1960s children preparing to safely view the solar eclipse at schools.

Now, in Canada, we are keeping students inside, dismissing them early so the schools aren’t “liable”, and forbidding them to safely view a natural phenomenon.

There are so many things wrong with this.

And school boards wonder why parents are fed up?

My favourite part is if you plan on taking a full day of work off, please let us know your kid will be staying home. Otherwise we are just letting them loose into chaos with no buses

Beyond ridiculous

If only there was some sort of lesson that could be taught around a strange natural phenomenon

If only…..a lesson about responsibility and safety, a lesson about constructing proper safety equipment, a few more lessons about why a solar eclipse happens, a lesson afterwards about everything we have learned through the process…..imagine, if you will, a proper immersive education.

Oh but don’t worry, we will be able to do the same thing with Apples new Vision Pro, simulate the experience, and none of the kids will go blind!

This definitely caused permanent damage for them

Why am I not surprised the far-right doesn't care about child safety?

First, an eclipse could blind students who stare at it for too long, without proper eye protection.

Second, most drunk driving incidents occur when it is dark out. During the eclipse it'll be dark outside. Do you want the kids to be at a higher risk of a drunk driving incident?

This is why the school is taking the proactive step of cancelling buses, due to the increased chances of drivers drinking and driving.

Lastly, the darkness outside will require the school to turn on more lights indoor, increasing the electricity usage. This will draatically increase the CO2 released in the atmosphere. In 100 years, this could have a devastating impact on the students.

You will pledge allegiance to Safetyism, and you will be happy.
