The MUT does not approve or back the hunting exhibition in schools

Jan 29 2023

The Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) believes that an exhibition on hunting in schools will never counteract all the positive work carried out by educators and schools towards a culture of conservation and respect of all living species.

In a press statement, the union believes that since only education can bring about positive changes, schools cannot ignore controversial themes such as hunting. “No static exhibition promoting hunting will influence students who are used to classroom discussions and practices promoting respect towards nature and its conservation.”, said the MUT.

The MUT invited educators and schools to continue to showcase the real effects of hunting whilst promoting the message towards the conservation of nature and respect of all living species. The MUT believes that all organizations which work towards the conservation of nature should be given the same platform by the Education Ministry to promote their work in schools.

Later, the union issued a clarification following the misinterpretations of its position regarding the hunting exhibition and clearly stated that it does not approve or back the hunting exhibition in schools.

The MUT continued saying that tt has always condemned any killing of living species and its promotion in schools and that the union has always supported the work carried out to conserve nature and living species and urges educators to pursue with their teaching in schools to show the real effects of hunting.

Youtube sensation Mr.Beast cures 1,000 people’s blindness

Jan 29 2023

In his latest YouTube video, online sensation Mr.Beast showed how he cured 1,000 people’s blindness by sponsoring their surgery.

As expected, the update went viral on the social media platform, with thousands of community members sharing heartfelt comments.

The Youtube sensation also explained how the surgical procedure worked that helped people regain their vision; “If you’re wondering how the surgery allows people to see again, it’s because the lens in their eyes is so cloudy that they can’t see through it. So the surgeon uses a tiny vacuum to suck up the clouded lens. And replace it with an artificial one. The surgery is that simple! They can see again.”

According to doctors, over half the blindness in the world is curable through a ten minute surgery but unfortunately not everyone has the means for this operation.

Mr.Beast also gave many of the patients cash gifts on top of their surgery.

Jimmy is a popular YouTuber who surpassed Felix “PewDiePie” to become the platform’s most-subscribed-to content creator. He is also known for his philanthropic work
