De-Normalizing Granic Allen, PC Mississauga-Centre

Granic Allen is a social conservative who ran for the Ontario Provincial PC leadership earlier this spring.  When she was knocked out of the running, she moved to Doug Ford, who won the contest.  She was nominated as the PC candidate for Mississauga Centre, and was removed by Ford earlier this week because she announced her disgust that the Ontario sex education curriculum allegedly taught anal sex in the second grade.

On the same editorial page was the column of Dr. Latham Hunter, a reliable progressive.  She explained why she home schooled her children and expressed how frustrating it was that she could not protect them as she hoped. 

RE: Ford is a pragmatist first

RE: Porn is brain-training a generation of boys

The Spectator expressed its editorial pleasure that Ontario PC leader Doug Ford removed Granic Allen as the party’s candidate for Mississauga-Centre.  Allen is vocally anti-progressive, and the straw the broke the camel’s back was Allen’s claim that anal sex is taught in grade 2.  In fact, that matter is raised in grade 7 (pg 196 Health and Physical Education 2015-revised).

What is taught in grade 2 is gender identity theory and the concept of “birth assigned sex.”

Allen’s formal de-normalization came about from an error on a technical point, and the Spectator was pleased.

However, Dr. Latham Hunter in the very same editorial section, expressed views not dissimilar to those held by Granic Allen. (Porn is brain-training a generation of boys.).  Dr. Hunter explains that one of the reasons she home-schools her children is to prevent their exposure to corrupting influences in Ontario public schools, such as the discovery of pornography.

Is the Spectator going to be consistent and de-normalize Dr. Hunter and banish her column from its pages?  Or is Hunter okay because she is generally progressive in view and her crank opinions are ineffective, whereas Allen’s are anti-progressive and dangerously effective?

Is there significance to the fact that women and mothers want to protect their children from corrupting influences, and regard non-reproductive sexual practices as wrong?  I think there is something deep inside mothers that tell them that free sex is wrong., and we should listen to them.  To hell with progressivist ideas.
