Well that debate was short lived

The District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) has announced the opening of a school to which it would transport low-income students, exclusively, from the regiong to attend. The school would, "provide breakfast and lunch as well as offer after-school programs, in addition to preparing students to be the first in their family to attend college or university." DSBN says it's doing this because "the current system wasn't serving poor children well."

A controversial idea to be sure and one that was bound to stir up debate. As it should. That debate, however, was effectively neuteured by NDP MPP Peter Kormos when he described the plan as "education apartheid." Nice. He might next consider comparing the minister of education to Hitler. It would be just as apt and useful to the public discourse.
