This time they are defending terrorists, so they aren’t. The standards at our universities have dropped significantly since the 1990s…
Good choice. Not worth destroying these guys careers over what appears to be lies. The judge should throw out the case entirely. Gotta wonder about the mental stability of the person who made the complaint. I’d say they don’t have what it takes to be a firefighter.
But they can’t. They aren’t doing it.
I had a discussion one day with a hard core conservative who told me he thought special needs children shouldn’t go to school because it cost the province too much money. That even if they did get an education it wouldn’t lead to anything. Having taught special needs kids in the OCDSB I know this isn’t the case. It’s a great thing that we do to educate these children, and it is a great help to their families. I believe this so much that not educating them intentionally, in special classes, is a crime against humanity in my opinion.
And to mix them in with regular students is a really bad idea. It’s already tough enough for children to learn in the public school system the way it is now because spec-ed kids are also mixed in. Separating them isn’t discriminatory, it’s a recognition that they need special attention and to be taught in a different way that best meets their needs.
One size never fits all…
