Shake me up Judy Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The school should never have sanctioned a trip to Ghana in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Danger is everywhere. We went on a skiing trip to Austria with the school. One person broke their leg, another their wrist. Not quite rape, sure, but proper school trips were ace, and essential parts of a rounded education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in favour of the sort of risk aversion we often see nowadays, but there are school trips and school trips. This seems foolhardy to me.

the stinking enigma Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Had these kids visited a beach on their trip they would have found that they couldn't go in the water deeper than ankle height due to health and safety/insurance concerns.

Rog Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The fashionable belief that everyone from everywhere is equal is now resulting it becoming painfully clear that such is not the case. Moreover it's not simply a matter of so-called cultural differences, it's also genetic. While nature can sometimes and in the case of some individuals be modified by nurture, nevertheless that which is borne in the bone ----- That's why parents allow their kids to visit savage countries populated by mostly tribal savages. They've fall for the BS that all races are equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Very hard to know how to engage with Rog’s essentialism. He’ll claim both personal experience and all sorts of racist justifications. Societal change is a vastly more powerful instrument than genetics and explains far better the course of African people’s progress both in their homelands and elsewhere. Rog even grudgingly admits this but still wants to have and eat his racist cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to progress particularly in Sub Saharan Africa I see little progress but a great deal of reversion to tribalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
