Respect Bathurst
http://www.connexions.org/CxLibrary/Docs/CX5201-RespectBathurst.htmPublisher: Connexions Information Sharing Services, Toronto, Canada Year Published: 2001 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX5201 A protest against inviting a Harris Tory to speak at the closing of Bathurst Heights Secondary School. Abstract: - Excerpt: We are writing as current and former students and staff* of Bathurst Heights Secondary School to protest the decision to invite a prominent Progressive Conservative, Paul Godfrey, to be the keynote speaker at the school's closing ceremony. Bathurst Heights, which has played a vital role in recent years as an important adult education centre, as well as a high school, is being closed because Ontario's Progressive Conservative government has ruthlessly cut education funding in general, and funding for adult education in particular. Paul Godfrey is one of the most influential behind-the-scenes power brokers in the Harris government. As such, he is deeply complicit in this government's destructive policies, of which the closing of Bathurst Heights is one deplorable example. Subject Headings |
