Not a university, Centennial College "offers more than 120 diploma certificate, degree and post-graduate programmes in business, communication arts, child studies, engineering technology, health and wellness, hospitality, tourism, culture and transportation." It has 16,000 full-time and 22,000 part-time students. Now, the winner of this job search must be a "vibrant and energetic [person] ... whose passion for students and learning is matched by his/her global citizenship and equity." Just what the hell is that? "Global citizenship?" Do they mean you don't have to be a Canadian or be committed to Canada? And "equity"? That means equality. Does that mean all students achieve at the same level. So far, not a word about academic excellence, a commitment to literacy, numeracy, computer competence, hard work, self-discipline. Sadly, the verbose ad, a ponderous 12 inches deep by two columns wide, gets even worse: "One of the most diverse post-secondary institutions in North America, Centennial's campuses serve more than 100 ethnocultural groups, and 80 languages are spoken on campus -- a reflection of the local community and our excellence in recruiting and retaining international students." One wonders, what about your prime mission of education Canadian students? And 80 languages on campus? That sounds like the Tower of Babel. Are there efforts, amidst all this go-go eyed devotion to "diversity" to get the students to become competent in the working language of this province -- English! The New World Order jargon bubbles over from every line of the ad. We learn that the successful candidate "will be expected to set academic directions that are consistent with Centennial's Strategic Plan and Global Citizenship objectives." Global citizenship? Isn't this institution funded by and supported by the tax dollars of Canadians? Don't forget this institution is spending the money of taxpayers of Ontario. It sounds like a sub-campus of the UN. With still not a hint of an individual dedicated to academic excellence, the ad ends by pontificating: "Diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to Centennial's mission. Centennial is committed to education that places strong emphasis on global citizenship, social justice and equity. Centennial lives this value through the strength and richness that diversity brings to its workforce and welcomes contributors from equity groups including: Aboriginal Peoples, Visible Minorities, Persons with Disabilities and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Persons." One must understand that those especially welcome as applicants are members of "equity" -- that is, special privileged -- groups. Given that strong elbow in the ribs, would there be any point in any White man or woman even applying for this job? It seems that the ideal candidate would be a crippled Cree alcoholic transgendered lesbian in the making with a speech impediment. This ad is a model for the New World Order anti-White, transform-our-society subversion that is being accomplished with OUR money. For all the claptrap about "inclusion", it doesn't sound as if an applicant from the European founding/settler majority of this country would be very welcome. While universities stress theory, research and advanced learning community colleges like Centennial are supposed to stress the practical. Yet, apparently the "emphasis" is to be "on global citizenship, social justice and equity." It sounds as if the institution is stressing a strong political agenda. "Equity" -- that is, equal results -- is the enemy of excellence. To be workplace and competition ready, graduates must be competent and well trained in their discipline. Equity suggests jiggering things so that all "diverse" groups succeed equally The outrage here is that the job requiring such commitments is one that will set the tone for Centennial and all of this nonsense is funded by taxpayers' money. Is Centennial being turned into a hotbed of cultural communism? To succeed and compete in the 21st Century Canada needs discipline, competence and academic rigour not a Rainbow Coalition Group hug _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp249.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgmhhgguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider

Prison Authorities Deny Prisoners “White Supremacist” Literature

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email newsletter was sent to you in graphical HTML format. If you're seeing this version, your email program prefers plain text emails. You can read the original version online: http://ymlp276.net/zrTDVN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prison Authorities Deny Prisoners “White Supremacist” Literature We have reported on the checkered story of Michelle Erstikaitis. She has been designated a “dangerous offender” – potential life in prison – for essentially a series of minor offences. Her White Nationalist opinions, we believe, have targeted her and aggravated her situation. On November 26, 2011, she was flung into involuntary segregation, in part, because of her possession of political literature. She filed a grievance. J. McKinnon of the Grand Valley Institution for Woman answered her grievance in a December 11, 2011 response. This person wrote: “Patrol staff attempted to enter your room … to complete a non-routine reasonable grounds search … based on information received that you had KKK or White Supremacy materials and paraphernalia in your room. … Documents containing KKK and White Supremacy materials, pictures and propaganda and other concerns documentation [sic] which is [sic] security intelligence worthy were seized form your room. … In speaking with Security Intelligence Officer (SIO) on December 06 2011, it was determined that many of the photographs that were located in your cell depicted Nazi Germany, the Nuremberg Trials, Swastikas and Hitler. There was also a Star of David written in blood located on the floor of your closet. However, the SIO did affirm there was no evidence of ‘KKK material’ found in your cell as stated in the segregation report and she is unsure why this was stated. … Given that you are in an institution with many different ethnical [sic] groups, this material is identified as offensive and could have potential for jeopardizing the security of the institution.” A Security Intelligence Officer – what is that when it’s home? It sounds like a political correctness commissar. Now adults can be disciplined for possessing and can be denied “offensive” material that might upset others. One wonders whether a poster of say, Che Guevara or Malcolm X would have been deemed “offensive”, even though they are repugnant to many Whites or anti-communists. What about a pro-abortionist displaying a picture of her hideous hero Dr. Henry Morgenthaler? All rights fly out the window when people are silenced because what they say or have might be deemed “offensive” by someone. So pictures of Nazi Germany are deemed to be “security intelligence worthy.” It seems the prison had to admit its “information” that Miss Erstikaitis possessed Klan material was wrong, but she got punished anyway. _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp276.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgmhbgguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider
