Many thanks for this very entertaining and comedic article. I was in stitches when I read Sara Savola's comments. In an earlier generation these people would have been recognized as lunatics. Today, for some very strange reason, they consider themselves Progressives. To me, I see this group as cultists looking for a modern day Charles Manson to lead them. Very sad epoch for Canadian education and the students who suffer as a result of this madness. Clearly, education has gone off the rails or as Ozzie Osbourne would accurately say, "Mental wounds not healing, who and what's to blame. I'm going off the rails on a crazy train."
Thank you yet again James for making the public aware of what is going on in a publicly funded establishment that was meant to teach our youth for being productive adults to help make Canada prosper
D.I.E. (Diversion, Inequity, Exclusion) is a pox on the land WE call Canada. There is little coincidence in my estimation with the rise of this utter nonsense on our sensibilities over the last 8 years with the read to kids in blackface and wear a neo-(insert offensive costume of your choice) special occasion suit... The question is when are Canadians going to come to their senses and reject and eject those holding office for this travesty?
As a teacher, I can confirm every word written by James Pew. Schools have become brainwashing centres. But there is indeed pushback, and young Josh Alexander is a sterling example.
Love this. The reasoning I think behind drag time story hour type things and bullying (if there is any) is maybe that drag types are kind of archetypal 'outsiders' and thus represent all victims of bullying. Maybe. If people believe that, and support it, I would say they are really useful idiots to the queer theorists who are trying to break down all social norms, in the search for utopia. We all know where that search ends.....
There are not "prostitute story hours" because ladies of the night do not want to read to children dressed in their work attire. If they did, would it be bullying and bigoted to deny them? After all, although they could be dressed almost in the same way as drag queens, like the queens they might claim that their story telling was simply to entertain, and to let children know that everybody should be accepted for who they are. Prostitutes are also "archetypal outsiders" as Mr. Lightfoot wrote, and they have been seriously victimized. However, they don't seem anxious to read to children.
Good points, True. "Sex Worker" is the correct term. I don't see it as being any more bizarre than the current drag queens reading to kids situation though. However, these days, I'm just an older guy yelling at the clouds.
Sex worker is the current favored term, but I would submit that prostitute is entirely coercive and that one's body cannot be a work place. Sorry, my sarcasm got in the way there!

Josh Alexander is so inspiring! So obvious that kids are tired of this nonsense.

Perfect headline to describe the sad state of affairs in public schooling.

I completely agree. I thought the US education system was worse but maybe not. Equity is just marxism rebranded for the 21st century.

I think you mean "sex worker story hour", Jack. And what an empowering symbol of sex positivity that would be, right??
