Ontario family files human rights complaint after six-year-old girl upset by gender theory in school

“ In January of 2018, in a Grade One class at Devonshire Community Public School, part of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board network, six-year-old N watched a YouTube video as part of her teacher’s lesson plan on gender.

N is the kind of child, her mother Pamela told me in a telephone interview, that adores school—or did until the particular morning that prompted this column. The video was entitled, “He, She and They?!?—Gender: Queer Kid Stuff #2.” The video contained statements such as, “some people aren’t boys or girls,” and that there are people who do not “feel like a ‘she’ or a ‘he,’” and therefore might not have a gender. The young teacher, whom I will refer to by her initials, JB, continued to teach gender theory throughout the semester. According to N’s feedback to her mother, JB told the children that “there is no such thing as girls and boys,” and “girls are not real and boys are not real.”

    When my son was in the first grade, I got called to the Principal's office. He was laughing so hard he could hardly talk. It seems my darling lifted a little girl's dress. I was aghast! I asked 'why'? The Principal explained, 'I guess he wanted to see what was under her skirt!' I immediately turned this matter over to my ex-husband, a former Marine!

    I guess you are right. I suppose I felt the lawsuit was frivolous, but if you consider that you are arguing about what should be taught to your kids, spending your money, I think you are right

    I would call this kind of child abuse to other people’s children dangerous rather than silly.

    How do they know they are children, or that they are even human, or from this universe, or exist in this time or...

    How do you know you're a boy? How does anybody know they are what they think they are? How do you know that a rock isn't as soft as a pillow? (Blatant plagiarism...sorry).

    Silly teaching.
    There are boys. There are girls, and then there are 0.1% that are genetically or physiologically mixed up.

    This tiny percentage of people should be allowed do do as they like, and demand nothing from the rest of us, except not to be aggressively discriminated against. The recent “force” from government (cause it only comes from there. We can ignore the media) is a forced approach to a trivial social problem.

    B told the children that “there is no such thing as girls and boys,” and “girls are not real and boys are not real.”
    Waaaahhhhh....I wanna be real....uh....I wanna be real...what? If I am a boy, I am not real. If I am a girl, I am not real. Waaaahhhhh...what the heck am I then???? Is a boy that feels like a girl but likes girls better than boys a lesbian?

    The teacher is not just "allowed," she is encouraged, perhaps even mandated.
    Lenin and Hitler both knew thuggery would only take them so far, and that the key to fundamental transformation was their nations' children.

    Parents are usually fairly clueless until their little boy says something like, “Mommy, my teacher says not to call me a boy no more.”

    The world is a disturbed place. This will not end well.

    The parents were engaged in self-censorship, as the government-school system demands. Or maybe they were busy watching TV.

    I'm repeating something I saw recently (may have been here), but I don't remember exactly where or when, or who said it, so I can't cite the originator.

    But the B in LGBQT (or whatever the acronym du jour is) stands for "bisexual", a term which states as fact that there are two genders: male and female.

    God help us all if this JB person is allowed to keep teaching this crap.

    Freedom has also morphed to entitlement. Entitled to food. Entitled healthcare, Entitled to education. Entitled transportation. Entitled housing, Entitled to a job, Entitled to retirement. Entitled to not be offended. And so much more, as well as entitled to anything they want and entitled to not be personally responsible for the results of their choices or behavior.

    "A free country, where people have individual liberty and personal responsibility."

    Yes.

    But my experience proved that most people want freedom but not personal responsibility.

    I am incensed every day how irresponsible people are. They simply don't think of the effects of their actions. When they get into trouble, they "Did not know".

    Truly this must be the most important thing children should learn in their lives and it can't be left up to the parents to explain this to their children, if they so desire. Forget all that tripe about reading, writing and arithmetic (where does that stuff get you?) And now, if a girl wants to think she is a boy and dress out in the gym with the boys, should we care? Surely this won't cause any more problems than a boy thinking he is a girl and dressing out with the girls! And if the child wants to think of h/er self as they, well, we can do that! Confidentially I find this too confusing to consider!

    This teen got kicked out of class by going against the “national school authority policy” that there are a lot more genders then just male and female . Fortunately for him he recorded what happened after he was kicked out. The teen attempts to make an reasonable argument about his position, but “authority” won’t listen.
    Now imagine what’s going on with six-year-old children, and up.

    It sure is child abuse, Dino. Where were the other parents when all this was going on in the classroom?

    One reason why I want to make the effort of home schooling my future children. Public schooling does not come with accountability: state and federal governments are free to set whatever standard they want in what is acceptable for young minds to learn; this is why some politicians are deliberately ignorant of the benefits of private schooling or demonize school choice as an elitist ploy to profit off of a basic necessity.

    There is another thread on the Gulch about increasing mental illness rate.

    Is it a surprise when children's self confidence is being undermined at a very young age, to doubt even their gender.?

    A truly sick and evil movement tasked with manufacturing a sexless, mindless, psychotic population.

    "JB told the children that “there is no such thing as girls and boys,” and “girls are not real and boys are not real.”

    That teacher should be fired.

    He/she is teaching falseness.

    There are boys and girls, and there are hermaphrodites and other in-betweens.

    The problem with the PC left is they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. In the effort to forcibly re-program children's minds, they want to eradicate any sane and normal standard.

    There ARE standards, you idiots. The left swung so far out they have nothing else but their liquid brains to rely upon.

    Yes, Santa, ... and Americans are living in a free country!
    A free country, where people have individual liberty and personal responsibility. That's what I want for Christmas.
