1/3 Dear White Educators, are we prepared to raise our voices against anti-Black racism and anti-Indigenous racism in the same way we have spoken out against @fordnation #unsafeseptember? Will we raise that voice for Black and Indigenous students?

The reality of so many black youth. When this article was published I had COUNTLESS people reach out to me saying that they had the EXACT SAME experience.

Don't tell me that this isn't systemic.

York Catholic District School Board is hiring a Human Rights and Equity Director - it’s easy to bury Anti-Black racism in a role like this and easier still to hire someone with no ABR knowledge or experience. Please share and apply

The simplistic one-sided narrative of Canada The Good is fuelled by anachronistic aspirations of nation-building. We need to move on. In here, great examples sent by teachers of honouring soldiers of all backgrounds: https://t.co/4w8pPlLPTt #RemembranceDay2019
