Community leaders remember our client’s meaningful work addressing anti-Black racism at Peel School Board. $7-million lawsuit exposes Board’s resistance to change. https://t.co/OyE1stDPho
Hungarians are rallying on social media with racist Nazi slogans calling Algerians the N-word and saying that they should be bombed like Gaza. Now tell me again how this isn't about blatant racism and Islamophobia. Purely Hitlerite nation
Kola Iluyomade left us on this day in 2021 while fighting for the marginalized @PeelSchools. 3 yrs later, @PDSBDirector and @DrGreen59 refuse to name the Centre after Kola, the leader of this struggle. @ToddSmithPC where is the accountability for the Ministry Directives?
False stories? You @DrGreen590 are the master of false stories about Black parents advocating for their children. Unless you change your behaviour soon, your legacy will be one of shame and corruption. @Sflecce@PeelSchools@IOrughu
Trustee "McCriminal" Davis chairs Decipline committee. Middle schl non- Black student calls a Black child the N-word. The student was suspended & committee rescinded the suspension. @PDSBDirector Do not normalize this, given the history of @PeelSchools @ToddSmithPC @timvining
The K.I Centre of Black Excellence was conceived by us, NOT by anyone currently at @PeelSchools. It was accepted by B.Rodriguez @TDSBDirector & adopted by @PDSBDirector. Why is @DrGreen590 sabotaging it? Why is @PDSBDirector not defending D-18 & the desire of the Black community
Directive 18 supports @PeelSchools to name the Centre after Kola Iluyomade. Why is the Board refusing? In all of our engagements with the Board, it was referred as such. @DrGreen590 has allowed is dislike for Kola & community members impede is judgements. @Sflecce@dbanner16
Here is the video of @PDSBDirector announcing the naming of the Centre of Black Excellence after Kola Iluyomade. @Sflecce, @DrGreen590 & co sabotaged this agreement. This is why the black community does not trust the leadership of the Board
Their words mean nothing!

@Retpeelteach @IOrughu@Hitch99Hitch@concernedconed @SavePeelSchools @Egyptian_Maat@TrusteeMcDonald@ShreeParadkar@PeelSchools @sangrewal1 Good conversation. We cannot ignore the role of the Trustees. One of their primary responsibilities is to evaluate and hold the Director accountable. As I recall, one of the Directives addressed their failure to do regular performance evaluations of Peter Joshua.
This from a School Board that claims they do not have the capacity to fully implement the Directives in the Ministry Report. Why get rid of those who are able to do this work unless you are not serious about dismantling anti-Black racism? @IOrughu@TrusteeMcDonald@ShreeParadkar
Poleen Grewal, Associate Director and champion of Dismantling Anti-Black Racism, was fired last night by @PeelSchools. This is an act of reprisal against Poleen, an ally of Black communities who have dared to speak out against ongoing systemic anti-Black racism in Peel Schools.
@a_twittur@IOrughu You use the classic white supremacist strategy of divide and conquer by weaponizing the Asian "model minority" myth against Black communities Shame!
More denial of racism in the wake of recent actions taken by @PeelSchools. This one uses the classic white supremacist strategy of divide and conquer by weaponizing the Asian "model minority" myth against Black communities Shame!
@IOrughu Of course it should, and has been to a large extent. But the point is racism was never an impediment to success. Asians overcame it with a strong work ethic and community values. You're pushing for short cuts and handouts for black kids other kids can't get. Not helping.
