“Girl, 9, accused of being trans at Kelowna track meet”

This is where anti-trans hate leads. It is an attack on all forms of gender non-conformity, ending in the re-imposition of regressive gender norms and threatening progress on women’s rights. https://t.co/cF3wpau0nJ

My name is William Donald Brady Darling. I go by Don, in this case would the minister not allow that to happen if I was in school? Can you see how ridiculous this Anti LGBTQ Team Higgs attack is? The Team Higgs Caucus has lost its way. #TeamHiggs https://t.co/eVDwY3fpqB

There is going to be a rally held at the Legislature this Saturday May 13 from 1-3 in support of Policy 713 and creating safe inclusive space in schools for LGBTQIA2S+ students. This is a human right that the government now wants to claw back. Join us!

High praise for @GeorgeStreetMS on a fabulous, professional and entertaining performance of #suessical. Your students are to be congratulated for the many hours of dedication that goes into such a production. @ASD_West

[Sarah💜 @simplesarahbear]

Well, today is heating up for @pcnbca in the worst way possible for them. If people aren't talking about the level of corruption by the Higgs government at their supper table, then we just need to do a better job at getting the necessary info out.

From @deonandan, an epidemiologist, whose Twitter is private but who asks that this be shared. I BEG YOU TO RETWEET, far and wide. But these folks especially need to see it. @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP @PublicHealthON @SMDhealthunit

Canadian Parents for French NB is alleging that a pilot program has replaced the French Immersion program at Maplehurst middle school in Moncton for the last two years.

They say students have been getting 25% of teaching in French rather than 75%.

@readBTLbooks @CHEA_ACHE So honoured to receive this award at the recent @CHEA_ACHE conference in Victoria. Always great to work with @readBTLbooks.

French Immersion in NB is on the chopping block, again. In 2021-22, over 93% of NB students in FI ranked intermediate or above.

Not sure how to help? Use your voice & join us in opposing these changes & asking for data-informed policy for our FI program: https://t.co/SSiyIq1M0G

[Haley (Covid Crowd) @haleyjo261]

There are 2 kids under 19 in the hospital this week for Covid reasons.

We don’t have a PICU. We barely have paediatric services at all.

Something to consider before we send kids into questionably ventilated unmasked spaces next week.

Recommend anyone sick with #COVID19 use freely available rapid tests to confirm they are negative before leaving isolation. Ideally 2 tests 24 hours apart. The science keeps pointing to this being necessary.

If you're new here, let us introduce ourselves. We are a digital archive of feminist activism in Canada from the 1970s-1990s. We’re largely volunteer-run and depend on donations to stay active. Our rich archive is a great tool for students and teachers as well as curious minds!

[Dr. Kristina Llewellyn @krllewellyn]

Making schools less safe for children. Unbelievable that this is the state of education in Ontario. We aren’t even trying to protect children from illness and inevitable high rate of absences anymore.
