Re: “Court sides with B.C. Teachers’ Federation on bargaining,” Jan. 27.
No, Christy. No appeal.
Just implement Justice Griffin’s ruling. Your government illegally tore up teacher contracts. The judge told you to rewrite the legislation and fix the problem.
You refused, and just passed the very same law again. What were you thinking?
It is time to restore the guarantees of smaller classes and proper support for students with special needs. This is what the public wants, and what students deserve.
Give schools back the money you removed. Don’t waste a single more taxpayer dollar on continued legal appeals. The fight you started in 2002 is over. The court ruling blames your government for the harm done to the public school system for the last twelve years.
Put aside your rigid ideology and really put kids and families first.
