School Board Cancels Event With ISIS Sex Slavery Survivor Over Fear of Offending Muslims – Opinion

If it’s not one thing with the left, it’s another. Liberals are destructive of everything they touch. In many cases, it is a terrible thing.

Whether it’s “moderate” liberals standing with the radical left in support of Marxist-derived critical race theory to the point of opposing the rights of parents to have a say in the education of their children, or canceling a book club event with a Nobel Prize winner who was forced into sexual slavery at age 14 after her parents were murdered by the brutal Islamist terrorist organization, ISIS — because the school board, in its infinite wisdom, didn’t want to… wait for it… foster Islamophobia, this is today’s virulent left.

And they don’t give a damn if you like it or not. This is the most egregious proof.

According to Washington Examiner’s report, Canada’s largest school board has banned students attending book clubs with Nadia Murad (a Nobel Peace Prize Winner who was kidnapped and forced into sex slave labor as a child), who wrote a book on the horrific, unimaginable horrors of rape, torture, and other such horrendous events.

The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity and My Fight against the Islamic State

Nadia Murad, who was raised in Kocho in north Iraq as a village of shepherds and farmers, was born in Kocho. As a Yazidi member, Nadia lived with her siblings and a peaceful life. Nadia had aspirations to open her own salon or become a historian. The end came for Nadia on August 15, 2014

Islamic State militants murdered the village’s inhabitants, executioning men who refuse to Islamize and women too old for sex slavery. Six of Nadia’s brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. Nadia was captured in Mosul, and she, together with other Yazidi girl, were forced to join the ISIS slave market.

Nadia was held hostage by militants, raped repeatedly and beat. She managed to escape the Mosul streets, but only narrowly, and found refuge in the home of Sunni Muslim families whose oldest son had to risk his life to bring her to safety.

This young, brave woman is so willing to share her story publicly, partly in order for the world to continue learning about Islamist extremism’s atrocities from someone who has experienced them first-hand. It is remarkable, right?

Imagine, then, the decision by a “progressive,” know-it-all school board to deny an opportunity for students to learn, first-hand, the reality of radical Islamism. Oh, wait — mustn’t offend “the Muslims.”

Information flash: Nadia is Muslim.

According to The Telegraph, Nadia had been scheduled to attend a book club with students of the Toronto District School Board on February 20, 2022 after Murad’s book was released. However, board superintendent Helen Fisher decided students would not be allowed to attend the event, citing concerns that Murad’s book would offend students and “foster Islamophobia.”

Helen, get on the bus.

“Offend other students”? What, how and who? Are we talking “offended by What happened to Nadia?,” or are we talking “offended by Nadia telling students about She was the one who made it happen.“? I’m gonna go with “B.”

Fisher’s ridiculous decision faced heavy backlash among students, parents, and the community as a whole. Liberals are often found intentionally swimming up the creek without paddling.

They lie.

The board issued a statement in which they said they wanted to “clarify” [ROFL emoji]Their position.

You can find it via Daily Mail

Before staff could have the opportunity to read and discuss the book with them, a different opinion was expressed to the Toronto District Schools Board. Students are not allowed to see the books unless they are regularly shared.

Sincere apologies [nonsense, this was a lay-up]We are grateful to Ms. Murad, who is a storyteller and whom students could learn much from.

Oh, please. As I’m wont to say in situations like this, what a It is a complete mess of garbage.

The person who “shared that opinion” with the organizer of the book club was no doubt Helen Fisher. And now these clowns say they didn’t have the opportunity to actually read the book — which the board admits is routine — so what do they do? “Apologize.” Nonsense. They were caught.

They learned surprising things, but not even CanadaThey were not (yet!) willing to tolerate this left-wing junk, or kowtow in submission to horrendous Islamist extremism. So they lied and backpedaled.

Period. The end of the story.
