I tend to agree that education is a mess

I agree, although university admission requirements seem to be higher. The current problems aren't new. A university friend with an education degree, quit teaching as a career after just one year on the job because not offending the parents was the school's priority over learning and bad behaviour by some students. That was in 1983.

And now we have an assumed to be transgender terrorist who killed innocents, children and others.  😔

Why shouldn't a domestic terrorist  —  who attended a religious school as a child — also be transgender?

Domestic terrorists come in all varieties of gender, gender expression, and sexuality. That's America! 😰

But the most consistent feature of our domestic terrorists is their "race." The great majority are white. And an even greater majority are right-wing and anti-government/anti-authority.

No need to split hairs along denominational lines while this ominous movement gathers momentum. 

Abortion rights and same sex marriage are firmly planted in Canadian society and overall support remains high. The Catholic Church remains firmly against. It wasn't that many years ago that a girl in our local Catholic high school had a slur scratched in to the door of her school locker. She had no support from the school administration and when she asked the principal if the slur could be painted over, he told her, sorry, the policy was that locker painting was only done during the summer holiday.. still months away. This is the way he treated a LBGTQ teenage girl. It was part of a scheme by the local bishop to weed out LBGTQ students, staff and any sympathizers. The education department soon found a pointless desk job for the principal, but the Church promoted the bishop to a much bigger diocese. As for the locker, other students covered it with heart cut-outs and messages of support.

In Canada a young right wing white man who murdered three police officers hoping to spur a rebellion against Canada's "oppressive government" and a young white Quebec City man with "far-right, white nationalist, and anti-Muslim views" murdered six people in a mosque, were classed as criminal extremists by police. Two Muslim men who separately murdered two soldiers were classed as terrorists. All four seemed to be motivated by erratic behaviour mixed with "seething anger" and extreme beliefs, but government officials only seemed interested in labeling the Muslims as terrorists. They also used the murders of the solders "to expedite plans to boost security forces' surveillance, detention, and arrest powers."

Here is SNL's take on the subject of Michelangelo's David. This is actually fairly funny.
