Canadian Museum for Human Rights excluded LGBTQ2+ content on tours after requests from some schools

The CMHR confirmed with CTV News that John Young, the CEO and president of the museum, will not be seeking reappointment when his term ends on August 14.

Maureen Fitzhenry, the media relations manager for the museum, told CTV News this practice lasted for a period of about two years, from January 2015 when the museum began to accept school tours, to 2017 when staff was instructed not to facilitate requests to exclude content.

She added the museum has hired Laurelle Harris, a Winnipeg lawyer with expertise in Women's Studies, Black Studies and mediation, to perform an independent review of the complaints of racism and other forms of discrimination in the workplace. Fitzhenry said this report will be used to inform an external-led audit of the CMHR workplace practices and policies around diversity, respect, anti-racism, and non-discrimination.

Ya cause we don’t need our kids having their heads filled with that crap till they are old enough to make their own judgements!!

Absolutely the right decision

Giving customers what they ask for. Who figured

First the LGBTQ2. Then the brown people. Then the Jewish people. It’s 2020. To the racists and bigots and closeted folks: go away cause you’re boring. This museum was started by a strong Jewish woman. I’m surprised at this gailasper

Good

Some people chose to exercise their guaranteed right not to be exposed to indoctrination propaganda.

So what

LGBT propaganda must be banned. Big thanks to those schools!

Very good!

See that’s how the big brother’s of our society manipulate history/facts and mold it to their own convenience.

And this is a problem because...what I don't understand is why do the pictures of the guys have to be kissing? Or making out ?They never show that with a heterosexual couple 🤔

I guess only some human rights matter

They should have told the schools to educate themselves, before stepping inside the museum. How could they even accommodate this?! Human rights aren't supposed selective.

LGBTQ2+ ? Someone enlighten me on this one please?

Those 'certain guests and some schools' should provide chastity belts for the eyes and ears of their group or not go at all.

If there is something at a museum that is of zero interest to me, I usually skip that exhibit. To bad its not within your human rights to request that during a paid for tour at the human rights museum.

in a museum for human rights, thats kind of strange for it not to be there (as long as its accurate (we all know how absolutely nutters the current far left is)) i can see this being a thing in places like the civilisation museum and stuff like that however.
