As a Canadian and with family in Canada, I know that this is not true in schools - in fact, they are referring to ONE �alternative � school called Delta Alternative.
Also Sun News is the Canadian equivalent of Fox News. It looks to shock and it is quite biased at times. I �d take with a grain of salt anything that they publish. And the one reporter is saying that it is not true of any school in mainstream education.

yes I had guessed that the reporter was very "right wing" (especially after his comments on home school)
and i questioned the veracity of his story (that �s why i said "is this story true"...) but still... in France we do have private schools but I could not imagine private schools putting such posters on classrooms � walls... and usually in private schools - since parents are paying quite a lot to put their children there - shouldn �t there be more control?

It �s not really a private school. It �s an �alternative � school. Canada does not have a lot of private schools. Alternative schools are allowed to do certain things or teach with new methods, etc that mainstream school don �t do or use.
This was a case of �principal not realising one of his teachers was off his rocker � or just not caring. Not a good excuse obviously but there you have it. Things like that could happen anywhere, obviously nobody really complained up until now. Who knows, maybe really �progressive � thinkers send their children to that school. I do not know.

�Strange � things happen quite often, I dare say. This is one of them, considering there is so much that can be taught in a classroom.I am wondering though, why are we always outraged by sex issues when so many other brutalities leave us unaffected? 
(I don �t think I made myself clear, I was referring to brutalites towards children around the world outside schools).
