a few months here, and teach the youth himself,\u201d says Camosun spokesperson Todney Blorter. \u201cShould be safe enough, according to the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20540\"

an \u201cabsurd\u201d idea but points out that in this era of absurdity, it \u201ckinda makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it\u2019s either a post-modern take on irony delivered in the most concrete fashion, or it\u2019s just revenge,\u201d says Clover. \u201cEither way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The college has confirmed that the politicians will be unable to change the course materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis might result in some conflict when they\u2019re teaching, for example, some of the textbooks that our more radical teachers enjoy utilizing,\u201d says Blorter. \u201cI mean, Paula Grady\u2019s thoughts on government control might sound a bit odd coming out of the premier\u2019s mouth, but the entertainment factor will hopefully make students forget about the deadly
