How is it showing 'diversity' if certain people are denied speaking? Most of these issues never come up if it weren't for Charles, in this it as Charles says, he IS speaking for all the voiceless children in this province who are put on drugs with absolutely no say. I was a lousy student and I would just be horrified if my teachers, parents, doctors and the government all came in and said 'we don't like how you are behaving so we are going to drug you'.
These people have no voice, and ironically if they ever committed a crime everybody would be hollering for them to be tried as adults, and wouldn't care a whit whether they were 'forced drug addicts'.
How many other voices do you hear objecting to government policy? So how can you say that Charles is just speaking for himself? Charles is free to choose between being medicated or not, those children aren't, and we know that the government and medical establishment is not paying to have children adequately tested before FORCING them to go on it. In case you didn't know, children have NO rights.
So try this sometime, say there is some organization that you are connected with which is being affected by government or society and you want to talk about it. Call up Rogers for one of their shows and see how you feel when they arbitrarily tell you that you will not be heard. I think Charles is being kind in calling them fascist because I can think of other words, but he's restricted since he tries to watch his language.
Anybody who thinks the Irving press provides a 'diversity' in their editorials, is simply so locked into the propaganda box that they can't even think outside it. This is, of course, why New Brunswick is the poorest province, with the worst economic record, bleakest economic prospects, lowest standard of living, and a good percentage of people don't even know it thanks to Rogers and Irving.
Thank goodness for the internet because at least the next generation gets access to the whole world online and doesn't buy into the Irving view of the world like the geezers.

Interesting idea, change education to teach skills that are completely obsolete. While we're at it perhaps we should teach them yiddish and how to thresh grain with branches. That's preparing them for the knowledge economy.
When is the government and all people going to get what has been happening. Ritalin is not the answer. Unless we have someone in power who has these social problems or maybe it will take more then that. Our educational system should go back to basics and add more basics.
