What a horrific and disgusting way to treat a teacher. And apart from that, what does this teach students? That they are not at school to learn, but to force their own preconceived ideologies on everyone else, truth, logic, debate, intellectual curiosity, etc, be damned. God forbid they come across a contrary idea and have to think about it and perhaps change their minds. I will be emailing the trustees.
The assault against logic, reason, commonsense and most importantly truth has never been more evident in the case of Jim McMurtry. Boards of education are microcosms of totalitarianism which is a political disease slowly infecting Canada's democratic institutions. Generally, Board of Education members start out with good intentions, but position and power gradually influences thought in a negative manner. When combined with the toxic effects of herd mentality the result is both lethal and predictable. As Mikhail Bakunin once wrote, "He who is given power will inevitably become an oppressor and exploiter of society". Jim McMurtry's unjust termination is evident proof of this.

First off my sincere thank you to Mr. McMurtry, for teaching with the courage of his convictions and setting an example. I'm sure many Canadians are increasingly asking themselves why is this happening and what is the meaning behind what some, including myself have thought, seems like mass hysteria. We seem to be constantly thrown off all social norms to the point of discombobulation. Why does my experience with another district school board in BC reflect a similar bizarre relationship as a parent. The power differential has changed the dynamic of our society and culture. What do we know and trust in our present democracy post pandemic? "Top Down" policy will be issued at intervals as edicts of benevolent, elite, who represent the chosen few. All who question, break ranks or become vocal opponents, are now dissident voices, deemed, " a fringe minority". The public wants answers and the vast majority fear for their own well-being, jobs, stability, station (what will my neighbours think?) Huxley comes to mind... where were you at the groupthink aka teams meeting, we voted for our collective leader, he is the only one. Here take soma, you'll feel better, when you see the rainbow.

I am wondering, did the Teacher's Union not stand with McMurtry? The BCTF is a very strong Union, supposed to represent all their members, and this seems like a clear-cut case of wrongful dismissal. I think at least there are likely grounds for a lawsuit, or a charter rights violation. Can anyone comment on this?
Apparently the truth does not matter today only falsehoods told by idiots and clowns fortunately for me & others like me can tell the actual truth without fear of any retribution by the woke and those alleged graves of so called genocide victims is one big fat lie being told by people who are only interested in grabbing millions of $ from the poor tax payers who are forced to work for a living. I dont hold a job I am retired so G.F.Y self.

How is this different from the Maoist cultural revolution in China?

Distant, woke…but my local rep is great.
