In Minister Calandra’s December letter to parents, “Our students deserve better results and stronger outcomes, especially in reading,writing and math.” and “Our responsibility is to do everything possible to boost student achievement.”
Today, he canceled TCDSB reading programs!
The first ring of the bell will be at a different time for students at several Catholic elementary schools next fall - one of several changes, including cuts to language and reading programs, recently announced. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/…
We are upset with those teachers and are glad they've been fired, but that doesn't mean we all need to be reprimanded. It's similar to keeping the whole class in for recess because one or two students do something inappropriate. We don't practice collective punishment.

Don't let @PaulCalandra fool you - this year's education budget does not keep up with rising inflation and is effectively yet another #onted budget cut.
Today, our government released
#ONBudget2026!: A Plan to Protect
Ontario - Our government continues to
deliver on its plan to lower costs for
workers and businesses, while keeping
life affordable for families through
targeted investments in key public
services.

And there doesn't seem to be any bias whatsoever in the cases that were selected to be brought forward by the CAEF at all.

🚨 What I don’t understand is why Doug Ford and Paul Calandra are already threatening teachers and students across Ontario over graduation speeches that haven’t even happened yet.
They’re warning valedictorians and teachers: watch what you say, or we’ll invoke the Education Act.
Students can’t use their voices at their own graduation?
Meanwhile, police officers are under investigation and Ford’s entire caucus is silent. Crickets.
Whose side is he on?
Clearly not the kids. Clearly not education.
This is not leadership it’s control.
Share if you’re done with politicians muzzling our students.
Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra is refusing to apologize for banning political views at graduation ceremonies.
No climate justice.
No Indigenous rights.
No anti-racism.
Just “celebrate” in silence while he polices what our kids can hear.
This isn’t neutrality it’s censorship.
Graduations belong to students, not Doug Ford’s government.
Tell me you want a public that can't read well enough to catch your BS without telling me... #onted

PSA for @PaulCalandra:
Teachers have professionalism which is why your diabolical speech wasn’t published as you seem to want. Pieces of it have been shared, and teachers have been responding to it and your letter with anger and disbelief. YOU are not respected.

Let me tell you something @PaulCalandra When my daughter graduated in 2024 I had to sit through speeches from both @annarobertsmp AND @Sflecce talking about what a wonderful job their parties are doing for this province. Why is their bullshit propaganda OK for attendees?

Across the province this Saturday, March 28 there are ‘Fight Ford’ protests planned in dozens of Ontario communities. One organizer said, rallies are happening because residents are “tired of his policies that ignore the input of experts and thousands of diverse citizens.” Locations are below. #onpoli insidehalton.com/news/fight-… via @InsideHalton

Hey Ontario parents:
Everyone remember NOW that all the education unions started asking to begin bargaining on **March 2nd**. If we face strikes this year, it will be entirely on the government and their refusal to come to the table.
#onted #onpoli #shufflepaul
Ontario’s education unions are united.
Ontario's publicly funded education system is in crisis and the government’s proposed budget, which fails students, teachers, and education workers yet again, will only exacerbate the situation.
We have called for early bargaining and are ready to work toward real solutions. The government must now come to the table ready to do the same.
Our focus remains on what matters most: improving learning and working conditions in Ontario’s schools so every student can succeed.
