The obtuseness, offensiveness and danger of woke doctrine is growing on a daily basis. Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Trans and Gender Diverse Student Support Coordinator tweeted this message about Jesus on Good Friday:
Not very long ago, Sara Savoia would have been ridiculed, but the madness of the over-the-top purveyors of wokeness has become all too familiar.
Robes are worn by Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican priests, Hindu priests, Buddhist monks, and others. Savoia’s reasoning extends to insinuating that they are all “drag queens.” It is reckless for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to pay a wage to Savoia to spread what education advocate Cristina Bairos Fernandes accurately described as “mind-bending” disrespect. She is unfit to be around children.
Would anyone be willing to bet that Savoia would never have tweeted a similar message about Muhammad? Or about a revered figure from any other faith but Christianity? And that the school would have instantly fired her had she done so?
“Ottawa school board’s gender consultant ripped for Good Friday tweet calling Jesus a drag queen: ‘Disrespect,'” by Taylor Penley, Fox News, April 12, 2023:
A since-deleted tweet from an Ontario, Canada school board’s gender consultant garnered criticism on Good Friday when she posted a message stating that Jesus was a drag queen.
“Here’s a reminder that Jesus himself was a radical activist … and a drag queen. And also not white,” Sara Savoia, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Trans and Gender Diverse Student Support Coordinator, wrote in part, including a painted illustration of Jesus surrounded by several children.
The illustration itself showed Jesus wearing a white robe and contained the text: “Oh look, it’s a man in a dress telling stories to children.”
The tweet ended by wishing a Happy Easter to all who were celebrating.
Savoia, who uses she/they pronouns, according to her Twitter profile, manages the district’s affairs regarding gender identity, sexual orientation and other LGTBQ+ rights.
She deleted the tweet after a firestorm erupted and locked the account shortly after, prompting users to take their criticism elsewhere.
Chanel Pfahl, an Ottawa resident and education advocate, shared a screenshot to her own account where she captioned the image with, “Happy Easter everyone! And a reminder from OCDSB’s gender consultant:”
“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” one user weighed in.
Education advocate Cristina Bairos Fernandes wrote, “The disrespect is mind bending.”
“She’s trolling us right?” a third wrote. Others criticized the comment for insinuating all who wear traditional Middle Eastern attire are “drag queens,” ripping the remark as “out-of-touch.”….

501, Levi, …who would have worn them if they had been around during the First Century?
Thousands of mozlums across the planet wear robes…what this scum called a “dress” …Would she dare call them, one of them… from paksitan, or iran, etc….to their face, that they are “drag queens”? Would she even dare to post a remark about their fake prophet wearing “drag”?
Disrespect to One Who showed a perfect measure of respect to the men and women around Him, comes straight from the arch enemy of Jesus Christ.

Good point, Somehistory–I was thinking the same.

How about if we shorten that to ATTENTION HOUNDS ???

And another fake president did so much damage while putting his shoes on the desk in the oval office.
“An Obama-appointed federal judge ordered two Missouri teachers opposing a school district’s mandatory diversity training to shell out over $300,000 in legal fees.”
“The point of it is to chill speech. This is a First Amendment case in the first place where our clients were required to attest and affirm to ideas they just simply don’t believe in. They believe that America should be colorblind. They believe that they should not have to look at the color of the student’s skin, and that’s all that they were fighting for.”

wokes need to do one and that’s WAKE UP ! . LGBTQ+ happened in the Bible in Sodom and Gomorrah and we know what God had planned fro that place ; the same will happen again . The church is now being persuaded to accept LGBTQ+ as the norm in life ; IT IS NOT ! . To claim Jesus was transgender is a ploy to bring more into the church .However; do not confuse transgender with transfiguration . i have lost my faith in Christianity and the judeo christian faith ; only in the church and it’s heirarchy . SHAME ON THEM ! .As for the LGBTQ community to make this acceptable is brainwashing . I’m just waiting for them to persuade the Islamic community that Allah and Muhammed are also transgender and see what the reaction will be ,since Islam is such a peacful religon !???
John Allan says
A GENDER consultant, eh!?
Well, with a title like that, he/she/it needs to do SOMETHING to justify the undoubtedly waay-over-the-top salary!
And, whatever he/she/it comes up with, it’ll be over-the-top …
And under the belt!

She can’t actually believe this garbage which leads me to believe that she is just trying to get a rise out of us. Meanwhile, while opponents of this garbage are concentrating on the most ridiculous and outrageous stuff, lesser garbage sneaks in under the radar.
commonsense says
As John Allan, above, implies, the job of gender consultant smacks of absurdity. But perhaps this absurd job is held by a correspondingly absurd person, who actually believes the drivel she posts. In fact, I’m thinking that’s actually the case.
somehistory says
What about the person who hired her?
Rarely says
Have to laugh…it’s all just too incredulous.
commonsense says
Good point, somehistory!
somehistory says
It might be laughable, rarely, if not so serious and if not such a sickeningly slanderous lie.
Thank you, commonsense.
Rarely says
How else can one respond to something so blatantly ridiculous?

Maybe, maybe not.
It’s impossible to tell from this article.

Canada: On Good Friday, Ottawa school board’s gender consultant calls Jesus a drag queen
……………………………………..
Absolutely insane. The ignorance–or, more likely, mendacity–is stunning here. Jesus is not dressed in women’s clothing–men wore robes in many places for thousands of years, and this is still quite common in many places.
somehistory says
g,
The Bible, in the Law to the Jews, (Numbers 15) esp to the Tribe of Levi, who were to be priests and from which tribe the High Priest came, after Aaron, God told them how to dress. (Ex. 20:26; Ex. 28:42-43)
Since Jesus was not only a Jew, but the Highest Priest (“a King-Priest according to the manner of Melchizedek”) He would dress as the Law provided.

True, Somehistory.

She follows in the footsteps of the Canadian dictator who thinks Christians are the worst part of Canadian society………God is not mocked! Judgment awaits!
OLD GUY says
Why does anyone or organization need a Gender Consultant? There are only TWO choices by nature, everything else is made up.

OLD GUY says,
“Why does anyone or organization need a Gender Consultant?”
They don’t.
What they need is an appointment with a conservative psychiatrist.
Stephen Wilson says
Jesus is revered as a Prophet by Muslims.The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” held their annual Easter “Hunky Jesus” and “Foxy Mary ” contest in San Francisco to a record crowd of approximately 10,000 people. Even ABC News covered the story as a celebration of Easter. It was sexualizing The Crucifixion and the Resurrection.
gravenimage says
Stephen, do you know what the Muslim “Jesus”–really, the “prophet Isa”–is all about? His main role is to *kill Christians* in the last days. When Muslims say they “revere Jesus”. *that* is what they are talking about.
