The political Left, consciously or unconsciously, is, in its obsessive quest for Inclusiveness, literally assailing every positive aspect of Western Civilization in its attempt to prove that we’re all really the same. Rarely a day goes by without another example of this mindless initiative.
On June 4, Malanie Bennet of the Canadian digital news platform True North, published an article on the advice given by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation to the staff of the province’s Waterloo-Oxford District high school. The absurdity of its advice will shock you!
The superficial Left constantly conflates the defence of perfectly valid Ideas and Cultural Norms with expressions of Hatred based on matters of Identity. Suggest that Science supersedes Indigenous Superstition and you are a Racist. It is a degenerate tactic that is commonplace among our “academics.” Hence the audacity of the Ontario Teacher’s Federation informing the high school cited above that validating concepts such as “family” and “objectivity” in our schools is no more than an expression of White Supremacy!
Do you see why meaningful dialogue between Woke Liberals and Rational Conservatives is impossible? If Objectivity is but a White Western “construct,” if there are no irrefutable Facts, then every opinion and indeed every Culture is of equal value, and Feelings may be deemed just as valid as Human Intelligence in defining the Truth, whatever that might mean in such a world. Sadly, the world to which I am referring is that of the contemporary West, a world rife with the sort of sentimental nonsense spewed by those such as Gavin Newsom as cited in my last blog.
Is the concept of the Family just an arbitrary construct? Statements by the Teachers Federation suggest it to be implicitly patriarchal. While some marriages may undoubtedly see women reduced to the roles of mothers and housekeepers, the dynamics of every situation are complex and unique, born of the infinite diversity of the human psyche. Moreover it is a verifiable fact that the relationship between the sexes and the very concept of Marriage have been evolving over the centuries as our ever changing socio-economic situation has allowed. The rearing of children in a loving family under the guidance of a loving couple seems to me utterly defensible as the basic unit of a civilized society. Yet no doubt motivated by their arrogant discomfort with the fact that not all parents are raising their kids in alignment with their Leftist values, the geniuses at the Ontario Teachers Federation actually had the audacity to attack the Family itself. As I shall reveal in my next blog, academics elsewhere are guilty of even greater lunacy in attempting to alter traditional Western Values by controlling what can be taught to kids in schools they see as little more than purveyors of Leftist propaganda.
