License? Where do teachers get the license to indoctrinate and exploit their captive audience of innocent, gullible young people? A lot of what we’re reading here is certainly unbecoming of professional educators. What do their codes of ethics say? Are there codes of ethics for teachers?
Teachers claim they have autonomy HOW they teach the curriculum, but how far can they go? As an active member of the Anti-Oppression Teachers’ Collective Annie Ohana claims that her work at her school has already made L A Matheson Secondary a hub for social justice. She unquestionably models a political agenda and transmits that to students, but is that the role of a teacher? Aren’t public school teachers supposed to present balanced, appropriate material?
Good that this article mentions Sir Roger Scruton as being a critic of modern education when he critiques ugly modern art. Not one to mince words, Sir Roger also had this to say about modern sex education in schools: “Modern sex education is conceived as a ‘liberation’ from fear, doubt, and disease - a ‘how to’ manual for children, which is also a form of vicarious paedophilia for their teachers.”
And why is the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat prominent on the teacher’s classroom wall? Do we recall the recent court case in Quebec where a school board is being sued for $1.5M by parents who object to their children’s art being sold online without permission? That art was in the style of Basquiat.
Why has public schooling become a cover for so much questionable practices? Keep on exposing and maybe we’ll either get serious reforms or (preferably) more choices to exit a deteriorating system.
Strong cogent and insightful writing by James Pew. You are one of the strong ones James. You dig deep and understand the nuance and history behind what's happening. You also defend those on the front lines with courage to speak up. Chanel is a kind and couragous woman. Thank you James.
Glad to hear about the dissent against Ohana in the school. She’s a dangerous person, particularly because she has access to children’s minds, but also because she’s able to use the MSM to reframe anyone who disagrees with her as hateful.
It is telling that Annie Ohana has a poster in her classroom which compares prostitution to other jobs and suggests criticism of sex work is but a moralistic view of sexuality. When she says she is a pansexual, she is really saying to kids: “Don’t pan any type of sex until you try it.”
A teacher promoting prostitution in a classroom full of children is surely against some actual rule? I don’t know what the rules around classroom politics are for K-12 teachers but promoting prostitution to children must be actually breaking a hard regulation, I would think.
Wokism, just like most radical ideologies, is based on lies. So, telling the truth becomes the enemy. The result is the normalization of treating others badly who disagree, and is justified.
Go Chanel Go! We are the majority, young, old and in-between. I am a senior. I, too, am fighting against cultural Marxism, where I can. At the moment, the church.
The various derogatory names called out are meant to trigger us to negate them. It's a childish trap. Let's not fall for it. It's time to demand, they stop name-calling as though we are all on a primary playground and instead, present a better argument. " Anyone can tear down a building, but it takes a construction engineer and an architect to build a new one." (Dr. Phil).

Chanel is a genuine Canadian hero. Its amazing how ordinary people come out of the woodwork and step up when their society is threatened.

Chanel is exactly right - courage is what is required.
And Ohana is a woke radical propagandizing to children - unacceptable.
Thank you folks for continuing to bring these issues to light.
