Paint Drying, rated U, is a 2016 film that was produced, directed, and shot by Charlie Shackleton, to protest film censorship in the UK and the cost to independent filmmakers. The film contains 10 hours & 7 minutes of white paint drying on a brick wall, forcing the BBFC to watch all ten hours to give the film an age rating classification. He initially shot 14 hours of 4K footage and opened a Kickstarter to pay the BBFC's per-minute rate for as long as possible. It raised £5,936 from 686 backers.

I am a parent. I stand for human rights.

My children are more important to me than myself. "Parental rights" are for assholes.

@raphaelmorgan
Actually, these rights are considered "The Rights of the Child" and are included in the UN Charter on the rights of the child.

The movement for "parental rights" is literally for some parents to be able to override the rights of the child (aka human rights) that they don't agree with.

That's why it's important to lead with support for human rights (child or not) in order to understand how "parental rights", as a movement, differs and goes against those rights.

@kkarhan @raphaelmorgan Yes!

And this is a further example of how US right-wing politics have infiltrated Canada. Canadian Conservatives get all their news from US rage machines like Fox News and Infowars, and they talk about their "Constitutional Rights" such as free speech under the "second amendment", which we don't have in Canada. Particularly during the Freedom Convoy.

Parental Rights are their new "Right to Bear Arms".

Just like workers...

Sorry, what are we protecting children from in Alberta, and protesting against today? Understanding that some people might not identify the same as others? That's what's on the agenda to protect the children, by the same people?

"The former headmaster of an Alberta boy’s school was led away to begin a prison sentence for sexually abusing a student (30 years ago), more than two years after he was originally found guilty of the crime."

I shouldn't have to say this, but singling out one group of children with hatred, ignorance, and intolerance does not make any children safe. Not in any way, shape, or form; no matter how you spin it.

"I keep seeing folks saying that a trans lifestyle is being shoved down their throat. I have never had a trans person knock on my door and try to convert me. I have never had a trans person leave lit on my car. I’ve never had a trans person threaten me with fireif Idon’t agree." - Jess Piper

It's Palestine.

Child rights are human rights.
