I'm Taking My Ball & Going Home


It must be fun to be the government.


If you don't like something you just change the rules.


Case in point.


80 year-0ld Victoria School Trustee, John Young, successfully sued the government last September. The B.C. Supreme Court decided that fees could not be charged in public schools for any course leading to graduation. Mr. Young waged this war for a decade because of his admirable belief that poorer parents should not be unnecessarily burdened with the cost of so-called public education.


On Monday, Education Minsiter, Shirley Bond, introduced Bill 20 which will again allow school districts to levy fees for a broad range of activities.


In short - Bah, Humbug.
