00:00:00.060 The woke left is winning the culture war here in Canada and the people being punished the most are kids.
00:00:05.860 I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:12.520 Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning in.
00:00:14.440 Now you know on The Candice Malcolm Show we like to talk about culture, not just politics.
00:00:17.680 You know the main focus of True North and the main focus of The Candice Malcolm Show is usually federal politics,
00:00:22.940 but there are so many other aspects of our society that are just as important and that have a huge impact on politics.
00:00:28.560 And one of those is culture. We talk about the culture war a lot.
00:00:31.220 We talk about the ideology of the woke left.
00:00:34.520 They demand intellectual conformity.
00:00:37.700 Everybody must think the exact same thoughts or you get cancelled.
00:00:40.780 You can't even be part of the conversation unless you agree that Canada is a racist, historically, systemically racist, genocidal state.
00:00:49.600 If you don't believe and accept those terms, then you can't even be part of the conversation.
00:00:54.960 We see this sort of steamrolling of their opposition wherever they go and they have crept into every aspect of our society.
00:01:01.880 It's not just the Trudeau government, although it's certainly prevalent there, but it's prevalent across corporate Canada.
00:01:06.720 You see so many people getting removed from their corporate positions because of something that they've said or even something that they've liked on Twitter.
00:01:13.260 We see this now throughout sports as well. The NHL, NFL, NBA, they've all gone woke.
00:01:19.400 We see this in universities. Universities are the worst offenders.
00:01:22.640 They were the first ones to do it and they've exported it all throughout society.
00:01:25.940 We still see it there.
00:01:26.980 We see this in schools, elementary schools, high schools, school districts across the country.
00:01:32.260 And again, one of the other worst offenders. Universities are the worst.
00:01:35.340 The other is certainly the legacy media, the mainstream media.
00:01:38.040 We see how, again, they push this idea. We saw Evan Solomon in that interview with Jean Chrétien basically trying to force the former prime minister to say that residential schools weren't about education.
00:01:48.800 They were about committing genocide and trying to, again, push that ideology.
00:01:53.340 So we talk a lot about this divisive, reductive, despicable ideology that is the woke left.
00:01:59.900 But what we don't talk a lot about on the show is how it impacts children, how it impacts kids.
00:02:04.460 And so I'd like to go in and talk about that today.
00:02:07.480 First, though, if you enjoy the Candace Malcolm show and you like what we're doing here, please consider heading on over to tnc.news slash donate and give us a modest donation.

00:02:38.560 Okay, I have a lot of examples.
00:02:40.260 I have a lot of data points here that I'd like to get through.
00:02:42.320 So I'm going to go through them fairly quickly.
00:02:44.240 So first things first, the reason that I wanted to cover this topic, that the thing that sparked this idea to cover this today was that I got a tip from a viewer.
00:02:52.900 Somebody forwarded me an email that had been sent to their children's school.
00:02:56.880 So this is an email that was sent to a school in the Ottawa area.
00:03:01.000 And again, it is about the woke left pushing their ideology, this time in the form of cultural appropriation.
00:03:06.800 So we're told that if you're Canadian, if you're of European ancestry, if you look like me, you are not allowed to dress up in other cultures because that is offensive.
00:03:16.320 That's cultural appropriation.
00:03:17.760 And it is wrong.
00:03:18.960 And so here we get the hectoring message from the school, from the principal to the parents, reminding them that it is not okay to dress up like another culture on Halloween. 0.93
00:03:28.300 So it says this, with Halloween just a few days away, parents and guardians are searching for the perfect Halloween costume for their children.
00:03:34.120 As tempting as it may be to dress our children in what they would like to be, it is important to consider a more thoughtful approach about whether the costume is culturally sensitive and appropriate.
00:03:42.840 According to the Cambridge Dictionary, cultural appropriation is the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect the culture.
00:03:54.220 Halloween is a fun event.
00:03:55.540 And with some creativity and imagination, parents can help their children with deciding on a costume that aligns with a culturally sensitive Halloween.
00:04:02.960 Being proactive can help all of us to avoid uncomfortable situations at school and in our community and can help us ensure that Halloween is a fun event where students feel safe and honored.
00:04:13.880 So according to this school, Halloween isn't about fun.
00:04:16.900 It isn't about kids feeling scared and getting excited about trick-or-treating and all the decorations.
00:04:21.520 It isn't about creativity and using your imagination.
00:04:24.680 It isn't even about the kids.
00:04:26.100 Halloween is about feeling safe and feeling honored.
00:04:30.000 I don't even really want to get into the whole argument behind cultural appropriation because it's just so stupid.
00:04:35.420 The entire history of all of the world is a history of trade, of collaboration, sometimes of war, usually of war.
00:04:42.240 But in the modern day, certainly collaboration, trade, freedom of movement, and just the entire concept of a globalized world.
00:04:50.400 And so this idea that somehow certain cultures are carved out and belong to some people and therefore you can't dress up as them is just stupid.
00:04:57.880 It's wrong.
00:04:58.320 It takes the fun and takes the joy out of Halloween.
00:05:01.020 I will make a small note, though, when reading this letter, all I could think of is Justin Trudeau, our embarrassing prime minister, dressing up in blackface over and over and over again, not just as a student in his own high school, although there is a picture of him as a student in his own high school in blackface, but then again as a teacher, as a teacher, an almost 30-year-old teacher, a grown man wearing blackface in a school yearbook.
00:05:23.200 So that whole line about wanting to avoid uncomfortable situations at school in our community, that's sort of a nod to how Justin Trudeau just made the whole country cringe, made everyone cringe, even at the time, even when he was a teacher in the late 90s wearing blackface.
00:05:38.660 Everyone knew it was wrong, and you can see the expression on people's face in the background, kind of looking like, what is that guy doing?
00:05:45.440 What is wrong with Justin Trudeau?
00:05:46.940 Why would he do that?
00:05:47.900 So a little bit of humor there.
00:05:49.840 Justin Trudeau should take the advice, I guess, of the woke mob.
00:05:52.940 But really, Halloween is a time to dress up and have fun, and the last thing we want is the left trying to take fun away.
00:06:00.620 But this is totally a theme throughout Canada.
00:06:03.020 Wherever we go, wherever we look, we see school boards and schools trying to cancel Halloween, trying to take the fun out of childhood.
00:06:09.640 So this is according to City News.
00:06:11.280 The Waterloo Region District School Board tries to cancel Halloween.
00:06:15.600 No Halloween celebration at these schools this year.
00:06:18.160 Don't expect ghouls, ghosts, or goblins at any school in Waterloo this Halloween.
00:06:23.080 The school board has decided to scrap Halloween plans for 2021 in an effort to make schools more inclusive.
00:06:29.340 The Superintendent of Student Achievement said this.
00:06:33.380 Those include cultural reasons, socioeconomic reasons, and personal reasons.
00:06:37.580 And we are trying to really focus on fostering a sense of inclusion in our school,
00:06:41.640 which means we must respect the decisions of those who choose not to participate
00:06:46.140 and those who cannot participate in these kinds of activities.
00:06:49.560 We have to recognize Halloween in itself is not essential for learning,
00:06:53.920 and Halloween this year doesn't fall on a school day.
00:06:57.480 So he says that the pandemic has given them an opportunity to examine their normal routine
00:07:02.100 and whether it serves all children in the same way.
00:07:06.060 So here you go.
00:07:07.160 Unless an activity serves all children in the exact same way.
00:07:10.880 In other words, unless we have complete conformity, complete communism, the exact same outcome,
00:07:16.300 equality of outcome, then it's not even worth doing something like this.
00:07:20.080 They say that the idea is not inclusive enough.
00:07:22.800 And that's it.
00:07:23.820 No more Halloween.
00:07:25.180 Forget about the whole idea.
00:07:26.540 Forget about the whole history.
00:07:27.580 All the traditions.
00:07:28.600 It doesn't matter anymore.
00:07:29.600 It doesn't fit in with the left's ideology.
00:07:31.880 And therefore, they're just simply not having it.
00:07:34.460 There is so much more.
00:07:35.760 Now, this is something of a theme.
00:07:37.300 So in Ontario, even the places that are allowing Halloween are putting strict requirements
00:07:42.800 and harsh rules onto those kids who are trying to have fun and enjoy Halloween.
00:07:48.000 So according to officials in the Ontario government, it says that children are not allowed to yell,
00:07:53.180 trick-or-treat, or sing, or be closer than one meter to other kids on Halloween while trick-or-treating.
00:07:59.100 Again, trying to just completely take all the fun out of this holiday.
00:08:02.680 And again, just punishing children for the sake of punishing children
00:08:06.680 because the activities that they like don't conform with our ideology.
00:08:11.880 Here's another one from CBC News Kids.
00:08:14.540 Can kids go trick-or-treating this year?
00:08:16.180 Tips for a safe Halloween.
00:08:17.700 So here it says public health authorities are saying that costume masks,
00:08:20.820 the masks that come with your costumes, don't count as medical masks.
00:08:24.220 So if you're going to go out trick-or-treating, even if you're wearing a mask,
00:08:27.160 you should wear another medical mask underneath it,
00:08:29.940 even though you're outside, even though you're going from door to door,
00:08:32.540 even though your interactions with other people are usually really brief on Halloween
00:08:36.240 and all the statistics that we know about COVID shows that you can track COVID
00:08:40.040 from being next to someone for a longer period of time, 10, 15 minutes,
00:08:44.040 not just a brief interaction, not outside, not while you're socially distancing,
00:08:48.740 not where you're already having face protection, even if it's not a medical mask.
00:08:52.800 Regardless, the health authorities want to have their fingers in every aspect of our lives,
00:08:57.080 and that includes Halloween.
00:08:58.080 So they're doing everything that they can to ensure that kids just simply do not have fun.
00:09:04.420 And of course, we know that these rules don't simply apply on Halloween.
00:09:07.640 Yes, the health authorities and the left mob and the left bullies in schools are going into
00:09:13.780 overtime right now to try to ensure that kids don't have fun on Halloween.
00:09:17.060 But these kind of measures exist every single day.
00:09:19.940 It's not just a Halloween thing, even though we see the sort of authoritarian impulse really come out
00:09:25.320 at a time like Halloween where people just don't want anyone to have fun.
00:09:28.840 They want complete control of kids' lives.
00:09:32.240 But this does exist every day.
00:09:33.840 So I'm going to go through some of the things that are happening in elementary schools.
00:09:37.160 But first, I want to talk a little bit about the risk of COVID to little kids
00:09:41.480 because we see so many measures in schools.
00:09:43.760 We see this whole idea that kids now have to wear masks starting in kindergarten,
00:09:48.060 the idea that they're pushing forced vaccinations now for little kids,
00:09:51.780 the idea of socially distancing.
00:09:53.420 We even see these ridiculous cubicles where kids have plexiglass between them.
00:09:58.400 Just stop for a minute and try to imagine what this is doing to little kids today.
00:10:02.900 Growing up, little kids like my son who's just learning how to communicate
00:10:06.440 and the idea that he would have to wear a mask at school completely hinders his ability to communicate.
00:10:11.780 Remember that when you're little and you're learning to talk, you're learning to communicate.
00:10:14.900 So much of communication is nonverbal.
00:10:16.920 And so the fact that he can't see another child's face and another child can't see his face,
00:10:21.580 the teacher can't see his face, imagining the kind of damage that that does to a child
00:10:26.180 and their ability to develop, not to mention a child who has a learning disability
00:10:31.600 or a developmental disability, what kind of an impact that will do.
00:10:35.060 It's truly, truly just despicable to see them try to impose these kind of measures,
00:10:40.020 force masks, social distancing to little kids trying to learn.
00:10:44.200 But before I get into some of the crazy rules that we see out there,
00:10:48.340 I just want to pause for a minute and talk about the actual risk to kids.
00:10:52.440 Now, first, I'm going to show this clip from the Joe Rogan experience.
00:10:56.380 So Joe Rogan had the CNN health expert, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, on the show.
00:11:00.540 Now, first of all, just props to Dr. Sanjay for actually showing up and doing this interview.
00:11:04.780 He's the chief medical correspondent over at CNN.
00:11:07.960 He's become famous throughout this pandemic, but he's also said a lot of really crazy, controversial things.
00:11:12.480 And so props for him for going and having this conversation with Joe Rogan.
00:11:16.320 But let me just say that the conversation didn't go very well for Dr. Sanjay.
00:11:20.320 There were so many instances where Joe Rogan, now Joe Rogan is, you know, a layman.
00:11:25.280 He's not an expert.
00:11:26.260 He's not a doctor.
00:11:27.140 He's not a scientist.
00:11:28.060 And yet he still basically has Dr. Sanjay Gupta's number.
00:11:32.120 He gets him on a number of points.
00:11:33.960 And that's why so many of these clips are going viral.
00:11:36.120 But one of the clips that really stood out to me was this clip of Joe Rogan talking about the threat and the risk to kids with COVID, comparing that to the risk of a fully vaccinated adult, an adult that has had double vaccination, what the risks are of COVID for a double vaccinated adult versus the risk of a totally unvaccinated child.
00:11:56.440 So let's play this clip.
00:11:57.820 Don't you think that even with a breakthrough infection, untreated, you're probably more vulnerable than the average child who is not vaccinated, who gets COVID?
00:12:07.600 Like people have died who are double vaccinated.
00:12:10.960 In fact, there was a guy who just won an Emmy.
00:12:12.920 Yeah, I saw that.
00:12:13.980 The odds of that happening to a healthy child are very, very low.
00:12:18.140 Very low.
00:12:18.600 But that guy is probably your age.
00:12:20.580 How old are you?
00:12:21.380 I'm 51.
00:12:21.980 Yeah, it's about your age.
00:12:23.580 Theoretically, you would be more vulnerable than a young child would be.
00:12:27.660 You vaccinated would be more vulnerable of a breakthrough infection than a young child would be, statistically speaking.
00:12:34.160 Right?
00:12:34.560 But you're not worried.
00:12:35.980 They're both rare.
00:12:36.900 But you're not worried about catching it.
00:12:38.940 You're not worried about catching it because you've been vaccinated and you think it imparts a certain amount of protection.
00:12:44.040 What I'm saying to you is I think that not worry is the same feeling that a lot of people have about their children.
00:12:49.660 They're not worried about their healthy children catching it for the same reason you're not worried about catching it being vaccinated.
00:12:56.220 That if treated correctly, they think that the child probably has a better chance even than you do because you're 51 years old.
00:13:06.040 I think.
00:13:06.800 Is that.
00:13:07.420 I mean, they're both.
00:13:08.820 That seems reasonable, right?
00:13:09.800 Well, I think it's I don't I know the story about this.
00:13:13.900 Fifty three year old.
00:13:14.600 I'm saying with your attitude that you're not worried about catching it because you've been vaccinated and you're a healthy guy.
00:13:21.280 That is the exact same feeling that people have about vaccinating their children.
00:13:26.060 If they have healthy children and they know that statistically speaking, there's so few children that have died from COVID.
00:13:32.660 Well, yeah, there are.
00:13:34.880 It's like I think 500 or so out of millions and millions and millions of kids that probably have been exposed.
00:13:40.380 Yeah.
00:13:40.520 And but, you know, it's again, part of it is is not defining this in terms of life and death.
00:13:46.320 I think you understand my point.
00:13:48.480 Well, are you suggesting I get boosted?
00:13:50.360 I'm not saying that.
00:13:51.340 What I'm saying is your attitude about not being concerned because you have antibodies and you think you would get through it, even if you had a breakthrough infection.
00:14:00.500 That is the exact same attitude that a lot of young people have where they don't want to get a shot because they're worried about the consequences, even though they're incredibly small consequences of the vaccine, incredibly small.
00:14:13.140 But the VAERS report they do have deaths.
00:14:16.980 So, again, just great point there by Joe Rogan.
00:14:19.520 And it got me thinking about the numbers in Canada.
00:14:21.720 You heard in that clip how Joe Rogan talked about how a couple of hundred kids had died of COVID in the U.S.
00:14:26.900 So I wanted to see what the numbers were like in Canada.
00:14:29.780 And it is truly shocking.
00:14:31.440 These numbers will shock you.
00:14:32.780 You don't hear about this a lot in the media.
00:14:34.740 And again, if you were to ask the everyday Canadian, average Canadian out there, what they thought about the number of people who had died, given the extreme measures that we are seeing in schools, I guarantee that they would guess a number a lot higher.
00:14:46.960 So first, I'll just say that according to this data, Stats Canada, which takes all the data from the various health authorities and compiles it together.
00:14:53.680 So the age group that has had the most number of cases, the highest case number for COVID are those under the age of 2019 and younger have accounted for 20.7% of all COVID cases in Canada.
00:15:07.420 There's been nearly 350,000 positive cases of COVID, 348,407 positive cases.
00:15:15.120 So the group that has had COVID the most has also had the lowest deaths from COVID.
00:15:21.280 So according again to these official data from Health Canada, of those 350,000 cases of the 28,800 people in Canada who have died of COVID, the number of people who have died of COVID under the age of 20 is 17.
00:15:35.940 Not 17,000, not 1,700, 17 deaths.
00:15:40.200 So this makes up 0.1% of all COVID deaths and therefore the death rate of anyone dying from COVID under the age of 20 is 0.002%.
00:15:53.300 0.002%.
00:15:55.900 So in other words, this isn't the biggest risk for kids under 20.
00:15:59.920 In fact, it isn't even in the top 10 biggest risks for deaths.
00:16:03.860 Again, 17 people have died of COVID under the age of 20.
00:16:07.480 When you look at just something else, suicide and self-harm, the number of deaths from suicide and self-harm in a given year in Canada is somewhere in the 30s.
00:16:15.400 It was 36 in 2008, 32 in 2019.
00:16:19.720 And again, this isn't the annual rate of people who have died of COVID, this 17 figure.
00:16:24.280 This is in the life of COVID.
00:16:25.880 And again, we're into year two.
00:16:27.260 We're almost at the two-year mark of COVID.
00:16:30.460 And we have seen 17 deaths.
00:16:32.680 Compare that to 115 annual deaths from cancer, 125 on average deaths from accidental deaths or injuries.
00:16:40.820 And then you have 17 deaths for COVID.
00:16:43.780 The number of kids that die from heart disease, liver disease, and pneumonia is approximately the same in a year as die from COVID.
00:16:52.420 And one more thing to keep in mind, another caveat.
00:16:54.880 We remember in that story that came out last week about the 14-year-old boy in Alberta who sadly died of a stage 4 brain tumor, brain cancer.
00:17:04.720 He was included in the COVID health counts.
00:17:06.740 We saw the media plaster how Alberta had had its youngest COVID case until his family came out and said,
00:17:12.440 no, this is fake news.
00:17:13.420 This isn't true.
00:17:14.460 Our brother sadly died of cancer.
00:17:16.600 It had nothing to do with COVID.
00:17:18.120 We knew that he was dying.
00:17:19.220 We knew that he was going to die.
00:17:20.340 They happened to test him two days before his death, and it came out positive.
00:17:24.260 But COVID in no way contributed to his death.
00:17:27.220 And then Dr. Dina Hinshaw, the top doctor in Alberta, came out, apologized, walked it back,
00:17:32.320 and basically said that they were going to start doing reviews now on kids that were dying of COVID,
00:17:38.040 and they weren't just going to automatically include them in the count.
00:17:40.820 So that even makes you wonder, of the 17, how many other cases were sort of like that,
00:17:46.080 where someone died of something else, they happened to contract COVID on their deathbed,
00:17:50.760 and they were considered a COVID count.
00:17:53.620 I mean, really, we're trying to dig into these numbers right now.
00:17:57.160 At True North, we have a bunch of requests out trying to understand exactly the circumstances
00:18:01.900 of these 17 deaths.
00:18:03.500 But either way that you look at it, the chances of a child dying from COVID are incredibly low,
00:18:09.260 incredibly low.
00:18:09.960 So even if they get COVID, which a lot of kids do get COVID, they don't die of it.
00:18:13.960 They don't have the same, it doesn't impact them the same way as it impacts elderly people.
00:18:18.460 So you have to pause and think about why are we putting in all of these ridiculous measures
00:18:23.280 that really hinder a child's development, their ability to learn,
00:18:27.760 their ability to just be free and enjoy their youth and enjoy their childhood
00:18:31.780 and interact with their friends and all of these things that we took for granted,
00:18:36.120 I took for granted when I was growing up, aren't necessarily available to children today.
00:18:40.960 And as a society, we're just sort of letting it happen.
00:18:43.400 We're letting the woke left steamroll our institutions, steamroll our schools, 0.97
00:18:47.760 and letting them implement these insane measures on kids. 0.97
00:18:51.640 And it is just absolutely wrong and it needs to stop.
00:18:55.280 So I've got a couple more examples here of school boards just being absolutely insane
00:19:00.340 and ridiculous when it comes to little kids and these rules.
00:19:03.920 So this is a story over at truenorthtnc.news.
00:19:07.920 Ottawa trustee wants mandatory vaccines for students and online classes for the unvaccinated.
00:19:13.660 So an Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee, look at a picture of this lady.
00:19:18.020 She's exactly what she looks like.
00:19:20.040 She is pushing for mandatory vaccinations for all eligible students
00:19:24.240 and to corral unvaccinated kids into virtual schools.
00:19:28.200 Trustee Lyra Evans, who looks like a woke gender studies major,
00:19:32.000 she is seeking to implement the mandate beginning September 30th, 2021.
00:19:37.460 The motion states that students over the age of 12 will be required to partially vaccinate
00:19:41.900 against the COVID-19 virus or provide proof of medical exemption as of the 30th
00:19:47.360 and be fully vaccinated by the 20th of November to continue to be allowed in-person classes.
00:19:53.880 Any student who's not vaccinated against COVID virus after this date will be re-enrolled in a virtual school.
00:19:59.060 A month prior, the same trustee was behind a push to force masking on all kindergarten students.
00:20:05.740 So force vaccinations for little kids who have a very, very small risk of dying from COVID
00:20:10.540 and masks for kindergarten students according to this unhinged lunatic 0.52
00:20:15.660 who we have empowered to make decisions over our children.
00:20:19.860 It is absolutely outrageous.
00:20:21.660 The next thing that we are seeing are these desk shields now being sold on several different online marketplaces,
00:20:27.620 including Amazon.
00:20:28.980 Pictures show them used in classrooms around the world.
00:20:32.520 So far, there isn't any guidance from Canadian schools about mandating these desk shields,
00:20:36.820 but let me just tell you, it's coming.
00:20:38.780 It's coming.
00:20:39.340 We're seeing it all over the place.
00:20:41.140 Just look at this.
00:20:41.740 Can you imagine trying to learn an environment where you're basically forced into a cage?
00:20:46.080 This is just truly perverted.
00:20:47.500 Next, we see the Toronto District School Board stops kids from talking in schools to prevent the spread of COVID.
00:20:54.880 This was over at CTV News.
00:20:56.500 Toronto students told not to speak during lunch to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
00:21:01.600 CTV article is a collection of parents coming forward to say that they are disgusted with this directive
00:21:06.420 from the Toronto District School Board and saying that it is wrong.
00:21:10.640 A spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board confirmed the directive,
00:21:14.100 saying that it is based on the advice of Toronto Public Health.
00:21:16.820 We have required lunches to be brief and quiet.
00:21:20.200 By keeping talking to a minimum while eating, while masks are off,
00:21:23.660 we are reducing the possibility of spread of COVID-19.
00:21:27.980 And a teacher who requested to remain anonymous defends this action by saying that kids just shouldn't tell their parents
00:21:33.800 about the crazy things that teachers are making them do at school.
00:21:37.220 Basically saying that kids essentially shouldn't be telling their parents what goes on
00:21:41.700 because parents will have a negative reaction.
00:21:44.980 COVID spreads a lot around kids, but it doesn't really make them very sick.
00:21:48.820 In theory, the idea of putting in all these measures is to protect the teachers,
00:21:53.180 protect the administrators, because kids can contract COVID and it doesn't really impact them very much.
00:21:58.220 They don't really get sick.
00:21:59.060 They don't need to go to the hospital.
00:22:00.440 And very, very, very, very few of them die.
00:22:02.620 0.002% of them die.
00:22:05.360 So 17 out of 350,000.
00:22:08.180 So very, very, very small percentage of them die.
00:22:10.660 So the whole idea, presumably, behind all these measures is that even though the kids could get COVID and don't get sick,
00:22:17.140 what they don't want happening is them passing it on to the teachers who may get sick
00:22:21.440 or family members of those kids if the kids take it home.
00:22:24.780 But then just stop for a second and realize that the whole point behind vaccination is that as a society, we're all inoculated from it.
00:22:32.940 So the people who are vulnerable, the people like the parents, like the teachers who could get sick,
00:22:38.200 well, they have the choice to get vaccinated and therefore they're not really at risk anymore.
00:22:42.040 Just go back to that Joe Rogan example where the CNN health expert had to admit just that,
00:22:46.680 that children are at a lower risk of dying from COVID than a fully vaccinated adult.
00:22:51.660 And so you have to stop and wonder then, why are we taking all of these measures?
00:22:55.460 If teachers already have the choice of getting vaccinated, if parents already have the choice of getting vaccinated,
00:23:00.440 and if kids don't really get sick from COVID and very, very, very few of them die,
00:23:04.720 why are we taking all of these measures against kids at school?
00:23:08.360 Well, it's a simple answer.
00:23:09.520 It's about control.
00:23:10.640 It's about conformity.
00:23:11.900 It's about the left wanting the power.
00:23:13.740 They got a taste of the power during COVID.
00:23:15.360 They loved having that control, that power, those decisions, the ability to just really let their authoritarian impulse out.
00:23:23.840 And because they enjoyed it so much, they don't want to let it go.
00:23:26.720 And so they are continuing to focus it.
00:23:28.800 And it is our children who are bearing the brunt of it, who are forced to endure the most pain.
00:23:33.900 It is absolutely unacceptable.
