Based on what the mainstream media is reporting and the government’s data, many Canadians believe kids are superspreaders of COVID-19 and schools are hotbeds for the virus. But this is simply not the case.

‘Dig Deep’: Students At Catholic School Instructed To Describe How They Benefit From White Privilege
“How do you benefit from white privilege, and how have you held onto that benefit (despite knowing the harm it does)?” one question presented to 11th-graders in an ethics class at Loyola Academy, a Jesuit school, said, according to Fox News.
“What have you learned about the ways you have specifically wield[ed] this privilege that do harm (whether you intend to or not)?” the next question said, also instructing students not to “sugar coat” and to avoid describing the positive things they’ve done with their “privilege.”
Minnesota Proposes New Social Studies Standards That Call out ‘Whiteness, Christianity, and Capitalism’
Per the draft, The North Star State’s proposed program focuses on a “more inclusive approach to social studies education.”
With Children Fully Indoctrinated, Schools Have A New Target: Parents
It’s no longer a surprise to hear about public schools using their access to impressionable children to push divisive ideas about politics and race. But now it has escalated to a new level: using their taxpayer-funded budgets to shape the views of adults who live nearby.
Largest North Carolina school district tells teachers to ignore white parents’ concerns over critical race theory in curriculum
City Journal’s Christopher Rufo reports that the Wake County public school system, which operates in the state’s Raleigh area, recently held an equity training session that advised teachers on the inclusion of critical race theory in curricula. The unsubstantiated theory teaches that systemic racism is baked into the United States and the West in general, and calls for the dismantling of allegedly white supremacist structures.
The Return of the One-room School
And not only might it be in your own living room, but it could become an excellent pathway toward taking back our beloved Republic from the insidious forces which have lurched us to the left for decades.
There are compelling reasons for parents to yank their kids from the typical school, especially for those who love America and its founding values and principles: the rampant teaching that the United States is a racist and evil country and has been from its very beginnings, the precipitous decline in academic rigor and results which has increasingly plagued our schools for generations, and the evolving gender-dysphoric unisex-education courses with their abhorrent bathroom and locker-room policies which imperil female pupils in particular.
All this is the outcome of our public education system having been hijacked by the radical Left. (As an aside, when you see the term “public” school, think “government” school, with all its attendant implications and drawbacks.)
NDP promises to wipe out a lot of student debt as parties prepare for election

California Math Research Institute To Host ‘Math And Racial Justice’ Workshop
According to the organization’s website, the “Mathematics and Racial Justice” workshop will take place over two weeks beginning June 9. Thus far, the organization has announced four different seminars entitled, “Bias in Algorithms and Technology,” “Fair Division, Allocation, and Representation,” “Public Health Disparities,” and “Racial Inequities in Mathematics Education.”
Teacher Rips Woke School District for ‘Racist Insanity’
School districts across the country have adopted Marxist critical race theory, but few have done so to the degree of Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) in the Washington, D.C, suburbs of northern Virginia. LCPS adopted curriculum from the far-Left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and removed Dr. Seuss books from its library shelves in the name of combatting racism. LCPS recently instituted a plan to combat “systemic racism” that includes training for teachers.
PRAGER: Most American Schools Are Damaging Your Child
I have been telling parents for decades that sending a child to almost any college is playing Russian roulette with his or her values.
But it is a different version of Russian roulette. In the traditional version, only one of the gun’s six chambers contains a bullet. In the college version of Russian roulette, 5 of the 6 chambers contain a bullet. If your child attends almost any university in America (or Canada or anywhere else in the English-speaking world), the odds are that your child’s decency, intellectual acuity, faculty of reason, character and moral compass will be damaged, perhaps permanently.

A former senior civil servant alleged to have embezzled at least $11 million in COVID-19 relief money is now arguing the Ontario government is to blame for any losses it suffered.
In a statement of defence filed in Superior Court this week, Sanjay Madan blames the province for allegedly lax security measures that allowed “widespread misappropriation” of money intended to defray the cost of children learning at home.
Yes I included the ‘Ontario’s Corrupt Liberal Government’ tag and you know exactly why.
California’s Proposed “Ethnic Studies” Curriculum Urges Students to Chant to Aztec Deity of Human Sacrifice and Cannibalism – Calls For “Counter-Genocide” Against White Christians
Christian prayer in public school is prohibited, but now the Marxists in California are trying to force millions of students to chant to the Aztec gods of human sacrifice and cannibalism.
California’s proposed “ethnic studies” curriculum calls for the “decolonization” of American society and a “counter-genocide” against white Christians.
NYC school encourages kids to stop using words like ‘mom,’ ‘dad’ in ‘inclusive language’ guide
The detailed guide recommends using the terms “grown-ups,” “folks,” “family” or “guardians” as alternatives to “mom,” “dad” and “parents.” It also suggests using “caregiver” instead of “nanny/babysitter.”

The worse news is that sending your child to almost any elementary school or high school — public or private — is fast becoming equally toxic. More and more schools are being taken over by left-wing ideologues and by nonideologues who lack the courage to confront the ideologues.
