Philosopher Slammed For Claiming It’s Hard To Argue Why Controversial Teacher Should Not Be Allowed Near Kids
Daily Wire ^ | By Daily Wire News • Sep 21, 2022

A normally anti-woke professor faced backlash online Tuesday after urging people on social media to make a “good argument” as to why a male teacher in Canada who wears giant prosthetic breasts in the classroom should not be allowed to teach in a public school.

The teacher, who Fox News host Tucker Carlson has covered twice this week on his show, sparked outrage this week after students at Oakville Trafalgar High School in Ontario began posting images of the teacher on social media.

The school district has defended the manufacturing technology teacher, saying that they recognize “the rights of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to equitable treatment without discrimination based upon gender identity and gender expression.”

Philosopher Peter Boghossian tweeted out an image of the teacher and suggested that most people would have a “difficult” time making a “good argument” as to why the teacher should not be allowed to teach in the school.

“Most people have strong moral impulses about whether this individual should be allowed to teach their children in a public school, but very few can construct a good argument why or why not,” Boghossian tweeted. “It’s more difficult thank you think. Try it.”

Boghossian’s tweet instantly sparked widespread backlash, even though the intended purpose of his tweet was not to defend the teacher.

Notable responses included:

Calvin Robinson, political commentator: “Because he’s clearly a pervert, demonstrating narcissistic tendencies, forcing children to partake in his sexual fetish. It used to be okay to say we don’t want sexual deviants teaching children. Why is that no longer enough of an argument? Keep kinks out of the classroom.”

Helen Joyce, author: “This is fetish gear being worn in front of children. These prosthetics are about getting turned on at the idea of being a woman. The intention is sexual gratification.”

Mary Harrington, editor at UnHerd: “It’s inimical to the interests of women and children, to allow any male to behave like this. Nearly everyone sees this intuitively. If your definition of ‘good argument’ is hampering your ability to do so, the problem is your definition of ‘good argument.’”

Dana Loesch, radio host: “Try it in class with a giant prosthetic schlong.”

Mark Hemingway, writer: “It should be enough to say this person is mentally ill. But more specifically, this person gets sexual gratification from making others confront their own deviancy. That’s pathological, dangerous behavior.”

Mike Cernovich, political commentator: “Not really. This is a f***ing pervert – a complete deviant playing out a fetish with mannequin tits. If this [whatever pronoun] had a huge fake cock sticking out, no one would act like it’s so hard to draw lines.”

Jedediah Bila, Fox News: “If you’re confused at all about why this person shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a classroom, and are seeking further explanation or justification, then you have a serious issue of your own to deal with.”

Amber Athey, writer: “Most of the time a strong moral impulse is a good enough reason.”

Rebeccah Heinrichs, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow: “It is 0% hard. I can even tell you why in 2 words.”

Allie Beth Stuckey, political commentator: “It’s only hard to argue against this if you’re a morally relativistic classical liberal, if you’re a morally deranged leftist. For sane people: It’s wrong & inappropriate for men to dress like women, especially sexual charicatures of them. That should be against dress codes.” She added, “This also constitutes sexual harassment. This person’s hard drives should for sure be investigated.”

I wanna know why this freak hasn’t been stomped into a mudhole by an angry father.

This POS would disappear if he lived in my neighborhood.

Anybody want to place bets as to if/ how many times a day he yells “Stop Staring at my Boobs!” to students?

And will claim he is being objectified or sexually harassed and sue the school/ town?

I can imagine a normal young girl attending school in an outfit which might be a little bit risque — skirt too short, cleavage too revealing, whatever.

In such a case, a teacher might take the student aside and explain that her appearance was a distraction in the classroom and that more appropriate attire should be worn.

This sort of conversation is not unusual.

But just imagine this Canadian teacher trying to explain to a young girl that the young girl’s appearance was a distraction in the classroom.

This is nothing more than a misogynist making a mockery of women.

Exactly. I’ve been making similar statements for so long that I’ve lost track.

If we want to stop this shit, we need a righteous resurgence of ‘peer pressure’ and the rubber hose treatment. Antifa is the logical extreme of our lack of action and it will get worse.

But it’s not just this teacher: It’s those above ‘it’ who approve of it.

What would the Philosopher's reaction be to an Ultra-MAGA teacher?

Canada has turned into a perverted cesspool run by a kakistocracy of liberals.

It’s sexual harassment. Openly sexual displays should not be permitted in a workplace environment. This has been agreed and written into law pretty much everywhere in the Western world since like the 1970s or so.

There you go Mr. Philosopher it’s not that hard to make the argument.

We can then make an additional argument that this is sexual predation and grooming of children and that this person should be in a psych ward or a prison and not a classroom.

“Good argument” according to who?

The fact that this FREAK feels comfortable doing this in a classroom with students shows that the school board needs to be replaced immediately.

Even many people on the right have a difficult time speaking against sexual deviancy. Homosexuality? Seems most these days have no problem with it, but sexual immorality (of all kinds) is a big cultural negative. People—even on the right—say what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms is their business. Get a clue! This stuff never stays just in the bedroom. This weirdo is exactly where the slippery slope of “not my business” eventually leads.

BTW, I agree with the privacy of bedroom principle…in principle, but that’s where the line needs to be drawn. Keep your crap in private where it belongs!

There was a time when teachers were hired, it was expected that not only would they teach a given subject matter, but they themselves would be role models and reflect the constructive values of the community. When a bizarre, troubled person like that is hired by a community, it either truly reflects the values of that community, or its an overt effort to corrupt and indoctrinate susceptible, impressionable and very vulnerable adolescents.

As a woman and a lady, the only person I want seeing my nipples is my husband and my children when they were breastfeeding.

It is grossly unprofessional to be sporting fake books with dart nipples. It is an attempt to sexualize children.

I would tell this freak to their face that they are unfit to teach my child and demand that my child be removed from that classroom.

Where is the administrator/principal?

How is the freak even allowed in the door?

If a REAL FEMALE teacher had showed up for school in similar attire, nipples bursting out the seams, she would be reprimanded and told to go home and change clothes...................
