The controversial decision by teachers at a Quebec school to replace Mother’s Day events with a celebration of parents has caused ripples all the way to the provincial legislature, but supporters say such moves can benefit children.
The school service centre that oversees La Chanterelle school in Quebec City said the teachers made the decision — which was announced to parents by email — because several students in their classes don’t have a mother or father, while others are in foster homes.
“It is clear … that this initiative was motivated by the teachers’ benevolent intentions towards the students in their class,” the Centre de services scolaire de la Capitale said in a statement posted on social media. “But, clearly, their communication was clumsy and could have been misunderstood and misinterpreted, and we are sorry.”
The apology came after Quebec Conservative Leader Eric Duhaime this week shared on Twitter the email sent to La Chanterelle parents, asking Quebec Education Minister Bernard Drainville if he would allow “the woke to abolish Mother’s Day.”

“Honestly, I can’t believe I’m in front of you today to reiterate the importance of Mother’s Day and the importance of Father’s Day,” he told reporters

Mona Greenbaum, the executive director of the LGBT+ Family Coalition, said celebrating a Parent’s Day, instead of Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, doesn’t erase mothers or fathers; it just makes children who don’t come from traditional families more comfortable.
“All these teachers are trying to do, really, is to make schools more inclusive for kids from all types of families,” she said. “It’s not a political gesture. It’s a gesture of compassion, and inclusion.”
No one is stopping children from making cards for their mothers, she said, they’re just recognizing that other kinds of families exist.

So Canada has no mothers or fathers, no free speech, and will gladly have a doctor terminate your life.
Not the “nice” neighbor to the north that we once knew.
Mother’s Day will be abolished for being fascistic as pro-natalism will be equated with fascism.
Biological doners day?
“All these teachers are trying to do, really, is to make schools more inclusive for kids from all types of families,” she said. “It’s not a political gesture. It’s a gesture of compassion, and inclusion.”
I’m so effing sick of these people.

The real war on women! Feminists have been waging it for decades. The final battle lines are drawn.
One day about 50 years ago the media and institutions suddenly dropped Mrs.from the language, one day we woke up to find out that the wonderful word gay suddenly meant homosexual, I remember being puzzled until I realized they were describing actresses as actor on purpose and that actresses no longer existed, today they are disappearing mom.
A person from 1969 would have trouble understanding a lot of the language today and would be infuriated to have to press 1 for English.
Behind every Woke is a hiding Communist
So we are not allowed to do Mother’s Day because not everyone has a mother.
So then we cannot do Father’s Day either because not everyone has a father.
A generic Parent’s Day cannot work either because not everyone has parents.
This has some positive aspects. Mothers day was created by florists, candy manufactures and Hallmark. Feminists are for Mothers day. Take the sermons on Mothers day and compare it to the sermons on Fathers day. Mothers are worshiped in the sermons where the fathers are demonized.
This goes along with governments promoting one parent families, women as church leaders and having teachers being predominately women. Both boys and girls need a father figure as the prominent authority figure that is looked up to and seen as loving person with macho characteristics.
Violence would be reduced.
I’ll end my rant here.
A person doesn't have to be from 1969, anyone with half a brain knows the world has gone insane.
Amen.
These people, who conveniently have control over us, just mean well...
HAPPY BIRTHING PERSON’S DAY !
