The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a rise in racially motivated attacks against Asians which can impact the mental well-being of students and staff of Asian descent. Be kind and compassionate and let’s #StopAntiAsianRacism.

Racism is racism, whether it be anti-Black or anti-Asian. We condemn the cowardly acts of violence in Atlanta and pray for the victims of this tragedy. Silence is not an option. @DPCDSBSchools @OECTAProv

#ETFO, on increasing anti-Asian violence & Atlanta shootings

“The resurfacing of anti-Asian discrimination has deep historical, systemic & colonial roots...We must continue to raise awareness, confront & push for action to eliminate all forms of racism & violence.” #onted #onlab

February may be #BlackHistoryMonth, but let’s all consider the contributions of Canadian Black history throughout the year. Here are some resources to help your school community engage in meaningful conversation, engagement, and action.

@OECTAProv We also celebrate these accomplishments and contributions, but you should consider capitalizing "Black" when referring to a group of people with a shared experience.

[Black Teachers Association of DPCDSB @BLKteachDPCDSB]

Let's take this #BlackHistoryMonth to gain perspective, learn and unlearn the history of Black Canadians. Most importantly, this learning doesn't need to end on Feb 28th. @DPEquity @DPCDSBSchools

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Too often, lesson plans surrounding Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy fail to move beyond “I Have a Dream.” These resources and suggestions can help you teach the depth and complexity of the movement he helped to lead. #MLKDay

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

On this #MLKDay we are reminded of Dr.King's pursuit for racial and economic justice.

His words and actions are powerful reminders that give us pause to consider and guide our actions today and on every day!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us of the power of non-violent civil disobedience and protest. Simultaneously, we condemn the actions of the hate-filled terrorists who attacked Washington on Jan 6th. Silence is not an option. @OECTAProv @onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

There is much discussion about the pro-Trump actions on Jan 6 in Washington, but we only have one thing to say.

We must name it and speak out against white supremacy and white privilege. READ ETFO's statement https://t.co/541fI5674A

@OECTAProv It has been extremely difficult for teachers during this time. Add racial injustice and systemic racism on top of these issues to understand the challenges that Black teachers face in 2020.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

There are 300+ White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi groups operating in Canada.

Today @nccm, @WorldSikhOrg, @antihateca and I called on Justin Trudeau to establish a national action plan to dismantle them.

Canadians have a right to feel safe.
