"How ‘Progressive Discipline’ Turned Ontario Schools into a Battleground"

I remember in the 60's when many countries excoriated the U.S. because of the many problems we faced and the way they were reported dealing with black crime. There was a very clear "better than thou" attitude by these countries and that included Canada. But since then many/most of these countries have eagerly embraced immigration both legal and illegal and now they have inherited the wind. You can almost see the understanding in their face as it dawns on them that these are people who cannot be civilized. Like the five stages of grief now they will go through the period where they will blame themselves and their own culture. Next it will be the stage where we just need to give them more free stuff. Good luck Canada on your journey from a civilized country known for your polite hard working educated citizens to Wakanda.

I have never heard an expert, a proponent of these polices or anyone who has said any of it will actually help stop AGW. They all admit that it cannot be stopped. AND they all go a step further and say that nothing that the west does will slow or reverse the continuing warming because China and India will continue to increase their pollutions by tens and even hundreds of times what the entire Western world has presently. So even if you believe the grift of AGW everyone agrees it cannot be reversed or stopped. So tell me again why we are going to starve millions to death and require everyone else to huddle in homes without heat!

"The average white family has much greater net worth than Black or Hispanic families"

I grew up poor. My mother and father worked and we kids would work around the house. As a child I collected newspapers and rags to sell to the "junkman" for 5 cents 100 lbs. I shoveled snow in the winter. When I was 13 I worked in a car wash. After high school I always had two jobs. I worked as a mechanic and as a machinist. I joined the military at 21 and discovered I enjoyed it enough to stay for 20 years. During those 20 years I got three associate degrees, two bachelors degrees and after I left the service I spent three years while working full time to get my masters degree. Those exact opportunities are open to any citizen. No special treatment, no white privilege, nothing but hard work.

It is pure bullshit to say that anyone, black, white, brown or other doesn't have plenty of opportunities in America. Do rich people have it better? I suppose so, ask Oprah she would know. Even Obama, a poor black man born in Kenya is a multimillionaire today. Although if you or I did what he did to become rich we would have gone to jail.

You can't look at someone else's wealth or good fortune and use that as an excuse to give up. It is 100% up to you to succeed or fail.

Obama himself said he was born in Kenya. He wrote that in his own book. His aunt was there at his birth and she proudly continued to proclaim that until he decided to run for president after which she mysteriously disappeared. This is all a fact and you are a denier.
