Are you kidding me?

You took the impact of human beings on climate out of the curriculum in grade 6 science?

Where is carbon and methane? Where are greenhouse gasses?

Or do you think it’s too scary to inform 11 year olds that climate change will have devastating impact on their generation?

I don’t give a crap that your ilk don’t believe in science. Our children deserve to know what is in their future.

I can’t help but notice the only thing you plan on teaching 11 year olds are the four fundamental elements.

Fire (sunlight); water; air; land (earth).

Will our children be prepared for anything but manual labour?

When did we travel back to Ancient Greece for science info?

Will you be teaching our children about alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone too.

A magical substance that turns base metals into gold? Or a group-engineering Hail Mary holdout for saving the planet?

Or do we just put our faith in god?

Are you purposely taking our children back to the dark ages so they don’t know what hits them when climate change becomes catastrophic?

I’ve never seen anything so blatantly ideological in my life. This is pure ideological indoctrination.

Wow did UCP ever project intentions.

Grade 6 Science that doesn’t even deal with modern concepts. Instead relies on pre-Renaissance classical logic & reasoning?

plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-…

What kind of BS is that?

How dare you try to teach children that deductive reasoning is all they need to meander through life!

Critical thinking requires a base knowledge of how science works, an inquisitive nature and facts that can be physically proven by data.

How does this curriculum prepare a student for STEM futures?

It doesn’t. And that’s the point, isn’t it.

You’re attempting to restrict higher learning to private school curricula. Unless you are an elite with wealth and means to access private school, grade 6 science will consist of Aristotle’s four fundamental elements, magical thinking & divine intervention & faulty classic logic?

The same mumbo jumbo deductive logic that doesn’t need proof or empirical evidence used to rationalize Fraser Institute economic theories, Austrian economics, Ludwig Mises praxology, & teleological thinking?

The same logic used by freedom warriors and Evangelical Christians like Pastor James Coates to rationalize his refusal to adhere to covid restrictions and orders that have now pushed Alberta into a third wave of covid?

The ones you’ve enabled and encouraged to ignore laws.

The same logic used by Q’Anon adherents to reason that kids wearing masks in school is dangerous since they are inhaling their own expelled CO2, forgetting that surgeons, nurses & many other health professionals have worn masks with no CO2 poisoning experienced for a century?

No.

You will not make our children an army of idiots that obey commands mindlessly and couldn’t critically think themselves out of a wet paper bag.

You are a clear and present danger to this province.

Your end as governing party is our collective mission.

Whatever it takes to remove you, we will depose you & your sorry cabal of radicalized ideologues.

This is too far. It’s bad enough you want arts to reflect white supremacy, but predetermining every publicly educated child’s future as indentured servant to plutocrats is too far.

Did you think those of us educated beyond the level of a compliant dog wouldn’t notice what you’re doing?

You payed hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars to sycophants who melded Evangelical Christian Homeschool curriculum with Traditional Catholic curriculum.

Hardly original & certainly not worth the patronage payoff you provided to tweak these two curricula for Alberta students.

I thank god my kid is no longer in elementary. I feel deep pity and sympathy for those parents & children who must endure the implementation of this crap.

While we are on the subject of parents, why don’t we let everyone know your evangelical community’s plans.

Just like the Mennonite parents in NW Alberta, evangelical parents want control of school councils and to control the culture of every school.

They plan on swarming school councils, running for school board trustee or applying for teacher and administrative positions within the public school systems.

So they can ensure no child receives a modern education.

Pastor Coates is just the beginning, isn’t it?

This is full on infiltration of every position of power in K-12 education. To impose Kingdom of God theonomy.

I see you. Hundreds of others do too. Soon it will be a few million.

You’re despicable and repugnant. Both of you.

Anyone who aims to harm children is the worst kind of demagogue and autocrat.

You’re done. UCP is finished. And you can tell the evangelical fascists they’re done too.

When a government is incapable, it needs to be deposed.

You’ve killed people with your covid mitigation strategy, impoverished thousands with your austerity cuts, attacked healthcare and the workers and now you want to limit our children’s future.

You are so finished.
