00:22:55.280I mean, the climate is always changing.
00:22:56.640I don't want to get into the specifics of that. But, you know, all of the big issues that we've been facing for the past six years that, you know, the other side, when they argue their point, they never, ever have any facts behind them whatsoever.
00:23:09.260And yet they insist that we believe and echo their rhetoric. And case in point, if we go to the story about the Grand Prairie teacher, I'm going to throw this up on the screen.
00:23:20.140You know, all she said or she didn't even say anything except for here, here.
00:23:25.880What what she did was shared a post by Maxime Bernier.
00:23:28.860This is a story from left wing corporate taxpayer funded CBC.
00:23:33.740Northern Alberta students walk out to protest teachers post about residential schools.
00:23:38.720So here's the protest. What's that like 15, maybe 20 kids.
00:23:42.480So I will correct something because I did hear. OK, so the the the news story that I cited in my post about it said that there was 12 students there.
00:23:49.360And to be fair, the person who did that story was at this protest and they said 12.
00:23:54.140Now, I had other people since then in my comment section send me pictures of much more, much, many more students.
00:24:00.760And so they said it was upwards of somewhere between 70 and 100.
00:24:04.080I don't know which one is true. The news article said 12.
00:24:06.800And people sent me pictures that looked like a lot more students.
00:24:09.560And I don't know what the actual truth is. It's probably somewhere in there.
00:24:13.040but in any case this this many students are sort of deciding the fate then or wanting to decide
00:24:18.760the fate of this teacher it says here dozens of grand prairie high school students walked out of
00:24:24.460class to protest a teacher who shared a controversial statement and again you know like
00:24:29.100this is the language they use right when you say uh you want to declare that canada you know
00:24:35.060committed a genocide on people 150 years ago you would better damn well bring some proof with you
00:28:22.820That's all right. No problems, because it seems to me that they're trying to sweep this under the rug just by moving her to some other school and trying to forget about it.
00:28:30.740That tends to be the solution for teachers that even teachers who do things that I would disagree with when when they should.
00:28:38.680Otherwise, that's one of my problems with with unions is that it protects bad teachers, too.
00:28:42.940So sometimes they've done something that's really that would normally get someone fired right in the in the private sector.
00:28:48.120um they just get moved and stuff so i guess they're going to implement that same strategy
00:28:52.060with amy um she didn't do it she didn't do anything wrong she didn't do anything wrong but
00:28:57.920i think they've decided and i hate this word but they've decided that it's a toxic environment
00:29:01.920probably and um and that she would be she would have a difficult time so so they might spend it
00:29:07.280to be like in her best interest i don't know how they're going to spend it but do you do you think
00:29:10.920that amy would given the choice would she rather stay where she is and put up with the toxic
00:29:15.960atmosphere or would she said that she loved this school and i know that she's had supportive
00:29:20.620students from this school who have spoken out in her defense and so i don't i don't know that
00:29:27.660relocation would be her her first choice i think she'd probably rather stay i don't want to speak
00:29:31.840for her but my sense is that she would probably rather stay yeah i mean if she loves her place
00:29:37.340of work just because she said something that is like a question right i mean that's what it is
00:29:43.000It's a question. Yeah. And I think like I completely agree with you. I'm somebody who
00:29:49.060believes in absolute free speech. Obviously, there's laws that that prevent us from from
00:29:54.420directly threatening people or saying that we're going to do harm to others and stuff. And that's
00:29:58.140that's fair. But I had this conversation when I was in university and I was speaking to some
00:30:03.180younger students who were in their early 20s. And somebody had said something like, you know,
00:30:07.920I had said something and they're like, but what if somebody was offended? Like they kind of
00:30:11.260clutched their pearls and said, but what if somebody was offended? And I said, you know,
00:30:14.320you don't have the right to not be offended. I can say something that offends you. And we can
00:30:20.160discuss it if you want to. But I can say something that offends you. You can also say something that
00:30:24.640offends me. And we can have a discussion. This is how people converse. You know, it's discourse. But
00:30:29.740it seems to, I guess I'm kind of confused about people who believe that saying something is hard
00:30:38.560is a stopping point saying something is offensive is a stopping point like we didn't used to stop
00:30:43.660at hard and offensive we used to push through and say well why is it hard do it anyway we used to
00:30:49.040say okay it offends me why let's discuss it but now it seems to be a stopping point for everybody
00:30:53.920i can answer that for you i can i can answer that for you and it's pretty simple it's in
00:31:00.700critical race theory right and those words if anybody offends anybody else those words are
00:31:10.020technically defined in critical race theory as violence right oh i know violence or words
00:31:15.500so it's no no longer sticks your stones may break my bones and so they will actually consider
00:31:22.040something you have said to be violence just the same as a attacking somebody with a blade
00:31:29.320yeah or shooting my truth right it doesn't have to be the truth it just has to be my truth it's
00:31:34.080what i feel it's how i perceived yeah yeah exactly so in in this situation you this is where we can't
00:31:41.680have the conversation because the definitions have changed of words over the last few years
00:31:48.340as well right like for example here we're discussing the word violence it's not violence
00:31:53.000it's conversation that's all it is um you were also covering this story in quebec which i found
00:31:58.640rather interesting i didn't even know about this to be honest do you think this is spillover from
00:32:02.320europe it seems to have been inspired by europe so it's been inspired by what's going on in france
00:32:07.800and obviously i said it in my post this morning i don't believe what's happening in france has
00:32:10.740anything to do with the schools i know that they originated there and they're saying that that's
00:32:14.900how what's going on but i don't believe that that's true um but apparently the the students
00:32:19.240were inspired by that now there was a poster circulating on social media who made the poster
00:32:23.940I don't know. But what I found interesting about the entire thing was that the students, if you
00:32:30.060were to ask them why they were rioting and they were not protesting, they were rioting. It was
00:32:34.780because they were upset about uniform policies and the cell phone policies. And I believe that
00:32:39.160Quebec has pretty strict cell phone policies. However, these were not new policies. This was
00:32:44.240not a new change that they were fighting against. These were already standing policies. And they're
00:32:49.180trying to they're trying to say that that some poster was going through and they all of a sudden
00:32:54.520got so worked up about these policies that already existed that they decided to riot and
00:33:00.7402 000 students came together and rioted over these policies and i just don't buy it
00:33:04.740well i mean in france obviously those riots are riots that have been started by hard left
00:33:13.820marxist militants who have seen an opportunity and they've taken it it may have started out
00:33:19.220as student protests you know three or four weeks ago when all of this first started but now i mean
00:33:25.460it got taken over very quickly by antifa i would say macron came out today by the way in france
00:33:31.520and he said by the way this is not real a lot of it is just ai and he said there were there were
00:33:40.420government forces outside of france working for france's destruction i assume he's uh referencing
00:33:45.900donald trump there i have some video of the quebec students there's no sound on this but
00:33:52.280it looks like they're trying to form a blockade of some kind here it's messy video it's it's all
00:33:59.200over the place but it looks like these kids are more interested in having fun than anything else
00:34:03.160and that was my concern is that is that i don't know who who is circulating this poster who
00:34:08.140created this poster who wanted to get these kids riled up but the problem with the way that the
00:34:11.700education system networks now is we have created a lot of students who are extremely easy to
00:34:16.880manipulate and because they're like I if there's one gift that I was given by my parents is this
00:34:23.000very strong foundation of values and I'm like an oak tree that's 300 years old I am dug in on my
00:34:27.800values and they are rooted and there's no one moving me from it kids like the kids are easily
00:34:32.600manipulated now and they are not rooted in any solid values because they haven't had time to
00:34:36.960develop them in order to have your values you need to have time to question them to challenge
00:34:42.100them and to solidify them and they haven't done this and so they're easily manipulated
00:34:46.620and they obviously got manipulated i don't know if half of them knew what they were doing
00:34:50.300like i don't know if half of them knew why they were there are you talking about the protesters
00:34:54.920in france now are these students i mean it could be both but definitely the kids in quebec i can
00:34:59.240i can say that because those ones actually were teenagers who it was in france at the end of the
00:35:03.480day i don't know well i'll tell you what you know anytime you go to one of these ridiculous protests
00:35:08.020and you ask a question of that or that kind of a question to one of the people there they can't
00:35:14.100really tell you why they're there because a lot of them are paid protesters right so they just go
00:35:19.680they get an email like you pointed out and i want to get back to the unions um in just a second but
00:35:25.040they'll get an email from whoever their protester boss is that says be here wear this at 8 15 wear
00:35:32.380the black hat with the mask and whatever and so they show up they you know it's it's protest
00:35:38.860mania basically it's protest incorporated right so whatever it is they show up at they have no
00:35:46.240idea they just follow the instructions they're given like throw these frozen water bottles
00:35:50.380stand in this person's way throw the umbrella in this reporter's face all of that stuff and
00:35:55.840they have no idea why they're there well if you saw i saw on the news they were like literally
00:36:00.620having trucks deliver flats or what do you call them, pallets of empty glass bottles for the
00:36:08.220protesters to throw. Like somebody was delivering these. Who was paying for that? Well, I mean,
00:36:13.180there are a few of the usual suspects who are out there, you know, the Soros crowd and
00:36:18.120Neville Roy Singham out of China. But getting back to the unions, I mean, these are powerful,
00:36:23.540powerful, powerful constructs. And they're able to mobilize a lot of people very quickly.
00:36:29.840i think what's happened with the ata and probably in british columbia and saskatchewan ontario
00:36:35.360manitoba all of these provinces is is the unions have been taking who's the guy in ontario he's the
00:36:41.840i think he was the uh the vice president of cupy for the entire province fred something
00:36:48.200fred hahn and this guy was like mr free palestine you know how does that have anything to do with
00:36:55.740protecting workers it doesn't right have you seen any of that stuff oh i report on it all the time
00:37:03.140i i have dug deep into the ata and some of the other um afl and all of them and uh and yeah
00:37:09.100they're deep into it like i know qp just put out a thing we were having a uh a by-election over in
00:37:14.100calgary shaw and qp sent people out with their uh and uniform with their um their t-shirts that
00:37:21.720said QB on them, and they were going door to door, telling people to vote NDP. Like they weren't,
00:37:27.040they weren't trying to be nonpartisan, and they're not obligated to be nonpartisan.
00:37:30.820And what's funny is I've done a whole series of posts, because so the conservative government in
00:37:36.700Alberta put out a bill called Bill 32. And this was, I believe, in 2023. And the purpose of Bill
00:37:42.86032 was to allow union members to opt out of non-core activities. So what they compelled
00:37:51.260the unions to do is they had to sort of section all of their activities into three sections. So
00:37:56.220there was core, there was two core ones, and then there was the non-core. And anything that was in
00:38:01.700the non-core category, that would have included political activities, charity events, anything
00:38:06.100that wasn't directly related to representing members. They wanted members to be able to opt
00:38:11.540out of those things. And that's a fair thing to do. So I contacted my union after reading that
00:38:17.960and said, hey, I want to opt out of these. And they came back to me and they said, no, you can't.
00:38:22.760And of course, go back and forth, go back and forth. And it had come to find out that the
00:38:26.680reason that I can't is because they found a workaround. So what they did is when Bill 32
00:38:31.620was announced, the ATA took money out of our special emergency fund, transferred it into a
00:38:37.960new fund that's called the defense and advocacy fund. So they took 16 million, put it in the
00:38:42.800defense and advocacy fund. And then they invested the 16 million and they use the revenues from the
00:38:49.020investment to pay for non-core activities. So because it's not technically dues, it's revenue
00:38:53.940from dues. I can't opt out of it. Wow. And so and if you look into the other ones, so QP has done
00:39:00.960something, Unifor has done something, AFL has all done something. Every single one of the unions in
00:39:06.080Alberta found a way around Bill 32. And Quebec right now is in the process of doing the same
00:39:10.760type of legislation so that their union members can opt out. And all of those unions are looking
00:39:15.720at workarounds as well. So they have a stuck is basically what I'm saying. You know, it's
00:39:20.900interesting that most people, I think, you know, I can't even believe that some people still vote
00:39:26.840NDP in this country, whether it's provincial or federal, they're still like, and they're perceived
00:39:31.220these people as the working man's party, right? We're going to take care of you. It's absolutely
00:39:36.260ridiculous because they've the ndp in all its incarnations has gone completely off the deep end
00:39:42.980i mean so it amazes me that there's still guys out there i mean when we think about a union leader0.89
00:39:48.260we think about you know a shop steward or whoever is going to come and address the we think about
00:39:53.540some guy in a suit right we're thinking about just some random dude in a suit who's worked as whatever
00:40:00.580you know his union represents for the last 25 years and now he's made it into the union and
00:40:05.540And he's going to take care of his boys. Right. But that's not what what unions are these days.
00:40:11.280It's it seems to have been taken over again by these left wing zealots.
00:40:16.740So have you come up with a theory? I think I've probably come up with one.
00:40:20.840But have you come up with a theory as to how all of this is has permeated society?
00:40:25.780Does it happen through universities? Does it start in public schools and then gets to universities and then into corporate Canada and the unions and everywhere?
00:40:34.660I was shocked when I first started making content, especially about the unions. And I still to this day, I have several people who just troll my accounts and they constantly come at me and they say, if you didn't have the union, you would not have any protections and you would get paid minimum wage and you wouldn't have, you wouldn't have, somebody told me I wouldn't have any benefits and I wouldn't have any personal days.
00:40:54.920and I'm like what are you talking about like you know that people who work in the private sector
00:40:59.840have have those things right like you're aware that there are laws that pretend like labor laws
00:41:04.800and it's almost like they've lived in a bubble this whole time that they legitimately think and
00:41:09.200I mean I can tell you right now the messaging coming from the unions from my union anyway
00:41:13.760it's three or four or five times per week that we get emails that just reinforce reinforce reinforce
00:41:19.980it's like you've seen those torture videos where somebody's sitting in a chair and they're strapped
00:41:23.840in and they see the screen and they're just getting this constant it's like that that's what
00:41:27.700it is and you can't get away from it it's just this headphone noise and the visual and you're
00:41:32.520just constantly getting that reinforcement of the messaging there's no getting away from it
00:41:35.980and i think that they legitimately believe that the unions are protecting them and if we didn't
00:41:41.100have the union we legitimately would have no other protections whatsoever well maybe many teachers
00:41:46.080sorry go ahead many teachers have never worked any other career like they may have had part-time
00:41:51.500jobs when they're going to university or before that, but they've never had another career. And
00:41:54.940so they don't have an understanding of what is available in the private sector.
00:41:59.940I have no issue with unions when it comes to protecting workers, right? I mean, because we
00:42:05.800know, you know, like I said, I worked in radio for years and so many people got screwed over so
00:42:11.560badly because there weren't any unions in it. It was just, you know, you fired one day suddenly,
00:42:15.840maybe the boss didn't like the look of you or thought you sounded too nasal on the air,
00:42:19.940whatever it was didn't matter right so if there was a union in a situation like that they might
00:42:25.880be able to say wait a minute that's not enough of a reason let's let's be reasonable here so i have
00:42:30.740no problem when it comes to unions representing and taking care of uh people who have been harassed
00:42:38.460by management or fired for no good reason that's fine but why on earth do they have to constantly0.94
00:42:46.800troll out this this poisonous venom you know the palestine movement and everything that goes along
00:42:55.760with it right the lgbtq i i drive by in winnipeg here i drive by the manitoba teachers society0.83
00:43:01.640building which is not far from where i live and every june july and august the pride flag is
00:43:09.240flying above the canadian flag above it yeah right and and i think to myself why doesn't somebody
00:43:17.020just go and take that thing down i mean is nobody offended by this have our sensibilities been
00:43:23.400affected like just the average person have our sensibilities been affected to the point where
00:43:28.180we don't see it or we're just willing to put up with it i mean we've all seen those videos where
00:43:35.020you see something people will stage a heinous event somebody a woman getting beaten and people
00:43:39.400just walk on by I think we've become so desensitized in society now like with everything
00:43:44.140that we see that people just refuse to have any moral backbone and I just I don't understand it
00:43:48.620the reason I speak out I've always spoken out is because I can't live with myself if I don't
00:43:52.260and so I really really don't understand somebody who would live a life where they have to be a fake
00:43:57.340person where they have to stay silent when they otherwise when they think otherwise I don't
00:44:01.680understand it. I can't relate. And I do judge the people who don't stand up because especially
00:44:07.520teachers, and I will say this unequivocally, we're teachers. We are influencing children. And in my
00:44:14.580opinion, the education system throughout North America is hurting children badly. We are damaging
00:44:20.260these kids badly and irreversibly. And if we are committed to taking care of these kids,
00:44:28.080to protecting them as we should in every way then we are the first and only people who should be
00:44:34.980we are the first people who should be standing up and making sure that any policies that are
00:44:39.300going to hurt kids that we disagree with we need to stand up and say so now if you like this is
00:44:44.040where I almost respect the far leftists more than the centrists the far leftists believe what
00:44:49.200they're saying they believe that what they're saying is right the centrists are just keeping
00:44:53.080quiet. And so they're damaging things more because they believe otherwise and they're
00:44:57.800keeping quiet. You know, and we all know that famous quote about all it takes for evil to
00:45:02.400succeed is for good men to stand silent. And that's what's happening. We're hurting kids.
00:45:09.040So teachers need to stand up. We're supposed to be leaders. We're supposed to be role models and
00:45:12.940no one is standing up. So yes, when you see something you disagree with, stand up and say
00:45:16.440something if you don't people like myself will absolutely 100 judge you so you say that some
00:45:24.400teachers have reached out to you privately yeah and they've asked oh don't name me don't name me
00:45:29.400but i agree with you you know i've had that happen i don't know thousands of times in the past six
00:45:34.780years you know i really love what you're doing man but uh i can't so why not well it's my life
00:45:40.520it's my livelihood they're going to take it away i say you know sooner or later it's gone anyway
00:45:44.000If we allow society to keep going the way it's going, then eventually they're just going to come and take it from you.
00:45:51.120So maybe if you stand up now, we have a chance of fighting back.
00:45:55.900Have you ever spoken to any of these other teachers about publicly coming out and saying something or maybe standing their ground in one of those meetings we talked about earlier?
00:46:11.500They want me to say something empathetic.
00:46:14.000um the tone of the conversation tends to change they they want me to say no no you're right they
00:46:18.760want me to pat them on the head you can ask any of my students i don't pat anybody on the head
00:46:22.600so they're just looking for forgiveness from you they're looking for forgiveness which is not mine
00:46:26.540to give um and and and i won't give it anyway like we're like i said we're in charge of kids i take
00:46:32.260that really really seriously the way the way i see it and i've said this many times is you know
00:46:37.700do you have kids i don't know if you have kids i've got a kid and a grandkid so yeah so okay
00:46:42.540So on that day, when you have that baby in that hospital and that little precious thing is handed to you and you have that feeling that you get when you first meet your baby, well, those people are giving me their babies.
00:46:59.440That baby, that kid that they got handed in the hospital, they're handing me that kid and they're saying, please protect him or her.
00:47:06.320Please just foster their learning and help them along and help them to get where they need to go under your care.
00:47:12.540I take that incredibly seriously, incredibly seriously,
00:47:16.300because that's somebody's moon and stars right there that I have.
00:47:18.940And if you are willing to stay silent when you think those kids are getting
00:47:23.860hurt, I have no respect. There's no respect for that.
00:47:27.720I won't respect that. I'm not going to pat you on the head and say,
00:47:30.820I forgive you. You don't have to do anything.
00:47:32.160You do have to do something. You're an adult and you should be protecting them.
00:47:34.920You're a high school teacher, right? I am. Yeah.
00:47:37.120So are there still parent teacher things in high school or?
00:47:40.440Yeah, we had them yesterday, actually. Okay.
00:47:42.260so you've got oh that's right you said so if you've got a parent teacher uh interview what
00:47:47.980are these like 15 minutes long each yeah okay so you sit down with the parents of these kids and
00:47:53.260you talk about how they're performing in school and whatnot have any of these parents ever said
00:47:56.980to you oh and by the way what is all this bullshit i've had parents um ask their kids to step outside0.85
00:48:03.860and and come up to me and give me nothing but love and support um privately because i don't0.95
00:48:09.920talk about this with my students. Um, it's, it's not something I bring up at all at work
00:48:14.340and it's just not the time or place or it's not my inclination to do so. So, um, and I don't talk
00:48:20.460about it with my students, but privately they will tell their student to go outside or tell
00:48:24.640their kid to go outside in the hallway. And then they come up and they're like, I just love what
00:48:27.120you're doing. I fully support you. Um, um, I've had people warn me about other people who are
00:48:32.360coming after me. I've had, I've had all kinds of stuff, but, um, but nothing but love and support
00:48:36.900from the people who's who mentioned it what do you mean people who were people who were coming
00:48:40.840after you what like an attack of some kind or some just just that they're they're really harshly
00:48:46.860badmouthing me and trying to step on my reputation in the community and that sort of thing like
00:48:51.660through through social media well you do have this channel like i'm going to throw it up on
00:48:59.320the screen again for those who have just joined or didn't get it the first time here it is on
00:49:02.960instagram you guys are you on other social media as well i'm on facebook as well yeah same name
00:49:07.400same name okay so this is act underscore alberta teachers you guys go find this and follow it
00:49:13.320please and while you're there follow me uh too if you haven't but act underscore alberta teachers
00:49:20.240that's where you go and here's look at all the videos that carrie has managed to put together
00:49:24.100in the last in the last year here this palestine one i haven't watched that one i couldn't bring
00:49:30.420myself to watch that one believe it or not but and what about this one here this this rainbow
00:49:34.900head what's that all about so that was we had a referendum here um on monday and this is a teacher
00:49:40.420who um runs a something library i can't remember the name of her page but anyways she runs some
00:49:46.560sort of book library and it's specifically for kids who are like in the the lgbt community and
00:49:52.240then um and then she was apparently trying to get onto uh work as an elections worker she was with
00:50:00.020elections, Alberta, she was going to work the referendum, the ballot boxes. And so she did a
00:50:05.820video I did. So I did sort of a series of videos showing her sequentially. So she posted a video
00:50:11.860saying, hey, I'm going to be working in elections, Alberta. And she's extremely left leaning. And she
00:50:17.700really wanted the NDP to win. Or no, sorry, not the NDP, but she wanted the referendum to
00:50:21.940remain in Canada. Yeah, remain in Canada and all of the other nine to be no's. And anyway, so then0.54
00:50:28.320she made another post saying oops didn't know that i had to be non-partisan to work for elections
00:50:33.400alberta he he he i'm not non-partisan kind of thing and then she did another post saying that
00:50:39.580she got rejected by elections canada that she was breaking the rules and that they wouldn't allow
00:50:43.900her to work for elections canada and that she doesn't she swore a whole bunch and she's just
00:50:49.000like i don't give a heck because um i'd rather be partisan all day long and i drew some parallels
00:50:55.360about how she was saying she would like to be partisan all day long as a teacher that's a
00:50:59.760teacher that's a teacher and she wants to be partisan all day long and not have her employer
00:51:03.780tell her what she can and can't say meanwhile we have amy davidson who isn't being partisan at work
00:51:10.900and she's getting suspended or put on unassigned duties um for saying something in her own personal
00:51:16.300life so i was just sort of trying to draw parallels about what the the limits are with
00:51:20.180the left and the limits are with the right the referendum i i know what they're everybody knows
00:51:26.920what the results are by now but that must have been fun for the last year going through that as
00:51:30.640a teacher i'm sure it came up from time to time it doesn't come up in my class at all i teach
00:51:36.660culinary arts so i teach kids how to cook um and it's not something i talk about with my kids they
00:51:41.180were probably talking about it in their social studies classes and throughout uh uh everywhere
00:51:44.780else but i i do stay away from you know what they called that class i'm sorry to interrupt
00:51:48.200what they called that class when i was going to school they called it they called it bachelor
00:51:52.200living oh really we learned how to make eggs and grilled cheese oh this is different so okay so
00:52:00.040this is not a food class i i get offended by that because this is i'm sorry i didn't know that's
00:52:05.260okay i'm kidding this is a very large commercial kitchen and it's actually a registered uh licensed
00:52:10.260restaurant so we teach kids how to work in the actual industry so this is a full-on trade
00:52:13.680um thing and i'm i'm my my own gordon ramsey right in there the kids will tell you i am and uh
00:52:19.460although i don't swear but um no i teach kids how to how to work in the industry they get a lot of
00:52:24.720good cooking skills but i'm with you when i was in high school we had home ec and it was also
00:52:28.840sewing and we had to do home budgeting and uh we had to learn how to sew we had to learn home
00:52:34.500budgeting and i think i remember just this quick pigs in a blanket was a big one that we had to
00:52:39.320right so yeah we go beyond that so getting back to the the conversation about the referendum that
00:52:46.680that must have been interesting amongst all of the teachers i'm sure it came up maybe not with
00:52:50.820the students so much and maybe it did but you didn't talk about it the teachers don't talk to
00:52:55.420me about it i so no one kind of you weren't you weren't privy to any of the conversations they
00:53:00.920were having just by overhearing them making coffee in the corner no well see and i we're in the
00:53:05.840kitchen so i do make coffee for the entire school uh and and they're welcome to come and have coffee
00:53:10.440most teachers no longer come and get coffee there are a few uh who still come and get coffee at the
00:53:14.620kitchen um and we say good morning everything's very pleasant and they're lovely um but no we
00:53:19.480don't talk politics are there enough students and enough teachers and i'm not even talking about
00:53:28.100just alberta but maybe across the country to stand up and get rid of this woke nonsense
00:53:33.720so that's my concern so because if you look at how dug in most of these teachers are
00:53:39.660or a lot of these teachers are if we were to overhaul the the education system in a way that
00:53:45.380i really think needs to happen in order to fix it i don't know how many would stay
00:53:50.000i i don't care if they stay that that's the thing right like if these woke
00:53:55.840left-wing hardcore rainbow-haired teachers left i think everybody would be the better for it
00:54:02.200agree that we still have they're putting us in a situation where we're the ones who have to take
00:54:06.840our kids and go you know what i can't put my kid in the school anymore i mean this is what they're
00:54:10.460going to learn so i'm going to do the homeschooling the the logical common sense people
00:54:15.840who are now branded as right-wing extremists are the ones who are being forced into these
00:54:21.800positions or maybe having to go to private school where things are still relatively normal as
00:54:26.820opposed to the public school system right but like what what i'm asking i suppose is is there
00:54:31.700enough of us to stand up force these people out so they're the ones who have to go and i don't
00:54:37.260think it's going to take that much to be honest with you like i like i said i don't think it's
00:54:41.140that many that are that are really far far far extremist to the left i think it's just that
00:54:45.340they're very loud and abrasive and and and there's big consequences for not towing the line i do think
00:54:51.240most teachers just want to teach their classes and they just want to they they have the best
00:54:56.120interest of the student in mind and if they could get it i think it's almost like a weight on their0.98
00:54:59.460shoulders all of this stuff you know like the the lgbt stuff all of like everything all of these1.00
00:55:04.580really heavy issues are like weights on their shoulders and i think they'd like to get rid of1.00
00:55:07.880them more than anybody else um so i don't think it would take much to overhaul that entire ideology
00:55:13.400i really don't think it would take much but um what would it take i mean if it's not much then
00:55:17.900what what would it have to get rid of the constant messaging we have to give permission i think they
00:55:21.940need permission just like people ask me for forgiveness and they don't and they want
00:55:25.540permission to not have to do anything i think we need to give them permission to speak up
00:55:29.380and and security to do so like you're not going to lose your job you're not going to lose your
00:55:33.940livelihood you're allowed to speak up you don't have to listen to the bullies i i think they don't
00:55:39.060want to be i'm sorry i've forgotten the teacher's name from last week in grand prairie amy davidson
00:55:44.540amy davidson they don't want to be the next amy davidson they don't want to be her yeah so they
00:55:48.880need permission to do it while staying comfortable i certainly hope that amy she said she's
00:55:55.120misunderstood or she not her as a person but what she said was being misunderstood and and
00:56:00.660to me it sounded almost like she was backpedaling a bit on her position and i certainly hope she
00:56:06.120doesn't just to capitulate to have her job back because i don't think she would no oh sorry to
00:56:11.940interrupt you no no go ahead go ahead the i've spoken to her um now i've only spoken to her0.96
00:56:16.580over text i haven't spoken to her by phone um but she's dug in on her position she's angry as hell0.98
00:56:21.820that that people are attacking her because she knows what she said she knows what she meant she
00:56:28.420knows her heart and she knows exactly what she's like as a teacher and as a person and I I have
00:56:33.040personally been sent emails from her co-workers from other teachers who say she's just the number
00:56:38.640one person in the school I she I had one person say she's the reason I come to school she's so
00:56:43.900fantastic um her character like people have have just given her the best character reviews I guess
00:56:50.040if you want to call it that. But, um, but when I've spoken to her, she's like, she's angry as
00:56:53.740hell that people are coming at her about this because she knows exactly what she said and
00:56:56.660she didn't say anything wrong. So I don't think she's backpedaling. I I'm happy to hear that.
00:57:00.780And I hope Amy, if you're watching this, I hope you stick to your guns because you know what you
00:57:04.700do have, even if you, you don't feel it, but you do have an incredible amount of support from
00:57:11.260people out there. And you can tell that instantly just from shows like this one and teachers who
00:57:17.260have been in the same kind of position before that you're in now you don't worry about that
00:57:23.060stuff you go on you stick to your guns you hold your position because if you don't you're going
00:57:27.360to regret it for the rest of your life i'm not kidding like when we have to you know
00:57:32.660pull back on our own personal belief standards just to fit into a bad situation
00:57:41.620it's never going to work well you'll never respect yourself you won't be a little bit of yourself and
00:57:46.840and frankly like it's not worth it like i i'm i i've said this many times because of course when
00:57:52.620when the realization was was obvious to me that you know saying things on on social media could
00:57:58.400get me in some trouble or whatever um you know i can't live with myself not saying something
00:58:03.740and i think i'm a smart and capable person i have other skills i'll find something to do
00:58:07.360if it's not teaching i'll find something to do but i need to live with myself and what i say
00:58:12.100and and and i'm not gonna lie i'm gonna say what i observe but um yeah i have to say what's true
00:58:18.780do you mind if i uh run something past you i want to get your opinion on sure um there's this kid
00:58:25.340isaac simpson and a lot of you guys watching this right now you know who he is that's anita
00:58:29.580krishna our friend anita's son uh who has been suspended from his school for a youtube video he
00:58:36.560made and i'm going to play you an excerpt of his youtube video you guys watch this i'll come back
00:58:42.000and tell you what's happened to him in the last day have a look here we like many others have to
00:58:47.120take a course on bc first peoples in order to graduate we also had an assembly today discussing
00:58:54.160truth and reconciliation today i'm exposing what is being taught in schools
