So our new education minister suggests with the cutbacks to the schools sports programs, the students instead of participating in organized team sports, walk, dance and play in the park to get in shape. This sounds to me like "Marie Antoinette, let them eat cake."

Minister, I have a message for you, perhaps one should keep their mouth shut and let people assume you are stupid, than open it and remove all doubt.
