There is so much that one can write in support of Chanel Pfahl’s brilliant, insightful article. Suffice it to say here that education is getting worse. In Social Studies, for example, it’s been over a decade that kids have been taught that their country is a racist and genocidal place. Kids are taught to take a dim view of most things, including themselves if they are white or heterosexual or Christian or a proud Canadian. People need to challenge every woke, virtue-signalling zealot they come across, especially those running our institutions.

I thought about this more, and will add another comment about this wheel of 'privilege and power'. The only point of this kind of thing is to create enmity between people, and stoke resentment. Its not different than what certain people did in Rwanda, emphasizing supposed differences between Hutus and Tutsis. Stoking resentment by emphasizing that one group had been hard-done-by by the other. Look how that ended. These ideas are social poison.
