It literaly took 4 hours for the moron to reverse himself.I can call him a moron.He’s MY premier.I send him letters that begin “dear Moron”…and end “you disgrace to the Catholic Faith”.
How very charitable.
Seems fair enough?? This is what happens when faith schools are funded in large by the taxpayers dollar.
Seems even fairer enough - no?
Go away,you’re always spoiling for a fight.Please do not address me again.Are you that unhappy in your own life that you have to pick fights here.?Take a good long hard critical look in the mirror and I repeat do not address me again.How very charitable.
By your logic, (you can insult the premier because he’s your premier) you would find it perfectly acceptable for a catholic to insult the pope, because he would be their pope!! I don’t think so !!!
Anyhow:
Seems fair enough?? This is what happens when faith schools are funded in large by the taxpayers dollar.

By your logic, then, every single program in the curriculum should be a matter of choice; that is, I should be able to opt my kids out of math if I don’t want them learning math. Obviously that is fundamentally illogical, and naturally not permitted, as Math is a fundamental part of education and instruction. A school cannot issue my child a diploma knowing they received no instruction in mathematics.
I will continue to address the points you make on this public forum for as long as I feel like it.
even if I did question the charitablness of publically delighting in calling a head of state a moron and highlighting the hypocracy of your position. That seemed like fair comment to me. If you dont want to read my reponses to your posts, dont read them, or put me on ignore and you wont see them. Dont presume to tell me who I will and wont address on a public forum.I defer to your greater knowledge of the canadian system. It just seemed reasonable to me that if parents had issues with matters of sex education that conflicted with their beliefs, they could withdraw their kids from that part of class.
Let’s see - you call a head of state a moron, you infer I have an unhappy life, you tell me to take a long hard look at myself in a mirror, you call me antogonistic because I have a different viewpoint to you, you call me nuisance, claim I always have a chip on my shoulder and you tell me Im now a near occasion of sin - but you dont want to be ‘‘juvenile’’
A few parents did. In practice this ostricizes the children of those parents. The child’s fellow students are left wondering what’s wrong with that child’s family, and begin imagining all kinds of bizzare scenarios (“maybe they’re like those JoHos or something? Hahahaha!” Etc.) The teachers are not prepared to instruct the students about the reasons for contention or opposition to the class itself, as that would naturally disturb the students, create doubts about the purpose of the instruction, etc.
Dear Soutane,
Fair point. That never occured to me.
The Ministry could man-handle or take over via standardization rules; that is, refuse to recognize certain diplomas and programs based on their own criteria. The damnation of non-recognition would suffice to prevent a school from gaining credibility and notoriety. The determination for recognition is a joint effort by established universities and the ministry itself. The parents would be forced to examine the educational content of private/non-recognized schools themselves and determine whether or not the curriculum is satisfactory, and then leverage the education gained with the weakness of their child potentially not receiving an officially recognized diploma. In this way the government can also control and determine the growth or professions or specializations by not recognizing programs that develop certain professions, making it more difficult to gain legitimacy in practice.
Done.Let’s see - you call a head of state a moron, you infer I have an unhappy life, you tell me to take a long hard look at myself in a mirror, you call me antogonistic because I have a different viewpoint to you, you call me nuisance, claim I always have a chip on my shoulder and you tell me Im now a near occasion of sin - but you dont want to be ‘‘juvenile’’
Dude - press the button - you know you want to
Have a great weekend

In Ontario, a person can choose which school board to send their school taxes to. When a person chooses to fund the Catholic school system, the tax dollars go to the Catholic (Seperate) School board.
I will bet money that if you two had bumped in to one another “on the street”, then you would have no problems getting along…
I have been playing with advocating a system wherein parents are granted the money to enroll their students into schools of their choice, with the money going to that school; for example, up to $9,000 per anum, covered by the Province. If a school charges a little more, parents can choose to pay the difference out of pocket and tax-free. That would empower parents to have more control over the content and quality of their child’s education, as opposed to the one-size fits all system we have now, and by-and-large encourage improved education by rewarding succesful schools.
That’s actually true.I will bet money that if you two had bumped in to one another “on the street”, then you would have no problems getting along…
