Complaints over the Jaguars signing Tim Tebow while Colin Kaepernick is still sidelined demonstrate the dangers.
“Cancel Culture”
Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay started a “Resign for Diversity” campaign urging white wokies to be the “QUIT” in “EQUITY”
The idea behind the “Resign for Diversity” campaign is simple: if you are a woke white person who believes we need to overhaul all of society to eliminate merit on the basis of racial “equity,” then you can be the first to show your devotion by quitting your job and giving it to a person you think is oppressed.
Why 260 Cops Have Fled Seattle
There hasn’t been a police department more brutalized in recent memory. In Seattle, cops have been pummeled by a psycho city council. It’s not shocking. Seattle is left-wing. The residents are left-wing. They’re all nuts. The mayor allowed armed leftists to seize portions of the city. The ‘summer of love’ came crashing down when—shocker—people started to get shot and killed inside the autonomous zone. They have hamstrung the police and spit in their faces. After a summer of riots and not being allowed to restore order, along with an overall anti-police atmosphere, are we shocked that scores of cops have fled Seattle? Around 20 percent of the police force has left.
Less police = more crime, including gun crime. More gun crime will be considered justification for national gun confiscation. It’s all coordinated.
My degree is at risk… because I said women have vaginas
Mature student Lisa Keogh went back to full-time education — to get a law degree — partly because she wanted to set a good example to her children.
She has two sons, aged nine and seven, who are learning about the birds and the bees at school. Previously, she would never have considered this to be a controversial subject — ‘It’s biology, isn’t it?’ — but not now.
Lisa, 29, is facing disciplinary action by Abertay University in Dundee after saying during a discussion on transgender issues in an online seminar that women were born with female genitals and the difference in physical strength between men and women ‘was a fact’.
Nigel Farage: Judeo-Christian West under threat from China, Marxism, cancel culture
Nigel Farage, the key leader of the Brexit movement, has been criss-crossing the United States over the past several weeks for his “America’s Comeback Tour,” warning that “[t]he West as a whole faces a huge dilemma.”
Nolte: Seven ‘Apparent Nooses’ Found in Democrat City Shutter Amazon Construction Site
In the deep blue city of Windsor (where His Fraudulency Joe Biden won 75 percent of the vote), which is located in the Democrat-run state of Connecticut (where His Fraudulency won 60 percent of the vote), Amazon has been forced to cease construction on one of its facilities “after several noose-like ropes were discovered at the site in recent weeks.”
Who’s missing? Top author stirs anger with ‘too white’ history
It has taken nearly a decade to research and write, and runs to more than 750 pages. But The History Makers, described as “an epic exploration of those who write about the past”, has itself been rewritten after its author failed to take into account enough black historians, academics and writers.
Richard Cohen was told by his publisher to produce new chapters and expand others after failing to sufficiently acknowledge the roles of black people and African Americans.
The Forbidden Album Critics Don’t Want You to Hear
Van Morrison’s “Latest Record Project Volume 1” pulls no punches against his woke detractors.
Van Morrison released a Rorschach Test disguised as an album this week in the 28-track Latest Record Project Volume 1.
The critics who regarded him alongside Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon now insist that he ranks somewhere beneath Morris Albert but above Fergie.
Jonathan Kay: The cancellation of Michelle Latimer has become (another) disgrace to the CBC
It’s been almost a quarter century since the Supreme Court of Canada told us that Indigenous oral traditions must be considered “on an equal footing” with other types of historical evidence. Alas, as the attack on famed Canadian filmmaker Michelle Latimer shows, the CBC still hasn’t gotten that memo. Thus does it fall to me to pour my emotional labour into educating the cultural reactionaries who staff our national broadcaster.
Rex Murphy: When the woke come for conservatives of colour
There is a sort of madness abroad, a flippancy about the terms of reality itself, and it is comforted by the blasé acceptance that what we know is strange and rare and off every centre is perfectly normal. Is “normal” an allowed word? An interminable tide of woke prescriptions and politically correct dogmas pulses on. New and invented rules multiply by the minute and are not one bit less stringent for never having been debated, passed by any assembly, or discussed out loud in any forum of open minds. Suddenly, they are just there.
Instead Of Canceling ‘Snow White,’ Learn To Read Fairy Tales
Cancel culture’s latest victim: Snow White. In an article for SFGate, editors Julie Tremaine and Katie Dowd criticized Disneyland’s revamped Snow White ride for including scenes of the movie’s iconic kiss between the prince and a sleeping Snow White.
“A kiss,” the authors claim, “he gives to her without her consent, while she’s asleep, which cannot possibly be true love if only one person knows it’s happening.” Horror of horrors! As if being pursued by a murderous stepmother isn’t enough, the beloved fairy tale character is, in fact, a victim of rape culture!
Nolte: Court Threatens to Take Child from Mother over Confederate Symbol
This is not the State threatening to take away a foster child or adopted child. This is the State of New York threatening to take away a woman’s very own child over a rock in her driveway painted with a Confederate symbol.
Has Censorship Become Our Baseline Expectation?
For America’s Journalistic Inquisitors–it’s free speech that’s surprising
Want proof that our norms are shifting? Look no further than our headlines: “Amazon won’t stop selling book questioning transgender youth” noted a surprised New York Daily News on Tuesday. “Amazon overrules employees’ calls to stop selling book questioning mainstream treatment for transgender youth,” declared The Seattle Times. “Amazon Refuses to Stop Selling Anti-Trans Book,” reported an apparently disappointed Edge Media. And yesterday’s NBCNews.com: “Amazon will not remove book advocates say endangers transgender youth.”
For every one of these publications, the baseline assumption is censorship.
BLM Releases New List of 7 Extremist Demands; Two Target Donald Trump
Black Lives Matter, a political outfit masquerading as a social justice group, has issued a new list of 7 “demands.” As if there were any doubt, BLM has made it clear that it is a radical arm of the Democratic Party.
