Critical thinking starts with getting your facts straight. The mute and block buttons don't change the facts.

"The reason to extend love, is everyone wants to feel heard" ... "instead of reacting with anger and contempt, to try and understand where they're coming from" ... "she doesn't tell them they're stupid, she doesn't tell them they're ignorant, she doesn't tell them they're racist"

Leadership guru @SimonSinek cites @Deeyah_Khan's approach in ‘White Right: Meeting the Enemy’ to illustrate the power of showing love to people you disagree with and making them feel heard.

📰A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact. Link ⬇️ /1

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@AbJrogg @SunstrumPaul Which other methods do you have in mind?

English

John Roggeveen@AbJrogg·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @SunstrumPaul Or something else. It doesn't have to be only one method.

Does anyone agree the movement away from oil is likely going to intensify as countries realize how vulnerable they are to it? Or is global oil production going to ramp up instead?

More taxpayer welfare for private schools. Private schools should be cut off public funding and pay taxes like any other business. Every country with two-tier education has shitty public schools for the working majority and expensive private schools for the rich and bigots.

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca That violates UNCRC 28.1(a) and 29.2. x.com/i/status/20332…

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca I think it's pretty clear that you don't care about the human rights of specific children and their parents.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca The state covers their responsibility by providing a public school system. If a parent choses to educate their child in a private setting, it’s up to the parents to cover those costs.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Not according to those articles which puts responsibility on the state.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca At that point, it’s up to the parents to provide the funding.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Yes, those schools will fulfill all three rights, but if a parent exercises their right under UDHR 26.3, not fully funding that child legally violates UNCRC 28.1(a).

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca Our public schools will fill that void legally.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca If you don't fund private schools, you will end up violating 1 of these 3 clauses: UDHR 26.3, UNCRC 28.1(a), or UNCRC 29.2.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca Cool. Now if you could highlight the portion that speaks about “mandatory private school funding”.

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca I’m gonna need you to source your claim about government obligations to fund private education.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Parents have a prior human right to exclude them from that system. Governments have an obligation to fulfill that child's right to a funded education while also respecting the right of the parents, to the extent that provincial standards allow.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca No one is excluded from the public system.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca But that excludes those who do not attend that system. Children do not have the autonomy to choose where they attend, it is the parents and government who jointly choose for them. Their right to a funded education is not conditional upon who provides that education for them.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca But the funding is available for EVERYONE in the public system.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Only if it's not done on an equitable basis. I would consider tuition to be a violation, however, eliminating public funding is regressive to fulfilling those rights. Eliminating tuition is progressive to fulfilling those rights.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca So you agreed that private schools, which pick and choose which students can attend, violate our human rights?

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca They are one part of the system, no more or less important than other parts. Those alone cannot meet the universally declared rights as only having those to the exclusion of others actually violates those rights.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca That’s why we have public schools, Andrew. Hope this helps.

The entire Earth can be powered by sustainable energy with tech that exists today Large-scale energy storage (Megapack / Megablock) And home batteries (Powerwall) – 1M installed – Can work together in a virtual power plant to act as a large, flexible power plant that supports the grid

English

John Roggeveen@AbJrogg·15 Mar

@SunstrumPaul Not likely if there's a decentralized grid and a way to store the energy. The wind will still blow somewhere and the sun will still shine.

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca That's not the universally recognized right. The right is that every child has a right to fully funded education (regardless of provider) that meets government standards.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca Everyone has the right to attend public schools. Private schools pick and choose who attend.

@_Andrew_Chu_ @Loricatty @rankandfileca I don’t give a Fu%k about private schools losing provincial funding. The parents can make up the difference, or send their kids to public schools, like the rest of us!!

English

Andrew Chu@_Andrew_Chu_·15 Mar

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca That would be stealing dollars from every child that attends private school. Every child in Alberta (worldwide actually) has a universally recognized human right to publicly funded education that meets provincial standards.

English

Socially Distanced@jo44527486·15 Mar

@Loricatty @_Andrew_Chu_ @rankandfileca Every tax dollar that goes into private school, is a dollar that should’ve gone towards the public school system.
