When the Louis Riel School
Division gleefully announced that the board had suspended one of its school
trustees, only The Black Rod examined the reasons why.
To our astonishment, we
discovered that none of the publicized reasons for suspension were valid.
Trustee Francine Champagne had done nothing, said nothing, or written anything
on the job that fit any of the alleged reasons for her suspension.
So why, we asked, would
the remaining trustees risk their reputations and maybe even their jobs, to
excoriate a duly elected school official who was innocent of any wrongdoing?
The answer presented
itself two weeks later with the unexpected announcement by Ryan Palmquist,
another LRSD trustee, that he was coming out of the closet. Palmquist said he
was a 'bisexual' who was married, to a woman, and was the father of three
children.
He could, he said, hide as
a pretend-heterosexual, but he "owed" it to gay and transexual kids
and their families to share the risk of violence with them. Yes, he said
violence.

Therefore, in the spirit
of solidarity with youth and their families, please know that you have a school
board stacked with allies and indeed, at least one LGBTQ2S+ member taking
your well being and your safety to heart, from the heart. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

At least one LGBTQ2S+ member? Is the implication in this social media post
by bi-Ryan that there are other gay, bisexual and/or transexual trustees on the
Louis Riel board? At the very least, Palmquist is saying that the suspension
was not professional; for him, it was personal.
The school board suspended Trustee Champagne, not because of anything she
did, but because she was guilty of thought crime. They were sending a message
to parents that Orwellian wrong-think would not be allowed in the LRSD and the
sitting trustees would squash any attempt to challenge their values.
What was her thought crime? One news story said she "recently shared another user’s post that states: 'Make men masculine again. Make women feminine again. Make children innocent again'."
Palmquist believes that sharing such a view is path to violence.
To Woke educators, this is hate speech.
********
Trustee Champagne's challenged Facebook posts have a common theme---they're
opposed to the sexualization of children through Woke sex education.
Sexualization used to be a term used to describe dressing little girls,
often pre-adolescents, up in sexy clothes and makeup to mimic the looks that
teen girls and young women would use to attract the attention of grown men. Now
it's taken on a different meaning--- highlighting the sexuality of children of
both sexes.
The Webster's dictionary definition of sexuality is "interest in or
concern with sex, sex drive or activity."
After a deep dive into the rabbit hole, we finally understood the battle
lines.
Parents represented by Francine Champagne believe that children should be
allowed to mature at their own pace and to grow up and form healthy adult
relationships. To Woke educators this is hate speech.
Here's why:
They believe that the path to achieve the socialist, equitable society
foreseen by Marxist writer Pablo Friere (see
the last Black Rod) is to fight oppression that exists everywhere in
capitalist society, starting with children who will be the adults in that
future world.
The chief obstacle in their view is heterosexuality, which is the greatest
oppressor in society. (We're not making this up. Honest.)
Heterosexuality, in the Woke world, is the cause of a male-oriented society
which oppresses women. To be men, boys
must accept "toxic masculinity" which often leads to violence against
women and gays. Girls are expected to be overtly feminine and those who aren't
are discriminated against by both men and women.
But the biggest victims of heterosexuality are the alphabet-sex people.
LGBTetcetera. Since 96 percent of people are heterosexuals, that sex
orientation is considered "normal."
And everyone else is abnormal, which leads to discrimination by the
normal, they say. To achieve true equity, heterosexuality must be eliminated,
goes the narrative.
How do you stop the normal boy-girl attraction, you ask? The answer, in the Woke view, is
simple---eliminate boys and girls. Teach children that they aren't male or
female, boys and girls, they are genders.
It used to be that children were taught that, according to scientists, a
person's sex was determined by chromosomes; so many of these and you were male,
so many of those and you were female. But modern Woke educators want to erase
the science and replace it with a made-up declaration that true sexes don't
exist, damn the science, and the real sex of students is socially constructed
through the choices students make on how they act, dress, and chose to be
called.
Students are told they can be any gender they want. They can be boys one
day, girls the next and boys again the day after. Gender is "fluid",
they're told. Just as fluid is how they should consider having sex.
In the Louis Riel School Division gay/straight alliance groups have now
been renamed gender sexuality alliances. There's that emphasis on sexual practices
that raises parents' concerns.
The Woke crowd calls this hateful conspiracy theories. The true conspiracy is how Woke educators
have perverted the English language to trick parents into accepting their
agenda.

Sex-education used to be informing children where babies come from. Now it’s
telling children various ways to have sex, introducing 10 year olds to oral sex
and anal sex. From Twitter:
@Palmquist88
Sex Ed entails more
than “here’s a grainy diagram of ovaries and testicles”. Sex Ed means educating
youth about what sexual intercourse is, what it looks like, and what is safe
It’s abuse
prevention. It’s not just about what consent is, but what you might be asked to
consent too (sic)

Equity doesn't mean equality, as most people believe. Gender doesn't mean male or female.
Discrimination used to mean treating someone differently because of his
race, sex, or other characteristic. Now it means judging someone who does not
fit the heterosexual mold. When mayoral candidate Glen Murray grossed out his
colleagues at his job in Alberta by his stories of his promiscuous homosexual
lifestyle outside of his marriage, his colleagues were wrong to judge him by
their heterosexual standards, say the Woke. The co-workers were hateful.
The clash between parents and educators came to a head in Brandon last
month when concerns about sexually explicit sex-ed books made the headlines.
Winnipeg school trustee Palmquist jumped into the fray.

I was given a book by
my parents to read at age 11 which depicted cartoon sex acts by nude adults. It
was valuable to me, and had my parents not provided it I would not have had
access to that critical information except from internet porn. Todays kids do
and we are better for it

Of course he wrote this while still pretending to be a normal married man.
Now that his homosexual tendencies have been revealed, he may regret linking a
sex-ed book to becoming gay, probably not the message he intended.

Educators and responsible adults use common
sense and discretion in order to give kids and youth as fulsome of a sexual
education as they are capable of understanding at the appropriate time.
Knowledge is power and sex education is empowering.
Palmquist's wife and former beard rushed to back him up. He is married to
Meghan Waters, a teacher in the Louis Riel School Division, who was nominated
as the NDP candidate in St. Boniface until pregnancy took precedence and she
stepped away. But not before flying her Woke flag high; in a social media post
the day the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe vs Wade abortion rights
decision she lamented "Very upsetting day for people with
uteruses..." Is saying 'women' hate speech, too?
The Mrs. also had a story to tell about a sex-education book.

Replying to @Palmquist88
The images from the books Darren is using to
fear monger are from a book called « Let’s talk about it ». The recommended age is 14-17. The last image
is from « It’s perfectly normal » and you can see it’s a lot less graphic. That book we actually own and is in our
son’s library.

Here’s our copy of
“it’s perfectly normal” which the image in frame 4 comes from. It’s in the library in the bedroom of our
sons, ages 7 & 3
The publishers' recommended reading age for "It's Perfectly
Normal" is 10 and up.
(You can actually read it yourself here:
https://www.penguinrandomhouseretail.com/book/?isbn=9781536207200 )
And you wonder where conspiracy theories come from? Their behavior may be perfectly normal to the board of the Louis Riel School Division, but parents, and maybe Child and Family Services, could have a different opinion.
