EMSB tries to discourage climate strike
The witless goomers that run the EMSB are trying to discourage students from blowing off school for Friday’s big climate march. As happens, the kids understand something the adults refuse to acknowledge.

Don’t know if they understand better. I’d rather see students in school educating their-selves finding solutions for the future. I’ve witnessed similar marches in Europe, where they ended up with streets filled with trash, and seeing most benefits for local McDonalds and Burger KIng restaurant with huge line ups from protesting kids. Let’s hope things are not like that in Canada.

They would be more effective convincing classmates to refuse being chauffered to and from school by their parents.

This is the same day as the yearly March Against Police Brutality. I expect police brutality at both marches.

Jim, sitting passively in a classroom for one day is not enough to tip the situation. These kids know they have to rattle some chains now.

Jim when you say “educating their-selves finding solutions for the future”, you imply that the solutions are not known. The solutions are well-known. Convincing/forcing people to do them is what’s missing.

Having worked for them for almost 20 years, ” witless goomers ” is about right.
