I find this stuff so distressing that I just can't read it through to the end.....and not just emotional repulsion so much as a particularly dangerous form of existential anger.

This isn't just about intellectual debate or left/right ideological divides, but the nature of reality, being able to distinguish the boundaries of knowing fantasy from unknowing delusion, and understanding the line between what is tolerable and what isn't; between what is robust disagreement and the Wrath of God.

We are all moving into very dangerous territory. I think the people and institutions that are dragging us on this trajectory have no idea what an enormous risk they are taking, not just with us, but our children and our common future.

I couldn't get through it all. I makes me want to vomit to look at the garbage they are teaching kids. Given the amount of time and effort put into it, I can understand why kids cannot read, cannot do simple math and know nothing about history or geography. How did we let this happen? It is recent. My daughter is 27 and thus would have been going to elementary school from 2001-2008 and I never saw any of this crap coming home, nor did she ever mention any of this nonsense about pronouns, sexuality etc. If she had, I would have pulled her out of school and sent her to a private school, that could assure me it wasn't teaching this garbage. The thing is my husband and I had only the one child, two we were financiallly capable of paying tuition fees for private school. What avenues do other parents have? Well homeschool and that doesn't mean they have to do this on their own there are coops and support groups out there.https://www.ochec.org/join-a-homeschool-group/https://www.savvymom.ca/article/homeschool-activities-for-families-in-ottawa/ Maybe as classroom empty out because parents are sick of this bullshit, someone will wake up. Because it would seem the Millions March 4 Children didn't do it., with our Prime Ministers tweeting out that the marchers were haters and bigots, with NDP Leader marching with the counter-protesters and with union leaders, including teachers unions organizing and sponsor counter protesters across the country. This poison has infected so many aspect of our society it is beyond belief, but it has, and somehow we let if happen right under our noses.
