Do They Still Teach Civics...

Civics

I believe Civics is a mandatory course in high school in this country, but apparently the curriculum in this class doesn't teach children about basic respect for the institutions of this country...
When Jeremy Dyer was selected to represent his province because of his human rights art, he had no idea he'd find himself in line to shake Prime Minister Stephen Harper's hand.
The notion was an affront to Dyer, an activist who vehemently disagrees with many of Harper's policies.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were both in attendance, as the Queen unveiled a cornerstone to the museum.
Then, standing in front of cameras alongside his peers, Dyer heard rumblings the prime minister was en route.
“I didn't know until literally minutes before,” said the Memorial University student. “I was pretty outraged that he was going to be there... I told them I would politely decline to shake his hand if he attempted.”
However one feels about the man, one should at very least respect the Office.
Of course, this failure of basic manners can only be in part from the influence of the socialist school system.  The main failure belongs with this boy's parents.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
