Alberta Teachers' Association (Canada) pushes a horrible 'diversity' indoctrination guide for high schoolers. Contains a multitude of embarrassments, as well as tips on how to subvert math classes in order to push transgenderism [SocJus]
So the Alberta Teachers' Association has released a 'toolkit' for the treatment of 'sexual and gender minorities', which is an absolute parade of horrors of regression, opposition to free speech, as well as a guide on how to indoctrinate young students (12-18) into their cult. Apparently it's publicly funded as well (p. 149). The whole thing is 152 pages long, so there isn't time enough and space to point out everything that is wrong with it. I will focus on the main issues.
So buckle your seatbelts, because you're in for a treat... of absolute societal poison.
The basics
Let's dive straight into it. The document talks about people as being 'assigned male/female at birth', as if perception that someone is a gender is an assignation (p.15). It promotes the delusion of 'agender/genderless' and other nonsense as though it were actually legitimate. Worse:
Gender fluid—gender identity that refers to a gender which varies over time. A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female, neutrois, or any other nonbinary identity, or some combination of identities. Their gender can also vary at random or vary in response to different circumstances. (p. 16)
Neutrois. Is that a combination of the German word for new and the French word for three? Sacre bleu! What pronouns are they endorsing? Well...
Pronoun usage—it is important to be courteous to others about their pronoun choice to avoid misgendering them. In English, the following are considered gender-neutral pronouns: they/them, ey/em, ze/zim, zir, hir, xe/xim. Feminine pronouns are she/her and masculine pronouns are he/him.
EY! Em... this is total bullcrap.
Some reasons that people choose to use gender-neutral pronouns include...to indicate that gender is not relevant in many contexts, or to make a political statement about gender;...to act in solidarity with a friend or loved one who uses gender neutral pronouns
On page 22, teachers are told not to say 'boys and girls' or 'ladies and gentlemen', but 'folks', 'friends' and 'students'... because that is... inclusive. Don't say 'mom/dad' but instead say 'responsible adults. Makes so much sense.
Straight privilege
The document cites 'anti-racist' Peggy McIntosh's odious paper on 'white privilege'. It claims people have straight privilege, and tells them to 'reflect on it.
Questions for Reflection (for those with Straight Privilege)
• How does my privilege impact my teaching?
• Does my privilege influence how I choose support materials in my teaching?
• How can I make sure that my privilege doesn’t interfere with my allyship?
• What can I do to learn about how my privilege impacts my life?
How to create an 'inclusive classroom'? Well...
Avoid asking kids to line up as boys or girls or separating them by gender.
Don’t use phrases such as “boys and girls,” “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention. Instead, use words that are not gendered, such as “good morning folks,” “hey everybody,” or “y’all.” Or you can try “calling all readers,” or “hey campers” or “could all of the athletes come here.”
Provide opportunities for individuals to identify a preferred name or pronoun.
Have visual images reinforcing gender inclusion: “All Genders Welcome” door hangers or pictures of people who don’t fit gender norms. You could also include signs that “strike out” sayings like “All Boys…” or “All Girls…”
Be intolerant of openly hostile attitudes or references towards others EVERY TIME you hear or observe them, but also use these as teachable moments
In order to be tolerant, you have to be intolerant of any statement we don't like. EVERY TIME.
Thought policing
The report calls on teachers to thought and language police all their students.
Addressing homophobic and transphobic language are essential parts of creating safer spaces for all students
This includes even statements as innocuous as 'that's so gay'. Intent doesn't matter. You're guilty because we decided that you're guilty.
When confronted about their language, particularly with phrases such as “That’s so gay,” many students will respond with some version of “we didn’t mean anything by it” or they were “just joking.” They try to dismiss corrections because they did not intend harm with their words. This is the perfect opportunity to discuss intent versus impact.
Math
Not even math is safe from talentless social engineers posing as 'teachers' using the minds of young kids as their plaything. The document (p. 97-98) tells teachers to use their math classes to push same-sex relations and transgenderism, as well as individuals who demand to be called by plural pronouns. Should any student be confused or have the temerity to laugh, the diversity thought-policing kicks in.
Students may be confused about the names found in the lesson plan. They may even find it funny. This is your opportunity to discuss diversity and emphasize your expectations for zero-tolerance for homophobic and transphobic language. See page 58 of this resource for more information on addressing harmful language.
Can we call them fascists yet?
2. Phoenix is building a frame for their window. The frame is 88 cm wide and 105 cm tall. Phoenix measures the diagonal of their frame and finds that it is 137 cm. Is the frame a rectangle? Justify your answer
The express aim of the lessons are to 'build empathy and acceptance by normalizing content with same-sex and gender neutral names'. And this is why people start thinking that every occurrence of minorities, gay people and what else is an instance of diversity policing, because these obsessive, guilt-ridden, talentless morons keep pushing it absolutely everywhere.
PE (physical education)
Remember when feminists started to whine about how people talk about 'throwing like a girl' to describe, well, throwing like a girl? The Alberta Teachers Association now demands thought policing over such utterances (p. 105).
If you have established a rule that there will be no name calling, bullying or harassment in the sports space, discuss all the ways this matters. Include gendered slurs that insinuate weakness and phrases like “throwing like a girl.” Emphasize that trash talk is harmful, especially if includes homophobic and transphobic slurs.
And of course, never divide by... perceived gender...
In your own practice, look at ways to make changes to ensure that all students feel safe and respected. For example, avoid grouping students by perceived gender (boys vs girls) and consider alternate ways to divide groups in your classes. See more examples of what is out of bounds here: http://www.glsen.org/sports/pe-teachers.
Funny how students never not felt respected by such divisions until five minutes ago. Here are some other things they want to force on students:
Have students create posters for the sports spaces and around the school to demonstrate their commitment to safe spaces.
Have students create a series of announcements that address homophobia and transphobia in sports.

The kicker? The end of the page says that 'links not reviewed', which means: 'The link has not been reviewed and teachers are advised to use caution when using it.' They didn't even bother to look at the links they are propagandizing.
Art
It's 2017, art can no longer be about art. The Alberta Teachers Association recommends dedicating 'two to five class periods' to (p. 107)...
Students will investigate the advancement of rights and recognition for SGM communities.
Research the rainbow flag as a symbol of the SGM community and what the colours that comprise the flag stand for.
Encourage students to use the creative process—drawing, painting or collage—to reflect upon their own identities, including gender.
None of this has anything to do with art. It isn't about art. It's about indoctrination.

Encouraging cross-dressing
Theater isn't safe either. Instead, it's a good opportunity to make sure that boys wear girls' clothing as well as make-up. We all know that girls wearing make-up is patriarchal and something, but boys? No, that's great - they are the oppressor class (p.118).
Drama provides a good example of a course in which a discussion relating to sexual and gender identity might naturally arise...In this activity, students put their hair and make-up skills to the test while learning about the art form of drag culture in society and in theatre...Students may also want to organize a drama performance for the school while dress [sic] in drag.
Music
Selecting music based on how good it is? You filthy bigot. The Alberta Teachers Association recommends that teachers have activities where they pick out music because it was created by 'SGM' (p. 119).
Queer music. Teachers are intentional in their selection of music for their classes and choose music by artists who are sexual or gender minorities (SGM)... The music could also be shared for enjoyment in the music room and not be performed at all. Alternately, music teachers could choose to make a display in their classroom that highlights the contributions of SGM musicians.
It isn't about music, is it?
You Have No Clue
One of the last parts of the document is a long list of people who are allegedly gay, as well as being allegedly famous for other things. Although it contains a huge number of dubious claims, it claims to only mention people 'whose homosexuality or bisexuality is not debated' (p. 136). Michelangelo was apparently an 'engineer'. What's worse... there is a list of gay 'heads of state'. This includes prime ministers of countries that have a king (who is the head of state of those countries) like Belgium. There are exactly zero heads of state in that list. The kicker? It also claims that Klaus Wowereit (German politician) is a head of state. He is in fact the president (i.e., chairman) of the Social Democratic Party.
Apparently, the people who are teaching Canadian high school students are too dumb to figure out that being the president of a political party is not the same as being head of state. This is what we're up against. Weaponized stupidity, pushed on children who have not yet developed the cognitive skills to fight back against being turned into a drone. It's like religion, but worse, because at least religions tolerate other religions and non-beliefs, while these people want to have power over absolutely everyone.
The point
I post this because Social Justice Warriors are moving from indoctrinating college students to attacking high school and sometimes even elementary school students, and censoring any point of view that is 'problematic' according to their extremist ideology.
If we let this sort of thing pass, children will be dumb as hell, but they'll be completely up to date on the political line of the commissars. Or more likely, the West will absolutely be dominated by places that aren't parasitized by political correctness... which will be a mercy. Already I try to avoid buying from American companies as much as possible. Samsung phones may explode in my face, but at least I can be sure that they don't have 'diversity' offices in Korea.
