A British Columbia NDP MLA is trying to get taxpayers to fund a no-whites-allowed committee to “eliminate systemic racism.”
MLA Niki Sharma has proposed the creation of a “racialized” committee under Bill 23, the Anti-Racism Act. If passed, the committee would create a framework for the province to combat racism.
All members of the Provincial Committee on Anti-Racism, under the bill, would have to be “racialized” and “have expertise in working to eliminate systemic racism and advance racial equity.”

Read MoreThe woke mob is turning on Taylor Swift for her new song “I Hate It Here” in which she sings that she would have liked to have lived in the 1830’s.
A growing number of online commenters have called out Swift for minimizing slavery and female oppression — even though Swift caveats her choice by referencing both subjects. One commenter even admonished Swift for being insufficiently “intersectional” in her activism.
Taylor Swift released “I Hate It Here” last week with the surprise drop of her new album The Tortured Poets Department.

Read More‘The insecure white boys writing history conveniently forget to mention that bit, because… well, structural racism’, the tour guide claimed
A London museum has been accused of “confusing the ignorant” and being “profoundly racist” after a guided audio tour incorrectly claimed King George III’s wife, Queen Charlotte, was a “person of colour”.
The guide, available to guests at the Queen’s House, part of Royal Museums Greenwich, sees guests given “a very gay tour” of the estate by drag king and historian Christian Adore.
As museum-goers walk past a figurehead of the former Queen taken from the royal yacht HMY Royal Charlotte, a section of the guide plays a recorded message saying: “Queen Charlotte, the nation’s first royal person of colour.
The idea that Queen Charlotte was not white was first put forward by German historian Brunold Springer in 1929 – a time of high interest in physiognomy pseudoscience in Germany – who claimed her portrait by Thomas Gainsborough was inaccurate.
Springer instead pointed to a portrait by Allan Ramsay, who emphasised her “broad nostrils and heavy lips”, while other academics have highlighted historical accounts of the Queen’s “Mulatto [mixed-race” face as evidence of her African heritage.
Later scholars pointed out one of her distant ancestors, Madragana, a Moorish mistress of Portugal’s King Afonso III, would have contributed to her appearance – though this has been put down by historians as the word “Moor” was a religious, not racial, descriptor at the time.

Read MoreCancelled teacher Jim McMurtry to appear before the BC Teachers Regulation Branch
In quoting from the Franz Kafka novel The Trial, “Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.” It was the morning of his 30th birthday.
On the morning of my 61st birthday I was walked out of my classroom at WJ Mouat Secondary School in Abbotsford and suspended for seven months for talking about the serial killer Paul Bernardo, who was in the news at the time as he had applied for parole.
I didn’t think I had done anything truly wrong in describing Bernardo’s capture, which came about when a Toronto cop came up with the idea of comparing lists of persons-of-interest in a cold case of a rapist in Scarborough in the late 80s with a case of a child murderer in Burlington, Ontario in the early 90s.
The following year I was walked out of another school in Abbotsford, this time permanently, for saying that students who died while enrolled in residential schools did so mostly from disease and not murder. The Commissioner of the Teachers’ Regulation Branch (TRB) wrote to my union ten days later to express “concern about Mr. McMurtry’s broader pattern of behaviour and [that] he would like Mr. McMurtry to consider his future in the teaching profession, particularly now that he has been suspended again as of June 1, 2021.”

Read MoreChildren’s author Gillian Philip was fired by her publisher for standing up to gender pseudoscience.
News of the Cass Review’s damning indictment of NHS England’s treatment of children with gender issues has finally reached Scotland. On Thursday, the Sandyford clinic – aka the Tartan Tavistock – announced that it has paused all prescribing of puberty blockers to vulnerable children.
This prompted a fierce backlash from those committed to trans ideology. On Friday morning, on BBC Radio Scotland, a father of a 10-year-old girl who has been ‘socially transitioning to a boy’ since before she could talk, had a public tantrum. He called the Cass Review ‘disappointing’ and stated that he didn’t trust it. Blind to the red flags billowing briskly in the Scottish wind, the presenter thanked him warmly for ‘sharing [his] family’s experience’.
This wasn’t even the most disturbing aspect of that interview. The girl had been socially transitioned as a toddler and was treated by teachers as a boy throughout her early-years education. No mention was made of the deception and gaslighting inflicted on every one of her classmates over that time.

Read MoreSydney residents question the implications of centralized truth and censorship in the wake of a government’s push to police online discourse.
Webb, who was sharing information about a 16-year-old male being accused of terrorism following the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel of Christ The Good Shepherd Church, asserted that the police will be the utterly reliable source of updates. She warned against “misinformation,” but decided not to elaborate on what she was alluding to.
This attempt by the Australian police to monopolize control over the narrative of the incident has raised concerns among the online community about censorship, especially as the government has been pressuring online platforms to censor in recent days. The government has even gone as far as telling people to report their fellow citizens’ speech to the country’s chief censor.
