Don Cherry was 'FIRED/DISMISSED' from Rogers Sportsnet due to comments about calling immigrants "YOU PEOPLE" and the importance about why "THOSE PEOPLE" should wear poppies! He has also made many rude remarks towards french people.
The Premiere of Quebec, Francois Legault, stated, "now I could watch hockey in English so I don't have to listen to Don Cherry insult Quebecers."
Should people be FREE to express their opinions even if they are hurtful?
What sort of tolerance do you have towards people who insult/humiliate others?
Explain.

Last week was Digital Citizenship Week.
An important part of my English class is to make you aware of what you post on-line and what it means to be a good digital citizen. Being a good digital citizen includes:
- being aware of your digital footprints;
- demonstrating safe and respectful online etiquette;
- not cyber-bullying, sexting, or posting inappropriate photos and/or videos,
- making important decisions about what to post to social media sites; and,
- not downloading or uploading inappropriate content
For this blog, I would like you to CREATE an important Digital Citizenship message using MEMES!
A meme in a generic message about a behaviour that is passed around on-line.
Using makeameme.org you will have to create a MEME about being a GOOD Digital Citizen. You could share or e-mail me (gkatz@lbpearson.ca) the meme and then post your explanation about the meme on the blog site.
Have Fun!
