Brilliant!! Brava! As a teacher in a deep blue US state not far from Canada, I applaud Chanel Pfah's courage in speaking out against the groupthink that has quickly overtaken K-12 schools here as well. Her analogies to previous historical slides into totalitarianism are spot on. In "Diversity Equity and Inclusion" professional development sessions we spend so much time discussing the words we are allowed and not allowed to use I thought Mao's little red book might actually be more efficient at least. Meanwhile our adolescents, especially, are suffering from deep despair and family turmoil and and an unprecedented number of young women are contemplating cutting off their breasts. This is not progress(ive). Gratitude to all those standing up for democratic principles!

A small but important spark of light in a "profession" that has grown dark.
