The elementary teachers federation of Ontario has been releasing some absolutely nutty content that they want being taught to children, and I wanted to cover it here for the National Telegram.

the elementary teachers federation of ontario has been releasing some absolutely nutty content
00:00:04.720
that they want being taught to children and i wanted to cover it here today for the national
00:00:08.640
telegram of course this might not be the biggest story on the planet of course everyone kind of
00:00:13.200
knows that teacher unions tend to lean very hard left and they of course believe in a lot of the
00:00:18.400
woke politics of the liberal party and the ndp but i think the etfo here actually deserves to have
00:00:25.760
a little bit more scrutiny put to them because they've released this new content that they've
00:00:30.560
sort of stapled onto their old lesson plan package they released in 2010 it's called like the re
00:00:35.840
uh i think it's like rethink reconnect and reimagine lesson plan baggage but this new part like the
00:00:44.480
old parts were already bad enough this new one is trying to teach children about white privilege and
00:00:50.080
sexism in such a way where i think any parent who sees this content would realize that what the etfo
00:00:57.440
is doing is essentially giving teachers instructions on how to manipulate children and make them feel
00:01:02.480
like bad people essentially shaming them with little kind of social games to make children believe that
00:01:10.640
they've somehow done something wrong it's using a very kind of gross form of guile in order to teach
00:01:17.440
a lesson which i feel like if you were teaching a good lesson you wouldn't even attempt to use in
00:01:21.840
the first place no one really you don't trick a child into learning a good something that's good
00:01:27.280
for them to know if you're tricking someone into doing something you're obviously up to no good at
00:01:32.800
least in my estimation this is the front page of the rethink reconnect and reimagine lesson plan
00:01:39.520
package that the etfo put out i think that any ontario parent who would read something like this
00:01:44.320
would immediately get the distinct impression that whoever designed it is a cultural marxist or
00:01:50.080
radical leftist the package constantly promotes the idea that equity is better than equality that
00:01:56.720
somehow the ontario academic system is colonialist and racist while at the same time it constantly
00:02:04.160
pushes the notion that certain children of different ethnic backgrounds can't learn the same way
00:02:09.120
which frankly to me seems extremely racist to act as if someone because someone is indigenous or
00:02:14.960
because someone is black or because someone's asian or because someone's white that they don't learn the
00:02:19.840
same way as a certain types of thinking are reserved for people of different skin colors it's extremely
00:02:26.720
strange but what i want to highlight most of all is the second uh little piece of uh of information that
00:02:33.920
i didn't dig up but an ontario teacher found here it is and i just want to read it out for everyone
00:02:40.800
because i think that just hearing it it should just be sending alarm bells off in your head of how wrong
00:02:46.160
this should be to teach to children so here it goes this is the best person in the world lesson plan
00:02:52.320
and this instructs teachers to have students brainstorm qualities that the best person in the world would
00:02:58.080
have using the prompts in appendix e write them on the board have each student think of three examples
00:03:03.840
of who might be the best person in the world tell them the people who can be famous or known to them
00:03:08.560
personally can be living or dead real or fictional ask students to share who they think are the best
00:03:14.080
person people in the world write them on the board if a student shares people like mom or police officer
00:03:19.600
you can just have a category rather than the name on it of an individual once you have filled the board with
00:03:25.040
names students are free to share more than their original three as they think of additional
00:03:29.360
examples underline all the men it will usually be a majority now i'm just going to stop reading
00:03:35.280
right there for a second just to reflect on how absurd all that is the etfo is describing this as
00:03:42.640
like sort of a statistical game to play with kids and if the kids pick a majority of men oh the
00:03:48.240
teachers got them they're going to go after little jimmy for somehow being a sexist because he picked
00:03:53.280
more men than women which is silly because unless the kids picked 50 names and 25 of them were men and
00:04:00.640
25 of them were women you're going to have a majority of one gender or the other and so what if they
00:04:06.240
happen to most of the time pick a few more men than women or even 10 more men than women just let the
00:04:12.000
kids pick whoever they thought of stop trying to control what they think it's kind of gross
00:04:16.480
going back to the lesson plan package it says ask the students if they notice what the underlying
00:04:22.960
people have in common discuss why they name so many men explain male privilege then underline in
00:04:28.560
another color all the people who are white ask what they have in common if the list has a gender and
00:04:34.320
race balance discuss why their list differs so greatly from another classroom where this lesson has been
00:04:40.160
used in most cases the majority of the names generated are white males ask students what the term white
00:04:46.160
privilege means to them this is a laughable question to ask students because of course the etfo doesn't
00:04:52.080
care what they think about white privilege and they're really just posing the question to make
00:04:56.080
it seem like the kids aren't being indoctrinated when in reality white privilege has one definition
00:05:01.360
because it's a cultural marxist creation and that's what the teacher is going to end up teaching the
00:05:06.160
class by the end i think any parent who reads this specific lesson plan example would find it quite
00:05:12.400
disgusting on two different fronts one they're trying to teach children to constantly see race
00:05:18.000
to enter a room note people's races and act accordingly based on that and not based on who
00:05:23.120
people are as individuals whether you share things in common with them whether they're nice to you or
00:05:28.080
not uh and other sorts of things like that no no you're supposed to treat them differently because of
00:05:33.600
what they look like and uh what sex they are it it's quite disgusting and i don't think any parent would
00:05:40.320
would disagree with that but on top of that what they're doing with teachers is that they're
00:05:45.040
encouraging teachers to be manipulative to start off with a seemingly normal sounding lesson plan
00:05:50.800
we're going to talk about the best people in the world what kind of traits that they have and how we
00:05:55.840
can emulate them and flipping the script halfway through and saying okay yeah we're talking about
00:06:00.400
the best people in the world but did you know that you're a terrible person oh you were born white
00:06:04.400
well then that means you're somehow imbued with a certain sense of race is more you're indigenous well
00:06:08.240
that means you can't achieve as much and you need more assistance it's it's essentially not only
00:06:13.920
manipulative but it's manipulative on behalf of something that's not even academic it's it's it's
00:06:19.760
quite gross uh radical left-wing politics that they're teaching at the same time that this is
00:06:26.000
not training kids for the future at all it's probably hurting their abilities to succeed at the
00:06:30.480
same time they're just not you know learning how to read write and do math this is something that's a
00:06:35.680
complete waste of time as well as it's probably damaging kids socially i i wouldn't doubt that a
00:06:41.120
lot of kids who went through this lesson plan would be quite stressed out afterwards and feel kind of
00:06:46.160
ashamed of themselves because kids don't realize that this teacher believes in a strange form of
00:06:51.520
social politics where they think for some reason everyone's race determines where they are in life
00:06:56.640
and nothing has to do with uh with who what you do as an individual or your own merit or the multiple
00:07:02.960
factors that go into your own personal background it's all because of race the kids don't understand
00:07:08.000
that that's a very fringe and weird thing to believe so they're not going to be able to tune
00:07:11.760
this out it's the adult in the room they're teaching them i'm going to believe them because
00:07:15.520
of course our kids are going to believe whoever their teacher is because what like how how miserable
00:07:20.240
would that be you enter a room and you just think that your teacher is a nutcase well every every
00:07:24.560
kid's just going to inherently trust the teacher because it's the adult in the room and with their own
00:07:28.720
parents they're sort of uh trained to trust the adult because you should be able to trust adults
00:07:33.760
but it seems like we can't anymore because the etfo wants every single teacher to be a secret cultural
00:07:39.520
marxist agent it's it's ridiculous and when you look at the etfo's website uh it's very clear that
00:07:46.000
they're really into this stuff that they will not that they absolutely love all these kind of weird
00:07:52.320
identity-based issues and all sort of even to show you the front page of that website now because it's
00:07:57.440
ridiculous how much content related to these issues there is
00:08:03.920
so here's the front page of the etfo's website and when you highlight social justice you get this
00:08:09.200
big drop down menu with stuff like disability programs anti-black racism anti-asian racism
00:08:14.640
islamophobia anti-semitism all that kinds of stuff indigenous stuff and i don't think anyone would
00:08:19.760
disagree that while both disability programs are great it's actually kind of admirable if ecfo promotes
00:08:25.840
specific programs or goes the extra mile to help kids with disabilities or that it's it's like no
00:08:32.160
one would disagree that's wrong to teach it that intolerance and racism are are bad but the problem
00:08:37.680
is we've just gone over a lesson plan example that showed that they actually don't care about racism in
00:08:43.600
any substantial way because they teach kids to view race they teach kids to be racist but just be racist
00:08:50.720
in the way that the etfo likes you have to just basically follow the etso's oppression hierarchy
00:08:56.960
certain kids are better than others certain kids are privileged and benefit from our racist system
00:09:02.160
more than others so that's how their version of of like uh racism works that they think that someone
00:09:09.360
might be racist because they occupy this innocuous position in society that is apparently racist because
00:09:17.600
of the person's skin color or whatever that's what they're looking at i don't doubt that they would
00:09:22.880
go through something like anti-black racism and it would start just being a bunch of equity nonsense
00:09:27.680
again where they're just talking about how if certain people don't occupy enough positions in
00:09:32.560
in society that somehow there is racism in society they wouldn't be talking about real racism or
00:09:37.760
intolerance one because those are quite easy to solve stop talking about race stop seeing race and stop
00:09:42.880
judging people based on their faith or ethnicity it's incredibly straightforward but the fact that
00:09:48.560
they have so many categories on this website probably proves that they have this really convoluted
00:09:53.840
marxist way of looking at uh like oppression of rich issues around oppression uh racism and stuff like
00:10:01.600
that i i don't think any parent would trust these people based on the content that they've released to
00:10:07.280
try and teach their kids why racism is bad because they probably only make kids more racist in the process
00:10:12.320
because the vast vast vast majority of kids in this world are not racist especially in north america
00:10:18.160
yeah the for some reason the like etfo members think that if we don't absolutely shove this stuff
00:10:26.240
down kids throats they're going to come out racist which is really funny because all they want to do is
00:10:31.440
talk about race and get kids to obsess about it but whatever i guess i'm not a i'm not a curriculum
00:10:37.040
expert like they probably employ at the etfo thanks for watching the first breakdown video
00:10:42.960
i've ever made for the national telegraph i'm going to be trying to do more of these in the
00:10:46.320
future covering either undercover topics or going deeper on ones where they've only been skimmed on
00:10:51.520
the surface uh hopefully you guys like this make suggestions in the comments of what i can do
00:10:56.160
next time and i guess just like subscribe and share uh this video and follow the national telegraph
00:11:01.920
where even wherever you can find us on twitter facebook telegram i'll link that in description
