A PRINCIPAL'S OPENING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS


From: Dennis Prager, principal at a high school,on the first day of
classes in 2010.
To: The students and faculty of our high school.

I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater
calling than to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our
school.

I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas
that have dominated public education in Canada have worked against
you, against your teachers, against your parents, and against our
country. Therefore: First, this school will no longer honor race or
ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown,
red, yellow, or white. I could not care less if your origins are
African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if your ancestors
arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships. The only identity I
care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual
identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the
only national identity this school will care about is Canadian. This is
a Canadian public school, and Canadian public schools were created to
make better Canadians.

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through
your school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-,
race- and non-Canadian-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine
the motto of Canada.

And this school will be guided by Canada 's values. That includes
all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students
based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual
orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided
by political correctness. Your clubs will be based on interests and
passions -- not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties.
Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation
with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think
beyond yourself. So, we will have clubs that transport you to the
wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not
already speak, math, carpentry, and more. If the only extracurricular
activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on
ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of
yourself really interests you.

Second, I am not interested in whether or not English is your native
language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this
school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The
English language has united Canada's citizens for more than 200
years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the
indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be
one country. And if you leave this school without excellent
English-language skills, I will have been remiss in my duty to ensure
that you are prepared to compete successfully in the Canadian job
market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that
most Canadians only speak English . But if you want classes taught in
your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.

Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in
this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among
other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many
people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice
restaurant than they do for church or school. Those people have their
priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at
this school.

Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this
school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic
events. If you can't speak without using the "F-word," you can't speak.
By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal
Communications Commission plus epithets such as the "N-word," even
when used by one black student to address another, or "bitch," even
when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the
time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to
distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the
holy and the obscene.

Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school,
self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained
it by earning it. One immediate consequence of this is that there will be
only one class valedictorian, not eight.

Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away
from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring
you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual
harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to
condom-wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or
primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince
you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or
not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed, if any one of
you graduates from this school and does not consider himself or herself
inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be an Canadian.

Now, please stand and join me in singing, OH CANADA to the only flag in
Canada. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand
them out to you.

where can we send contributions to his defense fund?

You're a piece of work SteveNO......(rolling here)!

Too bad Brian's post is bull squat. Dennis Prager is a LA talk show host and he wrote the 'speech' as a commentary intended for American schools.

If things seem too good to be true, they probably are.

Thanks for the correction.

I was just passing on an e-mail I was sent.

Sorry for the misinformation. I still like it though - American or Canadian, real or not. I plan on making lot's of speeches like that once I've hit my maximum pension.

Let 'em fire me. I'd love to go out with some local press - and with people saying - "Remember what Brian said when he addressed the students back in 2012!"

There's a surprise........

I would insert a few things though:
1. Dress Code-earrings and long hair are for females and queers, baggy pants are for wannabe thugs, no hats inside, etc. (you get the picture)
2. We'll still bust your azz if you need it
3. We will open the school day praying to God.
4. If you don't like it go somewhere else.

As i read the article -i knew it was BS.
No way will words like this be spoken in public school -liberal parents would explode !

Thats wrong - if things need saying, speak up.

If you can not say thing, that need saying anymore, w/o worrying about your pension, that principle has been neglected to far back, by to many people for to long.

Poor Brian. Thought he had some awe inspiring Canadian stuff to boast upon and,once again,it turns out to be American created.

I sure hope he's not saying "Ooops" all day in school tomorrow!

Who is kidding who?? The more native indian kids your school has the more funding you get....you educators would bend over backwards to trade a few anglo kids for a few first nations!! ;-)

What, you mean BolshevikBrian was full of it (again)?

Naw......

In this case, it was more about what a school principal had supposedly said.

But if you want to turn it into a Canada vs America thing - by all means enjoy yourself!

Yea America! You are number one! I wished I could live where you live! You people are so lucky! We - on the other hand - live lives of quiet desperation. Oh, woe is me! I'm so sad having to live as a Canadian

In this case, it was more about what a school principal had supposedly said.
==============

Yeah,sure BC!

If you don't want any flak for this garbage, then maybe you ought to think before "just passing on an e-mail that was sent." Not too hard to figure out it was B S.

LMAO your hypocrisy is too rich!


you take every opportunity to turn stuff into a Canada vs. America thing

but hey BCB kettle tell ole Bob how black that pot really is


how many guys that post on here do you think would have posted "one *American* principal" vs. just "one principals opening..."?


tis a good thing we've lots of other posters from Canada here, you could give the place a bad name if they thought you were representative of the place


but you are a hoot in your "holier than thou" messages on what it means to be Canadian or a Panting Scientist!

Only thing more unbelievable would have been "a principal in CA". Of course 20 years ago we had many principals like that.

You know,.....the other day you put up a post re: Conservative Victory in Canada, BCB.

I'd note that it was responded to with warm congradulation and best wishes from the respondents here.........

Read what you just posted,....particularly the bold.

Says it ALL about you, Mister.

Do me a favor,.......Quit buddying up to this Campfire, and acting as though you're a "Friend" of the United States. Friends are reliable,....you blow hot and cold like a little teenage chick.

Pretty poor job of editing to fit your penis-envy agenda, Brian.

Things like the spelling of "honor". Federal Communications Commission vs. Industry Canada or whatever the current regulatory agency's name is, etc...


Kind of reminds me of a pinko article I read on CNN yesterday commenting on the diversity and statements made in the photo of Hussein and cabinet in the situation room during the OBL raid. They comment on what a black man being there was saying, what women being there was saying, etc...
Funny, when I saw the pic the thought of anyone's color or gender never crossed my mind.
Liberal fools will keep this crap alive to play the "card".

I doubt that you'd ever be able to play according to the concepts in your original post. Just not enough victims.

I got the e-mail stating some school principal in Canada somewhere had said what I posted.

I believed it. I posted it.

If an American said it - all due credit goes to him.

Nothing about that post was anti-American. The fact that a few of you wish to view it that way - says a whole lot more about you - than it does about me.

It was a great message - no matter who said it.

To the whiners - carry on with your paranoia. You wear it well.
