I wonder how long he's had this name in his head.

 

In a letter issued Tuesday, the school's principal Aaron Hobbs said the intention "was to foster a message of peace and remembrance, reflecting on the importance of unity and reconciliation," but that he has since become aware the song "caused significant distress to some members of our school community."

"For this, I would like to offer my apologies," he said.

The song title, when translated to English, roughly means "This Is Peace." Many comments on multiple Youtube videos of the song, speak of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the suffering of Palestinians, though the song itself makes no mention of the conflict in the Middle East.

"The inclusion of a song that could be seen as politically charged was not in line with the values of respect and unity that we strive to uphold at this school," wrote Hobbs

I don't know the song but this doesn't look good.

However, several human rights advocacy groups are now condemning the backlash, calling it anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab.

"Just because the language is Arabic?" asked Jamila Ewais, a researcher with the Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East's anti-racism program. "What if someone was singing this language, let's say this song or like a similar song in, I don't know German or Ukrainian language?"

Exactly.

He needs help with his mental health but it's not your place to ensure he gets it. This is a health hazard. You've already tried.

That's abysmal. Let's make it's extra hard where children are far more likely to be.

It might also be because they're gay. Or trans. Or a drag queen.

Ah fuck, you're right, I didn't consider that.

And what it taught me is that in the eyes of society at large I wasn't a real person until I was 21. It also taught me that society may PUNISH adults who try to treat people under 21 as though they're real human beings. You see, that's (not really) "GROOMING".

🚩

Grooming has a pretty widely understood meaning. If you believe you've been incorrectly accused of that please take a moment to reflect on why that might be.

Edit: it's been pointed out to me the "groomer" has be co-opted (cynically I'd say deliberately)

And now it all makes sense.

So even further from what the rest of us might see as liberal?

It's much better imo. I don't really block at all but I like to tag people so I know in the future when they come up to hold their comment with less weight

No.

There are two things this person was suggesting:

and

  1. have their uteruses removed at 30
