Brainwashing

[Deleted member 18243]

Following on from the "New definition of a woman" thread, the schoolboy recording this encounter was kicked out of his class for refusing to accept Government brainwashing about "genders"...

None of us should accept what the Government is doing to us. There are more of us than them. Most of us are sheeple though.

Jeez us wept

When you get excluded for telling the truth. Very Orwellian. When the pupil is obviously more intelligent than the teacher.

Sinister!

 

[Justin Passing]

Kicked out for having an opinion, or having a "fact" (possibly) wrong, probably didn't happen.

Murray possibly denied someone else's self identity as non binary, or summat, which the person objected to?
Murray does not have the right to free speech in a school.

The teacher's obviously wrong with his words.


but,
"the schoolboy recording this encounter was kicked out of his class for refusing to accept Government brainwashing about "genders"..."

is not what's being said. Andy got it wrong (again).

In the bigger picture, yes it is.

Wee Murray is being forced to accept that there are more 'genders" (which is the wrong word but that's another story) than simply male and female. This comes from the Government through the conduit of the school and its teachers. Murray has the absolute right to complain about this.

This Government is evil.

No, he was arguing about "gender" which is now a meaningless word. It is now used to mean preference, wish, belief, feeling.

If he had said there were two sexes, it could have been the basis of a sensible discussion.

Your point illustrates a larger point, which is that dictionary words with long-standing well understood meanings are having new meanings enforced onto them.

The most recent example is "Pride", which always simply meant that you were proud of something. The events that were previously called "Gay Pride" have now become just "Pride", I'm guessing as a result of the organisers thinking the ever-growing long stream of letters lacked punchiness and many can't even remember what they all are or mean. So they've re-branded a word with very broad meaning to now have a much narrower definition that belongs only to a small minority. This won't be resisted, most people will quietly obey and stop having "pride" in anything other than their gender preference or whatever.

Another example is "Transition", which previously meant just a change of any state to any other, now it's becoming understood as being related to an apparent change of gender and nothing else. There are lots more examples too.

This has happened with lots of words. It's no wonder people get into arguments. If the pronouncement was that there are two genders but a number of gender identities or some other term then we wouldn't be having these arguments. I suspect that some of the militant campaigners deliberately make statements that they know will cause controversy, just to force their campaign into the news by causing this sort of friction.

The most recent example is "Pride",

The meaning of the word gay has also been changed.

Oh god's, the only thing worse than pensioners ranting about young people are debates about how language can't change.

No he isn't.
He's being told about the school's attitude. But you aren't kicked out of class for thinking something or giving an opinion, unless it's disruptive. This teacher had his head up his ar$e, that's all.

 

[Munroast]

as usual this boy sums the situation up perfectly

 

[carmanmemoranda]

As usual, it will be another load of rubbish.

Can you actually sit and watch and listen to him ?

I don't agree with Andy on much (hardly anything truth be told) however on this I do agree that encounter was uncomfortable to watch. There does appear to be something a little sinister going on here. I'm not sure whether it comes from a place of genuinely wanting everyone to feel comfortable/included or if there's something else at play.

Some of you might have seen the recent article I've linked to below. Yes it's in the DM however other outlets have reported on in and the university in question has replied, so it appears to be genuine. Although a few 'suggestions' in their list give me the creeps, the one on changing 'Christmas closure' to 'winter closure' is particularly disappointing to see. Whilst less people identify as Christian these days and even fewer will think about what Christmas actually means (on a spiritual level if you like) everyone I know refers to it as 'the Christmas holidays'. To 'suggest' we start referring to it as 'the winter holidays' so as not to offend other religions gets my hackles up.

Or let's look at it this way then. To ensure parity, every religion should be given advice by our councils not to use the historic name for their annual celebrations in case it offends people of other beliefs etc.

However, we all know that won't happen ...

What the authorities need to get their thick heads around is the fact that, if we try to suggest/legislate into society a means of communicating that is intended to never offend anyone in the slightest, we're going to end up in a vanilla, roboticised society.

Perhaps that's the plan ...

Is it not apparent to all these people, giving the advice, that they are actually offending and possibly marginalising, people of the Christian faith/belief etc?
Does this mean we should no longer refer to other religious ceremonies by their actual names either? Dwhali,(sp), Eid, Hannukkah, etc?
What do we call them instead?

So, why oh why, can't people just leave everyone to their own beliefs/religions and respect them?

Christianity is one of the main targets of communism and all our institutions have been taken over by communists. Communism wants strict adherence to the state and to nothing else. At one time it was illegal to own a bible in communist Russia. Over a few decades we have been brainwashed out of Christianity, the religion that founded our nation, protected it and made it great for a thousand years. There is a saying... People who don't believe in God will believe in anything. Isn't that true?!!
