On Sept. 19, shortly after Ontario’s kids had returned to school, The National Post published a piece by Tristin Hopper exposing the extent to which our young are being Indoctrinated rather than Educated in various regions across the province. While he cites several provincial school boards which have issued edicts to their teachers instructing them on the need to teach Inclusiveness as the defining Value of our Democracy, let us focus briefly on the 2024 guideline issued by the Toronto District School Board to all of its 20,000 members. Entitled “Facilitating Critical Conversations,” it asserted that a traditional Western Education was by definition part of “a colonial structure that centers whiteness.” Indeed it actually suggested that Race ought to be prioritized in all interactions with students. Given the public’s outrage with this 2024 initiative, the Toronto School Board ultimately retracted it. The question is, of course, were those who found it offensive White Supremacists, or was the Board’s Woke Agenda actually idiotic?
Identity Politics prioritizes Race and Gender over the integrity of the Viewpoints under consideration. It is by definition Intellectually Null! White Westerners celebrate the efficacy of Reason and Objectivity not simply because they are the products of Western Europe’s Enlightenment, but because they are irrefutably essential to true Human Progress. Bizarrely, the “progressive” bias of many of today’s “intellectuals” entails an inane disinterest in Intellectual Integrity! Given this fact, they have no other choice than to condemn those who disagree with them with one or another of their host of insulting epithets, i.e., Racist, Sexist, White Supremacist, etc., etc.. Such is the mentality behind the effort to cleanse Ontario’s schools of the the very values upon which our Western Democracies were founded.
One institution traditionally celebrated in the West as essential to Social Order, is the Nuclear Family. Alarmingly, in 2022, approximately 40% of the kids born in the U.S. were born to single mothers. Amongst Blacks, this number soared to 69%! Surely there is a relationship between such trends and the concerted assault by “Progressives” on traditional Western Values, an assault evident both in Canada’s Schools and, as I discussed in my last blog, in the contemporary disdain for the formerly revered Manly Values promoted by the Boy Scouts of America! Yes, Entitlement rather than Moral Accountability has now become the Defining Goal of Western Liberals, and those promoting it are apparently too dumb to realize the absurdity of the Inclusiveness which inspires them!
