The Critical Theory in Education makes honouring Canadian soldiers uncomfortable (for activists)

Ontario school boards, like most of our institutions, have been taken over by Critical Theory activists who have ensured that “identities” and “lived experiences” form the cornerstone of board policies and practice.

Accordingly, in schools, Canada is depicted as a genocidal, white-supremacist state. It may have become a sovereign nation in 1867, but as far as the activists are concerned, it is still a colonial entity on “stolen land”. Indigenous people are the “title holders” and the rest of us are mere “settlers”. There is a deep dark secret past of black slavery. We Canadians are not the good guys. Privileged (white) people need to make amends.

The fact that our youth are being indoctrinated into this stark and ahistorical viewpoint comes as a shock to the average citizen when I bring it to their attention. Most are disbelieving, or at least accuse me of exaggeration. I wish that were so.
