Another sport bows down to the political correctness gawd - Boys Hockey this time

Before they polish their power plays and develop their defensive strategies, minor hockey players in Ontario will be getting a pre-season chat about gender identity and gender expression next month.



The Ontario Hockey Federation, which oversees the majority of minor hockey in the province, said it has made it mandatory for its coaches to discuss the issues with players in an effort to make everyone feel welcome.



While hockey coaches in Canada already receive training on respect and gender inclusivity, the OHF said coaches in Ontario will now have to discuss issues such as preferred pronoun use and the importance of respecting an individual's confidentiality with their players as the season begins in mid-September.



"We simply want to make sure that everyone feels included in hockey and can participate in the game in a safe and comfortable environment," said McKee.



The move comes after the settlement of a case brought before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario in 2013 by Jesse Thompson, a transgender player who was 17 at the time.



He told the tribunal that he was outed when asked to use the dressing room that aligned with his birth gender _ female _ instead of the gender he identifies with. The settlement has led to new directives in the years since, with the pre-season chat being the latest.



As part of the new directive, the OHF said coaches have been provided with a checklist, prepared by LGBTQ advocacy group Egale Canada, of matters to discuss with their players and suggestions on how to best approach the topics.

That would seem like the solution, but what if the social engineers take over all kids sports? The kid doesn't get to play sports.

BS. No organisation, club, team or gathering has the right to overrule parental rights and responsibilities.



If parents started taking their kids out of these classes or teams the moment they start spewing their bullshit so that the harbingers of leftard dogma are talking to empty rooms, the sooner it stops.



Parents have rights...but fear being bullied by leftard bureacrats and community leaders.

I doubt many parents would do that because it would make their sons so unhappy of they couldn't play hockey.

They cannot stop kids participating because a parent exercises their RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY. They would leave themselves open to discrimination litigation.



It is remarkable to me that people think that they have no rights, and that they are subjugated by leftist propaganda.



This is not true.



You have the right to walk out of a room, and take your kids with you.

But, can a child still play hockey if a parent does that?

[Bricktop]

Of course!!!



No body, government or otherwise, can FORCE you to listen to political propaganda.



It is YOUR right and responsibility as a parent to decide what he or she is told by others.



If this organisation took it upon themselves to tell children god does not exist and they must worship the devil, would you allow that to happen?



They are YOUR children, and you must raise them as YOU see fit, not some hockey club.

That would be religious freedom which is guaranteed by our Charter of Rights.

So is your right to your own personal belief, as long as no other person is harmed.
