…And of course liberal-leftists’ now infamous and ubiquitous political correctness is the new “three Rs” of education in their post-modern “progressive” church of liberalism indoctrination and social engineering centers
state-run public schools.
Let’s sit on our butts and watch—as Canadian conservatives always do—as the state continues to take over the rearing our our children and their minds and replace our values with their yummy liberal-leftist state values:
B.C. high schools get ‘ISMs’ Course
Optional Grade 12 lessons in social justice result of human rights deal
Janet Steffenhagen, Vancouver Sun
Published: Saturday, September 01, 2007A new Grade 12 elective course that will make its debut in selected schools next week as part of a controversial deal to settle a human rights complaint is called Social Justice 12, but it could also be dubbed Lessons in Isms.
Ableism, ageism, anthropocentrism, consumerism, cultural imperialism, extremism, feminism, fundamentalism, heterosexism, humanism, racism, sexism and speciesism are among the key learning concepts, according to information released recently by the Education Ministry.
Murray Corren—who along with his spouse, Peter, was responsible for the human rights complaint and had a hand in developing the Social Justice curriculum—said the only thing missing is a glossary explaining terms such as heterosexism and speciesism that are not a part of everyday vocabulary.
Heterosexism is prejudice against homosexuals on the assumption that heterosexuality is the norm.
[Joel notes: the science is NOT settled on this yet! Who knows — most people might very well be homosexual!]
Speciesism is used primarily by animal activists to describe the exploitation of animals by humans who consider themselves superior.
[Joel notes: when pigs can fly their own hypersonic jet aircraft… I’ll hop aboard the good ship Nutbar too. When pigs fly.]
Safe to say, those two words have never before appeared in B.C. school curriculum.
“We’re very happy with the course,” Corren said in an interview. “We think it has a lot of good stuff that teachers and students can learn about and grapple with. It will be very exciting for students.”
Also on tap for the pliable children of the state which you used to think were yours: lessons in the value of gayness and how gays have contributed to world history, and so on. Sensible people and parents in particular all think I’m kidding about all of this. I’m not. This article goes on though:
What’s been more contentious is the government’s promise to give the Correns an unprecedented role in a review of all curriculum to ensure respectful teachings about sexual orientation from K-12. That review is still underway.
Sexual orientation isn’t the only new topic to be covered in Social Justice 12.
The course will also highlight animal rights for the first time—much to the surprise of the Vancouver activist who made a passionate pitch last spring for educators to think beyond gender and race when considering oppression.
Lesley Fox said she was stunned to see speciesism included in the curriculum, along with several other references to animal rights.
“In my 14 years of campaigning for animal protection, I have never seen anything as exciting or progressive as this,” she enthused in a recent e-mail. “This is one of the most important advancements in the fight against the oppression of animals.”
[…]
It’s “progressive”! Yes, it’s a brave new world in which you mustn’t “assume” you’re in the norm, no matter what. I mean unless you’re gay. Then you’re normal. And please remember: no matter what, you’re no better than a cow.
Let’s self loathe. And for God’s sake do nothing. These are “Canadian values”. You will not just “tolerate” them—you will accept and embrace and endorse them and express your admiration of them publicly. You must. The state says so.
Vote liberal.
