On Thursday, the Oxbow Prairie Horizons School in Saskatchewan, Canada staged their annual student Christmas concert. The show, “Santa Goes Green,” pissed off parents in the town where oil is one of the major industries. Here’s a description from the Santa Goes Green sheet music:
Melting ice caps, global warming, surfing reindeer! The North Pole is going green this year and everyone is excited – everyone, that is, except Santa who likes things just the way they are. Solar panels, LED light bulbs, new power sources? It all sounds a bit inconvenient to him. Mrs. Claus, the elves, toys and reindeer have their hands full!
From CBC:
(Mike Gunderman, whose daughter was in the show,) said the concerns raised were not directed at the children. He said they did a great job singing and performing, but he felt it was “the wrong message to send at the wrong time of the season.
“Especially when our industry is suffering right now,” he said. “It’s a tough time for everybody.”
Audrey Trombley, chair of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division where Oxbow Prairie is located, apologized to anyone who was offended by the concert, saying there was never any intention to make the show political.
“There was no political agenda,” said Audrey Trombley, chair of the division’s Board of Trustees. “The teacher chose the song because of the rhythm and the beat, and thought the kids would like it.”

CBD Oil Illinois schools don’t just lock special ed kids in solitary, they also restrain them
Last month, Propublica published a characteristically blockbuster piece on the use of “quiet rooms” in Illinois schools, especially in special ed programs: these are a euphemism for solitary confinement, and their use is so cruel and grotesque that Propublica’s reporting prompted state level action to ban quiet rooms in schools and reform the policy on […]

CBD Oil This Chrome extension lets you read without distractions
“Surfing the web,” is one of those casual terms that actually says a lot about the way we use the internet. “Surfing,” after all, sounds fun, almost passive. Just let the wave of information carry you, it seems to say. But what if we actually need to stay put for a while? Sadly, the layout […]
