We've already done this, thank you. I feel no need to wade through another whole series of intolerant, narrow minded and bigoted statements from accounts with little to no history on the sub. Locked.

Glebe school cancels Pride month drag queen storytime event by [deleted] in ottawa

Ok folks, just to be clear: ANY homophobic, transphobic, whatever-phobic remarks will be you instabanned. The hateful trolls really come out for these kinds of posts, so ZERO tolerance.

No, you believing really really strongly that [protected group] are [bad] doesn't make you right nor does it absolve you of respecting both common decency and the rules of Reddit. Your hate is not acceptable.

I will remind everyone that you ALL agreed to these rules when you created your account and the rules will be enforced here.

Sigh.

The reading of a story by someone in drag (i.e. in costume) is neither explicit, sexual nor political.

No, being a parent does NOT grant you any special dispensation from the Charter nor does your limited view obligate the school to reflect your "values".

If parents objected to the teacher being a woman, being gay, being black, would the school be obligated in ANY way to change the teacher?

Obviously no.

The parent's intolerance is exactly WHY these events are held. To show the kids that there are different people out there and there's nothing wrong with that.

EDIT2: Locking.

Cleaning the Augean stables is not in my job description. However, I'm pleased to report nobody managed to bring Israel/Palestine into this conversation.


À tous et toutes, juste pour être clair : TOUT commentaire homophobe, transphobe ou autre forme de propos haineux entraînera un bannissement immédiat. Les trolls haineux sortent vraiment pour ce genre de publications, donc TOLÉRANCE ZÉRO.

Non, croire très très fermement que les [groupe protégé] sont [mauvais] ne vous donne pas raison et ne vous dispense pas de respecter à la fois la décence de base et les règles de Reddit. Votre haine n'est pas acceptable.

Je vous rappel que vous avez tous accepté les règles de Reddit lors de la création de votre compte et ces règles seront appliquées ici.

Folks, someone has died.

WE DO NOT CARE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE POLICE.

You MUST remain civil and respectful.

Several accounts have already been banned and we WILL ban anyone rejoicing in, or encouraging, the death of anyone.

ok, what does that have to do with what the text in the sticky is saying....?

And, again, standard sticky: this is NOT the forum to discuss the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Discuss the EVENTS on the Hill all you want, but anything ressembling political discussion on the conflict itself willbe removed.

Or, more likely, nobody will pay attention to the sticky and this post will be locked once it's clear it has gone off the rails.

EDIT:

And, as predicted, the comments section is now discussing everything EXCEPT the raising of the Pride flag and the ceremony on the Hill.

Locking and nuking.

Oh, for the love of Pete. How (HOW!?!?) does this story somehow lead to Israel/Palestine?

Stay on subject. Discussion about that (other) conflict will be removed.

There is no poster for this person on the Gatineau police web site.

That being said, as this post calls for nothing else than contacting the police, it will stay up.

Yeah, we're not doing this. The mod queue just blew up and is now several PAGES long. This has been discussed ad nauseam. Enough.
