    Long story short: an Edmonton, Canada public school teacher ripped into a bunch of Muslim students for skipping a Pride Day event. One of the students recorded the audio and now the teacher is in deep caca.

    Apologies in advance for linking to The Rebel (Canada's knockoff version of Fox News) but it's the only Canadian source I could find that seems to have the audio.

    This is an interesting one. Karen teacher versus Muslim kids. Choose your fighter!

    I love that she keeps calling pride a religion, sounds about right when it comes to leftist ideology. I was assured the other day by @matthunter that things like this wasn't happening. Like I said in the other thread, it's no longer about tolerance, it's about conformity.

    I assured you no one was going to haul your sorry ass to Pride and force you to dance in leather.

    This is still true.

    Primarily because they don't want to make folk throw up their lunch, but still.

    I love how Christians keep telling on themselves by calling things a religion as an insult.
    As a synonym for a concocted delusion.
    Welcome to atheism; here's your free toaster!

    Point of order

    It is not only acceptable but necessary to call people out for elevating human doctrine to divine status

    All done, back to your slapfight

    A teacher stepping outside of her lane to preach morality. That isn't her job and she should be reprimanded for it. The parents have every right to be upset.

    English lit is loaded with morality tales.
    History is a record of our screwups. Implicit with understanding the fuckup, is we know the right thing to do.
    Any time you veer away from math, or chemistry, you're teaching morality.

    This is the problem with multiculturalism. Not all cultures are equally valid. Some routinely violate human rights. That's why I prefer polyculturalism.

    And it appears they didn't just 'not show up to pride' events. They refused to go to school for multiple days when pride events were taking place at those schools, even if they weren't mandated to attend any of those events. But you know what? I'd rather they stay home than cause issues with those events.

    Religion should be out of schools entirely. So no, schools shouldn't be embracing Ramadan - or Christmas - either.

    If you want to give days off for those events that's fine, because that by definition doesn't force those concepts on anyone. Staying home because the Muslims are breaking their fast that day is not the same thing as being forced to embrace Ramadan. Again, same goes with Christmas.

    Ultimately I'm more with the Muslims than the teacher on this one, even if I'm far more against Islam due to it's lack of human rights.
