I’m lucky I have some friends in high places who give a shit and will work hard to change things.
But generally the support for 2SLGBTQ+ people is abysmal. I’d like you to know that.
We are IN racialized communities. In your community that you fight to protect otherwise. 😔

I share resources on anti racism or racial diversity— it will get tons of traction. Tons of shares. 100s if not 1000s of people take a peek at it even if they’re not teaching the French.
I share 2SLGBTQ + things? In English? Maybe 50 people look at it.
It’s disheartening 😔

This is still happening, and will continue to happen. Don’t let it fade out of the public consciousness. #everychildmatters #trc

We are horrified by Brian Pallister & Alan Lagimodiere trying to defend Residential Schools. This system was made to violently assimilate Indigenous peoples. That a government could defend this practice, especially in light of the recoveries of unmarked graves, is appalling.

I appreciate this thread. Being an out educator for a decade+ has brought gifts & huge costs. Usually, I only share the gifts. One ugly truth of many-death threats required a safety plan at work & a quick response support plan with police. I will never be the same from the hate.

Miigwetch @BearheadWally for this thread #215children Settler allies, please read whole thread. #Indigenous folks who work in #IndigenousEd are being crushed now for all the reasons listed here – at Guelph, Ontario
THREAD - It's time to talk again, because even after #215children, there's a problem, and it seems to be building.

My heart hurts. I can't stop thinking about the 9 year old Muslim boy, whose family was killed in an Islamophobic attack yesterday in London, ON.
He will grow up without the warmth of his parents. He will grow up without his sister or grandmother.
That could have been me. – at Mississauga, Ontario

Horrific incident of #Islamophobia 💔. Conversations on hate-based systems of oppression must be seen as linked. Silos and pitting of one form of racism against another only feeds the larger narrative of Supremacy. We must fight for emancipation collectively.
London, Ont. police say they believe 4 people struck and killed Sunday were 'targeted because of their Islamic faith.' 20-year-old white man charged with 4 counts 1st-degree murder, 1 count attempted murder. Victims members of same family. Previous story: cbc.ca/1.6056238

The man who killed four innocent Muslims & orphaned one - was a Grade 8 student just 6-7 years ago. This is *why* we do the work we do in schools.
This is why conversations about race & oppression are needed. Embedded into curriculum, into instruction.
Educate.

@castleoaksps Are you wondering how you can take action to support Truth & Reconciliation in our local community? One way is to show your support for this call to action by @PDSBIndigenous
Wishing these incredible leaders all the very best in their new roles. To my Principal, Crissa Hill, I thank you for your brilliance, bravery, and leadership. You make me so proud to be an educator. Congratulations to all three of you.

37 years ago today, when Sikhs were commemorating the sacrifice of our 5th Guru, the Indian government launched a military invasion into the Harmandir Sahib Complex and 40+ gurdwaras across Punjab. We remember the 1984 #SikhGenocide & the countless lives lost. #NeverForget1984

Happy #PrideMonth!
I know it won’t be happy for everyone.
Perhaps you are struggling with your mental health. Perhaps you are not free to be who you are and love who you love.
I need you to know:
You are not alone.
You are welcome here.
You are seen.
You are loved.

Beginning Monday, May 31, the PDSB will lower flags at all buildings as a sign of collective mourning for the 215 children whose remains were found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, BC.
Flags should be lowered @peelschools and everywhere across our country. #215children #honourthechildren #nationaldayofmourning
