Critical thinking starts with getting your facts straight. The mute and block buttons don't change the facts.

"The reason to extend love, is everyone wants to feel heard" ... "instead of reacting with anger and contempt, to try and understand where they're coming from" ... "she doesn't tell them they're stupid, she doesn't tell them they're ignorant, she doesn't tell them they're racist"

[Fuuse @Fuuse]

Leadership guru @SimonSinek cites @Deeyah_Khan's approach in ‘White Right: Meeting the Enemy’ to illustrate the power of showing love to people you disagree with and making them feel heard.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

[NASA @NASA]

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

📰A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact. Link ⬇️ /1

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

@AbJrogg @SunstrumPaul Which other methods do you have in mind?

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Lol, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca That violates UNCRC 28.1(a) and 29.2.

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca I think it's pretty clear that you don't care about the human rights of specific children and their parents.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Not according to those articles which puts responsibility on the state.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Yes, those schools will fulfill all three rights, but if a parent exercises their right under UDHR 26.3, not fully funding that child legally violates UNCRC 28.1(a).

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca If you don't fund private schools, you will end up violating 1 of these 3 clauses: UDHR 26.3, UNCRC 28.1(a), or UNCRC 29.2.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 26 in conjunction with all the clauses from U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child Articles 28 and 29.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Parents have a prior human right to exclude them from that system. Governments have an obligation to fulfill that child's right to a funded education while also respecting the right of the parents, to the extent that provincial standards allow.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca But that excludes those who do not attend that system. Children do not have the autonomy to choose where they attend, it is the parents and government who jointly choose for them. Their right to a funded education is not conditional upon who provides that education for them.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca Only if it's not done on an equitable basis. I would consider tuition to be a violation, however, eliminating public funding is regressive to fulfilling those rights. Eliminating tuition is progressive to fulfilling those rights.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca They are one part of the system, no more or less important than other parts. Those alone cannot meet the universally declared rights as only having those to the exclusion of others actually violates those rights.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@AbJrogg @SunstrumPaul So like this?:

[Tesla @Tesla]

The entire Earth can be powered by sustainable energy with tech that exists today

Large-scale energy storage (Megapack / Megablock)

And home batteries (Powerwall)
– 1M installed
– Can work together in a virtual power plant to act as a large, flexible power plant that supports the grid

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca That's not the universally recognized right. The right is that every child has a right to fully funded education (regardless of provider) that meets government standards.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca I think it's pretty clear that you don't care about the human rights of specific children and their parents.

[Andrew Chu @_Andrew_Chu_]

@jo44527486 @Loricatty @rankandfileca That would be stealing dollars from every child that attends private school. Every child in Alberta (worldwide actually) has a universally recognized human right to publicly funded education that meets provincial standards.
