French-speaking schools in the Canadian province of Ontario removed almost 5,000 books and burned some of them in a “flame purification ceremony” to appease the local indigenous population, Radio Canada and the National Post reported.
A video prepared for students of some of the 30 schools on the subject said, “We bury the ashes of racism, discrimination and stereotypes in the hope that we will grow up in an inclusive country where all can live in prosperity and security.”
Lyne Cosette, a spokeswoman for the publicly funded francophone Catholic schools of Ontario, told the National Post newspaper, “Symbolically, some books were used as fertilizer,” as well.

Orwell was an optimist.
“ I am old enough to remember burning books was a sign of a sick society.”
Democrats do it figuratively and literally every day.
I see the Deutsche Studentenschaft is alive and well and prospering in Canada!

They’ve been eating too much ham and syrup, and drinking too much Molson Ice while riding Moose.
Ironic.
I also enjoyed Harrison Bergeron by Vonnegut.

“”The book-burning story took an unexpected twist on Wednesday, with Radio Canada reporting that (Suzy) Kies might have not had the aboriginal roots she claimed to have. While Kies claimed that one of her parents was of aboriginal origin and one of European origin, the outlet cited civil status records suggesting that her father was born in Luxembourg and her mother was French.
Dominique Ritchot, a genealogical researcher cited by Radio Canada, concluded the “knowledge keeper” had “no aboriginal ancestors for at least seven generations.””

Just another fake virtue signaling prog wagging a finger at normal people demanding “obedience.”

“wagging a finger at normal people demanding “obedience.””
I wish it was just wagging a finger. These detestable little nazis use clubs and guns to make you do what they want you to do.
