The postmodern lives on meaningless, hollow concepts--readily seen from this constant re-inventing of "racism" in new terms, new concepts, new accusations. Building castles in the sky is all it is.
Chanel, was this session in fact delivered, as was reported in True North by Sue-Ann Levy, by the Kojo Institute (Kike Ojo-Thompson in particular)? That is the organization that drove Richard Bilkszto to despair. Here is the link to Levy's article: https://tnc.news/2023/10/19/levy-white-supremacy-lectures-yrdsb/ I ask because, considering that Kojo Institute's bullying (as confirmed by the decision of the WSIB that vindicated Richard) led to his stress, the organization should not have been hired by any board for anything. I would like to know if this was the case, as I'd like to approach Lecce about this.
Hey Marjorie, no, I don’t think Kike Ojo-Thompson had anything to do with this training (unless it was behind the scenes). She might have been involved in the PD day training for secondary teachers. I hope to get more info on that eventually!
I’m shocked at how captured Canada has become by critical race theory. For years I thought they were more level headed than us here in the US. I guess these things stem from the top down (cough) Trudeau. Also, Chanel, thanks for doing this work. Great coverage.
Chanel, thanks for doing this hard work. This stuff is utterly toxic. I realize this stuff is all over, though the GTA boards seem especially prone. Are you aware of any of this same level of stuff going into the OCDSB in Ottawa, and is there any evidence to that effect?
Thank you! I’ve seen similar material at the Ottawa boards, but maybe not quite as constantly intense. I think the most woke boards are TDSB, PDSB and YRDSB — the three largest boards in Ontario.
ok thank you. It appears that a lot of this stuff is being driven not by elected boards (in some cases it is), but by the school board admins, and the bureaucrats within boards. A previous Director of Education at the OCDSB sent out a CRT-infused patronizing Halloween message to parents all about cultural appropriation etc, I wrote a formal complaint to said Director, who has moved on. She was originally from Durham region, and my sense is that the current cohort of Ontario (especially the GTA) school board admins have some association with OISE, and the ideology it preaches. Its really terrible. The general resentment behind these Critical Theory based DIE policies is utterly pathological. We need to stop it.
Chanel and team, I thank you. We are assembling the Districts of VI for a November presentation. Assembling delegates and I am working on the power point. I will use your Indoctrination slides if that is ok. If you have any other suggestions for presentation to the boards to education them in short order, we welcome your knowledge. BC is a tough nut. They don't see us coming. Also if you have recommendations for a legal firm... when the time comes. I am going for the Union assembly of 'counter protest' no space for hate. I have no idea if this is against the law or not. Best, S
