One of the best examples of what is wrong with modern Canada I have seen for a while.
From the Daily Caller:
[…]
The vice principal called MacLean’s mother, Leah O’Donnell, saying that her son was involved in an incident where “he decided to ‘play hero’ and jump in.” The vice principal added that the school did not “condone heroics,” and that the proper course of action would have been to get a school administrator to handle it.
O’Donnell said, “I asked: ‘In the time it would have taken him to go get a teacher, could that kid’s throat have been slit?’ She said yes, but that’s beside the point.”
[…]
The principal of that school didn’t want “heroics” and wanted their boys grow up to become British police, like so:

The left doesn’t want anyone to get in the habit of acting in defense of themselves and others, actions like that undermine the nanny state.
