Are we at peak woke or is there more to come? :

"Parents and male students were left 'mortified' after their school forced them to stand in assembly and apologise to their female classmates for sexual assaults committed by males.

Brauer College in the south-western Victorian town of Warrnambool held an assembly on Wednesday where boys were told to stand up in a symbolic gesture of apology to girls and women."

Firstly this story is from the Sun or the Daily Mail.

So is 100% blown out of all proportion, taken out of context and designed to enrage weak minded People.

Secondly. What has this got to do with people who stand up to racism (woke)?

Parents were "furious" and "outraged", Sky News Australia reported, adding that the boys' parents were not notified beforehand."

It's interesting to see how easy it is to rile the right wing.

Some kinds stand up in a school and you all think anyone whose not a racist is suddenly the biggest problem in society.

Your associating this with "woke" for some reason.

This character you post as is much weirder than the confused about brexit character. At least the brexit stuff you post is funny.

Unfortunately you can’t have the ‘confused about Brexit ‘ character without the ‘anti, anti racist ‘ character , they are intrinsically linked . Sad times

1. I don't want to discuss things as personal as that in public, so I'm not answering.

2. I'm able to read this news, think it's silly, recognise it's designed to enrage morons, and move on with life.

3. The only story here is, why is the OP trying to use this to attack people who are against racism. Personally I'm convinced it's a character he's invented to try to be funny on the forums.

I agree , but the Brexit confusion is caused in part by the anti, anti racist confusion .

The problem is, the Murdoch owned press has no interest in reporting what happened. They're just interested in clicks, and causing anger and confusion amongst weak minded people.

It's very effective.

I don’t need to explain as I have not called it woke. The boys were instructed in an open assembly to stand up and apologise for something they have not done (hopefully). I wouldn’t call it woke. I would call it misguided.

The woke culture represents a rather dangerous element of society. These are people who fail to recognise that only a very small section of society support the woke culture. We are increasing living in a society where people are frightened to express an opinion in case they are cancelled or lose their job.

Why are you suggesting that only the left wing are against racism and injustice?

But insulting isn't it.

Definitely, he's completely misunderstood what woke means, and gone off on one based on a outrage story designed to trigger people who are susceptible to such things.

I can't really adequately express how uninterested I am in your definition of Woke.

Woke includes collective guilt, if you do feel like addressing the issues.

"

From Sky:

"During a whole school assembly at Brauer College in Victoria, Australia, all male students were told to stand up, turn to a girl in their class and say sorry.

Parents were "furious" and "outraged", Sky News Australia reported, adding that the boys' parents were not notified beforehand.""

A few thing here.......

1) sky news Australia in not the same company that is sky news in the UK

2) sky news in the UK and the entire Sky European operation is owned by Comcast..... Sky news Australia is owned by the Murdochs...

3) Sky news Australia is basically the Australian version on Fox News in the US, it runs opinion programming.... it regularly gets in the likes of Katie Hopkins for views on stories

If they regularly get the likes of Hopkins in their shows how can they possibly be taken seriously.

Brauer College in the south-western Victorian town of Warrnambool held an assembly on Wednesday where boys were told to stand up in a symbolic gesture of apology to girls and women."

They you go. You see it as negative. It's just history. You should be able to talk about a piece of history, without having to include a non-related piece of history to balance an imaginary positive/negative set of scales.

Some of us don't blindly believe the Sun/Mail and other Murdock owned media.

Maybe you should consider a more radical approach. Try questioning the sources, try to find the full story prior to blaming people who aren't racist for all the ills in the world.

It could be "virtue signalling". Maybe this guy doesn't hate non-racists at all. It's all a ploy to make it look like he does.

100%

Those stories work. Morons get enraged, don't look for what actually happened. And before you know it you're posting on a swingers forum about how "woke" is the problem.

Doesn’t come as a shock to be honest we have police officers and sports starts kneeling so why not have males apologise for being born a man and if it was my son I’d want to know why the school made him do it would I be outraged nah but I’d like the school to explain why they did perhaps they thought it’s a way of highlighting the problem lady’s face from men but perhaps went about it the wrong way

These stories come up every day. There's 100s of them.

They're designed to wind up morons and distract people. It works. As demonstrated in this thread.

The story is very thin on facts, doesn't give any context and doesn't tell us very much at all about what happened.

Why would I waste my time researching it. 100 to 1 it's the same as the Rule Britannia being banned in Aberdeen Uni story.

it reminds me of when I was at junior school in the early 80s I was about 5 or 6 and our teacher sat us down and said we are getting a new pupil on Monday he’s from Africa and he looks different to us as 99% of our school was white we had a few Asians but no one from Africa and to be honest it was the first time I’d saw a black kid so the teacher said we must make him welcome and she explained a bit about his back ground and his culture perhaps the teacher was ahead of her time bearing in mind it was the 80s so on Monday this big flash 5 series BMW pulled up and out he got we all looked and said wow what’s does you’re dad do etc etc he was a doctor but we made him welcome and treat him like the rest of us he got the odd comment by kids and even the pe teacher who said referred to him as Dailey Thompson imagine that now but fair play to our teacher she made us aware of different people and cultures

I don't know. I don't care enough to look into it.yet your the one claiming it’s been blown out of all proportion tho so you don’t really know if it as or asnt then ?

If it is true then it was stupid of the school to make them apologise but do you think with everything going on in the world it is ‘big’ news? No its not but who is saying it is unless you think 1/2 dozen people on here amount to big news.

The OP , he started the thread so I am assuming he thinks it is important news, although it was from 2 days ago I doubt it very much just passing the time is my guess as there doesn't seem to be very much moaning threads lately.I was thinking of starting one about the court blocking the eu covid recovery fund but will just be accused of being obsessed with the eu.

Go for it, Brexit threads are more news worthy than anti , anti racist threads No mate, started a topical topic today only to be told i was the equivalent to Goebbels and spreading propaganda. I will wait until another doom and gloom post turns up just to keep the shutdown crew happy. "

The OP will start more of his brexit confusion threads soon. Don't worry.

Indeed.

I see brexit confusion based on misinformation.

You see people who challenge the misinformation and misconceptions as being negative people.

Fundamental difference.

Something being negative or positive is unrelated to how true it is.

"alert to injustice in society, especially racism.

"we need to stay angry, and stay woke"

Not exclusive to racism. Hope this helps yet again.

Thanks!

Are you as upset about people who are against injustice and racism as OP?I am if they mis use it like it seems in this case ,aren't you?

Definitely, he's completely misunderstood what woke means, and gone off on one based on a outrage story designed to trigger people who are susceptible to such things.

I can't really adequately express how uninterested I am in your definition of Woke.

Woke includes collective guilt, if you do feel like addressing the issues.

All I can see and read on here is gammon rage and confusion. It is sad to see

There it is again....

Definition from the Cambridge dictionary - a white man who is middle-aged (= from about 45 to 60 years old) and whose opinions are very right-wing (= supporting the political right):

Does the term gammon offend you ?

Does it matter whether it offends me or not?

You're the one who gets upset about people using woke (anti, anti racist) as a slur whilst you use gammon as a slur (racist). As I said, quite ironic really

Of course it matters if it offends you. I have had a look online, I can’t see any evidence that it is a racist term, maybe you can show me the opposite, I don’t want to be using racist terms on here

I gave you the Cambridge dictionary definition. How much evidence do you need? See the part where it describe a 'white man'. Not any colour or gender as you claim.

That doesn’t make it racist , do you know that snowflakes are white as well? I want evidence that people are offended by the term . "

Using slurs against someone's race (in this case, white men) isn't racist now?

As I've said, both left and right wing politicians seem to think it is.

I haven't at any point said I'm offended, it hasn't ben said to me, and if it had, it would be water off a ducks back.

I'm just a little confused as to you not taking a similar stance with this word as you do to others, namely 'woke'.

It isn’t racist, there is no evidence that states it is racist, you can use the word on all social media platforms. You are obviously getting a bit confused by the meaning and connotations around racist words and slurs. Gammon describes a person (unusually but not exclusively a middle aged white man) who goes pink when getting angry , usually about Brexit and the ‘left wing woke brigade ‘ . If you or anyone else is offended by the term then let me know and I will stop using it

Brauer College in the south-western Victorian town of Warrnambool held an assembly on Wednesday where boys were told to stand up in a symbolic gesture of apology to girls and women."

Firstly this story is from the Sun or the Daily Mail.

So is 100% blown out of all proportion, taken out of context and designed to enrage weak minded People.

Secondly. What has this got to do with people who stand up to racism (woke)?

BBC reported on it, its true.

Collective guilt is woke behaviour.

It's interesting to see how easy it is to rile the right wing.

Some kinds stand up in a school and you all think anyone whose not a racist is suddenly the biggest problem in society.

Your associating this with "woke" for some reason.

This character you post as is much weirder than the confused about brexit character. At least the brexit stuff you post is funny.You got any kids? if so would you be happy them made to stand up and apologise for being males?

1. I don't want to discuss things as personal as that in public, so I'm not answering.

2. I'm able to read this news, think it's silly, recognise it's designed to enrage morons, and move on with life.

3. The only story here is, why is the OP trying to use this to attack people who are against racism. Personally I'm convinced it's a character he's invented to try to be funny on the forums. Fair play but im not afraid to speak out and say that i would have been playing up if it was my boys being told to apologise to girls for what amounts to being a male. "

Totally agree ... I have 3 sons and I would of been fuming

"alert to injustice in society, especially racism.

"we need to stay angry, and stay woke"

Not exclusive to racism. Hope this helps yet again.

Thanks!

Are you as upset about people who are against injustice and racism as OP?I am if they mis use it like it seems in this case ,aren't you?

Definitely, he's completely misunderstood what woke means, and gone off on one based on a outrage story designed to trigger people who are susceptible to such things.

I can't really adequately express how uninterested I am in your definition of Woke.

Woke includes collective guilt, if you do feel like addressing the issues.

All I can see and read on here is gammon rage and confusion. It is sad to see

There it is again....

Definition from the Cambridge dictionary - a white man who is middle-aged (= from about 45 to 60 years old) and whose opinions are very right-wing (= supporting the political right):

Does the term gammon offend you ?

Does it matter whether it offends me or not?

You're the one who gets upset about people using woke (anti, anti racist) as a slur whilst you use gammon as a slur (racist). As I said, quite ironic really

Of course it matters if it offends you. I have had a look online, I can’t see any evidence that it is a racist term, maybe you can show me the opposite, I don’t want to be using racist terms on here

I gave you the Cambridge dictionary definition. How much evidence do you need? See the part where it describe a 'white man'. Not any colour or gender as you claim.

That doesn’t make it racist , do you know that snowflakes are white as well? I want evidence that people are offended by the term .

Using slurs against someone's race (in this case, white men) isn't racist now?

As I've said, both left and right wing politicians seem to think it is.

Show me the evidence that it is racist? Do you think it is racist? You must have your own opinion on the matter? Or are you getting offended on other people’s behalf?

Again, I've shown you the definition. It is a slur against a white (Caucasian) man, white (Caucasian) being an ethnicity (race).

Do I think it's racist? According to the definition, yes it is.

Why would I have an opinion that differs to the dictionary?

I haven't at any point said I'm offended, it hasn't ben said to me, and if it had, it would be water off a ducks back.

I'm just a little confused as to you not taking a similar stance with this word as you do to others, namely 'woke'.

It isn’t racist, there is no evidence that states it is racist, you can use the word on all social media platforms. You are obviously getting a bit confused by the meaning and connotations around racist words and slurs. Gammon describes a person (unusually but not exclusively a middle aged white man) who goes pink when getting angry , usually about Brexit and the ‘left wing woke brigade ‘ . If you or anyone else is offended by the term then let me know and I will stop using it

I'm not confused in the slightest about the meaning. I can clearly read the definition that is of the dictionary.

The only thing I'm confused about is your ability to choose when to accept definitions.

. If you or anyone else is offended by the term then let me know and I will stop using it "

Yes its offensive so stop using it.

While we are on offensive terms on the politics forum can we drop the use of the word “tard” tacked on the end of things.

I think the world has moved on since then.

Many thanks.

Firstly this story is from the Sun or the Daily Mail.

So is 100% blown out of all proportion, taken out of context and designed to enrage weak minded People.

Secondly. What has this got to do with people who stand up to racism (woke)?

BBC reported on it, its true.

Collective guilt is woke behaviour.

It's interesting to see how easy it is to rile the right wing.

Some kinds stand up in a school and you all think anyone whose not a racist is suddenly the biggest problem in society.

For some reason you are continually blind to equality. You suggest it exists, where it does not. Men & boys continue to see women & girls as objects and not equals. Sure it isn’t all men & boys, but denying the problem exists at a significant level across society is wrong. It needs to be recognised and resolved.

It's my lived experience along with my three daughters. I don't think boys are horrible - they learn sexist crap from society, as do girls, who I don't think are angel's at all.

“At the assembly we spoke about the difficult topic of derogatory and sexualised language and violence against women. the assembly also covered the idea of bystander action and how students have the power to play a role in stopping inappropriate behaviour,” principal Jane Boyle wrote.

As part of these discussions, the school’s boys were asked to stand, as a symbolic gesture, apologise for the behaviours of their gender that have hurt or offended girls and women.

“I’d like to assure you that this was conceived with the best of intentions. However, in retrospect we recognise that this was inappropriate.”

Yeah it sounds silly. But hardly the greatest threat to society.

It took me all of 30 seconds to get a direct quote, and from none of the outlets you dismiss. You could've found it yourself rather than dismissing without a counter.

This is part of the problem with these debates, too many people just ridicule and dismiss without any counter just because they don't like the source.

Completely agree. None of the outraged people had any interest in finding out what actually happened. Just more interested in being angry and blaming "woke", following the right wing agenda and not thinking for themselves about why this section of the media promotes these kind of stories, meanwhile completely ignore actual news.

not a massive threat to society? are we sure? dropping a crisp packet isnt a massive threat but by the time everyone is doing it the whole planet is drowning! it is the same principle... manners and politeness came about to help stop people just killing each other like barbarians.. yet on a tv show this morning people thought you were weird to say good day to a stranger.

Indeed. But I'm not outraged by it. So why would I go and find out the true story.

The only interesting point here is how easy it is to distract people from real news."

But you dismissed it as a non story and blown out of proportion,which has now been shown to be wrong, how about admitting you were wrong

"Stupid idea of the school to make people apologise for something they have not done just because of others. Should they make all Muslim children stand up and apologise for groups like Isis

Excellent.

Step 1: Anger and rage

Step 2: Bring Muslims into it.

Where is the step: Find out what actually happened?

Wrong im afraid

The real story is nothing like what was reported in the Mail/Sun/Australian Sky whatever-its-called.

So you now know the real story as you have now looked it up despite saying you weren't going to, are you saying that the boys were told to stand up as an act of acknowledgement of male treatment of women despite the head saying that's exactly what happened ?

That appears to be what happened.

It was silly. The teacher said it wasn't a good thing to have done.

It's a none story.

But alas the damage is done. This along with the "Rule Britannia banned" story that turned out to be bullshit. And that 1 million and 1 other such stories, have done their job. A large number of people think like the OP, that being "woke" is a bad thing and think this is a genuine problem in society.

When something real happens and people speak up about it. All these media outlets write it off as "woke culture" and their readership just nod along.

Which is more foolish, reading the story and nodding, or not wanting to read the story at all because it doesn’t fit your prejudices?

The best thing to do is believe all these stories, blame "woke" and ignore what's really going on in the world.

You dismiss the story due to the reporting source but say you won't look it up- classic fingers in ears. What you seem to disapprove of is it being reported at all. As it turns out the story is correct. Just because you do not like these inconvenient facts being reported does not make it a non story.
