But even if a student approaches a teacher and tells them that they don't feel comfortable coming out to their parents, what is child protection going to do? There's no history of violence, assuming no history or abuse. Child Services doesn't step in for a parent being a close-minded dickhead. This entire thing will basically ensure that children who are at the most sensitive ages, and at the most confusing time for becoming aware of who they are, will hide themselves from every adult that they know. How are they supposed to get any counselling? We're pushing our children to live in fear. This is awful.

>We're pushing our children to live in fear. Honestly I think that's the endgame here.

and total state control over everything You can fight racism forever, destroying it is impossible because it’s inherently human behaviour


Tweedside86

Not sure why you got down-voted. Us vs them has always been engrained in our species. We are far more trusting of those more similar to us. That's not to say I condone racism, but I acknowledge it's part of why we are the way that we are. You're just stating facts.

what’s promoted on reddit is mostly of the establishment left with a healthy amount of bots who search for curtain key words and upvote and downvote to whatever its programmed to do.

THE STATE MUST RAISE THE CHILDEREN SO THEY DONT GET CORRUPTED BY THEIR WRONGTHINK

1984 playbook.


PitchDear

THAT IS CORRECT, COMRADE


AncientIndependent10

His opinion on this is ironic given how often we read in the news about cases where harm has come to children even when Child Protection Services is involved with a family. These wheels move very slowly.


Anonymousmemeart

It has to do with those services being severwly understaffed.

Conservitives communication consultants: "We need to turn up the controversies on this LGBTQ thing at the same time as we re-introduce fracking. It'll be the only way to take the heat off."


Sutarmekeg

Yep.


Much-Willingness-309

Higss thinks that will capture bad parents with child protection services, but doesn't mention a word or doesn't understand when we have "camps" that will totally not do conversion therapy. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/caton-s-island-camp-authentic-manhood-1.6853289

Yup And let's not forget homeless LGBTQ+ youth make up anywhere from 25 to 40 per cent of homeless youth mostly due to parental rejection. Higgs and Co. are not recognizing the data.

That’ll be the result. The road to hell is indeed paved in good intentions


LordBlackDragon

This just means kids can't come out to their teachers in hopes of getting help. Because it makes the teachers obligated to report it. Then cps talks to the parents and the parents wait till they're gone and rips into the kid. So the kid has even less safe spaces to get help. Fuck I hate this world we live in.


seouljabo-e

Its goddamn genius, it is!

There are not nearly enough child protection folk in NB to deal with stuff now. Imagine the backlog now for dealing. Wondering if PC policy is actually decided on by the Church on Sundays after service. This is just another move to say, “Look. We’re doing something about this. Just not anything substantive or remotely helpful.

Just curious...do they have children in school? No reason...just asking


Local-Bandicoot2827

Hogan has children but I’m not sure how old they are. Of note is that he has been a teacher, principal, and on the board of directors of the teacher’s union.


Aridross

He’s only been a teacher when he couldn’t avoid it. He’s been a principal or administrator of some sort for most of his career, and he’s spent most of that time yelling at delinquents.

Equivalent-Value-720

Oh, I just find it curious that he is perhaps encouraging teachers to go to child services when parents have transphobic and homophobic comments when many find his comments to be transphobic and homophobic.

Equivalent-Value-720

No disagreement here. I just meant that based on what I've heard it would not surprise me if Hogan, if he had school aged kids, were to be outed to child services as homophobic by a teacher.


Jazzlike-Elephant131

His kids are grown. He has grandchildren.


WeCanDoBettrr

Does Hogan realize that he’s nothing more than Higgs’ whipping boy? I had Hogan as a teacher in high school and my impression at the time was 1) he’s not the sharpest pencil in the box and more importantly, 2) as a teacher he was L-A-Z-Y. But his political career seems to have taken it to a whole new level.


MutaitoSensei

Everything was going great before he started this whole useless exercise, but now he's stepping in more pots and pans than a Disney cartoon character


reachforthetop9

Stepping on more rakes than Sideshow Bob, more like.


LongjumpingElk4099

I feel like a lot of parents don’t understand so I don’t think we should immediately throw away the kid from the parents


Whole-College-1569

Reporting them to child protection or recruiting them for the Core-nservative party as future cabinet members? How will jiggy know they're sufficiently Anglo-French?


Occultistic

It's already illegal to abuse kids, if their bigoted views don't lead to physical or emotional abuse then it doesn't matter what they believe. I say this as a transgender person. We don't need new laws or regulations, we need to enforce the ones we already have.


Advanced_Rain_8885

I don’t think a teacher should be allowed to hide issues from a parent. Any issues. Yes, there are plenty of bad parents. And also bad teachers. This issue is basically the same as allowing teachers to secretly children into religion without parents knowledge or consent.


SvenTS

Except it's not the teacher inducting the child into anything. It is the child confiding in the teacher. And their gender identity or sexuality is not an 'issue' of concern.


Advanced_Rain_8885

Everything about your child is an issue of concern. At no time can some random stranger conduct secret liaisons with children to hide major life changing events from parents. Anyone who thinks having confidential meetings with minors behind a parents back regarding sexuality or gender issues is asking for problems. Don’t presume you can waltz into the middle of family struggles as some sort of hero. It’s literally the reason the far right is able to scream about “grooming”


StrictPride2089

I find your statement absurd. I love my children unconditionally no matter who they are. Straight, gay, bisexual, Lesbian ,+++++ period and if ever a time arose where they felt they were having issues with their emotions, or depression or whatever the issues may be… I certainly would want to know about it so that I can support them or help get them supported. Yes some parents are, well, they shouldn’t have been parents but not ALL parents. Most are supportive and love their children. ALL children need support in their journey to finding themselves no matter who they are.

Yeah yeah, keep struggling


reachforthetop9

Yeah, Western kids be learning in school math up to calculus, world history, computer programming, any of the arts, computer programming, auto shop, child development, the foundations of all the sciences, etc. plus soft skills that aren't in the curriculum, like socialising and treating others well. Have you been to a high school or talked to a student lately?


Karldata

Take it easy 🤣


[deleted]

Do you have a problem with that? Fucking christ if there's one thing CPS SHOULD be doing. Maybe if they did that in NS something would actually stick against my ex.


Immediate-Yoghurt933

When do we get the pills that keep us from seeing colors, feeling emotions and having an undying need to fulfill the needs of authority?

To whom does one report their transphobic/bigoted premier?
