Even though there was never any cited complaint or concern expressed, the Toronto District School Board last October declared the word \u2018chief\u2019 as being an offensive term directed against aboriginal peoples.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe word ‘chief\u2019 is the world’s worst slur ever,” sarcastically jokes Danielle in this conversation with Robert Vaughan. After all, \u201cthe word means \u2018leader\u2019 – someone of honor – like the Commander in Chief of the United States!\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised that at a time when Donald Trump is Commander in Chief of the US military, that the term \u2018chief\u2019 should come under attack.<\/strong> It is precisely because it is meant as a term of honor and recognition, that the word is being expunged from the Toronto District School Board\u2019s lexicon of acceptable terms. <\/p>\n

One word at a time, the social engineers of the Left are destroying the essential principles of epistemology and the objective meaning of words and concepts. <\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a slow process calculated to erode our ability to think,” warns Danielle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It so doing, the steady drip of irrationality becomes the means of wearing down our ability to resist all of the chiefs at the Toronto District School Board and in government.<\/p>\n

There can no longer be any doubt that \u201cthe chief concern\u201d of those manipulating language through prohibition is to prevent objective and rational thought. After all, only in this way is it possible to prevent the possibility of thinking – or acting – in a way that is Just Right.<\/p>\n
