Canada is not multicultural microscopically. Each culture and ethnicity are segregated in their own community and religious centers and bubbles. Most of them barely know their neighbors and they do not interact outside their ethnicities and religious circles. All of Toronto’s suburbs are settlements of immigrants and they are not cities. It will take a long time through new generations going through public education to create a melting pot. Private schools would be a disaster to the future of Canada because public schools are the only source to create a homogeneous society and teach Canadian values.

That is my opinion.

“Anxiety is largely responsible for the survival of the species.”

Introversion and extroversion classifications are outdated. Evolutionary Psychologists identify two biological systems that shape our emotionality:

Extroversion which is the biological system for sensitivity to rewards.

Neuroticism which is the biological system for sensitivity to threats.

We can go far if we control these two systems, and we can.

In Islam, voting is basically being vocal and active in religious arenas. When the moderate mulims didn’t “vote” (being passive and unparticipatory), the Extremists took over Islam and the Islamic agenda.

Muslims are waking up late to that.

We have promoted being vocal and aware from 2005 in IRSHAD. We have promoted departing from sectarian rhetorics and defeating the Sectarian labels. We have promoted re-reading of history and removing immunity from all holy figures and texts. We have promoted a true, honest, and objective re-examining of our Islamic doctrines and positions.

The majority of Muslims agree with our movement and identify with it. But the ones that are willing to “vote” are few. Our speakers were isolated intentionally from all local mosques and conventions and still are.

When people don’t vote, we forfeit truth, and embolden bigotry and hatred.

Always!

All the news agencies use misleading titles to attract readers. If you are not reading the full article, and only 6% do, don’t believe any title.

Congratulations Royal Oak Middle School … you became a symbol of racism, hatred, and bigotry nationwide.

Make me Dean of Students for two weeks and I will straighten it out for you.

Here is what I would do:

1. An assembly every Friday on inclusiveness and tolerance and coexistence.

2. Investigate the incidence and put every chanting student on probation for racial harassment, and require them to attend anti bullying sessions with Social Worker/Counselor.

3. Twin the school with a Mexican school and offer Spanish classes immediately.

4. Announce November as a Latino American heritage month ( in addition to Sept 15-Oct 15 National Hispanic Heritage Month)

5. Bring Immigrant speakers as guest speakers to classrooms.

6. Plan a trip to Mexico for my Senior class.

7. Coordinate with Hispanic local organizations, ACLU, and the Mexican Embassy to bring programs to school to facilitate understanding.
