“Mary Reid, assistant professor at University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, worries math tests for all new teachers could lead to fewer visible minorities entering the profession… The purpose of schooling is to include visible minorities. A math test uncomfortably approximates an intelligence test. These make the obvious…well, obvious.” – Fred Reed, “Dispatches from the race war” – The Unz Review, August 31st, 2019.

“The bright minds at the TDSB who put together the new dress code don’t say whether such sleepwear can be a nightgown, drawstring pants, straight pajamas or a Victoria Secret-style Teddy… I guess that’s open to interpretation, along with the myriad of tops and bottoms that will soon be perfectly acceptable to wear in class: Tops that are backless, bare the midriff and have plunging necklines that expose cleavage, as long as they cover ‘nipples’… This is all contained in the new dress code along with the permission to wear bottoms that expose legs, thighs and hips as long as ‘groin and buttocks’ are covered.” – Sue-Ann Levy, “The nearly naked truth about TDSB’s new dress code policy” – Toronto Sun, June 7th, 2019.

“One vital measure for community involvement in black education is that of preventing youngsters who are alien and hostile to the educational process from making education impossible for everybody else. That can be accomplished by ignoring politicians and the liberal vision that restricts schools from removing students who pose severe disciplinary problems… All too often, a black student with a high school diploma cannot read, write or compute at a sixth- or seventh-grade level. This tends to make high school diplomas held by blacks less valuable in the eyes of employers. As such, it sparks racial division where it otherwise would not exist…” – Walter E. Williams, “Black education – a glimmer of hope” – Toronto Sun, Jan. 8th, 2019.

“The great surprise is that WASPs, the legendary descendants of the Founding Fathers, have lost their privilege, or even their fair chance to success. Unz proves that a smart Christian American boy of English or German parentage has ten times less chance to get into these crème-de-la-crème universities than an average Jewish boy. This very unfair way of forming tomorrow’s elites has been made possible by the sheer nepotistic networking of the universities’ admission offices. Clannishness, the Jews were (justifiably) accused of… Provided that these Ivy League colleges are the only sure-fire way into American elites, into best jobs and into good and important positions, this biased enrolment guarantees the Jews their position of the top dog well into next generation.” – Israel Shamir, “Unz goes nuclear” – The Unz Review, Dec. 6th, 2018.

“There is an inherent viciousness of ideological discourse that is rampant in today’s academic climate of dogma-driven scholarship, where university professors yield little regard for differing opinions when it comes to a whole host of hot-button issues ranging from religion to gender politics to climate change… The assumption that those who disagree with you are bad people, the willful ignorance of uncomfortable facts, and the urge to make up for weak argument by shouting more loudly – seem to be core values of many students graduating with degrees in social sciences today.” – Kieran Moloney, “Stifling debate – Canadian universities in need of dire reform” – Toronto Sun, Sept. 8th, 2018.

“How will campus free speech policies that aim to promote ‘open debate’ and ‘the exchange of ideas’ address overreaching Gendered Violence policies and power-hungry activists that manipulate the internal complaints system? At this point, they can’t. While the various free speech policies that will come into effect in Ontario on January 1, 2019 may encourage some students to speak their minds in class more often and offer their honest opinions, that doesn’t mean they won’t be notified of a formal complaint against them the next week.” – Lindsay Shepherd, “Why we should be skeptical of government-mandated campus free speech policies” – The Post Millennial, August 31st, 2018. This is an excellent article, read it here.)

“The abyss between the academic qualifications of black and Hispanic students, on the one hand, and whites and Asians, on the other, was kept assiduously offstage, pursuant to longstanding journalistic taboos. Instead, it was as if a mysterious force was preventing blacks and Hispanics from entering college.” – Heather MacDonald, “Let’s demand the media – and the education establishment – stop concealing America’s very real racial problem” – Jewish World Review, July 31st, 2018.

“The Global Forum is essentially a central think tank for the campaign to introduce internet censorship throughout the West. It is also an internationally operational anti-White hate group that devises intellectual and political strategies styled as ‘recommendations’ for Western governments to restrict the freedoms of their respective populations. The ‘recommendations’ of the Forum include a demand to adopt ‘a clear industry standard for defining hate speech and anti-Semitism’… It goes without saying that such a definition would be sufficiently wide-ranging that it would preclude, under threat of severe punishment, any criticism of Jews or Israel.” – Andrew Joyce, Ph.D., “Jewish intellectual activism for internet control” – Occidental Observer, July 24th, 2018.
Sex-ed letter a hysterical reaction says reader
To the editor:
Re Sex-ed isn’t going to turn you gay, letters, durhamregion.com
“For those of us in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) community, this is a nightmare scenario as far as politics goes.” Indeed!
If Doug Ford is guilty of the “courting of a virulently homophobic and transphobic conservative base” then why did he got rid of sex-ed critic Tanya Granic Allen right after she boosted him into the leadership position?
“Removing sex-ed and LGBTQ material from educational institutions is an act of discrimination against our community”? Leaving it in may well create gender confusion among “straight” children, who constitute the vast majority of our younger students.
If our “LGBTQ community” is so upset about losing control of sex-ed content, one may reasonably wonder what their agenda is; this surprisingly hysterical reaction certainly invites speculation.

“First is their new unholy trinity of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity is defined not by opinion, but by race, ethnicity or sexual identity; the goal is no longer equality of opportunity, but an insistence on equality of outcome; and inclusion is the use of identity-based quotas to attain this misconceived state of equity… Their world is (instead) a Hobbesian nightmare of identity groups warring for power. They don’t see ideas that run contrary to their ideology as merely incorrect. They see them as integral to the oppressive system they wish to supplant and consider it a moral obligation to stifle and constrain their expression.” – Professor Jordan Peterson, quoted by Onan Coca in “Today’s professors don’t teach, they indoctrinate progressivism” – The Lid, June 14th, 2018.
