Thanks to all the cutbacks due to a lack of funding, students do not have the special program to be in that they so desperately need to be in. Teachers and education workers are feeling burned out, frustrated, even scared at times
REMINDER: The LCBO is owned by YOU and ME and makes YOU and ME - 2.5 Billion a year. Ford wants to give that money away to his wealthy friends like Galen Weston. You OK with that theft? #lcbostrike@OPSEU
With @ETFOeducators watching from the gallery, Lecce responded to questions about growing levels of violence in schools with a reannouncement on cellphone bans from 2019.
This Minister never fails to show how out of touch he is with the state of public education.

@Sflecce@fordnation We want kids to be able to go to school and learn too, @Sflecce. Just like we want teachers to feel safe and supported at their workplaces. But look at these stories: https://t.co/j4JOa0eyMY

Ontario is a place where everyone should be free to wear whatever piece of clothing proudly reflects their heritage. Our legislature should be no different. 🧵
