THANK YOU for being brave enough to have this chat, this is exactly my point. we as parents are told that these children are at risk of "self deleting", can you imagine as a pattern not being TOLD/AWARE of this risk? its crazy, we cant make rules based on the thought that all parents are bad people. Make Kids Kids Again. and for frog-snacks just be kind folks.
I went to the Sept 20th Rally, Millions March for Kids, in Nanaimo, BC. As an over 60, white Grandmother, I have never experienced the level of HATE directed at me and all the others standing up for the kids. To my dismay there were a lot of my contemporaries on the OTHER SIDE. Our country and future are in grave danger.
You talk about people getting 'triggered' when they see a pride-painted crosswalk. Then in the next breath talk about pride-people getting 'triggered' when they see some tire-skid marks on "their" sidewalk. What an F'd up mess. Yes, I absolutely agree on open dialogue with parents. Nothing about your kids should ever be done without parents' knowledge and consent. Any person who says to your child, "Don't tell your parents" is a danger to society.
Well said. Kids need to be kids. Talking about both sides of the story is what needs to be done. There are always 2 sides to any disagreement or agreement. Thanks QDM.
Society has gone off the rails. I don't see kids building forts or riding bikes or going fishing or anything anymore. I do see them consuming without a thought of what hard earned money is worth. As a kid I delivered newspapers, mowed lawns, shoveled driveways, anything for a buck. Now they aren't allowed to unless supervised. I shake my head in disbelief. Th qdmd for another great vid.
Quick I usually agree with your opinions but I am over 70 years and have seen enough to know that the old say is true, "if you let the camel put his nose into your tent, it won't be long before you are outside the tent" I think also that batsh--t crazy is very important for the situation and covid thought us that they never do anything for our betterment. Cheers.
There is one major and one minor argument against the pride crosswalk, otherwise I'd agree with your assessment. I was in Fort Langley, and the traffic is always heavy there. Every parent with a young child that was crossing the street was drawn to the rainbow and wanted to play on it. Municipalities waste money, how much extra does it cost to have crosswalk paint mixed? How many of these crosswalks are just budget padding, so they don't get their budgets cut? And in addition, the pride cross walk draws attention away from the purpose of the crosswalk, a safety device to control the flow of pedestrians and give motorists heightened awareness of potential danger.
Agreed. Who has *any* proof that people are doing burnouts on Pride crosswalks? It's a road, people drive on it, and the people who paint flags on the ground should know this. It's one thing to put a Pride flag on your own house or car, it's a totally different thing to fly one with taxpayer money. Further, it's either idiotic or deceptive to paint a flag on the ground and then get mad when people step on it. I also take exception to schools flying Pride flags on the same pole as the Canadian flag. While this isn't actually illegal, it is a clear breach of the official ettiquette for flying the Canadian flag and therefore disrespectful. This is being done by public employees using Canadian tax dollars. What about supporting gay people (which I argue Pride now fails to do) requires disrespecting or vilifying your community?
I agree that a cross walk is just that a cross walk and there is no room on the street for that . We as kids grew up being taught to stop ,look both ways before stepping onto the street now they just dont even look and think the traffic will stop for them. Darwin awards given !
@@AmB39 I see. So you live in an alternate reality, where queer people don’t actually exist. Here in the real world, they do exist, and have since the begin of human life. Sorry for your ignorance.
Where are the Hetero cross walk colors? In public, on display, and given the same relevance and reference as the pride flag? Where is the Hetero FLAG (there isn't one) in every classroom, on every street, in every store window etc etc etc. What about the concerns of depressed hetero children? And that being promoted as much and as loud as Dismorphic children? Where is the "It's okay to be straight" concept promoted by the teachers and the schools when the majority ( i would say over 95%) of the parents are straight!! The tail does not wag the dog.. well, in Canada it is trying to0..
I was looking for this comment. 💯 Facts. Indoctrination is not okay and that's what all those flags and crosswalks are about. Very surprised this video and Dick, being a dick, supported this.
Nobody, and I do mean NOBODY has the right to complain that they will no longer have the "right" to get children to keep secrets from their parents! If you are reading this comment and are upset by it because you thought you _did_ have that right, please shove your opinion where the 🌞 doesn't shine.
Well done! Yes, parents are requested consent for so many things at school so why wouldn't this category also be included? It's actually in the best interest of teachers as well. I love how you played it out, avoiding the difficult conversations only delays the inevitable of the person finding out from another source and is a very hurtful process.
90%. I disagree about the crosswalks when they spend tax money to do a vanity project for a select few when I still roll over potholes and have sidewalks to nowhere.
Hallelujah Dick! I am in 100% agreement. People need to stop be asses. Yes, real gender dysphoria needs to be addressed and the best people to help with that are the parents. And just confused and suffering form overt social media influence need guidance. And the best people for that are the parents. And you hit the nail on the head about liabilities. The parent have all the legal, moral, and financial liability for the welfare of their child. Therefore they have the right because of that to be involved.
The issue is would the kids be trans, if they were not taught sexuality before they even knew what sexuality is? If you teach a child this, then tell them that it is the cure to what ails them, most will have no clue and go along with it, because most kids are taught to trust authority figures in their lives. Remove the teachings from the schools, and let the kids be kids. One of my employees had his 4 year old daughter with a book about why 2 boys like each other. She’s FOUR! The teacher told the parent it’s in the curriculum and threatened to call the police on him if he objected. ENOUGH!
@@BigWreckd did you bother to take your head out of your ass before your comment to see what is happening in schools. Or is it firmly planted there? I have 2 friends I grew up with to top that story. One has an 19 year old daughter already taking blockers and firmly believing she can be a man, the other has a confused 17 year old that wants to take them. Pull your head outta your butt. Or forever live with your own smells. And yes, ALL three stories are true. But people with head up ass syndrome tend to deny everyone that tells them the truth.
QDM. You hit the nail on the head with both of your views. I applaud you. I am in the camp of parents should nurture, teach and direct kids. However, people will do what they want because of free will. Thats Ok as long as long as it doesn't effect people in a bad way. I will support different views, it's not going to change what I have for supper. Just wash your hands
Seems like everyone is out to get everyone else on something. Kids are looking for attention, love and involvement. You are so right Quick ..what a world it would be if we all could achieve positive and loving attitudes. ❤
Yes teachers have some rolls that parent would have. BUT they don't have to PAY anything out of THEIR pocket. Teachers have ZERO Liability, it their ideology effects the child.
Exactly! Perhaps if there are more lawsuits against teachers for having put harmdul ideas into kids' heads, maybe then they'll start thinking about what it is that they teach...
And you know this is happening? If, so, how is it you are aware that teacher’s ideologies affect the child. Teacher’s display kindness, fairness are in the classroom because they care. Is this the ideology you are referring too?
@@margaretmctaggart3563 So called teachers are nothing more than self entitled far left activists creating division for their masters and Taxpayer money. "Teachers" should be paid based on the defective products they produce.
@@margaretmctaggart3563 well where else exactly is all this ideology being pushed down their children’s throats, awww gee must be getting it from their buddies!!! Yeah, okay!!! 😂😂😂😂 it’s all the children’s fault, right??? 😂😂😂😂😂 there are good teachers but there are also ones who don’t qualify as being good teachers!!!
Once again some of the most amazing, thought provoking and real words that truly show love and compassion for people told from cab of a tractor. My only wish is that people could here this and live it. Thanks again for making my day. Your truly one of the good ones
at 9:50 when talking about the not flying the pride flag. The problem is, the people that fly the pride flag say if you don't fly it , it means you hate them. To them, not promoting them, is akin to hating them. That is a massive problem. I have a problem with the LGB group saying theyre oppressed, yet, look at everything they do, kinda makes me think they arent being genuine
I also have a problem that the Pride folx seem to think that they speak for the people they represent. I know a lot gay people who want to lead normal lives where being gay is one small part of it. All of the flags, and political messaging, and fetishism is just making it harder for them to do so. It makes whatever little identity checkbox they've ticked central to who they are supposed to be and something that's supposed to make them go a certain way, politically. I think Quick Dick must be pretty new to this stuff if he's still at the "Pride flags just mean I support gay people/trans people/"People of Colour"/AIDS victims/Two Spirited people etc" stage. Many people seem to think this, even those flying kt. What this flag represents to the people trying to get it into public spaces is the idea that our systems (all of them, from public schools to democracy and capitalism) are inherently evil and need to be torn down and replaced.
They blanket banned all theme tape and jerseys. "Black History Night, Hockey Fights Cancer Night, Military Appreciation Night and Pride Night" "Players shall not be put in the position of having to demonstrate (or where they may be appearing to demonstrate) personal support for any Special Initiatives. A factor that may be considered in this regard includes, for example, whether a Player (or Players) is required to be in close proximity to any groups or individuals visibly or otherwise clearly associated with such Special Initiative(s)." But we don't see anyone raising hell over there not being any pink tape for breast cancer awareness.
I completely agree with the NHL here. I get that Quick Dick is self-employed, but when you work for someone, you represent them and their company, at least while you're on the clock. Using that time and platform to push your own political views is extremely unprofessional. It also opens uncomfortable doors. If people find it acceptable for employees to push politics while serving coffee (or playing hockey), what's the difference when an employer says "you need to push *my* politics while you're on the clock"? It then comes down to "let me be political or I quit" vs "push my politics or you're fires"; who wins that one, do you think?
So after the struggle session with the parents the school administrators will make the final decision if the child is at risk of "harm". From whom, the parents? Got it. For you parents not on board with the state making the call on what constitutes "harm" , plan accordingly for your family because its coming and in fact it's already here.
I’m with you on everything except the road paint. Road markings should be reserved for traffic related items and not cluttered with other things making it more difficult to see important safety information. Paint is also slippery and reduces grip. Often this additional paint is at intersections where traction is the most important. As a motorcycle rider I already try avoiding any paint but these are large, solid paint areas so impossible. Go ahead, fly a flag, wear a bumper sticker or paint your face but keep graffiti off the pavement.
And, as I love to point out, putting the flag of a cause you support on the ground is inherently disrespectful. They're either willfully ignorant or intentionally provocative. Here's a question: should I not slam my brakes if someone starts jaywalking, in order to ensure that the rainbow paint doesn't get smudged?
You're correct. Traffic standards are there for a reason. Nobody wants a bunch of (put your virtue here) lining the roadways and public buildings. Private buildings can strew all the flare they want for its their area that they pay for. If there is an argument for keeping the current standard I suppose people wouldn't mind me painting an SKS within the intersection for gun rights are important to me.
For me, the big deal it's all about the desensitization of the young, and therefore open to bigger things in the future. Everywhere we turn it's happening. Consider TV commercials, for example
Thank you to remind everyone how harm can spread. Someone sent me one of your vlogs a couple of years ago more as a joke. But the jokes on them BC I have been a fan since. Although I'm no longer living in Sask. I am still prairie proud and appreciate the work you go to bring awareness to issues that need attention. Its been fun to watch your vlogs evolve and you inspired me to pick up a GoPro. Always grateful, unlikely subscriber
I've tried to be the support my sister's needs for the past 35 years after she had gender surgery and suffered severe suicidal depression upon realizing how ruined her body had become. Constant complications and health problems have reduced her life to a series of painful days broken by occasional relief. She has been tormented for years by regret and now is appealing to the MAID program. I don't know what to do anymore. I've always been able to help her see that living is better that dying but the government is making it easier to end her life.
Sorry to be flippant and if you aren't in the mood, please ignore this. Have you tried calling up her teachers from school so they can take time out of their day to sit and comfort her? How about the DIE Officer? The admins and school board? Or is it just her family that cares about her, at the end of the day? Again, apologies, but I'm completely done with these empty, sanctimonious words from people who never follow through. "Teachers are here to support and care for students" No, you're not. You're here to educate students, six hours a day, five days a week, for nine months, then you get a new batch. Stop acting like you'll be there for kids when the going gets rough, especially when your "health advice" causes it.
I don't know anything about the details of what gender surgery is about but assuming she had her breasts removed, I know half that pain, after a mastectomy to stop cancer. It took months to regain the use of my arm and 27 years later, the effects never clear up. I am thankful because it's given me years I would not have had. I so much wish that some caring medical intervention can help her, both physically and emotionally. You gave it your best and despite all that, you are now facing her final decision of MAID. The choice wasn't yours to begin with and the suffering you're experiencing should not be either. But love does that. Courage and peace.
While I agree with most of what you say, I cannot and will never agree with efforts to normalize and celebrate deviant behavior. I respect the rights of people to love whomever they choose. I respect the rights of people to do whatever pleases them in the privacy of their own homes and bedrooms. However, I resist and resent when people needlessly flaunt deviant behavior and try to make me accept it. You do you, and I'll do me, and let's leave the "advertising" of our preferences out of the equation.
It's extremely important to understand that this is what modern "Pride" is: queerness. They are not doing the fetish stuff because that's "who they really are", they're doing it because it subverts the status quo. That's also why they keep adding things to their flags/accronyms; they need to be constantly pushing. For example: here was a shop teacher in Ontario who insisted on wearing gigantic prosthetic breasts while teaching last year and there was a big to do over it. In the aftermath, the board created "TQ+" safe spaces for students who felt uncomfortable by people calling him out. Like how the pro-trans feminists are casting out "TERFs", the Pride people are cutting out gays and lesbians because they're no longer subversive enough. This doesn't stop. There is no point at which they will ever say "now we're satisfied" and it wouldn't matter if they did because the next generation of victim politicians would simply shove them aside. Their goal is to dismantle our systems because they think they'll come out on to in the event of societal collapse. Our goal needs to be the preservation of the systems that make our country one of the greatest in history in terms of prosperity, cooperation, and freedom.
@@jmanlinc It's not that difficult. In the case of LGB[whatever] consider the fact that 93 to 97% of our society consider themselves to be heterosexual. Thus, by any measure heterosexuality is the norm for this society. The remaining 3 to 7% are deviations from the norm. Utilizing both proper grammar and statistical terminology, those folks are deviates.... not a bad word; not a slur..... just a fact. I make no effort whatsoever to influence the 3-7% to celebrate the choices that I make in my bedroom, I expect that a reasonable person would act similarly.
Telling their parents that they want a tattoo could also put them in harm's way. What a silly argument. If a child is in danger from their parents, there are proper protective avenues to pursue through the legal system, not some underfunded middle school playing psychiatrist vigilante.
@@DylanYoung telling their parents that they want a tattoo could put them in harms way? Because parents are tattoo bigots? Do you have any cases where children were kicked out of their homes for telling their parents that they want a tattoo? I’m not sure you could come up with a weaker argument. Also, do you know which parents are capable of harming their children? I’m guessing not. So why would you want to even entertain the possibility that a parent might harm their child? There is most likely a reason they would tell a teacher, and not their parents. What do you think the reason could be?
@@DylanYoung “psychiatrist vigilante”. Really? A teacher providing a safe space for a child to be their true selves is a vigilante? I think you should take a seat.
QDMD, as a father of a child WHOSE child committed suicide last Sept due to much of this topic, thanks for this video. I share about 99% of everything you said here. I do have to say much of what schools are doing, be it teachers willingly or not are teaching it, is grooming. Take it from a parent who has lived it and suffered the ultimate loss. Thanks for the toonie.
I agree with some points, not all Quick. Kids all have problems and need guidance. Parents should be the ones to give them the spiritual, ethical, and moral guidance to become positive members into society. Teachers role............ Common Sense, and teach them to write their name, so when they have to sign something, they can.
Some excellent points in here, but I don't think a lot of people understand just how big of a problem we are dealing with. There are actual conferences, zoom meetings, workshops and courses for teachers specifically on how to trans kids without their parents knowing, and how to get around these new laws, which they misrepresent completely and lie about to get people on board with them. They are pretty open about their goals, if you know where to look. A lot of these kids in school are being *taught* to be trans, and it's mostly their teachers and guidance councillors as well as online "influencers" that are convincing them of this. Gender dysphoria is rare and extremely difficult to live with. And it is people with gender dysphoria - the real ones - that are saying, kids cannot be trans. They may be gender confused, and the school system is certainly making that happen, but most kids either grow out of it after puberty, or turn out to be gay - and they're not allowed to be gay anymore. They must be trans. And by trans, they don't even mean transexual anymore, because they deny the gender binary. They've redefined the term. With real gender dysphoria, they uphold the gender binary. They have no choice; that's the root of the pain their dysphoria. And it *is* pain. Anyone who talks about "trans joy" isn't trans. Anyone who uses anything other than male or female pronouns isn't trans. Anyone who doesn't try to "pass" isn't trans (not passing triggers the pain of dysphoria). The term "trans" is now being used to mean "transcend" or "transform". So that rise in depression and suicidal feelings among children right now? That is directly related to them being convinced they are something they are not. They are even being taught that if they don't medically transition, they *will* off themselves. And don't think that living in a small town means it's not happening in your schools, too. It is. As for the flag and the cross walks, 10 years ago, I would have agreed with you. Now, even people in the LGBT community are saying, that flag no longer represents us. It has become a hate flag. Right now, flying that flag has become not much different than flying a swastika. Yes, I'm serious. Activists flying that flag are literally calling for violence and death on anyone who disagrees with them. and anything short of total and complete support and affirmation of their position is branded as "hate" and deserving of abuse. It does not represent the gay community anymore. And heaven help someone who is gay or trans for real, and tries to speak out against what is being done in "their" name. The attacks they get are really quite alarming.
Thank you for this. Yes, there is a huge systemic push, with full cooperation from the unions, to confuse kids in schools. Nothing else gets this kind of attention. My Board has several Pride-type clubs that they actively support; there are zero academic clubs that get the same treatment. It's obvious what their priorities are, the only question is: why?
@@revolioclockman8090 this is a culmination of decades by ideologues. They took the long game. Under our noses, they gained power in the institutions. Specifically our universities. Now, all our more recently graduated teachers, politicians, lawyers, etc. have gone through a Marxist indoctrination, and they've reached the point where they openly brag about being "trained Marxists". Marxism is against private property. They view children as the property of parents, and believe they actually belong to the state - meaning, themselves. It's about power, destroying the "system", destroying capitalism (at least their definition of it) and ushering in their Marxist utopia. (h/t to Dr. Borysenko for identifying the goals while going under cover and infiltrating their meetings and conferences) I used to follow a sociology blog, some 20+ years ago. It was very interesting, at first. It was also the first time I saw people who celebrated Marx' birthday. When I first saw that, I thought it had to be satire, since that would be like celebrating Hitler, Mao, Stalin or Mussolini. But no, the writer was serious. In a very short time, I had to stop following the blog, as it became this bizarre Marxist platform, and no longer had much to do with sociology at all. Now, these same people are having huge socialist conferences down in the States. It just blows me away.
I can confirm what is being directed at teachers. My son is finishing his teaching degree and I see the textbooks and the indoctrination literature. It is all very alarming. I pray he ends up teaching at a small colony school where he doesn’t have to deal with shit. In my opinion, no gender changing drugs or operations should occur until the brain has fully developed - which is on average 26 years of age. Further, we are short on doctors and surgery times for average run of the mill issues. Our infrastructure cannot handle the current increase in immigration either. Why are we using resources for transitioning children while their grandparents and parents wait for at least 18 months for hip surgery so they can walk without pain or for a child to get a surgery time for actual birth defects.
This is a great point. Absolutely the parents must be an integral part of the conversation... I believe that people should do what they want to in the privacy of their own home. If they are a man and love men... giver. If they're a woman and love other women... also giver. If you want to be a transvestite, do it at home or at the burlesque show but don't go to the kindergarten classroom. I don't know what it's like in Saskatchewan, but here in BC the government is allowing big, burley, hairy men into the ladies change room at the local pool where little girls change their clothes because these men identify as women??? I would be fearful of using the change rooms myself and I'm a grown ass woman. Schools have provided litter boxes for kids identifying as furries FFS!!! Seriously? Schools have illustrated books on how to give blow jobs and telling kids it's okay if your father touches you in private places - in elementary schools!!! I have seen these books. These activities are not okay and put our kids in danger. This is the basis for most parents' protests in our areas. I can't imagine having the conversation that my child is gay. However, I know that I would love my child and support them the best I can. Having said that, I believe that a person is able to love the same sex without cutting off their parts to be part of that sex or taking hormones and puberty blockers. Those things cannot be reversed and are very damaging to their bodies - the hormones wreck their systems and prevent them from having kids of their own. Talk about major depression if a person changes their mind after having these surgeries and taking the drugs. And, some of the surgeries (like giving a woman a penis or a man a vagina) are major failures where the parts don't work and they are constantly infected and the limbs where the skin is taken from are grossly deformed.
Well, that was a bunch of BS all in one comment. Do you have proof of anything that you claimed? Don’t you find it odd, for example, that in this day and age, with everyone having a camera on their phone, that we haven’t seen one photo, of video of these litter boxes that you’re claiming are in classrooms?
@@BigWreckd 😂😂😂 There are. Don't you think that when an agenda is being pushed by the federal government (there is documented proof of this) that there will also be censorship? And there is LOTS of censorship. Not all schools have this but some do. I have seen pictures and heard accounts by decent people I trust. On the other hand, I don't have to provide you proof of anything. Go do some research on your own. You'll be sickened by what you find.
Amen Brother, Amen....I still don't agree with using my tax dollars on painting stupid colored crosswalks. What would happen if we painted the original rainbow from Genesis on the crosswalks, and let everybody know what it meant?? Yep, they'd be covered up ASAP.
I'm glad no one has (or the Canadian flag, for that matter) because then it would be disrespected everytime someone drove over it. Like, the first rule of flags is that you raise them. Putting a flag on the ground is quite literally asking for it to be disrespected.
In my childhood, Canada was the dream of freedom and a liberal-conservative way of thinking (personal responsibility with a public team spirit, new things are introduced when they have proven that they are better and not because they are new). I see that the great leader has this country transformed into a gender-fluid China light. Disarmament is going on very diligently, how long will it take until the social credit system is implemented?
The first casualty in any war is the truth. It seems like that has been lost at every level of decision making, problem, and idea. Thank you for speaking about working to be united - because divided we all fall. The world has become a place that is difficult to simply be, for everyone. Thank you QDM.
I think QDM needs to take a beat on this one. When you have your own kids you will view this differently. The parents must be involved and informed, period. The teachers need to keep their involvement to the bare curriculum and cut out all the other nonsense. We wouldn't be having these discussions if there weren't some (yes, SOME) teachers crossing the line. In regards to why people object to other "community stuff", maybe people are just tired of having to bow down to it all the time.
Teachers need to collectively get their shit together and start actually teaching. Kids across the country are struggling with reading and basic math and you can't just blame it on Covid. In my perfect world, a high school graduate should have a general understanding of taxes, our three systems of government, how our courts work, and how to legally start a business. Plus a number of specific technical skills relevant to the student. Right now, they can barely find Ottawa on a map without Google.
When I first read your comment, I almost thought you were serious! Need the sarcasm warning! Lol. "Why would parents need to know about pronoun or name changes!" Rotfl. Sure, why stop there! Why do parents need to see report cards, or get called if they get injured at school! Or in a fight! Man. The left has really lost the plot, I'm just glad they aren't hiding their insanity anymore so everyone can see it
@@revolioclockman8090 Did you know that governments approve the curriculum? The teachers may have some part in discussions but they don't decide what the curriculum is.
One thing I'll say about teachers being responsible for raising kids...is that they aren't. Being responsible means who deal with the outcome, good or bad. Teachers, once the students leave their class, usually never see them again. I'm in Ontario and, in our Board, every single parent, every single year, gets a letter stating that the Board takes zero responsibility for student safety and parents are 100% responsible for any medical costs arising from anything that happens *at school*. They then offer to sell us insurance.
Cheers Quick Dick! As a parent, I view the situation as if my kids are afraid to talk to me about an issue like this, it means I am failing as a parent. While I may not be comfortable if my kids wanted to change their identity, I still want to support them as I know it isn’t an easy thing to go through from any standpoint
so rational and heart centered. I love it. let's just try to get along. imagine that! I am so happy to see that a good man is getting so much exposure. this is the exact sentiment we need in this country. keep up the amazing work!
Thank you Quick Dick. The messages you send out are amazing and well thought out. I know I enjoy opening every one of them, and it makes my days better. It looks easy for you, but I know you are putting a ton of effort and work into everything. I am sure it is exhausting for you. Know that it is being well received and greatly appreciated!
On the topic of communication, it is of the utmost importance that we keep the gates of communication open with our children. I have always communicated with my children. And instilled in them the importance of communication. And that's one of the biggest problems we have nowadays, is the lack of communication. We as parents need to always communicate with our children, even if they don't want to. If we stay in constant communication with our children, suicide, and attempted suicide, rates would go down. Some of you might say, " Oh but we don't have the time. Blah blah blah." There are 24 hours in a day. 5, maybe even 10 mins a day wouldn't kill you. Would it? We, as parents, need to be there for our children 24 hrs a day. It's sad that we have to have a bill in order for parents to be actual parents. Very sad.
Parents are the legal guardians of their kids no one else. If a kid suffers from gender disphoria or depression a doctor or psy is needed not a pronoun change done secretly. A rainbow crosswalk is not up to the road code , crossing are to be painted either white or yellow. But you had great points in your video brother ✌️
Wise words QDM, thanks for bringing this up, beautifully practical, caring and balanced. It reminds me a little of the NZ Prime Minister addressing the UN after Donald Trump a couple of years back. Among other things she said "In a world where you can be anything; be kind to one another." Amen to that.
Parents ARE THE MOST important person in a CHILDS life But the Education system trying to reduce or take away OUR RIGHTS as a parent . LEAVE OUR KIDS ALONE
I understand most of your points and I have friends on both sides of the aisle, so I’m not being biased and both sides agree that there needs to be a line in the sand. Pride month started with a parade, then a week long celebration, then pride month. Our Veterans get ONE day. A cold day in November. None of what’s happening today,good or bad,could have happened without the bravery of those men and women, yet they get ONE day!!!! I supported the pride parade for many years until it morphed into something different. So I can totally understand the repulsion of some people towards it. As for the NHL, I’m glad they’ve cut it out. Play the damn game. You’re payed to play not virtue signal.
For sure. I know many gay people who are alienated by the direction of Pride. Like how "Equality" morphed into "Equity", the message has gone from tolerance to acceptance to support.
I was going to say get outta my head but honestly you're dead bang on and you've said it better than I could! And it's not just in Saskatchewan; it's across the country and in fact globally the stuff I've seen online & read on both sides of the coin. Let kids be kids and hopefully the parents/guardians will help positively guide them as they grow up into adults.
Don’t forget: School teachers are government workers. “Government” fails in all things it sets out to accomplish. We’re really scraping the rust from a bone dry barrel when arguing over what schools should be doing with our children. They should be totally defunded, and teacher should be looking for work as Walmart greeters.
I'll add that the blame for this situation also falls on parents. Schools are not supposed to be cheap daycare so both parents can work, but that seems to be how a lot of us treat it. Few parents speak to their kids' teacher more than a couple of times per year, fewer still actually volunteer in the schools. Many parents can't even seem to be arsed to send their kids proper lunches, hence "snack programs". Everytime parents drop the ball, the government can pick it up and claim it's now "their responsibility". We got the mess because we walked away from the stove, now it's time to clean up and get to cooking.
@@revolioclockman8090 (to piggyback off your analogy) Me and my wife have cleaned up and taken over the stove completely. Both our kids are homeschooled and it’s the best decision we could have made. I get it “not all of us can afford homeschooling”. We couldn’t either. But we’re managing. Because my kids are worth it.
Schools and government need to keep their noses out of parents and kids business, it's the parents that brought these kids to this world so let the parents decide how to raise their kids and not the government, Schools. The government can't even take care their own problems and now this it's bull shit.
I am a crisis responder who talks with these kids as well as parents and all the rest every day, it is Very Hard to hear some of the things that I hear. It is Very Good to hear what QD has to say as he hits the nail right on! If more people could follow what was said here I would have less work for sure! Thanks for sharing QD!!
Alll humans listen up this guy is hitting the nail on the head. It's not wrong to be different than some else. Differences make us human. Thanks quick Dick
Wise words as usual. However , to much of a good thing is a bad thing. The constant and incessant “support “ being forced, and yes it is forced, upon us will only serve to create hatred for sidewalks etc,
Something I was recently thinking about: For the last 30 years, we have basically bottomed out on homophobia, racism, and bigotry in general. There has never been a more tolerant time in history. Then they started pushing BLM/Pride in schools in the mid-2010s. Suddenly we're awash with "hate groups" but also actual hate groups. I've never seem more open racism/homophobia and overtly racist/homophobic groups than today. So, the question is: if hate is really what these identity politicials are trying to eradicate, how come it's gotten so much worse since they got into the schools?
You touched on it about the Government. Government thrives on division so don’t expect any politician to work at fixing this. Parents and the School Boards can work this out.
Loved it! You are hitting the nail right on the head with this one. Moved to Ontario from Sask 2 years ago. Not gonna lie. I miss Sask. Lived there for 32 years. Prarie boy till I die.
It's sick here in the USA my daughter in 4th grad comes home to tell me a councilor came into her class to say "It's OK if a student likes a student of the same sex, you should not make fun of them for that." I pulled my daughter out of the school immediately, it is not right for them to have a conversation with my child behind my back. He's right, you have to have my permission for a field trip but to corner my kid and talk sexual preferences with them without my permission! No fucking way.
