Democrats are sneaking online censorship of “hate speech” into the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) under the guise of “protecting kids” – and many Republicans on capitol hill appear to be on board.
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) was prompted by the Surgeon General’s report on “Social Media and Youth Mental Health,” which complained of “hate-based content” and how “transgender youth are disproportionately impacted by online harassment and abuse.”

Kamel El-Cheikh is an Ottawa businessman and a devout Muslim who is adamantly opposed to gender ideology in the school system. He believes that parents should have a right to raise their children in the faith of the family and to at least be able to object if those kids want to change their gender in elementary school.
Last September, he organized the Million Person March for Children to protest gender ideology and support parental rights – and he wasn’t kidding. At protests across Canada, from Vancouver to Halifax – Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus and people of any faith – congregated at mayor’s offices, provincial legislatures and Parliament Hill in numbers that did not disappoint the promise of a million people being present.

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 MoreA lawsuit launched more than two years ago by a group of former Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) students over the school’s COVID vaccination policy has been given clearance to proceed.
Ryan O’Connor has been representing 18 students from the university, which was formerly known as Ryerson, since they launched their lawsuit in 2022. Despite the long delay, a judge has now decided enough evidence exists to move the case to discovery, he told The Epoch Times.
“[TMU lawyers] wanted to appear in court to attempt to schedule a summary judgment motion and have the lawsuit tossed, claiming there was no viable cause for action that the students had against the university,” Mr. O’Connor said.
However, in February the court decided “this is a case that ought to go through the normal legal process,” he said. He expects the sharing of evidence and oral cross-examinations to begin sometime this summer.
