Most vile, is when Administrators, or students visit Elementry schools in the spring to talk to the graduating grade 7's, they tell them High School will be great, but, "DON'T USE THE WRONG STAIRS" or you will have "BIG" problems. This of course terrifies these kids for the entire summer. Parents have reported to us, night terrors and severe anxiety attacks. This has been going on for years!
So after all the Photo-ops Clark and McRae conduct today wearing Pink, maybe they could show up in Mcrae's riding with some pink paint and brushes and create real change.

From the comments of Mr. Baird above, it sounds like the "mantra" is the same today. Hide. Avoid. Don't say anything controversial. Suck up. Keep your head down. Dress down. Be a wall flower.
What's the "mantra" for administrators and teachers? "We have a zero tolerance policy! No bullying here!!".
When it comes to the prevention or control of bullying, our public school system absolutely sucks.
Solution: If you work in a school, get tough, get real, or get the hell out.
In your recent comments to the media about the BC Conservative "attack" on Pat Bell, you stated that such attacks "raise your hackles".
Having spent several minutes examining all available photos of you, available on Google, I cannot find any image of you that shows "hackles" (erect or flaccid) in any normally-exposed area of your body.
Consequently, I am concerned about the truthfulness of your statement. Do you, in fact, possess "hackles"? If so, where are they? Why is it that, once your hackles are raised, voters are unable to see your erect hackles?
I find this particularly disturbing because even my neutered male cat is able to raise its hackles. Show him another cat, and POOF! His tail triples in thickness. If a neutered cat can do it, Mr. Krueger, surely you can do the same?
Show us your erect hackles. Prove that you are the man you claim to be, instead of the ignorant politician you appear to be. I'm pullin' for ya.
