The husband of a teacher called in to CFAX today, so say teachers are too busy teaching to be indoctrinating kids with ideology.

Thoughts?

The ideology is in the curriculum, so by definition “teaching” is indoctrinating.

Depends on the class and their level of awareness. My own experience with my son is that cooking, art, and English have no noticeable social engineering. Science has a lot.

Here's my problem, 20 something years ago kids started getting participation trophies at events

 

I've been seeing the attitude in workers today that they deserve something for just showing up to work, they can backtalk or yell and scream at their boss or whatever

 

Guess what, life doesn't work that way.  You might get turned down for a date, you might not get the job you applied for, you might get turned down for a mortgage.  There are no participation trophies in life, there are simply winners and losers.

 

Someone also told me schools can't even hold kids back a grade anymore.  I can see where the attitude of millennials all come from now - its taught in school

[dasmo]

So the social engineering is bad now but the residential schools were great?

No hold-backs up to 4th grade.  Which makes some sense to me.

It’s more than 4th grade.

It’s more than 4th grade.

 

Well, it is legislated to not occur under 4th grade, from 4-12 the principal makes the final decision, but it can be appealed by parents.

thankfully all lands around the CRD have been properly purchased with it recognized by the Supreme Court

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has once again repeated the false claim that Indigenous bodies have been discovered at the former sites of residential schools in Canada.

During an interview with Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy about his role in the film Small Things Like These, CBC’s Eli Glasner attempted to draw a parallel by propping up the false claim.

Glasner stated that Canada is “still finding the bodies of Indigenous children in the ground,” despite the fact that no remains have been discovered at any site, and the only excavations that have been done to prove that such exists have come up empty.

“I’ve read a lot about that in Canada,” Murphy responded.

Since releasing the interview, the CBC appears to have deleted that specific comment and response from their interview.

Graves Funds Paid Publicists

 

 

Millions paid to a British Columbia First Nation to recover suspected children’s graves at an Indian Residential School were instead budgeted for publicists and consultants, documents show. The Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations attempted to conceal the financial records under the Access To Information Act: “We are not seeking to intervene in this matter but are trying to understand.”

Media bias, credibility ratings.

 

RIGHT-CENTER BIAS

These media sources are slight to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation.

 

• Overall, we rate Blacklock’s Reporter as Right-Center biased for its critical focus on government, particularly Liberal policies, often using loaded language. It is rated Mostly Factual for generally reliable investigative work, though selective framing and limited ownership transparency reduce its factual rating.

[Victoria Watcher]

Why simply shoot the messenger? But what are the facts of the article? The headline says they have FOI documents.


“2+2=4”.

“Oh ya, according to Blacklocks maybe!”

Not shooting anyone. Headline says......... How accurate are most headlines? Pay wall required for more information.

 

On these two elements alone I would not automatically accept the article information headlines to be accurate on any topic and certainly not worth quoting or reposting.

Hmmm.

But it’s ok to quote an uncredited source creating the impression Blacklock’s is engaging in hyperbole and is not credible? Your source’s opinion, doesn’t make it fact.

Note: no mention here of media bias. The above comments stands alone as a reason not to repost.

 

Media Checking bias.......This is one that I often use and I would be interested in links to others.

Here is the article from the Toronto Sun. No paywal. https://www.msn.com/...ort/ar-AA1xXNQ4

 

What would be more useful than a "bias" is a link to the actual report. Bias is just the way it is. It's team sports.

^ Not a surprise, how many of the 25 consultants were related to member of the band council I wonder?

 

I would be surprised if more than 50% of the tens of billions of dollars paid to various FN bands was actually spent on anything that benefitted band members.

Or related to ministers in the agency. A lot of money doesn't actually go to members for projects said to be for FN. the Sidney dear kill is a good example of that. Even still, there is plenty of corruption in the FN politics as well. Money and power corrupts.  

Chief Clarence Louie touches on  that in his book. It's an interesting insider view of FN politics. https://www.amazon.c...s/dp/0771048335
