TORONTO – La manifestazione degli studenti, venerdì 2 dicembre, presso il liceo accorpato di Keele Street (George Harvey e York Memorial: qui il nostro servizio di venerdì) è stata impressionante per diversi motivi. Uno, era pacifica e generalmente ben temperata. Due, al suo apice, c’erano, secondo il mio conteggio approssimativo (contestato da altri resoconti dei media interessati a gonfiare i numeri), circa 150 partecipanti (poco più del 10% del corpo studentesco registrato).

TORONTO – The demonstration by students, on Friday, December 2 (here our article), at the combined high school on Keele Street (George Harvey and York Memorial) was impressive for several reasons.

The Committee’s title is a mouthful. The reports, not so much. They are reminiscent of a textbook critique and criticism of Ontario’s failing “progressive” educational system (woke of the era) from three generations ago: So Little for the Mind, 1953, by Hilda Neatby.
