Anyone who doubts that LGBT ideology has become state ideology should look at how Canadian governments are responding to scattered debates across the country about LGBT flags and indoctrination in schools.
The most totalitarian response came from British Columbia, where Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care, issued a statement earlier this month “to mark Pride 2023 and celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in B.C.’s education system.”
Singh made it very clear that B.C.’s New Democratic Party (NDP) government would tolerate no dissent on the issue:
The month of June is a time for all in K-12 education throughout B.C. to hear more about Pride month, recognize and celebrate the contributions of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and learn more about the significance and origins of events that started out of protest, like the Pride parade.
From kindergarten to Grade 12, June is “a time” to learn about “Pride” and celebrate all that comes with it. Got it? And just in case anyone had an issue with that, Singh pre-emptively emphasized that mandatory celebration this was, in fact, the law of the province, as well as the indoctrination that comes with it:
In 2016, the B.C. Human Rights Code was amended to ensure that gender identity and expression are protected under the code. All schools must comply with the Human Rights Code and demonstrate they are creating safe, welcoming and inclusive environments for our students and staff.
In B.C., all 60 school districts have sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) codes of conduct in place, and all districts and many independent and First Nations schools participate in the BC SOGI Educator Network. SOGI-inclusive education helps students understand and respect each other’s differences, value human rights and recognize how we can respond to discrimination when it happens.
It is amazing to consider how swiftly Canada moved from “the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation” under the first Trudeau to “mandatory celebration of alternative sexual lifestyles is expected of all politicians, educators, and students” under the second. These mandatory celebrations face virtually no institutional resistance either – aside from New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs insisting that parents be told if public schools were socially transitioning their children, even allegedly “conservative” governments have enthusiastically joined in.
