13 % de non-vaccinés ?… Plutôt 24 % !

On a beaucoup parlé des 13% de non-vaccinés. C'est plus que ça.

Le Québec compte un million de 11 ans et moins.

Lorsqu’on les inclut, les «zéro dose» représentent 24% de la population.

Et la proportion ayant reçu au moins une dose passe de 87% à 76%.https://t.co/DmMp8aepXB

Les livres d’Aristote devraient-ils être brûlés et interdits?

Les livres d’Aristote devraient-ils être brûlés et interdits? On y trouve en effet une mauvaise conception de la femme selon nos valeurs actuelles et l’esclavage y est normalisé.

L’alternative est d’enseigner à nos enfants à le reconnaître et à faire la part des choses.
