Not allowed to live-tweet in the Legislature session, so here's a post-tweet breakdown of my experience as a long-time Saskatchewan teacher.

First, I felt angry and still feel angry. Some teachers could no longer listen to @PremierScottMoe blatantly lie and left the gallery. /1 Teachers were recognized by both sides but mostly by the NDP. Students were also introduced, and I doubt that many @SaskParty members can remember their names or school because they talked over it. Wanna make teachers angrier? Disrespecting students will do it. #ISupportSTF /2

Here we go. Dustin Duncan for the 2nd time in a week. We shall see how he's received at #stfcouncil. Just as an aside, I'm expecting a canned speech and not much else. Introducing the minister. Has been in politics since he was 26 years old. Introduction finished. Smattering of applause... I didn't clap.

Just remembering a couple other moments from Duncan's session yesterday... He was talking about the Covid funding from the feds and how it was temporary. A teacher yells out that Covid isn't over. He replies and says it's in a different phase now. She's like "Yeah, okay." πŸ˜‚ Re: the Legacy Christian Academy abuse scandal and his response. He explains the measures he's taken to remove accused individuals and monitor schools more closely. After his explanation, several teachers yell out "Cut their funding!"

Duncan describing all the capital funding for education. Colour me unimpressed. We need those funds for kids in the classroom, too. #reginateachersconvention Talking about mental health. No one can argue this is important but being proactive is necessary. Support the social programs up front. $500,000 for mental health first aid. That's a drop in the bucket. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Inexplicably, the govt gives three Christian schools at the center of abuse allegations another chance including Grace Christian School. They already had no building after being essentially evicted by the church they were using. 1/8

thestarphoenix.com/news/local-new… Despite dozens of abuse allegations including several against the director of Grace Christian School (formerly at Legacy Academy), they assigned a government hired administrator to try to make it work so this school could remain open WITH public funds. But it gets worse... 2/8
