Catholic School Board Goes Woke In Canada · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

• 0:03
  So every time I think that the West is waking up from its woke insanity,
• 0:07
  I see something like this Ontario Catholic School Board sends me and white supremacy
• 0:14
  to all new principles and vice principles for professional development. And this is the
• 0:19
  problem that we face, is that even though people are increasingly waking up to
• 0:23
  how incoherent and divisive and just outright insane modern far left woke ideology is,
• 0:31
  the inmates are still running the asylum. They have weaseled their way into positions
• 0:36
  of power in every single institution, and it's still gonna take a while before
• 0:41
  they can be removed and replaced with sane people. And so, even though
• 0:47
  I believe most people just don't like this stuff, they're still gonna push it,
• 0:52
  and they're not gonna stop until they don't have the power to push it
• 0:55
  anymore. And here's the book they're forcing on the staff says combat race,
• 1:00
  change the world and become a good ancestor. And the fact that to this
• 1:03
  ideology just demonstrably does the exact opposite of that, will it doesn't matter.
• 1:08
  So let's see, this book is reportedly mandatory reading if a person wants to
• 1:12
  work at the YCDSB. The Office of the Human Rights and Equity Advisor is
• 1:19
  committed to continuing the professional development journey of administrators through the work of Leyla F.
• 1:25
  Sad, author of Me and White Supremacy. And this stuff has always
• 1:30
  couched with words like journey, right, Like, it's this personal journey you
• 1:34
  have to go through this metamorphosis where you transform from the ugly, white privileged
• 1:41
  thing that you are now into this beautiful social justice butterfly. And by beautiful
• 1:47
  I mean beautiful at any size. And it's easy too. All you have
• 1:52
  to do is blame white people for everything and don't ask me how, but
• 1:57
  somehow that fights racism. Let's see it. Apparently a resource is available to
• 2:00
  ensure everybody understands the book correctly. That means there's one way to understand the
• 2:07
  book, and there's one conclusion that you can come to. Let's take a
• 2:09
  look at the intro to this book. It says recap reflect respond says,
• 2:15
  what is white privilege? We explore what it is using personal stories, history,
• 2:22
  pop culture, and the media. Wow, that sounds really rigorous.
• 2:28
  Sure she's got an air tight case. I mean, let's see personal anecdotes.
• 2:32
  Eminem hates himself for being white, and a journalist said that drinking milk
• 2:37
  is racist? What more do you need? How does white privilege show up?
• 2:42
  We examine examples of what it looks like in practice. Yeah, in
• 2:46
  practice, because this is the thing that people do. They walk around practicing
• 2:51
  their white privilege. What does it look like when it doesn't show up?
• 2:54
  Is that like when the entire media attacks you for voting for the wrong person,
• 2:59
  Or maybe it's when you don't get that promotion because you don't check off
• 3:00
  the right diversity boxes. But no, seriously, I mean it is important
• 3:05
  to explain how imaginary things are real, Otherwise you wouldn't know they exist.
• 3:10
  Why do we need to look at white privilege? Well, that's how you
• 3:15
  make money, and it's also good for the communist revolution. I'm not being
• 3:19
  facetious there, So let's see recap reflect respond. Okay, so what is
• 3:23
  white privilege? It's an imaginary concept. How does white privilege show up when
• 3:28
  people like you need a book deal? Why do we need to look at
• 3:30
  white privilege? Because there's no better way to get rich than to criticize white
• 3:36
  privilege and a white supremacist society. Obviously, let's see on Amazon here it's
• 3:42
  described as an eye opening book that challenges you to do the essential work of
• 3:46
  unpacking your biases only white people, though, just white people. If you're
• 3:52
  non white and you start unpacking your biases, I think that would be white
• 3:55
  supremacy. You know, of course it would. But in any case,
• 3:59
  let's continue and helps white people take action and dismantle the privilege within themselves so
• 4:04
  that they can stop, often unconsciously inflicting damage on people of color and in
• 4:11
  turn help other white people to do better too. But what if this is
• 4:15
  all bullshit? What if this is just people making assertions that aren't backed up
• 4:19
  by anything they say. The essential work, according to them, unpacking your
• 4:27
  biases that we definitely have and uniquely have. Actually nobody else in the world
• 4:31
  has them. Apparently, let's see, dismantle the privilege within themselves. It's
• 4:36
  hidden inside deep inside. I've heard that if you measure people at the time
• 4:41
  that they die, they suddenly weigh a gram less. That's the white privilege
• 4:46
  leaving their bodies, let's say. And of course it's often unconsciously too.
• 4:50
  You don't know, You wouldn't know unless they told you. I mean,
• 4:53
  there's all kinds of unconscious damage that you can do, like showing up for
• 4:58
  work on time. For instance here from edweek dot org. Recently, a
• 5:01
  school leader told me he doesn't feel comfortable asking people to come on time to
• 5:06
  meetings, as that perpetuates Waite supremacy. I think this is just an excuse
• 5:12
  for the fact that he's not comfortable setting expectations and holding people accountable to meeting
• 5:16
  them. What do you think, he says? I agree with you.
• 5:20
  I'm deeply concerned that an admirable push for equity is at risk of morphing into
• 5:26
  a nihilistic doctrine that excuses mediocrity. This would be destructive as hell, especially
• 5:32
  for kids at risk. Maybe the push for equity over equality was always a
• 5:40
  nihilistic doctrine that excuses mediocrity, and maybe it's always been destructive as hell,
• 5:46
  especially for kids at risk. And I think this kind of boils it down
• 5:49
  perfectly, doesn't it. If you want the essence of this insane ideology,
• 5:54
  it's being on time as racist. And if you just started from that place,
• 5:59
  everything else that we see today would just follow naturally. Anyway. That's
• 6:03
  all I gotta say about that. Please subscribe, like and share, sharing
• 6:06
  it really helps me out. Thank you for that. I will see you
• 6:09
  next time.
