Ethics in the service of bullies/narcissists:
Ethicists insist that you obey the narcissist or you are the bad person...
I saw this in my son's therapist, who told me that I was a bad mother and my son got the message that it was okay to be abusive to me. (no I didn't obey the therapist: I called the cops on him when he started to hit me).
Hmm.. wasn't the story of a narcissist manipulating his son to get a kidney one of the plots in the TV series Lost?
and then we have this discussion: Why are we pretending bullies be allowed to boss us around, under the threat we are evil if we don't go along with them?

............. you know things are bad when the main moral voice in the world is an agnostic professor from rural Canada, not the Pope. a lot of the trans agenda is more about denying biological gender and destroying the family, not about being charitable for gender confused people.
and now a newspaper actually published an opinion that Children should be taken from parents. Michael Barone comments on this LINK
But his argument misses the point: It denies the reality of biological evolution, where parents care for children because they gave them birth and because the sexual act that begets them is usually is associated with love.
But of course, anyone who knows history knows that this proposal actually echoes the communes in Russia and China.
the idea that schools, not parents, have the right to teach your children what they need to know to be sucessful in today's world has some good points, but in reality it can mean not easing their transition into society but in remaking the child according to the ideology of the state (or the elite who have infiltrated the teacher's unions and universities), not the parent. (This, by the way, is one reason that Catholics started their own School system in the 1840s: because they were being taught anti Catholicism in history and had Protestant bible reading in school).
But children in schools for 8 hours a day will also go home, and their parents can correct what they "learn"...this is not true if you remove them from the influence of their parents.
Indeed, it resembles the scandal of the residential schools for the Native Americans, who were taken from parents to reeducate them to fit into white society: and the removal of Muslim Uighar children from their parents in China today.
The main problem with political correctness/wokeness or what ever you may want to call it, is that it does not conform to reality.
