I stand by what I stated earlier. Learning about and celebrating other cultures should be taught by parents in their home, if they're really all that invested in it. The public school system is not the place for it. That time should be spent in teaching kids about critical thinking skills, how to read and write properly, history, mathematics, science, etc...... If immigrant parents want their kids to know about their culture and religion but don't have the time, inclination, or know-how to do it themselves, there are libraries and their churches/mosques/temples that can adequately teach them all about it.


Another just wow post
You either are an 18 year old pretending to be smart on the net or have already gotten Alzheimers

You do remember the fact that even public schools used to say the lords prayer every morning until immigrants complained about it?
This was only 25 years ago that EVERYONE was FORCED to listen to religious indoctrination in the PUBLIC school systems
So it comes off as quite laughable the keep our schools pure line

The separate (mostly Catholic) schools were originally set up because the public board was overwhelmingly Protestant. There was no official religion in the schools but Canada was very homogeneous that it was assumed you were either Protestant or Catholic. If you went to the public board you were assumed to be Protestant. Anyone who wasn't would just stay seated during the Lord's Pray like Jehovah's Witnesses do now during the national anthem. There's 1 Protestant board near Georgian Bay because that area was overwhelmingly Catholic and they wanted to give protection the Protestant minority. Today both boards are full of all kinds of religions, at least in Southern Ontario. I saw a van for the Peel Catholic schools. lt that had a picture of different students including a boy who was clearly Sikh because he was wearing a turban. The van read something along the lines of providing a valuable Catholic education...it was a bit of a head scratcher.

There were lots of groups who were against the Lord's Prayer in school back in the day especially atheists so it wasn't just "immigrants". I'm glad my kids aren't made to do any of that garbage now. The tinfoil hat wearing crackpot in the video seems to think they'll be forced to recite the Koran soon and girls will be made to wear a burka.

Not scared at all, son, and I'm not the type to be easily brainwashed or bamboozled by anyone or any media.

If you're not "scared" then, what are you worried about? What negative direction do you worry were heading in?

School is just as much about teaching kids the values of our society (inclusion, caring, compassion, etc) and building a united social fabric. If our kids weren't taught to understand each other we'd end up in isolated pockets of different religions and cultures...that would be a recipe for disaster and I think is the primary reason so many places in Europe (like France) are having so many problems.

You can spin it however you want, but the 2 court cases were by a Jew & a Muslim both of whom were immigrants

Can you imagine we had Muslims in our country all those years ago without all the fear we have today? Incomprehensible and nearly as funny as a Jew & Muslim working together, what is the world coming to lol

You (conveniently?) forgot the third parent who was an atheist and all of the interveners in the case including the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, many of which were not religious based. You can try and blame "Jews and Muslims" for it but the truth is the Charter said the schools boards were wrong for requiring it so it was therefore wrong. Thankfully society changes and evolves and despite what grumpy old people tend to say, it's usually for the better.

Name?
The news reports are quite clear on who the 3 people were (I suspect you misread the Muslim & non-believer to be 2 separate people)
1- Teacher
2- Jew
3- Muslim non believer

Philip Zylberberg & the Canadian Jewish Congress did most of the damage anyways
The others are merely footnotes who happened to be in same place at same time

The others did not come out until after case during appeal process
(CJC, B’nai Brith Canada and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association)

Was speaking with a close friend of the Boyne principal about this "issue" on Saturday. The stink that a very small number of people are making over this is hilariously ridiculous.

What about the report that this parent's mixed-race child has been repeatedly called "n*****" by other (Muslim) children, without anything done about it? Has that contact given you any more news, does the staff find this also hilarious? That sounds like one seriously compromised administrator to be off-gassing with his friends, and kowtowing to that school's Parent Council.

No, no, and kowtowing is best done under a full moon.

How exactly would the offended parent know what has/has not been done?

I missed the part with them hanging people from school walls for bad language

My original question still stands
Student 1 calls Student 2 a bad word
Parent 2 complains to school
School either punishes Student 1 or concludes there was no offence
The school still does not give details after the fact back to Parent 2 saying what punishment was handed down
It's not like a criminal conviction where we all see the student was sentenced to 20 hours of detention


*edit - Wait a second, are you implying you BELIEVE that Kevin Johnston video? The mother is a crack pot

Sounds like you are placing an excess of importance on this "news" source. Agreed, it's hack and amateurish, with all the trademark pong of Ezra Levant et al, but you have to know how to read these things, read through the source and see the issues. It should be noted that almost every source tends to bury the stuff they don't like. Do you really just read one news source? Really?.

My concern is this word being thrown around and nothing more than "noted" being said about it (see: https://docs.google.com/a/hdsb.ca/viewe ... ZjViMjhmZg). Done, buried, on to the next thing. It's called MIGA Management -- Make It Go Away -- the stock and trade of cowardly leadership. Three layers of Liberal government piled on top of this issue pretty much seals the deal too by the way, absolute masters of MIGA Management.

Reference this shit-show: https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=ch ... nto+star&*

A little bit of an imbalance maybe?

How do you figure?
Black student called N word, what do you want the instigator to be castrated so he can't reproduce?

Imbalance would be if black student then turned around and made some Islamaphobic statement and was punished
He didn't and wasn't

Since you talk about how you "read these things" the most telling thing to me about that entire joke of a video was the mother claiming her kids had no friends
That in and of itself should tell you they might be the cause of the issues
Coupled with the fact school people say "oh its her" and don't take her very seriously
