Kelly Lamrock: I won’t let the facts get in the way. My mind is made up.

If you wanted to enroll your child in early French Immersion this September, you will not be able to do it in New Brunswick, thanks to Kelly Lamrock, Education Minister and the Provincial Liberal Government.

This decision was based on statistical data presented in the Croll and Lee Report, which showed a significant difference in the % dropout rate of early vs late immersion. Problem was, that once this data had been reviewed by statistical experts, showing that the numbers used were wrong, Lamrock went ahead with the change anyway.

In fact Lamrock had told numerous people and organizations that he had no intention of doing this. Mr. Lamrock, that is known as a fib. We hold our children accountable for such things. What are you trying to teach youth? You should be ashamed of yourself for making decisions without doing your homework. You obviously have no concept of math or statistical analysis.

Mr. Lamrock, either live up to your word or resign. You have misled the people of New Brunswick by saying one thing and then doing the complete opposite!
