling of a teacher controversially clad in revealing clothing have been denied a request for a special school council meeting with the acting principal.

The desire to be heard, and the recent change in leadership, are the latest developments at Oakville Trafalgar High School, which has been the centre of a controversy garnering global headlines since photos circulated online showing a trans teacher with oversized prosthetic breasts and protruding nipples.

Halton trustees have ordered the director of education to create and implement a “professionalism policy” for staff — that includes standards of dress — by March.

The move came just two weeks after the education minister weighed in on the controversy over a trans teacher who wears large prosthetic breasts with protruding nipples, saying there is “profound concern” with the way the board has handled the situation.

I bet Big Tits is declared a legacy deviant and allowed to retain its teats.

Conservatives have been calling for the defunding of National Public Radio (NPR) for years now because of its blatant political bias, but now they have a new reason to deprive the news outlet of its federal funding.

Children can’t be trusted to choose an identity

I submit: the traditional concept of “building character” is out the window.

Once upon a time, a fully realised person was something one became. Entailing education, observation, experimentation, and sometimes humiliation, “coming of age” was hard work. When the project succeeded, we developed a gradually richer understanding of what it means to be human and what constitutes a fruitful life. This ongoing project was halted only by death. Maturity was the result of accumulated experience (some of it dire) and much trial and error (both comical and tragic), helping explain why wisdom, as opposed to intelligence, was mostly the preserve of the old. We admired the “self-made man”, because character was a creation — one constructed often at great cost. Many a “character-building” adventure, such as joining the Army, was a trial by fire.

Hundreds of teachers in the third-largest school district in the country reportedly sexually groomed, assaulted, and raped students over a period of decades.

According to a new report from the Chicago School District’s Office of the Inspector General, over 600 “adult-on-student” misconduct allegations were filed with its office, and the office has substantiated more than half of them.

As we reported in this space in September, Canada’s reputation as an international woke embarrassment was buttressed by the enormous fake bust of an allegedly “transgender” shop teacher at a high school in Ontario’s Halton School District this fall. Photos went viral of a blond bewigged man strolling about with enormous Z-size prosthetic breasts strapped to his chest, replete with large protruding nipples. The school board announced that it would be standing behind the teacher (presumably this is the only safe place to stand around him), and the disbelief of pundits and the barely concealed incredulity of newscasters worldwide was chalked up to transphobia.

The rise of this new, politically correct term for paedophiles should set off alarm bells.

Won’t someone think of the feelings of paedophiles? It seems some public bodies have, and they are willing to change the language of their output to accommodate the sensitivities of this most dangerous group. Between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, Police Scotland were blasted for referring to those who abuse children as ‘minor-attracted people’, or ‘MAP’, in a report for a European Commission project. It seems that, just as fat people are now euphemistically referred to as ‘plus size’, and men in dresses have been rebranded as ‘transwomen’, child abusers are considered, by some, to be just another minority whose preferences deserve respect.

A Michigan court ruling returns the spotlight to a controversial subject.

Do parents have the right to know what their children are being taught in public school?

Parents say yes; teachers say no.

Of course, it’s not quite that simple. The description of the latter party can be tweaked to “teachers unions” — although you don’t hear many individual teachers bucking the union line — but the dichotomy remains: parents want to know what’s going on in their kids’ classrooms, and teachers, administrators, and their union bosses would rather not tell them.

Protesters demonstrating against a drag queen reading hour event for kids in New York City have been met by more than 100 counter-protesters.

Guardians of Divinity, who describe themselves as ‘God’s Army,’ marched towards Jackson Heights Library, in Queens, where a Drag Story Hour event was being held on Thursday afternoon.

But they were met with a larger crowd defending the event in the latest clash in the city following a similar event last week that saw Council Member Erik Bottcher’s neighbor assaulted.
