The #UCP took the opinions of a physician and math researcher and turned it into the #AbEd math curriculum.

Literally the two in this article

If you don’t know what an unbounded norm convergence in a banache lattice is then you now understand the problem with the #AbEd Math Curriculum.

It wasn’t made by primary education teachers, it wasn’t designed for our kids.

Financial literacy that only introduces investing is harmful to our children.

There are many scams they will fall prey to if they can’t think critically about long-term value.

This is why investing requires more developmental growth. #AbEd

#AbEd turned the arm chair critics into paid curriculum advisors following a “vision” authored by #UCP political staffer Chris Champion

He had controversial views…

Speaking of promises, the #UCP promised a less politicized #AbEd curriculum.

Yet according to FOIP documents they introduced #UCP CABINET APPROVAL for early drafts of the curriculum

The #UCP paid Paul Bennett, a Senior POLICY Analyst, Citizenship and Immigration specialist to serve as an advisor on the #AbEd Curriculum

The #UCP paid $25’200 to William French, speech writer and POLITICAL consultant. So a POLITICAL Science and LAW graduate to became an ADVISOR for the #AbEd curriculum.

Instead of a LESS politicized #UCP Curriculum we got political policy WRITERS, political COLUMNISTS, and armchair political CRITICS as the only ones allowed at the decision making table.

Teachers and parents were not at the #AbEd curriculum table and it shows.

That’s why parents and teachers like @RosmanV4YYCEast voted overwhelmingly to keep their families AWAY from piloting the K-6 #AbEd curriculum draft.

We don’t want it in September either if you’re listening #AbLeg
