We’re All Being Lied To About JK Rowling

The media has created a negative, toxic image of JK Rowling simply for defending women and women's sports. However, one teacher is going viral for his masterful dissection of Rowling's statements. Let's get into it.

I’m the teacher in the video. Thank you so much Brett! This is really fun to watch and honestly this feels even cooler than Elon’s tweet. I am a huge Daily Wire fan and I can’t wait to see your upcoming acting work. I will always be rooting for you guys.

The uber successful woman that it's become trendy to hate because she doesn't adhere to THE MESSAGE as it turns out has false claims being made against her. I'm stunned.

I'm 18 and homeschooled. As I got older and saw that people my age were not noticing things and thinking for themselves blew my mind! Growing up I was taught to think critically and answer my own questions. so honestly seeing this man say and do these things is such a breath of fresh air.

We need more teachers like this - teaching kids HOW to think, and less media teaching WHAT to think

If you’ve ever followed anything about JK Rowling or watched Geeks n Gamers or Nerdrotic or even Critical Drinker you’d know JK Rowling is actually rather woke and supportive of T+, she just doesn’t want women’s accomplishments to be overshadowed by men pretending to be women.

My favorite version of cancel culture is when someone, like JK, is cancelled and a bunch of people start saying that their work was always terrible so they never deserved their popularity to begin with. Mate, Harry Potter, while not without fault, remains one of the most fascinating worlds in all of middle grade to young adult fiction. JK wrote characters who felt like real people. Sure Harry had to deal with his magical destiny but he also had normal teenage boy problems. Awkward dates, frienship drama, and youthful alienation.

So basically, people think JK Rolling is transphobic because she said the words “sex is real” one time, then that was taken wildly out of context

I had dyslexia as a child, and was not very good at reading, but after extensive tutoring, which mostly focused on comprehension, instead of just reading fast, I now understand the value of understanding what you’re reading, rather just to read it

[RILDIGITAL]

It's refreshing to see people seek out the truth rather than accepting everything at face value. Critical thinking is a much-needed skill in today's information age.

My social studies teacher in high school, Mr Hayes, in 1975 used to question us constantly and make us justify our position. The main thing I remember was he told us “ my job isn’t to teach you what to think but how to think critically.” This has stuck with me and served me well throughout my life.

13:49 this! I’m actually reading Harry Potter to my 7 year old girls and sometimes struggle with all the questions. I am now going to take more time to stop and ask them what they think is going on and why with all the books we read. Thanks for sharing, being able to think critically is absolutely something I want to empower my kids with.

I remember being disgusted in all the actors and actresses that turned their back on J.K. instantly without hesitation when she had just created a beautiful life story for them….so easily persuaded to belong instead of making a stand for truth

Critical thinking is not taught and hasn't been taught for a while now. Most schools only teach the children how to take the tests. They are not taught how to come up with an adequate, well thought out answer. Gotta love this teacher.

[dabhidhm]

The student being questioned in this video is actually terrifying, he practically admits that Rowling's statement "could be considered transphobic" just because some people believe it to be so. The "This is my truth" solipsism/relativism is strong with this one. He seems happy to presume whatever a person with a strong opinion says, he himself is rather apathetic. This is how we get ruled by crazy people.

Her name is not synonymous with bigotry for me. She is a hero to me.

[EyesOfGehenna]

I remember a quote that we talked about in high school in the 80s (in the Netherlands) which goes something like this: "if fifty million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing". I think indeed that a lot of people don't have critical thinking skills and as such are dependent on what the majority in their own bias funnel say. That combination of a lack of critical thinking skills and the bias funneling by algorithms is a dangerous thing, perhaps the most dangerous thing of all.

Besides, people tend to feel that they're critical thinkers because they critisize things but critical thinking is about asking questions; the right questions at that. It's about doubt and wonder, not foregone conclusions or premade, borrowed judgments. As a critical thinker you need to allow yourself to be wrong and change your mind because you will do a lot of it.

Hats off to the kid being open enough to debate/chat with teacher

[CocktailsConsoles]

Hats off to that teacher for doing the job that kid's parents clearly failed to do

Thank you Brett. Perfect timing. My 10 year old daughter is a massive Harry Potter fan. She walked into me this morning and said "daddy, what is a biggot and why is JKRollin a transphobe"?
My 1st thought was 'oh no, here we go'😂
But then I clicked on you tube because I'd remembered seeing this video last night.
We sat and went through it, stopping now and then to discuss it.
She now understands what critical thinking is and that her hero is not what people are saying about her. As a parent, it's frustrating how the kids naturally pay more attention to social media than to their parents, but I knew I could use your video, as it's all factual and there's no swaring.
Your piece at the end about your mum stopping reading and discussing was great. Just what I needed to prove my point.
When the video was finished, my daughter said "wow, and now she is very intelligent with her own news channel"😂
You're an inspiration to all young women.
Thank you.

My comment to that video was “this was SOP when I was in school”. I graduated high school in 1983. Back then we were taught exactly this, how to think, not what to think. I had many conversations and debates with my teachers one-on-one after class. It was how I learned best and they understood and took that time. I HATED writing, I loved to read and could verbally talk about an interesting book for hours but just struggled putting it a “report”. If my written report was lacking, my teachers would take the time to sit and discuss the book and adjust my grade accordingly.
