If you’re upset about today’s announcement, please re-direct your anger and advocate for a safe September.

This includes full vaccination of teaching staff and students, mental health supports, proactive testing, access to better masks, etc.

Our students deserve it.

[Kathleen Wynne @Kathleen_Wynne]

If schools and kids had been this government’s priority, all education workers would be vaccinated, schools would have the extra staff and resources necessary, tracking and testing would have given us better data. These conditions are not in place.

We have a free resource that helps one understand about the Indian Residential School System here: https://t.co/DxqbMpPxeL

@OCDSB let’s lower the flags.

[Lucille Collard @LucilleCollard]

The @fordnation govt has voted against teaching students about the impacts of colonialism and removing systemic barriers from the education system. Their refusal to do more for our children and to bring more equity into the classroom is completely unacceptable. 👇 #onpoli

[derek brez @DerekBrez]

Instead of the “I gotcha!” mentality when it comes to evaluation, try the “I’ve got you” approach. If we teachers are tired imagine what the students feel like! #learning #onted #CompassionateTeaching

[Curtis Perry @curtisperry]

Time to take a stand, @HarveyBischof, @skirkeyosstf25. Temporary pain now or a legacy of lasting damage to public education for generations.

Hybrid learning must never be acceptable outside of a global pandemic, and neither is outsourcing to TVO.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Another good reminder the Ford government was never about protecting students and education workers, but it was solely about optics and “damage control”. #VoteFordOut2022 #onpoli #onted

Hey @ONeducation @fordnation @Sflecce !

It's time to abolish #eqao in #OntarioEducation.

Time to use that money on children's mental health supports in this province.

In a few days, I'll release a Minecraft Education world designed to teach students about Canadian history from 1914 to 1939. The world features links to videos, articles, and primary sources. @RCollishaw @OHASSTA @PlayCraftLearn

Today, as the Ontario Government voted against #PaidSickDays for the 21st time since the start of the pandemic...we were all reminded that the Premier's tears were never actually real.

#COVID19

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

#BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays.

In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 21 times since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic.

If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

I don't really care that Doug Ford dropped out of highschool or used to deal pot or that he can't use a laptop. I care very deeply that his policies have resulted in so much horrific, unnecessary loss of life. #DougFord #onpoli #COVID19Ontario

[Travis Dhanraj @Travisdhanraj]

#NEW: Ontario's #COVID19 Science table has just issued this letter outlining what will work and what won't work fighting the virus. #ONpoli

[Gurratan Singh @GurratanSingh]

Take this in:

During the most critical & deadly stage so far of Ontario’s 3rd wave, Premier Ford is literally hiding from media and the official opposition - refusing to take questions and accountability.

This is what abandoning an entire province looks like. #WhereIsDougFord

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Data obtained by the Star show that 5 higher-risk postal codes recommended by Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table were left off the final list of hot spots, while 8 lower-risk areas — most of which are in PC ridings — were included. https://t.co/twAzMVKE3U

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

As politicians discuss #PaidSickDays while my essential worker patients languish in the ICU...it's ironic that the man who can fix this inequity, has taken a (paid) day off work.

Great, now close workplaces with outbreaks like Peel is doing
