Canadian School Prepares Reopening with Insanely Strict Social Distancing Rules on Cringey Video
Schoolchildren in Quebec are now re-entering school after Wuhan virus lock downs cancelled classes across Canada during the last few months.
The Canadian Press noted, however, that the students “will be subject to physical distancing, frequent handwashing and carefully co-ordinated school days spent in large part at their desks while school officials keep up with cleaning, disinfection and following public health guidelines.”
One western Quebec principal expressed her confidence in the children’s ability to adapt these new policies.
“We’re welcoming them back to a new normal, but we are welcoming them back as just our students,” declared Samantha Halpin, the principal at Eardley Elementary in Gatineau, Quebec.
“Our personalities haven’t gone out the window. We’re still going to be welcoming them with a big smile, making sure they feel safe, they feel comfortable.”
Some schools such as Halpin’s, have created videos to prepare parents and children for the post-Wuhan virus reality of “teachers donning goggles, masks and gloves; taped arrows on the floor to remind students of the two-metre distancing rule; playground equipment closed off with caution tape.”
Certain areas such as libraries, gyms, and cafeterias will be closed, while pickup and dropoffs will be subject to close monitoring
“It’s taken a lot of thought and a lot of process in terms of trying to think of absolutely every single base that we need to cover to ensure we’re welcoming our kids back with open arms while following the public health guidelines,” Halpin stated.
The video that Eardley Elementary promoted has caused a bit of an uproar Twitter.
Certain education reformers such as Corey DeAngelis, the Director of School Choice at the Reason Foundation, have posted clips from these controversial videos.

Many Americans are beginning to experiment with homeschooling, one of America’s oldest forms of alternative schooling, now that many families are under de facto house arrest in cities across the nation.
What this Quebec school offers is a sign of what our post-Wuhan virus world will likely look like.
For some parents, this may be a bridge too far and could be a major reason why they opt for different schooling methods.

Southern Baptist Convention Reverses Course on Name Change After BLP Reporting
They say they’re not changing their name.
The Southern Baptist Convention has sought to dispel reporting from Big League Politics on the organization’s planned name change, arguing that the institution isn’t formally changing its name.
To correct multiple inaccurate reports, “We Are Great Commission Baptists” is the 2021 Annual Meeting THEME.
The GCB descriptor was approved in 2012 for churches to use if it would be helpful in their local context.
The Southern Baptist Convention remains our official name.

But a close look at the American Christian church’s plans relating to its name reveal that it’s played with the idea far more seriously than they’re making it seem.
Reports of a name change first emerged in a Washington Post article published on Tuesday. SBC President JD Greear told the Post that “hundreds of churches” affiliated with the denomination had “committed” to using the phrase “Great Commission Baptist” as an alternative to the denomination’s longtime moniker. The change would come as Greear touts his support of the Black Lives Matter, although he’s been careful in pointing out he doesn’t support any formal organization related to the movement. Greear also is renaming the church he personally pastors with the term.
The SBC’s 2021 convention will also organize under the motto of “We Are Great Commission Baptists.” Sounds a lot like a name change, even if the SBC’s leadership is steadfastly maintaining it isn’t.
The name ‘Great Commission Baptist’ is theologically sound in the Christian religion, but it’s somewhat questionable that the organization’s leader appears to be emphasizing it at a moment in which political correctness is making its entryism into many Christian churches and organizations.
It seems as if the organization’s figurehead is keen to present himself as a liberal-style suburban Evangelical to the Washington Post, but he changed his tune quite quickly when the rank and file membership of Southern Baptist churches learned that he was promoting the idea of a name change.
