"Tin Foil" Tom Mulcair compares cop shooter to Conrad Black

Yesterday on CTV's Question Period, the NDP boss compared a violent felon to Canada's most famous white-collar criminal.

It's not the first time the Opposition leader, who was busy last week trying to damage Canadian national interests in the US, made this comparison.

Mulcair's NDP has an affinity for murderous felons - they also enthusiastically supported bring convicted murderer and terrorist Omar Khadr to Canada.

Perhaps Mr. Mulcair could find time meet w/ the family of Joseph Pannell's late victim, police officer Terrence Knox: is.gd/lnGZuj

Using a serial rapist as a role model for kids? Thanks again Toronto District School Board!

One of the TDSB's role models they extol for Black History Month is serial rapist Eldridge Cleaver.

In his 1968 collection of essays titles Soul on Ice, the former Black Panther leader wrote:

"Rape was an insurrectionary act. It delighted me that I was defying and trampling upon the white man’s law, upon his system of values, and that I was defiling his women – and this point, I believe, was the most satisfying to me because I was very resentful over the historical fact of how the white man has used the black woman. I felt I was getting revenge. 

I started out practicing on black girls in the ghetto where dark and vicious deeds appear not as aberrations or deviations from the norm, but as part of the sufficiency of the Evil of a day. When I considered myself smooth enough, I crossed the tracks and sought out white prey. I did this consciously, deliberately, willfully, methodically."

The TDSB's homage to a rapist

Interestingly, later in life, Cleaver renounced his past and became a conservative Republican. Naturally, the ideological nitwits at the TDSB omitted that from his biographical notes.

Though there are many incredible role models for Black History Month who are Republicans or conservatives, the fanatics who run the Toronto District School Board don't want children "of color" to grow up to admire anyone who doesn't embrace identity politics and entitlements.

Among the conspicuous omissions from the TDSB's list of role models are the brilliant authors and philosophers Shelby Steele and Thomas Sowell, the military hero and former Congressman Allen West, and Former US Secretaries of State during George W. Bush's Presidency, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice.

Making the list, aside from the rapist Cleaver, was anti-Semitic author Alice Walker and Liberal patronage appointee Anne Cools.

UPDATE: And as one could predict, the TDSB's indoctrination has produced children who are praising a gang of racist, murdering rapists and drug-dealers. Identity politics at its worst. Keep up the great job, Toronto District School Board!

Toronto District School Board is shamed into removing Black Panther and El Salvadoran Communist party lessons

The Toronto District School Board disappeared a couple of controversial lessons from its website yesterday.

Removed from TDSB website

Following exposure by this blog earlier in the week of lessons promoting the racist, violent Black Panther organization and the Communist Party of El Salvador, the TDSB was left red-faced and killed the pages.

A reader of Eye on a Crazy Planet provided tips to the lessons and a post on this blog, which was picked up by some conservative blogs, pressured the TDSB to act.

The National Post (which quoted Eye on a Crazy Planet without mentioning the blog by name) followed up on the story and reported the TDSB's reaction.

Unfortunately, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

While blatant examples of the abuse of the education system to promote a politicized agenda sometimes shame the TDSB into excising particular lessons, that agenda remains in place. It will likely get worse in the foreseeable future with the appointment of an Ontario Institute for Studies in Education graduate as Premier of Ontario, and with the appointment of another OISE grad, Donna Quan, as the TDSB's acting Education Director. OISE is a fanatical, politicized institution where anti-capitalist activism is allowed to substitute for academic standards. And it is the place where the people who form Ontario's educational policies are taught and have their ideas shaped.

The only way this type of betrayal of our children will ever stop is if average parents continue to monitor what is happening in schools. It's tragic that many of our elected leaders and those entrusted to educate our children abuse that trust to further their own ideologies, which have nothing to do with actual education. But as long as that's the case, then there is no other choice than for average citizens to do what they can to push back.
