CBC abuses woman on “The Current”
From: ChristianGovernance eletter – November 23, 2012
At the top of the list of news links in the right-hand column is a link to a CBC report on home schooling. The initial interviews were standard fare. One should expect the host to express the state-ist, human rights perspective that she did. In this case, it wasn’t challenged as effectively as it could have been.
After the interviews, CBC attached a vicious skit against a woman. The woman was a home schooling mother. If she was any other kind of woman, CBC’s feminist siren would have gone off in seconds, and the entire company would have gone into lock-down pending an internal review. Listen to the skit. The mocking and contemptuous attitude of the son in the skit against his mother is vile. (The host notes that they didn’t have time to include the skit on the radio broadcast. One has to wonder how long they’ll keep it up on their podcast.)
The attitude of parental contempt advanced in the skit is far more serious than the mockery of home schooling. God promises judgment on those who dishonour their parents. Honour your father and your mother, so that your days may be long (Exodus 20:12). Even many Christians today have allowed themselves to become desensitized to the dishonour of parents and other superiors. DO NOT become desensitized to such dishonour. You risk falling under God’s judgment for it. If parents do not warn their children about how serious this sin is, they are not fulfilling one of their most important duties. Grandparents have a duty here too.
CBC has put themselves in a very bad position before God with the kind of militant contempt and vicious mockery of a home schooling mother in their skit. Is it a habit of men – and women – at the CBC to kick women in the teeth like this, or do they only treat home schooling women like this? Perhaps there should be an inquiry to see how they treat women in general at the CBC.
This skit demonstrates that CBC is pro-bullying? In the skit, the mother’s son is bullying his mother. He is twisting her words; he is exasperating her; he is manipulating her comments; he is badgering her; he is willfully disobeying her. This is bullying. You would think that, if CBC was pro-bullying, they would be more discrete about this conviction in light of the current political environment. But CBC’s too brash for that. Apparently they have a bold new vision for Canada. Maybe CBC now stands for Canadian Bullying Corporation!? Or maybe it’s only home schoolers who are bullied by the CBC. That would mean that CBC supports bullying and discrimination. Talk about cutting edge visionaries for a new humanist society!
Do men in Canada still stand up for women? Do Canadian men esteem women or do we throw them under the bus of idoelogical agendas? Do we defend them against the kind of abuse exhibited in this skit by CBC?
