This article shows precisely how @Sflecce plays both sides: He tries to be for equity and Blackness publicly, but privately undermines the work. TDSB pulls controversial anti-racism teaching resource after ministry calls it divisive via @torontostar

@DesmondCole @mattgallowaycbc @RajiSourani I'm reminded of the movement in the discourse around George Floyd's murder, towards a conversation about Black activists looting and general criminalization of Blackness.

I remember seeing Senator Sinclair keynote at the Tommy Douglas Institute in 2018. The enduring understanding of that talk? His call to all education workers: "Education got us into this mess and education must get us out". A true legend & a loss for humanity. Rest in power
Indigenous Peoples and #Canada have lost a champion. The #NFB mourns the passing of @Sensincmurr (1951-2024), former Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His determination, wisdom & kindness will always be remembered →

It's long overdue for @OTTPinfo to #DivestFromWar NOW. Our pension plan $$$ should not be in any way, shape, or form connected to the devastation of Gaza, Palestine, Lebanon or elsewhere in the region. I encourage every educator to share this broadly. #ArmsEmbargoNow #OntEd
Teachers are rising up. Our pension plan, one of the largest pension plans in the world, invests in war crimes. We are refusing to be complicit. @OTPPinfo : it's time to divest. Take action alongside these teachers at #DivestFromWar #OntEd

But, as a friend points out, let us not use the kumbaya feeling as a shield for all the work required to undo racism's deep, real, and embedded impacts.

@Sflecce 10000% agreed. I would add to this that it would be helpful for the boards to still enable teacher accounts access to social media as there is a wide range of relevant, sited, and reliable resources that are helpful to utilize in teaching/learning.

@jhlm2004 @tdsb @JillDunlop1 If true, protection of these communal spaces and assets should be made a priority by all who see public education as a vital community GOOD.

We lost another elder. Louis did a LOT for this city. Rest in Power, brother.
At CAFCAN, we are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of our respected elder Louis March. Louis March, with over 40 years of dedicated community activism, was a truly inspiring figure with unwavering commitment and passion for the African Canadian community. (1 of 3)

🎯Ann. Nights like last night help me understand why my American father chose Toronto for his children to be born and raised. I would choose neither: the overtly racist Trump and his "black jobs" OR Genocide Joe's cognitive/moral decline, having enabled the erasure of Gaza 🙅🏾♂️

@Cariteacher @nigelbme @tdsb @shelleylaskin @rchernoslin @alexandralulka Read the article above; it explains why. It's necessary because we're seeing it in schools at alarming rates, and it's another reform of racism that's harmful to kids. Things that happen in the world make their way into schools; consequently, we must respond.

@Cariteacher @shelleylaskin @nigelbme @tdsb @rchernoslin @alexandralulka I'm grateful for Shelly too. She's done much for @tdsb and our city. We have collaborated in the past. I think she is principally wrong on this vote.

@shelleylaskin @Cariteacher @nigelbme @tdsb @rchernoslin @alexandralulka Shelly, you can't honestly believe that TDSB staff would accept a definition of APR that would make a supporter of Israel a racist; this insults their professionalism. I work directly w/ the kids you speak of in the abstract- your vote yesterday harms them. Plz reconsider🙏🏾

@Cariteacher @nigelbme @tdsb @shelleylaskin @rchernoslin @alexandralulka All are entitled to their personal opinions. AND students are entitled to a harassment-free learning environment. We teach kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think or think like us
