Wetcoaster Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Can't remember the exact quotes from the video but oh man it was good when they showed the two sides having a face to face. Club: Why are you trying to take our jobs? Student: But we're not! Club: You're trying to shut down our workplace, and you want us to get job counseling! Student: Well yeah but ummmmmmmm So good.

Bertuzzi Babe Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 But for teacher Ken Ipe, he said his students are very informed about all the issues. "We want to challenge our students to think about this in an objective way," he said. "Well the criticism is, people say 'be informed'. Well we've done our due diligence here that's for sure."

Armada Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 How can he stand up there and say they've done their 'due diligence' and not have even spoken to anyone who works there? Nice try but no ceeegar there, Ken. You can't be 'informed' unless you've taken the time to look at BOTH sides of the situation. And clearly, you haven't. It's pretty obvious he's pushing an agenda instead of teaching his students that there are more sides and ramifications to a situation than just the one he's pushing.

Riviera82 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 They need to find something to do other than preventing consenting adults from doing what they choose to do. I have to wonder if some these dudes are doing this as a pathetic attempt to get laid by pretending to be a gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imuzi Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Lol Best. I went to Pinetree and I always thought that they carried a sense of "I'm better than you" about themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthecivil Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Exactly. It's not like the oilsands causes anyone harm. And even if it did, those individuals chose to live a ....couple ....hundred..... kilometers.... away...... from the oilsands. How dare they infringe on the rights of the oilpatch workers with whiny tales about their health and the health of their families. They should just shut up and instead become employees of the oilsands, that way when they get cancer, they will be covered with a comprehensive health package. Everyone wins.

DonLever Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 CTV showed the protest the other day. It was led by a social justice instructor from Charles Best school. I did not even know there was a course called social justice. Is this now part of the curriculam? Bascally, the point of the protest was that the women were being exploited. Really, are they going to mount a protest in front of every store that sells Playboy magazines or those that rent XXX videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLever Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Are the clubs really controlled by organized crime as the instructor says? Also there is a move to legalize prostitution (solicitation actually). What if one day the Supreme Court strikes down the law, we could have brothels everywhere. Will the instructor go around and claim the women are being oppressed and exploited by men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It is optional, and is part of the Grade 12 curriculum if students wish to choose to take it. From the BCTF site: What is Social Justice 12? This is an exciting elective course that is currently being offered in some school districts in BC. It was approved by the Ministry of Education in August 2008. The course focuses on a wide variety of social justice issues. The IRP is well laid out with specific PLOs which move students through three stages of social engagement. Initially, awareness of social justice issues is developed as students begin to explore SJ issues from various perspectives. Next, students analyze SJ issues to gain a more thorough understanding of them. Finally, students pick specific issues to focus on and develop their own personal action plans for making change in an area they feel passionate about. In this way, they progress from awareness to analysis and action on a social justice topic of their choice. The course is an excellent opportunity for students to become agents of change regarding relevant social justice issues that affect their lives and communities. The IRP is available on the Ministry of Education website atwww.bced.gov.bc.ca/irp/social_justice12/sj12irp2008.pdf. Of course, the true (in)justice here is that rather than fighting global poverty, food security issues, or helping to create sustainable 3rd world regional development, students are indoctrinated to think legal careers such as what the Paramont does is bad.
