A report from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection says 252 current or former school personnel committed or were accused of committing offences of a sexual nature against 548 children over a five-year span.
It says another 38 personnel were criminally charged for child pornography-related offences during the same time frame of 2017 to 2021.
“It is startling and a bit infuriating,” said Noni Classen, director of education at the Winnipeg-based centre.
Earlier this week, I came across a fascinating and harrowing demographic report from the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, analyzing “elite” college students’ political biases.
It explains that college campuses are left-wing — shocker, I know… — but moreover, it exposes what happens when insular college students hold absurdly unrepresentative viewpoints.
Across dozens of pages, the report unveils that these students live for several years on an island where religion is shunned, and race somehow correlates directly with political ideology. The gender gap is nearly five times larger than in the general population — as more men wisely eschew college.
And this matters. Remember, despite their naiveté and limited life experience, college students and recent graduates, unfortunately, have an outsized effect on politics.
A “pink education” phenomenon in Hungary that favours women could endanger the economy, lower birth rates and disadvantage men, a report says.
Women are over-represented in Hungarian higher education, according to parliament’s economic watchdog, seen as close to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The authors warned that an increase in female graduates could make women less likely to marry and have children.
If you follow Libs Of Tik Tok you may just agree at the least that the wrong sort of “Wimmins” predominate.
“The issue is debt cancellation might reduce the racial wealth gap between two rich doctors, a rich black doctor and rich white doctor, but it actually widens the racial wealth gap overall, because disproportionately the people who hold student debt that went to college are white, and the 87% of Americans that didn’t go to college are disproportionately people of color,” Marc Goldwein, who also serves a senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, told CNN host Poppy Harlow.
It’s back to school! You bought all the school supplies and new clothes, but what about insulating your children against school indoctrination? Sadly, indoctrination resistance is now part of going back to school so you must stay vigilant and teach your children personal boundaries.
Lesson plans about “social identity,” which may be called Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Critical Race Theory, cultural competency, or other names, obliterate the personal boundaries of children in order to break down kids emotionally and build them back up as social justice activists. The process involves forging emotional bonds to influence children to become political proteges of the teachers and peers that emotionally manipulated them.
Adopting leftists’ mindsets and behaviors becomes an act of loyalty to a collective identity that is prioritized over individual human value.
The Washington Examiner reports that Hayward Unified School District recently contacted Woke Kindergarten for a month-long training session for staffers at Glassbrook Elementary School, where they will be taught to “disrupt whiteness, white dominant/settler colonial narratives and anti-Blackness in the Glassbrook community.” Woke Kindergarten touts itself as a “global, abolitionist early childhood ecosystem & visionary creative portal.” It was founded by Akiea “Ki” Gross, who uses they/them pronouns.
Gross is described as an “abolitionist early educator, cultural organizer and creator currently innovating ways to resist, heal, liberate and create with their pedagogy, Woke Kindergarten,” in in the “who we are” section of Woke Kindergarten’s web site.
The ACLU reported that it had filed amicus curiae briefs in two cases before the United States Supreme Court, Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, both of which challenge whether or not higher education can legally consider race in its application approval process.
“Ending the consideration of race in college admissions would ignore the country’s ongoing challenge of racial inequality and threaten diversity and inclusion on campuses everywhere,” Sarah Hinger, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program, said in a press release.
The Oklahoma education secretary said public school teachers indoctrinating kids with woke ideology have ‘no place’ in the profession
Oklahoma’s education secretary Ryan Walters told Fox News Digital about a potential plan to revoke teaching certificates in cases where educators are found pushing “sick material” in public school classrooms.
“Ultimately, if you’re trying to push ideology on our kids, there’s no place for you to be a teacher,” Walters told Fox News Digital. “Being a teacher is about focusing on academics and equipping students with the skills so that they can be successful in life, not indoctrinating them to a woke ideology.”
He’s right but a complete “cleansing” of teacher colleges and unions will have to be a part of the solution.
At Wesley Yang’s Year Zero substack site, a left-leaning public teacher in a leftist school district published an article describing just how crazy things really are in such schools. While your children may be behind in reading, writing, and arithmetic, it’s clear they’re getting an extra-large dose of hard-left racism (and probably gender theory and America-hatred, although the essay doesn’t touch on those things). If you have children or grandchildren in public schools, or you simply care about America’s future, you should read that essay and then pay close attention to your next school board election.
The essay, entitled “Yes, Things Are Really as Bad as You’ve Heard,” sounds like one of the more outlandish Babylon Bee parodies.
At least 181 K-12 teachers, principals, and staff have been arrested for child sex crimes in the United States so far this year, according to an analysis of reports.
At least 181 educators been arrested between Jan. 1 and June 30, according to a Fox News analysis. Arrests that did not make it in media reports were not counted.
San Francisco Public Schools released data last month painting a bleak picture of academic achievement in the famously liberal city.
For the 2021-2022 school year, just 47 percent of eighth graders were deemed ready for high school. Twenty-eight percent of students in the San Francisco Unified School District are “chronically absent”—a proportion that has doubled since the 2019-2020 school year. Two-thirds of African-American students fall into that category.
It’s cause their school is named after a racist.
One of the clearest villains of the pandemic was Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, a powerful and deep-pocketed union. Her tireless anti-child and anti-science efforts played a major role in condemning millions of American students to disastrous “virtual learning,” for a year or more in many parts of the country. The bluer the area, the more influence unions wield over elected Democrats — and the likelier kids in those jurisdictions were languish at home, denied crucial in-person instruction. And when they were finally permitted back into classrooms, after well over a year in many cases, the likelier they were to face unsupported-by-data mask mandates.
In yet another effort to completely dumb down standards for its students, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) intends to “decolonize” assessment practices during the next school year.
A memo sent to staff by the interim associate director of student well-being and innovation, Andrew Gold, and centrally assigned principal. Denise De Paola, revealed the new practice to teachers.
In the memo – obtained by True North – the two claim that “decolonization” of student assessments, equity anti-oppression and anti-racism are “at the core” of student learning and achievement.
The Department of Education continues to forgive federal debt for attendees of shuttered for-profit schools.
A booklet made for school children that calls the Red Ensign flag a hate symbol and identifies the Conservative Party as a target of “infiltration” by racists was approved by Cabinet yesterday as a taxpayer-funded project.
“This new resource will be delivered through workshops in schools across the country and it will help raise awareness with students,” Diversity Minister Ahmed Hussen told reporters. The booklet would help “teach core values to our kids,” he said.
