The ‘Save the Children Convoy’ is struggling as organizers accuse one another of being ‘undercover cops’ or planning ‘violence’ and ‘terrorism’
Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,”
Sounds like pizzagate
but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick
Anti-vaxx disinformation
and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools
Anti-education disinformation
and the trans agenda [and], gender dysphoria – all of these things.”
Anti-trans moral panic fueled by disinformation
he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”
Anti-LGBTQ moral panic fueled by disinformation
and the math agenda
Ah yes the tyranny of math
You know what really helps solve these imaginary issues? Blocking traffic in Canadian cities, inconveniencing random people, and committing acts of terrorism. Brilliant plan, fuckwits. If only they cared about real issues as much as their imaginary ones.
Oh and then there’s this gem:
The “Save the Children Convoy,” a spin-off of recent anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests targeting schools and drag storytime events as well as loosely inspired by the controversial film “Sound of Freedom,” is being planned for Toronto in late summer or early fall. …
This week, reports surfaced that one of the Sound of Freedom’s original funders had been arrested on child kidnapping charges in Missouri.“We have met the enemy and they are us.”
I can “understand” what they dislike about everything here except for … math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?
It’s those fuckin’ numbers, man! I keep trying to make them do what I say, but they keep responding rationally. I want 2+2 to equal 5, but they won’t fuckin’ listen!

My wife just got back from a literal math conference with fellow math researchers. I asked her what the math agenda is and she said snacks & coffee at 10am because everyone was tired from being up early to make it to the conference.
I’ll let you know if any other nefarious math-based plots are exposed.
Lol my daughter teaches math, I’ll find out what she knows and we can compare notes
I use it professionally and I hate it
What’s the 2SL part mean?
Had to google it. Evidently, 2-spirits, (native American tradition of non-binary.) The ever-lengthening acronym keeps growing…
Sexuality is complicated, so apparently is making an acronym that includes everything that’s not cis-straight lol
I thought everything else was supposed to be covered under the “Q,” but I guess it’s important to some groups that they have their own letter. So, that makes the long-form 2SLGBTQIA+ now? Ugh, that does not roll off the tongue.
I feel like the sooner society accepts that sexuality is complex the less letters will need to be added so people feel like they’re represented. I’m all for inclusion but I’d rather see a world where 2slgbtq+ is irrelevant and people are just free to be who they want to be, whatever letter that is
Pretty much. At this stage, I don’t want anyone to feel left out, but after a certain point, trying to define more points on the spectrum of human gender expression and sexuality gets into diminishing returns. Even with the traditional colours of the rainbow, where does blue end and indigo begin? The labels exist to make it easier for people to talk about things and describe the world around us. Unless there is some specific nuance someone is trying to capture, LGBTQ+ should get the point across with the Q and the +. Technically, I think you could get the point across in most use cases with something more succinct than that, but that seems to be what has been established.
Still, I can totally get that someone can feel left out being lumped into the +, so individual use will and should vary. I still rail against the inefficiencies of common language though. The concept is simple, people who aren’t in the big main hetero & cis sections of the spectrum.
So the message is entirely generic. I guess anyone with that message can join. Should we all just join the convoy in a bid to “save the children” from these people?
A lot of comments are rightfully laughing at these morons for their infighting and incompetence, but we need to stay vigilant as this is a rising fascist movement. Sure right now it’s not well organized and has loonies running the show, but eventually they may attract a very smart evil person into the ranks who could actually grow the movement to critical mass.

uuhm…what…?

“ DeSantis said state officials “got rid” of Common Core, a standardized teaching method rolled out in 2010. The method requires children to group numbers to solve arithmetic problems, rather than the vertical “carry the one” method familiar to most adults. The approach goes beyond simple computation to emphasize deeper mathematical concepts. The department said some of the rejected textbooks incorporated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and references to critical race theory – two frameworks or philosophies that some conservative groups claim are being used to indoctrinate students. Some schools around the country have recently used SEL strategies to help students cope with stress and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning defines SEL as a teaching framework aimed at helping “young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded into the framework.”
He learned they were teaching Arabic numerals and now he’s afraid of al gebra.
haha, wasn’t there a video where they asked people about teaching arabic numbers in school and they got really mad. what a great way to reveal your ignorance and xenophobia in one reaction.
