LOL U MAD? has been the Right's rallying cry for years now. It deftly sidesteps the need to actually address any criticism of their positions, and they can wholeheartedly embrace literally anything, if it appears to upset their political enemies.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
I'm sorry to bring this up again, but it's starting to become bizarre for me. I'm having an impossible time finding DFO (or any other department) spending predating 1996. This link is the best I can do: https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/planned-government-spending/reports-plans-priorities.html
And it just go backs to 1996. that's it. and most of the links don't even work ffs. Is it seriously this hard to find something as simple departmental spending by year.

There's got to be a government geek here that can help me. pretty please.

The government was so busy teaching me how to gently caress arses, transition gender, and apply contraceptives to vegetables that they never bothered teaching me long division!

The hell is wrong with these people? Also, why do they think that you can only understand the difference between "boy" and "girl" during or after puberty? Their minds are obviously way too focused on sex!

Conservatives hate sex ed because it's easier to groom and abuse kids who are not well educated about sex. It's also why they instinctively leap to the defence of abusers and their apologists like John Furlong, Tom Flanagan, et al

Well, I don't think that Conservatives in general even hate sex ed (most of the ones I know support it -- it's the Wildrose/SoCon types that hate it), but this is an interesting point that I'd never considered about opposition to sex ed. It was never an issue for me because my parents had The Talk with me pretty early, including what people were and were not allowed to do, but I can certainly see how a child who has never had proper sex ed would be at a much higher risk of being sexually abused or manipulated, either at a young age or, indeed, throughout their lives.

That's a rather disgusting implication to think about and another reason to hate social conservatives.

The root of a large amount of social conservatism is the primacy of the patriarchal family structure, with the idea that the father is the head of the household and has absolute authority over everything that happens within it. He has the right to beat his wife, he has the right to deny her a divorce, he has the right to prevent her from getting an abortion, he has the right to discipline his children how he sees fit, he has the right to teach them whatever he wants. Unsurprisingly, this tends to accompany a deep conservatism that is against many forms of progress, from women's emancipation to gay rights, because those things weaken the patriarchal authority of the father. A hell of a lot of the progress our society has made socially was achieved by passing laws that removed these paternal rights and either allocated them to the individual (for example, allowing women to get abortions without their husband or father's permission, or allowing women to vote) or to the state (for example, punishing men for domestic abuse or shifting education from a familial responsibility to a state responsibility).

Sex ed is just one of the latest stages in this ongoing, seemingly endless struggle. It's still one of the things where a lot of our society buys into the idea that such a sensitive subject is best left to the family, who can choose to educate or not educate their children as they see fit. Naturally, this often means kids get no education because either their social conservative parents don't think their children should ever have sex, or because their parents are too squeamish to properly educate their children (which is fine, I wouldn't want my parents to explain sex stuff to me), and we as a society are in the process of deciding that we don't think that's appropriate for the 21st century and are instead institutionalizing actual informative sex education practices by shifting this responsibility from the family to the state. But because this is yet another loss of authority for the patriarchal traditional family structure, it means yet another battle with social conservatives.

Sex Ed is also just a wedge issue to drive votes and the ability to manipulate education standards. It's the same thing with prayer / god in schools.

Once you can control what is taught and what isn't, you can leave groups ignorant and/or starve them of the ability to reason, making them easier to manipulate and more rigid in their thinking, which benefits those in power.

Suspended Victoria Police Chief says he wants to resign
Frank Elsner outlined how misconduct investigation has caused him stress and anxiety

Suspended Victoria Police Chief Frank Elsner wants to resign and move on with his life.

In an affidavit filed in B.C. Supreme Court, he outlined how the investigation into allegations of misconduct have affected his life.

"I have experienced a great deal of stress and anxiety as a result of the various investigations which has worsened as they have dragged out."

Elsner says his health has been adversely affected.

"I have been under the care of a doctor, who I meet with once every few weeks," said Elsner. "I have had to start taking an anti-depressant and my doctor is highly concerned about my blood pressure."

In addition, Elsner said a number of community organizations he worked with have asked that he not serve in connection with the charities until the investigation is resolved.

In 2015, the Police Complaint Commissioner ordered an external investigation after allegations surfaced that Elsner had exchanged inappropriate messages on Twitter with a member of another police department.

Elsner was instructed not to have contact with any members of the Victoria or Saanich police departments. In the affidavit, he said that at that time his social network was based on those work-related friendships.

"The order that I have no contact with anyone from the Vic PD caused me and my wife to become very isolated from our social network at a very difficult time in our lives," said Elsner. "Over time, I stopped participating in my usual activities and rarely left the house."

Even though he would like to resign, Elsner says he can't until this investigation is resolved.

But, Deputy Police Complaint Commissioner Rollie Woods says Elsner shouldn't be surprised by the length of time of the investigation and he is free to negotiate with the police board and resign now.

"If he actually does resign, I'm sure that the commissioner will consider whether it's in the public interest to continue with this matter because there are significant costs associated with any investigation like this," said Woods.

The judges reviewing the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner's final report have until March 10 to decide if a disciplinary proceeding for Elsner should go ahead.

Older teachers get really upset that teaching cursive isn't part of the curriculum and quite a few of them use valuable class-time to teach it anyway. I use it myself but tell students that focusing on typing is much more valuable, since that's how most of them will be communicating for the rest of their lives.

Getting upset that signatures won't look right is a new one for me, but getting upset that time that could be spent teaching cursive is being spent on proper sex ed is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Old teachers and old conservatives are locked onto this weird fixation with trying to make everything 1920 again and anything that goes against that is seen as a waste of time and money.

I guess I should have said some older teachers.

I think I've mentioned it here before, but one of my Peer Role Models is an older teacher who, after some church made a coordinated effort to have members elected to some board that controlled Sex Ed curriculum in the school board and tanked it, defied the curriculum and taught everything she felt her students needed to know. She bought her own materials and when she was questioned on it, told them she was a teacher and was doing her job.

Eventually the curriculum was changed again and we have pretty good Sex Ed now, however I have caught one of the Youth Health workers at a school focusing on teaching abstinence as well as the Extreme Dangers of Marijuana
