For Bourque Bearskin and Dick, the work they’ve been doing over the last few years, including the development of the #MastersProgram, is better aligning #healthcare with the principles of #UNDRIP.
@KrissyKat I don't feel strongly about any of them, but I won't vote for Jeremy Morris since he's a supporter of Whitten, and I probably won't vote for any of the white dudes since we have enough of those.
#Genocide needs to be taught in all schools. It's sad to see so many adults who obviously never learned what genocide truly is. They really believe that it's only genocide if almost every person targeted in a genocide is dead. There's more to genocide than only body counts.
@msquebanh I've not had the chance to teach in school much but I'm proud that I did a lesson about genocide. And I pointed out that the Swedish state's long policy of 'reeducation' of indigenous children could be seen as genocidal.

>160k student loan borrowers are now in line to have their balances canceled, bringing the total amount of #DebtForgiveness allowed under the Biden admin’s policies to $167B, the #Education Dept announced Wed.
“I promised to fight to ensure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier to opportunity,” #Biden said in a stmnt Wed. “I will never stop working to cancel student debt — no matter how many times Republican elected ofcls try to stop us.”
A 3 day trial over a high school student picking up someone else's airpods, then returning them when someone pointed it out. The spokesperson for the city said “We are glad that this matter has come to a conclusion, the Defendant wanted her day in court and now that she has had it we are ready to move on.”
If I was a Napierville taxpayer, I'd want at minimum some substantive legal changes to prevent similar abuse. But I'd rather see some folks fired for idiocy.
The #Colorado#GOP is absolutely nuts (not to mention completely hateful). Their attack on public schooling has taken a more direct tact. This is the crazy train, folks.
Reminds me of my colleagues faces when I told them to just use office template files, so that people would no longer misname copies of existing files or mistakenly change last weeks document.
Since opening templates always results in a new unsaved unnamed document. 👍
A South Korean province removed more than 2,500 books on sex education, gender equality and feminism from school libraries.
The person behind the campaign claims the books promoted the “early sexualization” of children through “sexual explicitness” and the “promotion of homosexuality.”
#China's internet #censors have deleted a video in which #children at a private #PerformingArts school in the southwestern province of #Sichuan dance to British rock band #PinkFloyd's 1979 hit "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" which featured a choir of #schoolchildren protesting overbearing authority & "thought control" in #education.
@maddad Chinese people are still taking great risks to demonstrate against oppression/censorship - knowing the risks.
I'm very grateful for their bravery.
Yes, me too. I had been to HK in 2017 and 2018 for a couple of weeks each time to visit some friends when I was on my way to VN.
My friends were English teachers in a private school there.
They had been there for 10 yrs at least and really liked it, but left a few months after my last visit because they didn't feel safe anymore.
The Chinese censors threw almost everything they were teaching out, and were quite ruthless about it.
