Over the past year, the OHRC has met with its Commissioners, partners, stakeholders, education officials, community organizations and @ONeducation on issues pertaining to anti-Black racism in all of Ontario’s publicly-funded education systems.

The OHRC is committed to a long-term, Ontario-wide process that will hold all duty-holders accountable for eliminating anti-Black racism in publicly-funded education systems.

We were made aware that an internal memo was shared about @HWDSB trustees selecting a new Director by the end of June. This reeks of using the power of office to make an important decision as a last move. These trustees lost the community’s trust and are well aware of it!

If you're at a 'table' with a Black woman & you notice that her questions, ideas, & concerns are actively & repeatedly ignored, *do* something, *say* something, *interrupt* what is going on. (If you're not sure what she wants done, ask her)
Leaving us hanging is complicity.

LIVE: There is no justification for @WCDSBNewswire to call the Police on a 4 year old Black boy. The Principal has just announced that staff participated in 11 “CONTAINMENTS” of a 4 year old Black child… Containments.. like on the slave ships.

We are fed up with the Anti-Black racism on display @SCDSB_Schools. This board is not safe for Black children. In a month of school, we’ve dealt with multiple instances of children called the N-word and a drawing of a noose in child’s school bag. Administration is ill equipped.

When talking about staff and student well-being, we have to talk about the ‘stress’ oppressive systems put on people. We can’t journal or deep breathe away racism, ableism, homo/trans/biphobia. Notice and name. Disrupt.

#thisiswhywemarch we are marching for the lives of our Black children. @fordnation cowardly removed language highlighting racism in the classroom from Ontario’s math curriculum. We will not stop fighting for our kids. #marchwithus August 7, 2021 at 1pm.
