BC Conservatives release education policy plans
vancouver.citynews.ca
The B.C. Conservatives have unveiled their education policy plans about six days before the Oct. 19 voting day.

Basically all of the progress we've made in BC in the education system (funding cuts notwithstanding) over the last 7 years is to be rolled back.

  • Cops back in schools

  • A return to grade-letter ranking for grades 4-9

  • Ending SOGI123 (sex orientation / gender identity inclusive programme)

  • Subsidies for private schools and home schooling parents

  • Removal of attempts at making white people guilty for genociding the natives

  • Re-instating all the standardised tests that we got rid of because they're fucking useless

I absolutely fucking hate these people. I'm no fan of the BCNDP but definitely hoping they'll eek out a victory because god damn.

      They are very purposefully hiding a lot of their ideas from the public because they're very well aware that the more the public knows about them the less popular they become. A lot of their candidates have even ducked out of the all-candidates debates entirely for this reason.
