Selling educators down the river
Re: "Selling educators down the river," Lyn Cockburn.
A father confronted his son's Grade 9 teacher during a parent-teacher
interview, accusing the teacher of indoctrinating the boy with "godless
communism." The source of this harsh accusation was a social studies
unit on the Soviet Union, which he was mandated to teach. In deflecting
the accusation, the teacher asked the parent: "If I teach artificial
insemination at an agricultural college, does that make me a bull?" The
latter was miffed by such impudence. Now thanks to Bill 44, a parent
may even lodge a complaint with Alberta Human Rights. Hosanna!
