When its good ole fashioned home and heat stuff presented by the conservative
element all is right with the world though. I think children should be exposed to
both the right and the left and they should learn how to stand up for their rights.
I always told my kids teacher, preacher, cops and all those in authority get
respect by earning it. That include politicians. I never demanded that my kids
automatically respect any authority. There were only two occasions where that
became a problem. Most teachers, preachers, cops and others do pretty well in
society and deserve the respect they earn.
Teaching children in a vacuum is just silly, they should be part of the environmental
issues. They should be able to take part in educational protests on things that affect
them. This is how we get young people involved in the system of society, by being
involved. In our family you could have your opinion and believe anything you want
as long as you had some information that to base that position on.
All this what are we teaching our children is nonsense, They should be learning how
to learn, that usually means they will learn things we as parents don't always agree with.
That's life..

a "social conscience", whether left right or middle, is NOT a teachers job to teach. They should stay the fu ck out of a parents purview. I'm getting sick and tired of those useless twats sticking their noses into stuff they should stay the hell out of.

Seems to me that the boys and girls at Sun News are contradicting themselves. The Sun was all for private and charter schools, but when someone sets up a couple of them they get upset. Maybe the Sun will find more merit in the public system from now on. Oh, I get it. The Sun was only in favour of private schools with a strong right wing curriculum.

That would make a whole lot of sense, if they were talking about private or charter schools.

But since the school in the article, like the schools in a few other articles on a similar bent, have been public schools.

It doesn't.

Sounds like an exxxxxcellent idea. :lol:


This blog had a great reader response to putting the 'cult' back in multiculturalism:


We Could Give Them Separate Entrances!



Their own drinking fountains! And special seats on buses!
A reader writes;
I was at the Toronto District School Board "Futures" conference on Equity the last 2 days and it was every bit as frightening as you would imagine. 300 teachers gave race huckster Tim Wise a standing ovation after he concluded his idiotic rant (via Skype because his flight was fogged in) about how al the ills in the education system are caused by "white privilege" and we need to focus on and accommodate non-whites the way we do disabled people.

Update - The Toronto District School Board is putting the "cult" back in multiculturalism

I don't think those that mistook the school in the OP for a private school, or those that ridiculously and ironically knock the Sun because they're own silly ideology is opposed to the editorial boards silly ideology, are stupid.

Close, but stupid is just harsh.
