Last October, the chair of the school board called on Neufeld to resign and the province’s education minister condemned him, when Neufeld wrote on Facebook calling members of B.C.’s education system “radical cultural nihilists” for their policies on gender rights and education. He also wrote that “letting little children choose to change gender is nothing short of child abuse” and included a photographic internet meme juxtaposing a father in 1997 telling a little boy he wouldn’t allow him to get his ear pierced with a mother in 2017 responding to her child wondering if he should be a girl by telling him “we’ll start hormone treatment immediately.” […]
Following announcement of the human rights complaint, on Jan. 18 the Chilliwack School District board urged Neufeld to resign. On Jan. 19, so did Fleming, the education minister. But Neufeld is hanging tough. In a published response, he states that he supports the principle of inclusion for LGBT children, but “I have simply taken issue with one facet of the SOGI 123 learning resources, the teaching of the controversial gender-fluid theory as fact.”

There was mention yesterday on Facebook of a “safe ingestion site” for the Tide Pod challenge. I cannot provide more details. Probs a hox.
One would do well to ask: Where exactly is all of this ‘Trans’ nonsense coming from in the first place? I know I can count on my hands the number of times I’ve encountered people who are bent like that and I’ve lived in some pretty liberal places, so I’m pretty sure it’s not based on any sort of real world issues. So WHAT then is driving it, and what are it’s REAL goals?
& on Twitter, Kate!
What’s this got to do with Reading, Writing and Arithmatic?
Trudeau’s charter.
It’s agenda is the breakdown of the family unit as per the Communist manifesto…reduction of the population numbers etc.
My guess is that teaching kids and encouraging them to question gender at an early age is all part of the effort to normalize pedophilia. How better to confirm the childs thoughts on gender and sexuality than to test them out with a ‘mentor’ or two from the LGBTQRGRFGWSAERFGSDF community.
& the realignment, the fluidity of what were the known concepts of “good and evil”
Absolutely, there are no absolutes. ect…
It may have something to do with Arithmetic…multiplication…a male hormones to female, a female hormones to male, neither of them can multiply. It’s hard to believe Mother Nature made so many mistakes with gender, it’s really massive.
I don’t know if there are any stats on gender benders in the animal kingdom, I’d be surprised if there hasn’t been studies done when it’s such a phenomenon for the species at the top of the food chain.
Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity!
Apparently, everyone has given up attempting to sort out who actually has gender dysphoria and who doesn’t. They’ve also completely thrown out child psychology, including how kids are susceptible to suggestion and fantasy. And…whatever happened to progressive’s adherence to the precautionary principle? Is putting children on puberty blockers with unknown medium and long term effects at very young ages, sterilisation and permanent, life changing surgery before adulthood really in children’s best interest. Especially considering studies showing high rates of desisting (being comfortable in their biological gender) and/or figuring out they’re gay or lesbian. There seems to be solid case for traditional psychological therapy and waiting.
Teaching acceptance of differences and respecting other people is admirable but this trans activism is looking more and more like abuse and experimentation on minor children. Why is our education system getting sucked into every progressive fad that comes along? Have none of them considered that the real spectrum we’re dealing with is not gender identity but the spectrum that runs from unrestrained activism, mass delusion and hysterical outbreaks to fads, social contagions and lookatme-itis
I’m thankful that I grew up as a tomboy in the lates 70s and 80s.
What’s this got to do with Reading, Writing and Arithmatic?
So long as they know only the letters LGBT and know how many genders there are, who cares? Everything else will be done by computers anyway, right?
Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity!
To the SJWs, there should be an infinite number of genders.
So self-delusion, fantasy, and mental illness … are … “human rights” ? Swirling the toilet bowl.
Sexual political issues stimulate the reptile brain stem of a lot of the left’s base. Gay marriage, birth control, abortion, transexuality and gender identity, sex education, all are used for stupid political motivation, sex sells, sex… “we’re for it, the other party’s against it” is probably very effective with a large segment of voters on the lower end of the IQ bell curve, they haven’t the smarts to grapple with any more sophisticated political issues.
Why is our education system getting sucked into every progressive fad that comes along?
Tinkering with the education system has been going on from almost the beginning. Look up who A. S. Neill was or the name Summerhill.
I encountered all sorts of advocacy for free-range, free-style teaching while I was a post-secondary instructor. You name the fad, chances are I heard about it.
I am afraid you are right. And Hollywood is producing the propaganda films in support of gay pedophilia at a frightening clip. I believe another one is up for an Oscar this year …
Culture meet Sewer.
The institutional left considers 1984 an operating manual rather than a fictional novel warning of a potential dystopian future. CUPE, being a “legal” form of organized crime, acts as their jackbooted thug-enforcers in this case through the disgraceful powers of the HRCs. The school board trustee is elected and is accountable to his constituents which is more than the thought control promoting “progressive nihilists” running the (mis)education system have going for them. Vouchers and Charter schools if not outright abolishment in favour of the free market.
And who controls Hollywood, and who writes the education curriculum?
The Jesuits know…
The education system from pre-K to the doctorate level is much like The Borg. A few high ranking progressives come up with a radical new idea and the rest of the education collective hive mind instantly imports and implements the agenda. Anyone who says “hey, wait a minute” is demonized and destroyed.
The Borg of Education.
All this crap and it is crap is the drive of socialist governments who want to interfer in and control every facet of our lives. A critical part of their agenda is using teachers to bring these stupid, wasteful and disastrous policies into our children’s classrooms. Junk like gender studies, diversity, special places, snowflakes and anti-white policies in attempts to destroy our world leading culture to me is just criminal. Never mind that students are failing in math and English.
This is facism where the government dictates who we are, what companies can pay in wages and benefts to their own staff, who can come to Canada in huge migration to forever change the best country in the world to another sh*t hole.
Anyone who says “hey, wait a minute” is demonized and destroyed.
Yup. I got into trouble with my department administrators for not going along with the latest fad-du-jour. I was adamant that the way I was taught in school and, later, in university served me and many of my generation well, so why not keep using it? After all, if it works, don’t fix it.
Unfortunately, those same administrators became rabid advocates for those fads-du-jour in order to get noticed by their masters and, possibly, be promoted and amply rewarded for their devotion.
I was equally as stubborn while I was a grad student. I often butted heads with profs and teaching assistants about how things were done, particularly since I had several years of industrial experience and most of them had next to none. But, I was almost always ignored since I didn’t have the magic 3 letters behind my name at the time.
Brainwashing starts by destroying a person`s identity. We derive identity from a range of sources, including family, nation, religion, and sexual identity. I believe it is the NWO folks who are methodically attacking many traditional institutions and beliefs with the intention of putting in place a totalitarian one-world government. I know, I know — tin foil hat and all that. But you need only look at some of the totalitarian efforts in history as communism and fascism have taken over countries to see that this makes sense. A very basic premise around brainwashing is to erase vestiges of a previous identity. I cannot think of a better explanation for what is happening. The boiling frogs on the left won`t get a clue until it is too late.
Your thinking is perfectly logical. It is no coincidence that the same moronic and destructive policies are put in place globally by the governments of different countries, at all levels down to municipal, and at the same time. Be it the $15 minimum wage (regardless of currency), “safe” injection sites for addicts, carbon taxes to fight the AGW scam, etc.
The “NWO” is real. The only question is who is the NWO?
They’re the same group that indoctrinate the teachers of your children. The same group that decides which politicians may win. The same group that sits in all the top positions of world power that aren’t decided by elections. The same group that owns the judiciary.
The same group that has had this power before.
Before Martin Luther.
In the USA there is no system of education. We have a muddle of often conflicting federal and state laws and democratically-elected school boards. One cannot logically complain about a broken system when there was never a system.
it’s all about ‘choice’;
‘pro-choice’
‘choose yer gender’
so why not ‘choose’ your snacks?
my generation avoided the f-word because with the wrong audience, the f-word coming *out* got followed by the bar of soap going *in*.
reminds me of that scene in ‘christmas story’ where the mother (Melina Dillon) puts her tongue to the soap to see for herself what she just subjected the kid to. blechhh!!!
lol !!!! sigh. sign of the times . . . .
I think the people who believe in the masters of the universe conspiracy theories fall into the same trap as authoritarians and utopians who want to perfect humans. The both believe the blank slate theory – that all humans can be made to do anything under the proper conditions. That we are infinitely malleable.
I doubt it. Humans have some hardwiring that is impossible to change en masse. Transgendered people have noticed that forcing others to call you a man or woman and pretend there’s absolutely no differences between biology and self-identity has not been able to force people to be sexually attracted to transpeople. Straight men are attracted to xx females, straight women to xy males, gay men to xy gay men, lesbians to xx lesbian women. Transpeople only have other transpeople as potential mates and even they don’t seem to be attracted to each other. That’s only scratching the surface of our hardwiring.
Even if there was some deluded group of NWO types, all they seem to be succeeding in the doing is convincing the most gullible people on the college-educated left to take themselves out of the gene pool. The next generation will then consist of less gullible people (libertarians, classical liberals, centrists), less educated, poorer people and religious conservatives. Fewer suckers born every minute, so to speak. Populist movements would increase.
re: that Canada health “do not eat” advert. You can always count on the government to come up with a solution to a problem that does not exist. For actual, existing problems, though, not so much.
Some of the curses…
Deu 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Deu 28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
Deu 28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
Deu 28:67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Kids should try something original and unusual with tide pods. Wash their own damn clothes.
I don’t know why but this sounds familiar. Ah, yes, here it is:
Adonai, God, gave [Adam] this order: “You may freely eat from every tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You are not to eat from it, because on the day that you eat from it, it will become certain that you will die.”
— Genesis 2 (CJB)
The rest is history.
It’s not by accident the official seal of the US Dept. of Education is a tree…it’s certainly not the Tree of Life, they don’t want anything to do with God. It’s their copy of the Babylonian

You may be right that in the end people will not go for this stuff, but that does not stop the elite from trying to push their agenda. The downside is that it creates a lot of havoc (currently one example is immigration especially in Europe) in the short term and sometimes it creates chaos which takes many years to undo (e.g. Communism in Russia). I believe that the goal is global Communism. Just like Communism it is wrapped up in attractive sounding ideas, but it ultimately destructive as it fails to account for human nature. These days, some of those ideas are reflected in the positive sounding “Sustainable Development” goals. I would not describe the NWO as “masters of the universe”, but they are people with a lot of power, a lot of money and an agenda. I have concerns about their level of influence which is considerable. They are the ones funding some of the BLM protests and Antifa and sowing the seeds of anger and discontent in many places. Ultimately people may balk (some have already done so in the States), but too many are deluded in the mean time. Just look at the whole global warming nonsense. That ruse should have ended many years ago. Instead, we in Canada are now looking at a carbon tax and in Ontario exorbitant energy costs. People are annoyed, but on it goes and some people have convinced themselves this is necessary. People may wise up at some point, but in the mean time a lot of damage will have been done.
Who is that `Do not Eat`ad intended for? Surely not children? Toddlers who might eat this cannot read. Also, the ad rather makes those dish washing capsules look tasty. They need something like a big black X (that is if this campaign is needed at all.) Ultimately, though, what exactly is the purpose? Surely adults are not eating these — well, come to think of it, we do have a lot of gullible leftists in our country.
“Why is our education system getting sucked into every progressive fad that comes along? ”
Because parents don’t speak out.
Good training for future drug runners. The smart ones put the tide packs into condoms.
“It’s agenda is the breakdown of the family unit as per the Communist manifesto…” Bingo!
See Alexandra Kollontai.
Greg, Dave, and Gary D have great corollaries.
The problem is public schooling, or maybe even schooling in general. Captive bored audience.
Why do school boards even exist? Just abolish them.
On second thought, you have a point. People with radical agendas, an authoritarian mindset and access to political power can do a lot of damage even if they fail.
The bill for all his fecklessness is going to be horrendous …
Saw this in National Post…
Wow, no kidding!
You can waste time and energy fighting a system that will run you in circles of bureacracts and paperwork *or* you can use that time and energy to assist/teach your own children.
Yes, you are going to have to teach your children to move to the U.S.A. to get a job. There won’t be any jobs here.
Andrew Coyne has a good article in today’s National Post, I suggest you check it out.
These Liberals are bad for business. We need to vote them out fast.
Yes it is Andrew Coyne who is saying that the bill for all HIS
FECKLESSNESS, IS GOING TO BE HORRENDOUS…. see today’s National Post.
Another reason to nuke the post-secondary educational system into oblivion:

According to that group’s application, heterosexism is oppressive and must be resisted, along with classism, racism, and sexism.
You can support Mr. Neufeld here:
barry_neufeld@sd33.bc.ca
My e-mail of support:
Good afternoon, Mr. Neufeld;
An e-mail may not assist in any great way, but I’d like you to know that I fully support your position in opposition to SOGI 123. Our schools have been ‘captured’ by the ‘progressive’ left over several decades and have now become experimental labs for their undeniably radical agenda. For people who expound on ‘science’ when it comes to global warming , they are certainly ‘deniers’ of the science of biology and the cultural, social and biological reality of humankind over thousands of generations.
A type of mass hysteria and a desire to be part of a progressive trend has led us to a very dangerous era for children of today and our society tomorrow. I urge you to stand fast despite the very personal and unwarranted smears you are undoubtedly facing. You know who you are, so accept those slurs and slanders with the strength of character you continue to demonstrate. The too silent majority I believe, stands with you.
Sincerely;
Neo had a good one.. be on the lookout for teenagers horking their guts up while blowing bubbles from their a r s e .
I have a tide pod challenge for millenials: put it in the damn dishwasher!
