Choose your preferred cause (anti-Satan-worship, gay rights, Muhammed the prophet, veganism, anti-Communism, or whatever), and adapt this clause from Ontario’s Bill 67:
“If the Minister learns, upon conducting an investigation or otherwise, that a member of the board does not have a proven commitment to racial equity in the education sector, the Minister shall require that member to take anti-racism training within the following six months.”

* “If the Minister learns that one does not have a proven anti-Satan commitment, the Minister shall require anti-Satanic training.”
* “… one does not have a proven commitment to gay rights, the Minister shall require pro-gay training.”
* “… one does not have a proven commitment to Muhammed, the Minister shall require Islamic training.”
* “… one does not have a proven commitment to healthy eating, the Minister shall require diet training.”
* “… one does not have a proven commitment to anti-Marxism, the Minister shall require anti-Communist training.”
Everything can be politicized this way. Genuine liberals educate liberally—not through threats, coercion, and indoctrination camps.
(By the way, do you have a proven commitment not to beat your wife, not to be a pedophile, not to be planning a terrorist attack? I await your documentation.)
I haven’t heard of any petitions about this bill from Ontarians. Seems like it is definitely chilly there.
The terrifying Bill 67 is yet more evidence that Canada is becoming a hideous clone of Orwell’s superstate Oceania. The same is happening in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Western Europe. I don’t know what is more frightening, the power-crazed monstrous politicians, bureaucrats, and corporatists building the new worldwide Oceania or the mindless masses who sit by silently allowing themselves to be slowly boiled like frogs in a pot. And where are the so called Western intellectuals that should be sounding the alarm? Aside from the ever courageous Jorden Peterson, the rest are averting their eyes, merrily giving bland lectures in the classroom and pretending that all is well.
To “not have a proven commitment to racial equity” means what, exactly?
While intent is a crucial factor in a court of law, how can a “subconscious” action be judged the same way as a “conscious” action?
What sort of “expert” can judge a person’s “inaction”? If there are no actions to judge, we will then resort to judging a person’s character.
How, in our democratic country of Canada, can it be acceptable for any person to be authorized to judge another person’s character?
Inevitably, innocent people will be misjudged. This is scary.
