It is a grim, cramped, mean miserable form of tyranny. Jeff Jones is a popular, well-thought-of drama teacher at Toronto's Oakwood Collegiate,. He handed out a page of sexual and racial jokes to his grade 9 and 10 drama class. Students in groups were to choose five of these jokes and develop them into a skit. These are jokes that are part of the students' world, however "inappropriate" -- to use the politically correct catch-all denunciation -- they might be. For thias, he was fired, as the Toronto Star (March 6, 2013) reports: "An Oakwood Collegiate drama teacher who handed out seven pages of violent and racist jokes to his students as part of an assignment has been fired. The Toronto District School Board confirmed Wednesday that Jeff Jones ( http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/03/01/teacher_sent_home_after_handing_out_shock_jokes_for_assignment.html ) has been dismissed. Jones was put on “home assignment” after parents complained he had distributed a handout filled with jokes about blondes, sexual violence and dead babies. Trustee Maria Rodrigues, who oversees Oakwood, said Wednesday she “fully supports the decision made by the board of trustees tonight to terminate Jeff Jones.” “I am beyond disappointed that this occurred at Oakwood and that students were subjected to this inappropriate behaviour,” she said. ... The Star reported Jones handed out 100 jokes to his grades 9 and 10 students in early January and asked them to develop a comedy skit based on five jokes on the list. Some parents were outraged by the assignment and complained; others thought the incident was blown out of proportion. Ben Kutsyuruba, an expert in ethical and legal issues in the classroom at Queen's University, said the jokes were “very explicitly inappropriate” and breached the ethical standards enforced by the Ontario College of Teachers. Reaction to Jones' dismissal was swift, with some former students and parents suggesting it was a loss to the school and education system. “I think it's terrible,” former student Samuel van Schaik Muir told the Star. The 23-year-old professional actor credited Jones with steering him into his chosen career. “I just graduated from an acting program at the University of Windsor . . . and it was Mr. Jones himself who encouraged me to do it. “He was a great drama teacher. Yes, of course his methods were controversial. But he had nothing but the utmost respect for his students.” Parent Helena Soukup, whose daughter took civics and drama with Jones, was shocked. “There has been a witch hunt to take him down for whatever reason,” she said. “He's one of the top two teachers my daughter has ever had. He's a phenomenal human being.” Jones taught at Oakwood for eight years. Many of his students credit him with helping them win honours at the Sears Ontario Drama Festival for three years in a row." The Star didn't publish any of the jokes, thus making it difficult for their readers to judge what the controversy was all about. Jeff Jones grieved his firing, as the Toronto Star (March 7, 2013)reported: " he Oakwood Collegiate Institute drama teacher fired for handing out violent or sexually graphic jokes about blondes and dead babies as homework isn’t leaving quietly. Jeff Jones, who was dismissed by the Toronto District School Board on Wednesday evening ( http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/03/06/oakwood_collegiate_teacher_fired_over_jokes.html ), will be lodging a grievance and already has a group of past and present students clamouring for his reinstatement ( http://www.thestar.com/yourtoronto/education/2013/03/01/students_rush_to_support_drama_teacher_sent_home_for_inappropriate_jokes.html ). “He’s the best teacher I’ve ever had, hands down,” said Kyra Soukup, a 16-year-old Grade 11 student who was in Jones’ class this year. “The fact that he could get fired over something like this is ridiculous.” A 2011 Star investigation showed that some teachers found to have committed sexual misconduct weren’t fired but transferred to other schools in a practice referred to as “passing the trash.” The Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation confirmed that it would be filing a grievance with the board over Jones’ firing. “We’re going to argue that it’s excessive,” said Doug Jolliffe, president of OSSTF District 12, which is representing Jones. If the grievance is turned down, the union can take the school board to labour arbitration, he said. ... Jones was sent home with pay in January ( http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/03/01/teacher_sent_home_after_handing_out_shock_jokes_for_assignment.html ), after a parent complained about seven pages of sexist and violent jokes she found in her child’s backpack. The decision to fire Jones was announced at Oakwood Thursday by principal Ellen Austrom. Students have launched a petition on Change.org, called Keep Mr Jones at Oakwood ( http://www.change.org/petitions/keep-mr-jones-at-oakwood?utm_campaign=share_button_mobile&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition ), which had 172 signatures as of Thursday evening. Several students told the Star that the offending assignment had been around for years and that the administration was aware of it but did nothing until they received the parent’s complaint.

"Hate" Brawl Charges Collapsing in Edmonton -- the Tyranny of "Hate" Squads

Cities with "hate squads" lovingly tote up statistics of "hate crimes." Actually, virtually none of these reported "crimes" ends up in court and, thus, the statistics really don't record crimes proven, but usually overblown accusations. In fact, most of the crimes turn out to be nothing more than graffiti -- "Book him, Danno, two counts of magic marker crime!" Hate squads have to do something to justify their existence, there not really being many true "hate crimes" around. That makes them dangerous as they tend to persecute right-leaning dissidents. They are the thought police of political correctness. An incident last year is an outrageous case in point. On March 24, there was a White Pride march in Edmonton. Anti-racists tried to provoke a clash but police kept the two sides apart. So far, so good. We strongly suspect that Blood and Honour leader, Kyle McKee was under police surveillance. Later that evening, there was an altercation outside a liquor store. The defence has argued all along that Phillip Badrock was assaulted by several East Indians. Two other lads, including Kyle McKee, came to his rescue. The three Whites were arrested and charged. The press had a field day, with much hyperventilating about "hate" and a "racial attack." The "right-wing" but ultra-Zionist Edmonton Sun (April 17, 2012) led the charge thus under the headline White supremacists arrested over Edmonton racial attack: "Two members and one associate of a white supremacist group have been arrested after a brutal racially-motivated attack in Mill Woods, says the city police hate crimes unit. Two members of the group, Blood and Honour, and two associates, approached a man inside the Liquor Depot around 11:30 p.m. on March 24, making derogatory comments and racial slurs. The altercation ended but started again outside the store. That’s when things turned ugly. Const. Alex Thomas of the city police hate crimes unit says the victim received bite marks to his hand, and was stabbed in the shoulder with a piece of broken glass after a bottle was smashed over his head. It was one of the most severe attacks Thomas has seen. “It’s nothing that he could have changed. He couldn’t have said anything different, he was just being himself,” said Thomas, noting the man was there with two other friends, one of whom was also assaulted, but his injuries weren’t as severe. ... “It was a traumatic event for everybody in the sense they were also dumbfounded as to how did this guy bring this upon himself. He really didn’t.” Charged in connection with the attack are Kyle McKee, 26, of Calgary, Bernard Miller, 20, and Philip Badrock, 44, of St. Albert. Both Miller and Badrock are charged with assault causing bodily harm. Police said all three are confirmed to be involved with the white supremacist group Blood and Honour. Following the arrests, a hate crimes investigator was sent to Calgary to execute search warrants at McKee’s residence. The search resulted in the seizure of numerous weapons, including shotguns, rifles, ammunition, knives and machetes. McKee is charged with 15 weapons-related offences in addition to two assault-related charges." Const. Alex Thomas, an East Indian on the hate squad told the CBC (April 17, 2012) "Police will recommend to the judge the assault be treated more severely, because the motivation was hate, said Thomas.'We believe it's a hate crime and we will be providing evidence to support that,' said Thomas.'These guys are cowards,' he said. 'These guys will attack a person two on one, three on one, four on one.''It's basically because of their hate towards them. It's nothing the victim has done.'" Miller and Badrock were released on bail. They have spent a fortune on legal costs. Kyle McKee a charismatic young leader was warehoused on remand for 13 months. So, now, despite all the trial in the media and the sturm und drang about "hate", the case is collapsing. Much to the chagrin of the "anti-racists" (they're really anti-White) at Anti-Racist Canada Blotspot or is it BlogSpot, Kyle McKee was released yesterday for time served (13 months) for possession at his Calgary home of a legal shotgun -- denied to him because of a prohibition. And the charges stemming from the "most severe", "brutally racially-motivated" and "cowardly" attack, as described by hate squaddy Thomas?

Kyle Robert McKee, 27, pleaded guilty to possession of a prohibited weapon. When officers searched his rental home for the clothing, they found a 12-gauge shotgun and shells in his desk drawers. Finlayson said the shotgun’s barrel was sawed off, but not to the point where it would be considered an illegal weapon. Due to assault and weapons convictions dating to 2006, McKee was under four court orders not to possess guns. ‘There’s no evidence of him threatening anyone with the firearm or using it in anyway,’ Finlayson said. ‘He would have known he’s not to have any firearms or ammunition in his possession.’ Defence layer Naeem Rauf said his client did not own the shotgun, but admitted it was in his possession. After serving 13 months in custody since his arrest, McKee no longer has any time left to serve of his sentence and was expected to be released shortly from the Edmonton Remand Centre… .

A LITTLE COMMUNITY CONTROVERSY? NO, NOT IN THESE MEAN, POLITICALLY CORRECT TIMES. THE REAL ESTATE AGENT IS FIRED. THE RE/MAX GIANT HIS FORMER EMPLOYER IS RUNNING SCARED AND TAKES OUT A HUGE, GROVELLING AD "TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE INAPPROPRIATE COMMUNICATION." [THERE'S THAT VAGUE CATCH-ALL, POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM.] "RE/MAX DOES NOT TOLERATE ANY FORM OF DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOUR." (MISSISSAUGA NEWS, MAY 8, 2013)THE AGENT IN QUESTION EXPRESSED AN OPINION IN A FLYER DISTRIBUTED TO ADVERTISE HIS SERVICES. THE ONLY "DISCRIMINATORY BEHAVIOUR" WAS RE/MAX'S FIRING OF THIS MAN. The Mississauga News (May 8, 2013) reported: " A City Centre real estate agent has been fired for distributing a controversial flyer to residents in Lorne Park and Port Credit earlier this week. RE/MAX Realty One sales agent Andrew Ciastek was let go this afternoon in the wake of publishing what many residents view as homophobic material in a recent newsletter. On Wednesday, the Sussex Centre realtor said he will issue a formal apology and make a donation to a local charity of RE/MAX's choosing. 'We cannot and will not tolerate any form of discriminatory behaviour,' said Christine Martysiewicz, director of internal and public relations for RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. ... The piece in question was a research study saying that unemployment is three times higher among offspring of homosexual couples than those of heterosexual couples. The study was conducted by Mark Regnerus, a Texas University sociology professor. The flyer cites the report as having been originally published in Social Research Science, although Ciastek says he found it in a copy of Polish . Busybody Complainer and Former Schoolteacher Jon McDonald cost a man his job. RE/MAX has been working with Peel Regional Police's Hate Crime Division and has been informed that no charges will be laid against Ciastek. Lorne Park resident Jon McDonald contacted The News when he saw the flyer Tuesday and filed complaints with RE/MAX, Peel 'It's just not right,' said McDonald, a retired elementary school teacher said." The Toronto Star (May 2, 2013) reported: "Andrew Ciastek, a sales representative for RE/MAX, distributed the flyers — which said 'traditional family is the best for the future of the kids' — to hundreds of homes in the Port Credit and Lorne Park neighbourhoods. 'I didn’t want to offend anybody . . . I didn’t have bad intentions,' Ciastek said. Ciastek also told the Star he will apologize 'because I understand some people were very hurt. It is the right thing to apologize.'” Of course, intent means nothing to the politically correct. Only the words matter. A privileged minority "might" be offended. Mr. Ciastek should not have offered to apologize, unless he really didn't believe what he'd written. Why should he apologize for his views. Notice, as well, that it's not the science cited by Mr. Ciastek that RE/MAX criticizes, only that he said anything critical of a privileged minority. Truth does not matter. We have warned that the promoters of the homosexual agenda are one of the biggest threats to free speech in Canada. Christians and people of all faiths who uphold the traditional view of the family beware. The homosexual agenda of silencing critics has claimed another victim: Marc Lemire, Bill Whatcott and now Andrew Ciastek.
