It’s almost like a good old fashioned #GeorgeClark #kudatah. !!! 😆😆😆

Wherein the Minister of #ABED education refers to complexity in terms of refugees and ELL students - then talks about how complexity manifests as violence and aggression in the classroom. The conflation isn’t innocent - it’s deliberately xenophobic and racist.
Shame on you.

Don’t be naive - This Trump adjacent “Peace Prize” was awarded as a precursor to pave the way for a US invasión of Venezuela for the purposes of accessing the countries national
Resources.
Namely oil. It’s always oil.

Enjoy your evening

For a moment I thought this was Alberta 😆 silly me - @albertateachers.bsky.social aren’t picketing at all!! This is Chicago, and Los Angeles - whose strike lasted only 6 days in case anyone’s looking for tips:

Maybe u were led to believe it was a collective decision (classic ATA) but “Provincial Executive Council, acting on the advice of the CentralStrike AdvisoryCommittee, decided not to undertake picketing.”Don’t be fooled, it wasn’t the workers making the call here. #abed

The ATA is literally infantilizing their members then wonder why the public doesn’t consider them professionals….
Pick up a sign and picket like ALL LABOUR ORGS! @albertateachers.bsky.social @schilldawg.bsky.social

To whom it may concern:

1. If you work, are an employee, or a labourer, you are part of the working class. Unless you’re the CEO of a multimillion$ corp - you are a labourer & should ALWAYS side w your fellow workers fighting 4 better conditions.

2. Strikes are meant to disrupt & be inconvenient.

Ole Dani willing to do literally anything other than fund public education. #Danibucks

As disgusting as this is, it’s also embarrassing that Dani has more of a strike plan than the @albertateachers.bsky.social

A little over 5 years ago I did a podcast, in it I spoke about the gains made by the Teachers Association in Alberta - most nota my I asked “WHAT GAINS?!!”
Five years later and they’re still exactly there. NO GAINS.
It’s time to make your organization work for you #ABTeachers. #Abed

From books to sports, it’s concerning that the folks most preoccupied with children, sex and gender is the the AB UCP government. Where are all the civil rights lawyers at? #abed
