Columbia quietly closes down Teachers College project that ruined countless lives

Columbia University is trying to quietly walk away from a disaster it imposed on generations of American children.

The least we can do is call out the damage done.

Just before the Labor Day weekend, Columbia announced that it’s “dissolving” the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project and sending its creator, Lucy Calkins, off on indefinite sabbatical.

All teacher’s colleges are run by degenerate commie shitbags.

The rescue of a multi-million dollar boring machine trapped beneath a west Toronto street has been delayed again, with the city warning it might not be the last set-back before the project is wrapped.

Astonishing scenes from Justin Trudeau’s flailing Liberals

The federal Liberals are in big trouble and they clearly don’t know what to do about it. But by God they’re game to try anything, not least on social media. And so it was on Wednesday afternoon that Whitby, Ont. MP Ryan Turnbull (or someone on his behalf) took to the keyboard to assail Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s housing policy.

Trudeau spews progressive gibberish

Trudeau says progressive parties must prioritize everyday needs over lofty rhetoric

“If we’re not responding to where people are [in their] daily life, then we’re not going to be connecting with them,” Trudeau told the panel, which also included Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern and former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin.

Trudeau must be so disconnected from reality that he is blind to the fact his government has turned Canada into a shithole state.
