A PRINCIPAL'S OPENING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS

Written by Paul Fromm

*If only this were true in schools across the country! * *A PRINCIPAL'S OPENING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS* "To the students and faculty of our high school: I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people. I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in Canada have worked against you, against your teachers, against your parents, and against our country. Therefore: First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is Canadian. This is a Canadian public school, and Canadian public schools were created to make better Canadians. If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through your school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-,race- and non-Canadian-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of Canada.. And this school will be guided by Canada 's values. That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness. Your clubs will be based on interests and passions -- not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So, we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, math, carpentry, and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you. Second, I am not interested in whether or not English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united Canada's citizens for more than 140 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills, I will have been remiss in my duty to ensure that you are prepared to compete successfully in the Canadian job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Canadians only speak English . But if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school. \ Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school. Those people have their priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school. Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the "F-word," you can't speak.. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission plus epithets such as the "N-word," even when used by one black student to address another, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene. Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it by earning it. One immediate consequence of this is that there will be only one class valedictorian, not eight. Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed, if any one of you graduates from this school and does not consider himself or herself inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be an Canadian. Now, please stand and join me in singing, OH CANADA to the only flag in Canada. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you."

 

Harper's Odd Visit to Greece -- Honours Greeks Shot by Nazis

*Harper's Odd Visit to Greece -- Honours Greeks Shot by Nazis* Right after the recent G-8 conference in France, Stephen Harper, Canada's Israel-Firster Prime Minister, perhaps in deference to his communications director Dimitri Soudas, visited the Greek town of Kalavryta. "He paid homage to the victims of a Nazi massacre of the male population of the village of Kalavryta." ( *Globe and Mail*, May 30, 2011) Soudas's grandfather had been killed by the Nazis. Still, the visit is puzzling. Surely, a more honouring site might have been the Acropolis or other similar monuments to Greek culture, a culture and philosophy that helped shape the Western world. Would a Canadian prime minister on a visit to the U.S. choose as his chief stop Andersonville, a Confederate prison for Union POWs where 13,000 of some 45,000 prisoners perished poor sanitation, overcrowding, malnutrition or disease? A prime minister making such a choice about a still controversial event in U.S. history might be seen to have some sort of agenda. So, too Harper. Trained as an economist, not an historian, Stephen Harper imbibed a strident view of WW II at home and has become an uncritical supporter of Israel and a loud opponent of criticism of Jews. The letter below from an accomplished researcher shows that even in his unusual visit to Kalavryta, Mr. Harper may have gotten it wrong. Yes, war is terrible, war is hell, but Harper's choice of Kalavryta shows he may have missed something in history class. ** *The Toronto Sun* Re: Harper Honours Greek Nazi Victims by Daniel Proussalidis, Parliamentary Bureau - The Toronto Sun May 29, 2011 Dear Mr. Daniel Proussalidis, you are a Greek-Canadian and I am a German. I have read your report with interest and found some very striking inconsistencies regarding the truth as it happened in Kalavryta/Greece where 498 civilians were shot by the Germans. According to you, the 498 Greek civilians were “massacred” by the Germans in retaliation to 90 German soldiers being “executed” by the “Greek resistance movement.” It is a very hypocritical statement on your part by just reversing the facts as they happened: on the one side the Germans (Huns perhaps again?) letting themselves being “executed” by the noble “Greek resistance movement” and on the other hand the civilians of Kalavryta being “massacred” by the Germans. I would suggest to you that those 90 German soldiers first were maliciously murdered by what you sanctimoniously call the “Greek resistance movement.” There can be no doubt that those Greek who murdered the Germans were also civilians and therefore did not wear uniforms which are required for legal fighters such as soldiers. Those are the international rules of engagement between armies. Make yourself knowledgeable, Mr. Proussalidis! By not wearing uniforms they could have been shot on sight. The so-called resistance fighters were too cowardly to accept the consequences of their insidious actions; instead they hid amongst the general population or took to the mountains and let the innocent suffer for them. The international rules of war also allow the execution of civilians at the rate of up to 10 to 1, meaning that the occupying forces can execute 10 hostages for every murdered soldier in order to prevent further attacks by riffraff. Check it out, Mr. Proussalidis! So, since the Germans executed only 498 civilians instead of 900, they stayed well within those rules and in fact shot less than 50% of the legally allowed number. Therefore you should be grateful to them. I happen to know that the victors of WW2 quite often went far beyond the ratio of 10 to 1. So there is no reasonable ground of accusing the Germans of a massacre at Kalavryta; they behaved very fair and tried to protect the civilians as best they could. That can’t be said of the Greek “resistance fighters” who bravely abandoned their countrymen. Had they done the honourable thing and took responsibility for their actions, 498 Greek civilians would have lived. But then you would not have a fairy tale to report, would you? Instead you talk about the “the worst Nazi atrocities “ of WW2, conveniently ignoring the fact that it were the Greek themselves who started that event. No army anywhere in the world can tolerate their soldiers being treacherously murdered in cold blood by so-called freedom fighters, partisans, assassins and other rabble shunning the light. As I see it the Greek were the ones who perpetrated a massacre by ambushing those 90 German soldiers in the first place. Sincerely, Walter Ruthard
