PRINCIPAL'S OPENING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS
________________________________________
From: Dennis Prager, Principal at a High School in Toronto, on the first day of classes in 2012.

To: The students and faculty of our High School.

I am your new Principal, and honoured to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in Canada have worked against you, against your teachers, against your parents, and against our country.

First, this school will no longer honour race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower, leaky SE Asian refugee ships, or on slave ships.
The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is Canadian. This is a Canadian public school, and Canadian public schools were created to make better Canadians.

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, religious identity through your school, you will have to go to another one. We will end all ethnicity - race - and non-Canadian-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of Canada. Everyone is equal, coast to coast.

And this school will be guided by Canadian values. That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes gender, race, language, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness. Your clubs will be based on interests and passions -- not blood, ethnic, tribal, racial or other physically defined ties.
Those clubs just cultivate narcissism – an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself.
 So, we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, sport, debating, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, math, carpentry, and many many more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in, are those based on ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you, and that means you don't belong in this school.

Second, I am not interested in whether or not English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible.
The English language has united Canadian citizens for more than 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country.
And if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills, your teachers and I will have been remiss in our duty to ensure that you are prepared to compete successfully in the Canadian employment market. You will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Canadians only speak English. But if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not the school for you.

Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school. Those people have their priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the "F-word," you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission plus epithets such as the "N- word," even when used by one black student to address another, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend.
 It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene, the educated and the non-educated.

Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programmes. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attain it will be by earning it from their fellow students and teachers. One immediate consequence of this is that there will be only one class valedictorian, not eight.

Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school programme toward academics, scholarship, and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only, or primarily a health issue.
There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed, if any one of you graduates from this school does not consider himself or herself inordinately lucky -- lucky to be alive, lucky to be well educated, and lucky to be a Canadian.

Now, please stand and join me in singing, OH CANADA to the only flag in Canada. As many of you may not know the words, your teachers will gladly hand them out to you.

Crikey! This is taking it a bit too far.............

Would never happen in Australia......could it?...........the greenies and the soft cocks would all emigrate to Seth Efrica or Antarticar or return to NZ.  

I know it's cruel but I have to admit this isn't what it seems.....more the pity.

It's a column written by a radio show host Dennis Prager a couple of years ago......should send Alan Jones the link .

Bummer. I thought it was for real. I did find myself thinking "this guy won't be in his job for too long". I agree with the sentiment

From this morning's Herald Sun newspaper...


RATEPAYERS would help cover funeral expenses for Aborigines under a radical blueprint to promote reconciliation.
The City of Port Phillip draft plan also calls on the council to actively support "invasion day" and set aside a special meeting place for the indigenous community.
More than 30 councils across the nation have launched or are developing "reconciliation action plans", with peak body Reconciliation Australia providing templates and "tool-kits".
Port Phillip's plan will be considered at a council meeting tonight and, if approved, will go to the general community for feedback during February.
It calls for a special fund to "cater for miscellaneous costs associated with funerals of members of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community".
Under the draft plan, indigenous flags would fly permanently over St Kilda Town Hall and welcome ceremonies would be performed at all major civic events.
The council also will support efforts to ensure indigenous residents have access to "sufficient, affordable and quality sources of food".
But Tim Wilson, from free-market think tank the Institute of Public Affairs, said Aborigines needed real economic opportunities, not subsidised funerals, or food.
"This is empty symbolism without actually doing anything to improve the welfare of indigenous Australians, including when they're alive," he said.
Ratepayers Victoria president Jack Davis said it was discriminatory and a waste of funds to provide benefits such as funeral expenses for only one section of the community.
Port Phillip acting mayor Cr Frank O'Connor said the council was committed to lifting the life expectancy of indigenous people and was supporting reconciliation by identifying clear actions with measurable targets.
"The funeral fund and meeting place are suggestions that have come out of extensive consultation with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and will be considered as part of the overall plan," he said.
Port Phillip has only about 250 Aboriginal residents in a population of 97,000, but it wants 2 per cent of council staff to be indigenous by 2019.
Municipal Association of Victoria president Cr Bill McArthur said local government was ideally placed to show leadership on reconciliation.

If I was rate payer in the City of Port Phillip, I would not be happy that my rates were paying for funerals of any person, regardless of their race, as those who are disadvantage already get assistance for funeral expenses through Centrelink.

Maths is obviously not council's long suit 

Arthur

When I first read that , I like you, misread it. He did not say he wanted 2% of the population ( 97,000) to be employed by the council , but 2% of the council staff. If the council employed say,1000 staff, that would mean only 20 out of 250 aborigines would be employed, quite a bit different from 2% of 97,000.

Guilty as charged 

Having had the privilege to work in Cape York and the Kimberley's on projects involving local labour it would shock some of you the waste that is happenning everyday. these were just a couple of things that happenned over a 18month period, it was a laugh a minute.

In Cape York they built an abattoir then realised the local Butcher shop was unfit, so the band saws etc stayed out in the weather for a couple years and the Abattoir was grown over by grass.

Local Baker hit the piss pretty hard so new boss sacks him. F.u.k. no one to cook bread so local guy gives it a try and as long as you ate it within 4 hours it was OK, next day it was a brick. Sacked. All bread got flown from Cairns.

Lets get a barge, wow built a road SIX Blades wide. Only trouble was it wasn't a good place for the barge to cross. Move 4 or 6klm down river. Boys had a crab holding pen they would lower into Jardine with loader and it got crushed by a Croc.

A croc used to come up near Plum tree at Wharf and as lots of locals would swim there they had a Cairns based outfit come up to catch or kill. So funny first night at Motel dinner time and the hunters sitting there with guns on and bullet thing strapped over his shoulder. I asked the boss to take them off while we had dinner (chicken was all you got) No our guns stay.

They drove up and down traps here and some of the locals reckoned the croc was watching them, 2 hunters got sick first 2 days and flown out. Eventually they trapped croc and they came and asked us to lift him onto truck and into the police cells. 13 foot 11 inches and Browny had to make a crate for transport on the plane. DC3.

An Archaeologist or whatever they are turns up to check out a skull found in the banks of the Jardine. Newspaper report says it was a female. Turns out the local sarges wife tells them that, as she reckons only a female would have a root growing out of her head as all females are fu k ed in the head. Her words.

Lets put a fence across the Cape f.u.k knows why but lets start here. Boss couldn't read a compass and sent them off wherever. 2ic and the local workers knew Boss didnt know but he wouldn't listen or take advice.
Danny started other end and 2ic pissed boss off and changed course , they met up within 50m which is pretty bloody good.

Same dumbass boss asks Nelson to follow him to The Cape with the Grader, Nelson does this and when he gets there (28k) he says what now boss. Boss goes nuts and said you were supposed to put the blade down, But boss you just said follow me.

I loved my 2 short stays there and that's where I met the most wonderful wife and mother. Great people the locals but the clowns (Not All) that go up there make it so much harder.

Lets all have another development plan and create a few more Committees they are professional committee people and achieve s fa .

They all have professional Funeral people who travel far and wide, which is OK but like anything it becomes a habit especially when we pay.

Kimberleys are worse as I have been here for 16 years and wow, Jails would be full if they prosecuted.

Whilst on the subject of Invasion Day, I imagine 90% of those who arrived on the First Fleet on the 26th January 1788 were hardly invaders, but convicts, and if you had offered them the opportunity to be stay on Sydney Cove or be sent back to The Old Dart ,they would have taken the latter option.Those convicts were probably shackled as they came to shore ....an "invasion".
