Latest / Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show! / Woke School Removes All Books From 2008 Or Earlier
Transcript
- 0:00So I guess the cultural revolution in Canada is moving full speed ahead. Here's
- 0:05the headline, empty shelves with absolutely no books. Students, parents question school
- 0:11boards, library reading process says, books published in two thousand and eight or
- 0:17earlier removed from the school library amid confusion around new equity based process. So
- 0:24the woke school board is getting rid of everything that they don't think is equity
- 0:29enough or in other words, Marxist enough. Harry Potter, The Hunger Games
- 0:35and Roll of Thunder hear me Cry. Those are all examples of books that
- 0:39Rena Takata says she can no longer find in her public high school library in
- 0:45Mississauga, Ontario, which she visits on her lunch hour most days. Quote.
- 0:50This year, I came into my school library and there are rows and
- 0:54rows of empty shelves with absolutely no books. She estimates that more than fifty
- 0:59percent of her school's library books are gone. Well, I'm sure there's nothing
- 1:03to worry about. I'm sure that woke school board will fill those shelves back
- 1:07up with, you know, the Communist Manifesto and pornography. In the spring,
- 1:11Takatasist students were told by the staff that quote If the shelves look emptier
- 1:15right now, it's because we have to remove all books published prior to two
- 1:19thousand and eight. So removing all books prior to two thousand and eight,
- 1:26I wonder why that would be. I mean, is that just an arbitrary
- 1:29year they picked? Or I mean, what started happening ten fifteen years ago?
- 1:34Is there's something that started happening. Was there some sort of influence that
- 1:37was starting to suffuse everything cultural and academic around that time? I wonder made
- 1:44me think about the Four Olds? What were the four olds? It was
- 1:48a term used during the Cultural Revolution by the student led Red Guards in the
- 1:53People's Republic of China in reference to the pre communist elements of Chinese culture they
- 2:00attempted to destroy. The four olds were old ideas, old culture, old
- 2:06customs, and old habits. Any of this sounding familiar to any of you?
- 2:10Huh? Well, Apparently the school board says that the new process,
- 2:14intended to ensure library books are inclusive, appears to have led some schools to
- 2:20remove thousands of books solely because they were published in two thousand and eight or
- 2:24earlier. H hold on a second, so old ideas, old culture no
- 2:30also ran across this Concordia. Concordia launches a plan to decolonize and indigenize its
- 2:37curriculum and pedagogy. The five year Initiative will resenter indigenous voices, histories and
- 2:44ways of doing across the university. So aside from the fact that how do
- 2:49you decolonize engineering or mathematics, it sounds like a good way to get bridges
- 2:54to collapse and planes to fall out of the sky, and this ways of
- 2:59doing? What does that even mean exactly? But one thing that strikes me
- 3:02in this is the five year initiative. Really so five year plan like in
- 3:08the Soviet Union and in communist China. I don't know. I am starting
- 3:13to see a pattern here, are you. Let's see pedagogy. What does
- 3:16that mean again? Well, that's the method and practice of teaching, especially
- 3:21as an academic subject or theoretical concept. But I think we all know what's
- 3:25really happening here is critical pedagogy, a philosophy of education that encourages students to
- 3:31be critical towards their reality. It's power structures, contradictions, and flaws.
- 3:38In short, it's training kids to be revolutionaries, just like the Cultural revolution
- 3:43in China. How do you do it? Well, you got to destroy
- 3:45the old ideas, the old culture, the old customs, and the old
- 3:49habits. Those things are all reactionary, they're counter revolutionary. I mean,
- 3:53could that be a reason to ban books published in two thousand eight or earlier,
- 3:58to disconnect kids from the fact that people ever thought differently than their teachers
- 4:02do. I mean, those books might have some mapesky counter revolutionary ideas in
- 4:08them. You know, really best that they just read things that have been
- 4:11written in the woke era. But let's go back to this campaign to destroy
- 4:14the four Olds in China, the renaming campaign that sound familiar, renaming roads
- 4:19and buildings, this ringing any bells? How about vandalizing public sites, maybe
- 4:25things like statues. I mean, there's nothing more counter revolutionary than the wrong
- 4:29statue. So look, we're at the point now where you've got Canadian schools
- 4:33banning books published before two thousand and eight. They're not doing it because they're
- 4:39dog eared. They're doing it because obviously because it might impede their indoctrination.
- 4:46I mean, if you just change the names in this right, this could
- 4:49just be a story about the Chinese cultural revolution. I mean, this is
- 4:54in plain sight At this point, I don't need one. I don't know
- 4:58what more evidence we need. The playbook is easy. Here several children from
- 5:01their past, from their own parents. You know, Justin Trudeau is a
- 5:05big fan of keeping parents in the dark about what's happening to their kids at
- 5:10school. The purpose of it all is to simply brainwash your kids, and
- 5:15the sooner we can start a five year plan to de brainwash them, the
- 5:19better. Anyway, Please subscribe, like and share. Sharing really helps me
- 5:24out. I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
