“A return to phonics and, for example, cursive writing is another example where the government is leaning into the evidence and following the voice of many parents who wanted us to really embrace those practices that for generations have worked."

So parents complained. Got it.

Certain parents complained.

The same people that rallied the New Brunswick premiere to “Make NB Great Again” and issue new rules that force teachers to deadname trans kids and report them to their homophobic parents.

You'd think if it was important to them they might try to teach their kids themselves. Or have we defaulted to we can only learn things in school already?

Take the initiative and be involved in my child's education!? Preposterous!
