From JaneCStevenson: Anthony Furey: School's removal of Mother's Day sign 'woke nonsense'
The sign outside Kew Beach Junior Public School was meant as a Mother’s Day greeting and said, ‘Life does not come with a manual. It comes with a mom,’ before complaints about it excluding non-traditional families led the school to remove it.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
“Whatever you want to call this, this woke nonsense, whatever it is, parents are frustrated, they are sick of it, they have had enough. Parents of all walks of life, all across the city, they want to focus on academic excellence, school safety and parents’ rights. I think the general sense is this has gone too far. We want to include all families, all voices, but we shouldn’t be shutting down these things.
“We have seen too many instances of violence, of attacks going on, students against students, stuff on school property, teachers in some schools are afraid to go to school, a buddy system in the parking lot. It’s unacceptable and it was not right when we eliminated the program of cops in schools,” said Furey.
“And, quite frankly, those activists who mischaracterized and slandered the officers involved in this program, they had it wrong. You should see what these officers were doing in terms of taking out to movie nights, doing sports sessions, sports training, homework club and so forth. These officers that were in the schools, they’re not just standing there as silent armed guards.”
