August1991 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Le chef de l'Action démocratique du Québec, Mario Dumont, a vivement réagi aux intentions des syndicats des professeurs de cégep de lancer une campagne de sensibilisation politique auprès de leurs étudiants.Les enseignants veulent en effet distribuer une brochure de neuf textes pour, disent-ils, critiquer les politiques néolibérales et soulever des débats politiques. Ce document veut également montrer du doigt la loi 142, adoptée en décembre dernier par le gouvernement Charest pour déterminer les conditions de travail des employés de l'État. Pour M. Dumont, cette initiative des syndicats des enseignants des cégeps, souvent associés aux idées de gauche, est en quelque sorte une campagne de propagande. Selon lui, les professeurs n'ont pas à utiliser leur position privilégiée pour inculquer à leurs élèves des principes idéologiques sur la politique québécoise alors que des rumeurs d'élections se font de plus en plus persistantes. « Dès qu'on entre dans cette relation d'autorité où un professeur a des choses à enseigner à ses étudiants et que, de cette relation, on veut utiliser des canaux de propagande idéologique, je ne peux pas approuver ça et je pense que ça doit être dénoncé avec énergie », a précisé M. Dumont. Radio Canada Quote
Charles Anthony Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Bravo! M. Dumont! Comment protégér l'opinion minoritaire contestaire ?You simply can not. I think the only solution is to take your kids out of the school and send them to a different (private, it will have to be) school or teach them yourself. Afterwards, you can try to beg for your taxes back. The trouble with teachers and politics in a public school system is that practically EVERYBODY either has a close friend, a relative or a spouse who is a teacher if they are not a teacher themselves. Questioning teachers creates political stonewalls and wars. What I find confusing is the seemingly fence-sitting of the Quebec education minister. He states: « Il y a peut-être deux ou trois cadres syndicaux qui envisagent ça, mais on n'est pas rendu là. » after stating that he is convinced that the teachers will not abuse their position? I do not know what that means. Interestingly enough, it sounds like a war between sovereignists and federalists. Par ailleurs, selon M. Dumont, la campagne "d'endoctriment" concoctée par les enseignants révèle également toute l'influence qu'exerce auprès des syndicats le groupe "Syndicalistes et progressistes pour un Québec libre", le SPQ-Libre, "une bibitte qu'on n'aura jamais fini d'enquêter (pour) comprendre tous les liens qu'elle a avec le Parti québécois puis comment tout cela peut respecter la Loi électorale." http://www.matin.qc.ca/quebec.php?article=20060829165044and it is the sovereignists who are behind the propaganda. I support their cause! I do not know enough about the psyche of Quebeckers (both the public and the students) enough to predict how they will receive such a propaganda campaign or whether it will make a difference. I wonder if this will back-fire on the teachers union? I would hope that this issue in Quebec leads Quebeckers (and by extension the Rest-of-Canadians) to thinking twice about how much control they relinquish to the State when they send their kids to daycare --- I mean, school.

jbg Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Excuse my ignorance. I didn't understand a word of that top post. Was that written in the Canadian language? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

kimmy Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 I am very proud... I was able to get the gist of August's snippet using my rusty, woefully inadequate French skills from junior highschool "French as a Second Language"... and it only took me 10 minutes!
