Roping in Year 5 and 6 children is not "staffing". Employing children under 13 is still, I believe, against the law.
And if it relies on "volunteer" children helpers to make it viable, then it's a short step from slavery.
Do they have to be trained in food hygiene?

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

I get that this is happening in the US, and the reasons for this happening are entirely obvious and don't need restating. But why on Earth would schools in Canada want to follow down this entirely repressive and anti-intellectual path?

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

That lovely fellow next to her is Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of most of those 50 million, yet somehow not in the headline. Sure it’s an oversight. He’s also an incredibly nice person.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

A reminder of John Boyne’s own words and why decent-minded people might not wish to be on a prize list with him. He thinks women who support trans rights are “ready to pin a handmaiden down while her husband rapes her.” No one’s “cancelling” him; we just don’t want to be associated with him.
The full paragraphs for complete context. Tap to see handmaiden part. He mischaracterizes what trans rights mean, then mischaracterizes those who advocate for them as incels, indoctrinated young people, and handmaidens.
