I feel like Ireland has been the only predominantly White western nation who’ve been consistent in calling out human rights violations. From Apartheid South Africa, to The US during the Civil Rights Era, Yemen, Libya, etc. I feel like I need to learn more on this.
🇮🇪 Ireland's message to Palestine 🇵🇸 is crystal clear!

Our message in advance of the hateful protests planned for tomorrow: Speak out. Stand up. Spread love. We can’t ever stop fighting for queer and trans kids—and all kids—to feel safe and loved. We won’t. Be safe, friends. #NoSpaceForHate 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

It’s called a “public school” not a home school. You teach your values at home and public schools teach the values of what it means to be a respectful and responsible citizen & this includes learning about 2SLGBTQ+ communities, just like all other communities in Canada. #cdnpoli
The residential school system was intended to remove children from the influence of their homes, families, traditions and cultures. The ideology of gender identity and sex education that is rooted from LGBTQ ideology in Ontario should be a choice. This should not be an obligation on all children with NO opt out option. Many Families are extremely worried they see it as danger on their children. They find it as pushing many children away from their own identity traditions, culture, and consequently removing them away from their families. Which is not acceptable and will result in a huge psychological damage and mental health problems on children and their families. Let’s learn the lesson and insure that Canada will NO longer remove any child from their roots Stop 🛑 messing up with our children..

I’m an adult. I’m comfortable with my identity. But when I see the hate, it still hits hard. So I can’t even imagine what it’s like for a young person struggling. Or for someone not out. People feel emboldened. The hate is palpable and it’s growing rapidly. It can’t continue.

Everything has an ideological spin. Everything. Vaccines, masks, 15 min cities, yoga, supplements, unproven therapies, homeopathy, longevity, wildfires, GMOs, the weather, etc, etc. I've been studying twisted science for almost 30 yrs. This level of partisanship is new.

Wouldn’t it be great if this was actually the case? But the tragic reality is that up to 40% of all homeless youth identify as LGBTQ. PLEASE show me ONE case where a parent has been charged with child abandonment for kicking out their LGBTQ child.
Any parent, foster parent, guardian, or head of a family owes the duty to provide the necessaries of life to a child under the age of 16 years. Kicking a minor out is considered child abandonment, which is a crime. If it happened, these parents would be in jail. So yeah... it doesn't happen because a minor wants to use the opposite pronouns. Fake argument for a serious problem where parents have the right and duty to be involved.

The worst thing about waking up in Alberta is remembering that @ABDanielleSmith is still thick as a brick.

.@AbDanielleSmith the landing on Normandy beach did not “mark the beginning of the Second World War”. We did not invade Europe and began the war. WW2 did not start 79 years ago, on June 6, 1944. It started on September 1 1939. I’m worried about the Alberta curriculum. #ableg

Some Catholic schools in Edmonton have had them, selectively.

~ It's happened!! The first public school to be shut down and replaced by a charter school under the UCP. How many more will follow? This is the plan after all. #FuckTheUCP #BetterOffWithRachel wetaskiwintimes.com/news/wrp…

For many in Alberta’s 2SLGBTQ+ community, it doesn’t feel like a very happy Pride Month. You’re hurting. You’re worried. But please know this. You’re not alone. You matter. We see you. We love you. And we’re here for you and we won’t ever stop fighting for you. 🏳️‍⚧️🧡🏳️‍🌈

My pride flag that has hung outside my classroom above the door was ripped down on Tuesday and thrown in a toilet my jr high students. Admin STILL has not figured out who did it & have not reached out to me regarding the incident. Toxic work environment to say the least.
Teachers are reaching out. Today’s unbridled display of homophobia is new to them. “Have not seen or heard anything like this directly before today. Have obviously heard of these sorts of viewpoints from parents in a more indirect manner of course.” #AbEd #Ableg

Meanwhile, Jennifer Johnson, elected for the UCP in Lacombe-Ponoka, is the first Alberta MLA to win a seat in the legislature after comparing transgender students to literal feces baked into a batch of chocolate chip cookies during a campaign: not a deal breaker for Albertans.
