Why is a school curious about my morality? Different religions have different moral codes, different cultures have different moral codes. So what would the school be teaching that this is relevant too?
it definitely doesn't belong in an english class
but i could see it being a perfectly acceptable part of a political science class or something
Because you need to think like the teachers think
so they know which kids they need to assign extra brainwashing to
if it's being graded as if there are right and wrong answers or right and wrong final results, then i'm 1000% down for this teacher being unable to teach ever again
but the article doesn't say anything like that
Id just mark everything as middle and turn it in
i think a test like this is a good way to show that there is nuance and the world isn't black and white
if it's just presented as it is
again, if it's graded, that's a huge problem
unless it was graded based on shit like, refused to participate, skipped every question, etc
with max points just being "actually sat and thought about the questions"
considering that getting the students to think about the questions is the only acceptable goal that this test could have
The halloween 'razorblade in apples'/'poisoned candy' story is just an urban legend, but in Australia: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-16/contaminated-strawberries-in-punnet-bought-in-adelaide-hills/10253528
```This latest incident comes after several reports of strawberries contaminated by pins and needles up and down the east coast of Australia.
Before this case in South Australia, six brands of strawberries — Donnybrook Berries, Love Berry, Delightful Strawberries, Oasis brands, Berry Obsession and Berry Licious — had been affected.
```
heard about that from Bearing
's wife Suggartits
The paper is not just _gone_, it's _stealthily replaced_.
If you want to see the really bad sign, imagine what happens if this becomes the norm in a decade or so.
yeah I just read that too
fucking terrible
she has a public statement pretty much just saying "nup"
hope she catches some horrible brain eating disease that will let her realize she is slowly being trapped in her body and suffers from endless pain...... if its true.
uh oh someone stepped in lettuce again
zombies
HOLY \*\*\*\*. You Brits are in for a fight. If this gets momentum...
"Because these closed forums [Facebook Groups] can be given a “secret” setting, they can be hidden away from everyone but their members. This locks out the police, intelligence services and charities that could otherwise engage with the groups and correct disinformation. This could be particularly crucial with groups where parents are told not to vaccinate their children against diseases."
"That’s why I am introducing a bill in parliament which will do just that. By establishing legal accountability for what’s published in large online forums, I believe we can force those who run these echo chambers to stamp out the evil that is currently so prominent. Social media can be a fantastic way of bringing people together – which is precisely why we need to prevent it being hijacked by those who instead wish to divide."

The poison doesn't have this long of a shelf life. If this is the connected then it's either the Russians throwing the scent off, someone working at the chemistry lab near by is fucking around (which I highly doubt coz if it had come from there in the first place then it would be on lock down while we blame the Russians.
@pratel This woman is mad. I'm not going to read the guardian but she also says something about making Mods of these forum legally response for what is said in them.
Agreed. I hear it passed first reading.
I actually found the article in a reason article. They seem to think that the real goal here might be to ban secret groups. Mark Warner (D-VA-US Senate) in the US had a similar line of thinking--and his was far scarier and far more wide-reaching
It seems it's as ad as it sounds in this case: https://reason.com/blog/2018/09/12/british-lawmaker-wants-to-ban-your-priva
I think I remember hearing about that. This should be an easy one to beat. Victims of domestic violence need these groups. Play the woman card.
Cheeres I'll give that a read.
They'll just make an exception saying only 'hate' groups are banned.
'hate' being whatever policy they don't like, such as being anti-migrant
That's where the making mods liable comes from. There's probably an easy out she would have in mind in that case.
My guess is that it looks something like NGOs or companies can operate private forums and are subject to legal scrutiny and are required to turn over logs to the police if requested.
