Just so the Americans are clear, you all know collective punishment is a war crime, right?

Geneva Convention is gone. It's Woke Rules now.

If you're white, you're automatically guilty. If you're male, you're automatically guilty. If you're a woman who thinks woman is defined by female biology... guilty!

"In retrospect, while well-intended, we recognise that this part of the assembly was inappropriate."

Has the concept of Original Sin EVER been well-intended?

Do they want Nazis? Because this is how you get Nazis.

I love how they don't realize it was wrong, they admit it was wrong. Which indicates that there was never any good intention. They just wanted to make every student know that males are apparently inherently wrong and guilty of every crime of every man ever

So-- will the administrators stand up in front of the boys and apologize to them?

Nope. But they should. They should apologise to the boys for humiliating them and emasculating them. And they should apologise to the girls for destroying their spaces.

I would have refused to apologize and would have made a fuss about it. Absolute bullshit.

Same here. And if I was a father of any of those boys, I would pull my son out of that school.

This makes me fucking angry. This is child abuse and that principal should resign. If I was a student in that school, I would refuse to apologise. Even if I would get expelled. Yes, some men are predators, that doesn’t mean you can punish a man or a boy just for being male. Shit like this might possibly be a contributing factor to gender dysphoria in males. Not to mention suicidal thoughts.

I am proud to be a man. And if anybody has a problem with that, they can go to hell for all I care.

Not like I was remotely a trouble-maker, but I was (and am) pretty defiant when it came to taking responsibility for things I didn't do or had a choice in; I wouldn't have stood up.
