71. I'd like to see your sources
I've provided mine, upthread a ways. A private school in Canada, I assure you, can very much NOT teach whatever it wishes. As far as I can tell, that holds for the UK as well. I don't really know whether what you say is true of the US, but then I didn't say that what I said was.

And just because you live in Canada, don't think that your shit doesn't stink.

You might have wanted to read my most recent previous post here first. The moral equivalency one. Beat you to it, I think.

You'll also notice that the government took a rather active interest in the situation. If your Cdn friends know of any similar to it, they might want to have a word in the ear of their provincial education authorities.

Live with it, counteract it with education, but don't ever start banning free speech.

Oh, grow up and leave behind this juvenile, immature free-speech-ism, pullease. I know it sells well where you're at, and too often right here in this place, but most of the world recognizes it for the underdeveloped crap it is.

Otherwise you might wake up to find that you too have been silenced.

Funny thing is, for me it just ain't about me-me-me. In this case, it's about children being abused, to the detriment of both themselves and their societies.

In any event, me and mine aren't really dumb enough to elect a government that is going to try to silence me, so I'm really just not affected by silly scare tactics like this.
