    We’re from a “redneck” part of Ontario and we have a family friend who’s a principle. The principle said 99% of the kids get LGBT+, it’s about mutual respect and lifestyle. He says 80% of the parents don’t get it though…

      The generational divide for a lot of things has probably never been greater in human history, and given the current rate of change, that’s probably going to continue on for as long as we do at this point.

    It’s all the same group, all the same playbook: right wing Christian groups. Same ones behind anti abortion, etc.

      I recently heard the term “forced birther”

    I feel bad for the ignorance of people hating a group of other people for no reason.

    I’m angry at the politicians and influencers who are feeding all the disinformation to them.

    At the rally (and I use that term loosely) at my town yesterday there was the whole crew of the hard right religious type, the anti-vaxxers, the f Trudeau crew and a few other regular protestors.

    I wish we had school vouchers here. We somehow pay tons of cash per student and somehow have crap still falling apart.

      Stop running so many redundant school bureaucracies for one thing. Why do the Catholics need their own publicly-funded school boards?

      Vouchers are bullahit, just property fund public schools. For fucks sake…

        Lol, how much money do you think we should give the Public School system? Is the nearing on $400k per classroom not enough? Would it magically get better at $500k? We’ve done nothing but throw money at this problem with zero results.

          Finland is the best example of the path forward we should be taking. A place where private schools practically don’t exist.

      “I wish the public would pay for my kid to go to private school”

      How about “No”.

        I mean, one would argue that the money is for a child’s education… why do you care where it gets spent? We’re currently in Ontario spending north of $12,500/per year per child and somehow that’s underfunded. A class of 30 kids is getting $375,000/year. With that we hire 1 teacher and if we’re lucky 2 EA’s which would equal maybe $200k of that $375,000… so I guess we just accept having $175,000/year in overhead per classroom.

          Then you should vote with your feet, and go to a private school that requires you to pay 100% out-of-pocket.

          The Parasite Class wants you to fight and argue in favour of school vouchers and private schools. It’s how they de-fund the entire system to force kids into religious indoctrination that promotes ignorance and bigotry. It’s the perfect Conservative Voter creation engine.

          I tend to agree, if you don’t like it you should be given a $5/year voucher to use at the private school of your choice.
