Education minister Alan Carpenter is in trouble for ‘swearing’.
The issue at stake is whether kids from lower socio economic backgrounds are less likely to do well at school. Some school principals have been using this as a reason for poor TEE performance.
Mr C has told them this is ‘bullshit’ and that he would ‘kick the arse’ of any principal who held that view.
He has refused to apologise for his choice of words and has copped a barrage from everyone.
Why is it ok for everyone else to use similar words but not Alan Carpenter? Is it ok for us but not for him?…
Why have we missed the point of his comment?
Why do people who use much more colourful language get offended when a public figure makes a bold statement like this?
