Militarizing OISE

My seemingly 'paranoid' concerns about Canada-U.S. relations, global politics, and the environment, are often confirmed by new developments, such as this one:

Protest Against Militarization of OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education)

OISE/IKIT/UT intends to partner for the first time with the military and a corporate military contractor in a project that includes public schools. We have won a moratorium on this partnership right now, but it won’t last. We must make this partnership issue public. OISE/UT Administration have no intentions to stop its partnership with the military-industrial complex.

STOP WAR AT ITS ROOTS – KEEP THE MILITARY OUT OF OISE AND OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
