Are they really teaching 'spirituality' in schools in Canada?

Seems like it was the Magicians against the Free Thinkers. Of course Steinmeyer is a magician.. And he admits that Thurston was trapped. He couldn't name any notable mediums he had defeated and his attempt to duplicate a seance ghost was a total joke. In fact at the end Thurston gives a huge disclaimer .. Like "Boy, I'd really take these guys to the cleaners but I don't want to lose any friends or hurt their feelings" ..RIGHT!!!!!!

On Mar 9, 2015, tommy wrote: Depends on what you mean, tommy. Alan Watt is complaining about a specific program that has been in place in Quebec since 2008. (BTW education is a provincial matter in Canada, so each province and territory has the power to create its own curriculum and to manage the entire public education system.) Watt seems to be making it up as he goes along, interpreting phrases he doesn't understand in a way that supports his rant against--well, I'm not sure what. On one hand, we do have spiritual education in most of Canada, as parents have a right to place their children in Roman Catholic schools in most jurisdictions (historical reasons, of course). So any child in a Roman Catholic school with undertake the Catechism and will have an education that is informed by Catholic doctrine and spirituality. Also, in most jurisdictions, private and charter schools can receive public funds, and these are often organized on religious principles. The funding is contingent on following approved curricula, but other material may be introduced. The object of Watt's attack is the Ethics and Religious Culture program in Quebec. (Programme Éthique et culture religieuse for the Francophone majority). Quote:
The school's mission is to instruct, socialize and provide qualifications. To accomplish this, it must broaden horizons, develop talents and provide the tools needed for each individual to live with others as a self-actualized, free and responsible adult. Québec society is undergoing change: societal challenges are as much an issue for urban centres as for rural regions; mentalities are evolving in keeping with a multitude of influences; values and convictions are being asserted with greater force; questions are constantly being raised. The school must therefore adjust to this transformation. It is within this context that the new Ethics and Religious Culture program is being offered to all elementary and secondary school students. This program will replace the Catholic Religious and Moral Instruction, Protestant Moral and Religious Education, and Moral Education programs that have been taught until now. The new program, which reflects the preference of the majority of Quebeckers, will make it possible to offer the same education to all Québec students while respecting the freedom of conscience and religion of parents, students and teachers. Doesn't look too awful to me. But I haven't looked at the details of the course.

Radio Magic Danny ... and hypnotizing people over it ... just kidding about the hypnosis ..since most people don't think it's real anyway...
That's what I do when I'm not lecturing on the Houdini Code.... or singing and dancing.

There is a cool little art deco spot in Zurich called Houdini bar/cinema.

A friend shared this video about the "Dunning-Kruger effect" with me today. It's only a little over seven minutes and is a very enlightening discussion about people who are too stupid to know they are stupid and the illusory superiority this gives them.
