Yeah just ask Naomi Wolf. She was a Lefty darling for decades. The ONLY subject she stepped 'out of line' on was the Covid vaccines, because they were being pushed on kids and pregnant women with (in her opinion) insufficient testing. She is now Intellectual Non Grata to the Left for that one simple disagreement.

Why are you complaining about Twitter/X if you could be on other platforms that don't have the X platform issues that you're so concerned about? So you have a "garbage" Twitter/X feed. Move to one of the other places if it's so bothersome to you.

She didn't overperform in any county over the dementia patient. Well. Fun times!

Are you Canada's spokesperson now?

He could be sentenced to an electric car.

I guess the question I'd ask is how many of those students have English as a second language. That would be a big impediment to educational achievement. Obviously the younger you are when you learn English the better you'll do, but a lot of this might just be reflective of the reality of a language barrier. The rest of the kids may be doing fine, although teachers have their hands full dealing with those with limited English skills AND a lot of mainstreamed kids who have behavioral issues. I don't envy the teachers their job challenges! It's also why I don't think they should be rewarded based on the test scores of their students. A lot of that is out of their control. They should be well compensated for doing a difficult job.

AutoPent-ahontas?

Libnuts defending 'constitutional principles' is precisely how you know they're (again) using prefabricated talking points.

Love this part where they're citing 'past pandemics' including a study based on a MODEL in 2006, and of course that crazy pandemic from 2009 which we all remember. (sounds the same as temporary school closures that occur during an intense flu season) Great stuff! Claim: Evidence from past pandemics supports school closures Aaron E. Carroll, professor of pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine (The New York Times): "It’s not just children that we need to worry about. Plenty of adults work in schools: teachers, janitors, food preparation workers and more. They’re all being put at risk by keeping schools open. Arguably they’re more at risk than many other workers at businesses that have already been shut down. Closing schools can make a big difference in flattening the curve, evidence from past epidemics shows. A study in Nature in 2006 that modeled an influenza outbreak found that closing school during the peak of a pandemic could reduce the peak attack rate, or speed of spread, by 40 percent. Another study in 2016 in BMC Infectious Diseases found that, based on the H1N1 pandemic of 2009, closing schools could reduce the attack rate up to 25 percent and the peak weekly incidence, or rate of new cases, by more than 50 percent." - "Is Closing the Schools a Good Idea?," March 17, 2020.

This is what I like about Alberta:

Are you BlueSky or Threads?

At least they're not doing it over Covid vaccine cards.

You brought her up! Kamala in the house.

I think you should wear the sweatshirt.

I'm not outraged, I'm just not buying your prefabricated talking points. It's amusing to watch you defend Harvard.

lol. Do you say stuff like that just to watch yourself type?

Their graduates make up 'the elites' of our society and funding comes from their well-heeled personal donations as well as their companies and foundations. Why are you so hell-bent on defending Harvard? Harvard University Professor and Two Chinese Nationals Charged in Three Separate China-Related Cases

Ya gotta love the Harvard ethos:

The U.S. DOES have a raging obesity problem.

Harvard's research will continue regardless. Harvard has the largest endowment of ANY university in the U.S. If they're getting significant government funding that money is better spent on trade schools and the state university systems. University systems which ALSO "do research," by the way.

The anti-semitic protests at Harvard are well known. Why are you in the tank for Harvard? Clearly you're not a grad. Aspirational Limousine Liberalism?

That's okay, keep voti8ng for it!

So much THE SCIENCE! How about giving experimental shots to pregnant women? That sounds safe! Locking everyone down and vaccinating them to protect the elderly. (average age of a Covid death was over 80.) No gathering in groups unless it's a political protest! Keeping a mask on when you walk in a restaurant but taking it off to eat! Masks for schoolkids but not politicians! One way aisles in grocery stores! (think how many lives THAT saved!) CDC's 6-Foot Distancing Rule Was 'Arbitrary'

Joe actually mentioned it three years ago but he decided to play it off as 'skin cancer.'
