00:00:00.000 It's a non-starter.
00:00:01.620 Right.
00:00:02.000 And as I set up in the new parental resource and why parents, even if they're not Christian, they should be embracing our Christian roots.
00:00:11.280 Because the Bible is very clear.
00:00:12.980 It made the top ten commandments to say, children, honor your father and your mother.
00:00:17.880 And it's the only commandment with a promise that says, and it will go well with you.
00:00:22.140 You know, so they're not only disrupting the relationship between parents and children, but they're robbing children of future blessings in honoring their parents.
00:00:34.420 And it has been a very sinister agenda to break down the family unit and societal norms.
00:00:41.880 And that's why we need, it's a 911 to get as many Canadians across Canada to sign up with Action for Canada.
00:00:48.460 You are modeling what is to be done at the local level and how you can continue to press in and apply pressure to these school boards.
00:00:59.200 Because these are no longer, they're not traditional school boards.
00:01:04.560 These people that have been elected.
00:01:07.340 And I truly, other than activism and the activist side of it, making sure that they have, you know, their tribe showing up to elect these individuals and outnumbering us.
00:01:19.300 And that's why I'm saying the churches need to get involved in.
00:01:22.320 Canadians need to wake up.
00:01:23.520 You need to take the responsibility to find out who these people are and elect them.
00:01:27.380 Because currently, it's an epidemic across the country.
00:01:30.280 We have activists currently sitting on the boards that are advancing a political, LGBTQ is political, make no mistake about it.
00:01:41.520 And they're advancing this political agenda at the school board level and censoring anybody that would oppose them.
00:01:51.160 And so on that, Jay, do you have something further to add or do you want to go to that first clip?
00:01:55.300 Oh, just something real quick.
00:01:56.260 I would say you're right.
00:01:57.000 Yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:01:57.120 It is political.
00:01:59.220 Ron LeClaire ran as an NDP in a provincial election that I also ran in.
00:02:05.060 And also Gail Hatfield, her husband, Percy Hatfield, also NDP.
00:02:10.820 And when the first article came out about what was happening, we were telling them, they called us book activists, but we're not book activists.
00:02:16.620 We're good with books that are good.
00:02:18.840 We just have a problem with books that are printographic for kids, whether it's written or if it's visual.
00:02:23.300 And so, yeah, they have definitely a political, we'll say, line on what they are actually trying to achieve.
00:02:35.060 What I would actually say, and I wanted to say this when I was going to speak on faith in GECDSP before I was denied, was one thing that we should say, too, and recognize is that their religion is humanism.
00:02:46.200 They believe that they are the ones who get to define morality.
00:02:50.900 And they don't want to acknowledge that, but they do want, and they did prior to, there's a One Million March for Kids that we did in 23.
00:02:57.000 I know it wasn't very supportive, but I would just say that there was, I'll put it this way.
00:03:00.900 There was a lot of support, we'll say, against what they were doing.
00:03:04.180 I'll put it that way.
00:03:04.840 But they're causing, they wanted kids prior to that show of support, a thousand, they wanted kids to basically bend the knee and bow the head to the pride flag.
00:03:17.640 They told them that in the morning, this is what we're going to do, and you're going to do it.
00:03:21.160 And you're going to respect what we say that you need to respect, but the kids are like, what are we doing?
00:03:26.520 Right. So after, the four I'm getting at is that the board responded to the opposition, and they backed off in the following year.
00:03:33.620 So you won't get the satisfaction of a, oh, we're so sorry, parents, we didn't realize that we were dishonoring you.
00:03:40.520 They're not going to come out and do that, but they do respond to the pressure.
00:03:43.640 And that did happen in the next year.
00:03:46.220 They backed off on some of the fours, the training, the videos on the PD days, these type of things that I've heard from the teachers.
00:03:51.080 So it does work. It is effective. And we just have to realize what success is.
00:03:57.120 And sometimes it's a turning. It takes time. We didn't get here overnight. It's been a decade.
