Who's voting for Covid actualized vaccine certificate to be linked to truckers driver's licence?
ReplyDeleteI do.
(along with a whole bunch of other trades and jobs, i.e. the whole population from this fucked planet!)
As a Canadian, I'm not happy of those 10% unvaccinated truckers to be able to paralise the economy of both our countries. Their selfishness made them forget that their actions are stopping good workers to continu to work and feed their family.
ReplyDeleteThe most imbeciles are the one in Ottawa (only 400 people) blocking the streets in front of the parliment and making life there for the residents a real hell.
It only takes one roten apple to spoil the whole basket.
For the USA's school issues, it's unbelievable in a country which sent men on the moon etc...
Again, biggots seems to be able to influence the advance of knowledge and are wanting to limit what to teach for their children.
Just in one subject, we here in Province of Quebec have a group name GRIS which is going in ALL schools to explain LGBTQ and educate them that you can have a «nornmal» life with who you really are. In my public high school where I was teaching were were 4 gay men and 3 lesbians.
Our director and our public school board had some rules to protect us against any gay bashing or else issues.
This was the same politic in the private high school I was teaching in for 17 years. (1984-2001).
I spent most of my schooling in private schools and colleges because that was my parent's choice, and they assumed it and occasionally had a right to say whenever they fit. I discovered a whole new world - the actual one - as from the 11th grade when I went to public school. At last public school was a match for the freedom of thinking I was battling for as a teen, the diversity of people that I missed around me as well as unnerving yet rewarding ideas to be shared.
ReplyDeleteNot a perfect world for sure, but still a widen one compared to the cocoon I had been raised within.
Matters such as religions, politics, colonialism and any other else? They all have their place in schools, as long as they can be taught and discussed solely through History based upon facts, definitively not upon the personal (mis)biliefs of self-righteous households.
And this does not make me a socialist, communist or anything’ist. Only a free thinker who has an acquired taste for whatever new piece of little knowlege I can get from here, there and everywhere. As a much wiser man than me once said "The more I learn, the more I know that I know nothing ».
What a perfect epitath on a tombstone (and a lovely oxymoron as well :-))
P.S.: Rick, I’m afraid this was the weekly "He did it. Again…"
LOL. I think AOC must be right. MTG is really, really stupid. Either that, or she's very good at deliberately getting attention. Either way, it's not a good look on an elected official.
ReplyDeleteJiEL - You are right about the bad apples spoiling the whole basket. As for education: Canada is certainly more advanced than here.
ReplyDeleteLaurent - First, I agree about the vaccine certificate being linked to a driver's license - for everyone! Private schooling and home-schooling don't prepare young people for the real world, as messed up as it can be.
@Whkattk,
ReplyDeleteWhen we saw Sarah Palin as the most stupid GOP figure well seems that the new RetrumpliconsQ have achieved a new most lowest or deepest stupidity with MTG and Matt Gaetz etc... How more low can they get?
They will soon reach the center of this planet of the most imbeciles.
For the private shcools, the one I was teaching in for 17years was held at first by Catholic Mariste brothers. It was for boys only first years I was there and was sports oriented so the students were also very sporty guys.
Also, science and history and facts were in the curriculum.
The one who was teaching Catholic faith was a gay open man, not a brother too.
Those were the best years of my 37 years teacher's career.
GAY-men... AOC! Spot on.
ReplyDeleteHome schooling CAN be good, IF the parents doing it are well-educated and want their kids to learn about more advanced things than the public schools might be able to do. OR, it can become an un-regulated mess that it tends to be in TX. A place where parents put their kids who can't behave, can't learn normally, or have some not-yet-diagnosed mental issues. Plusses and minuses, BUT the parents must be held accountable by the state as to how well the students perform, otherwise, we have "social issues" in later life that we ALL must deal with. I've seen kids who should be in school, in the middle of the day on their bikes, riding around, for example. Guess they are enjoying their "real life" home schooling?
ReplyDeleteAnon@5:45pm - Plusses and minuses, like you said.
ReplyDeleteYou can console yourself: there are no vaxes in Italy too. But I didn't think they were so numerous even in Canada. What leaves me dismayed is to see that those who do not get vaccinated think they are smart and instead are just a pathetic jerk.
