(reposted) The @OntHumanRights Commission has released a new action plan for education, "Dreams Delayed: Addressing Systemic Anti-Black Racism in Ontario’s Public Education System", where Anti-Colonialism and Critical Race Theory take center stage. Let's read some choice excerpts, shall we? Common sense Trustees will be forced to comply with social justice ideology.

The Toronto District School Board @tdsb promoting Dr. Andrew B. Campbell on their Human Library podcast. Multiple studies have found that equity, anti-oppression, anti-racist, and DEI ideology negatively impacts learning and creates rather than reduces bigotry. More in comments.

1/ 🥳Incredible! Trump just released an EO to deradicalize K12 education. I read it and it's better than anything I could have ever imagined!

Here's a short thread summarizing my highlights. 2/ To say his team are on target is the understatement of the century!!!

"parents have witnessed schools indoctrinate their children in radical, anti-American ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight.  Such an environment operates as an echo chamber, in which students are forced to accept these ideologies without question or critical examination.  In many cases, innocent children are compelled to adopt identities as either victims or oppressors solely based on their skin color and other immutable characteristics.  In other instances, young men and women are made to question whether they were born in the wrong body and whether to view their parents and their reality as enemies to be blamed.  These practices not only erode critical thinking but also sow division, confusion, and distrust, which undermine the very foundations of personal identity and family unity."

1/ Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedagogy (CRRP) is now endemic in school across Ontario, thanks to Patrick Case's tenure at the MoE's Equity Secretariat. Gloria Ladson-Billing's CRRP was designed to awaken "critical consciousness", or to view the world through a far-left political lens. 2/ Teacher, Karen Devonish-Mazotta of the Ontario Teachers Federation, explains how awakening "critical consciousness" or Marxist consciousness, is a crucial element of this pedagogy. It's designed to produce student activists.

🧵Education is in trouble. Someone has to fix it. I guess I'm just as good a someone as any. Here are my top recommendations for education in Canada. 1/ Promote Positive-Sum Education: Transition from zero-sum, Marxist-inspired education to a positive-sum model. Focus on resilience despite challenges, rather than incentivizing victimization. Shift from coercive mandates to “celebrate diversity” to a classical liberal approach that emphasizes “tolerating diversity.” 2/

🧵Ontario teachers are being asked to deliver anti-racist and global citizenship training via a program called MyBlueprint.ca – the program is entirely based in the far-left race-Marxist pedagogies. The program is designed to create “antiracist” allies, or in normal-speak, to turn children in to activists because “One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequalities, as an antiracist” (Ibram X. Kendi). Dissent is not permitted, lest you be a racist, of course. 1/5

🧵Who is Pat Case? He's an New Left era Marxist and member of the Canadian Communist Party that - not surprisingly - used to lead the ministry's "Equity secretariat". If you're wondering how the racist propaganda spread to fast in Ontario schools, look no further than Mr Case. A thread 1/6
tvo.org/video/focusing… Mr Case started his political career as a trustee at the TSDB. He was (still is?) a trade unionist and "community" activist that developed the early race relations policies at the TDSB. These policies were rooted in New Left Marxist thinking popular at the time. 2/6

The Trans Affirming Toolkit is an anti-oppression education resource for Ontario educators. What is anti-oppression education? Let's examine the seminal text cited by the authors. TLDR it's brainwashing.
Kumashiro (2000) Toward a Theory of Anti-Oppressive Education, p.20 /1 Unlearning has a chapter in the toolkit. It means teaching kids to resist rational thinking so they may ponder how they themselves enable oppression. The goal is achieving a state of cognitive dissonance ("paradoxical condition of learning") and the inevitable mental crisis. /2

1/ Queer Theorist, Julia Sinclair-Palm from Carleton University explains how queer clubs provide excellent opportunity for adults to initiate kids into intersectional neo-Marxist revolutionary praxis - a video thread.

2/ Queer Theory is opposed to all norms, boundaries, and principles, on principle. Queerness is a refusal to fit into established norms, or to compromise with society, all while actively working to remove boundaries.

1/ Let's look at some myths about trans kids from the Canadian Teacher's Federation - a resource recommended by the Trans Affirming Toolkit for Ontario Educators

2/ Normalizing stealth leads to "if you don't date me you're a bigot" and, in some notable cases, rape by deceit. This is not good for the trans person or anyone else. It's lying.

🧵The FOI I filed in August finally arrived. The York Region District School board in Ontario paid a queer activist organization, The 519, $23,817.51 to write their Gender Expressions and Identity policy. Let's look into what they got for their money. 1/7 Here's the unique knowledge that The 519 invoiced the YRDSB to justify males in female spaces.
