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.

    Yeah they've done a lot of good work reforming the very outdated school curriculum. I think some school districts still opt to have pigs in their schools but it's up to each district? I dunno.

    This prediction seems like it might come to fruition. Honestly, this would be my ideal result. I think the NDP has done great things with housing and education, but the shit like LNG, fracking and old growth logging make a total mockery of their "CleanBC" plan.
