2 weeks ago, the TDSB unjustly fired 2 Teachers at Bowmore. Yesterday, 8 more Teachers were suspended without pay. This is unprecedented! On Feb 3 we will rally in support and solidarity for these beloved teachers, and for the schools our students deserve!

Black History Month offers a powerful moment to honour the strength, brilliance, and lasting contributions of Black Canadians. Black history is not separate from Canada’s story; it is central to it, shaping the nation’s past, enriching its present, and inspiring its future.

This government's assault on public education is unprecedented and without merit. We are seeing the government squeeze Ontarians' public education system to the limit
New today: education minister takes over Ontario’s 2nd largest school board, puts Peel under supervision to block dismissal of 60 teachers. Calandra also giving York Catholic board 14 days to respond to financial concerns. Critics say Ford govt will use any excuse to take control

The Ford government has made a mess of Toronto schools by removing the cap on class size. Plus, why using #classsize averages per school as a formula can be deceiving: https://t.co/0RRQgSZV2J

This was never about financial management or doing what's best for students and teachers - this is about control. It's time for @fordnation and @PaulCalandra to cut the supervisor, restore our democratically elected trustees and #fundourschools!

Mr. Alexander was a leading figure in the fight for racial equity, and advocated for the equal treatment of Black Canadians. He also advocated for youth & seniors. His famous memoir “Go to School, You’re a Little Black Boy” gives insight into his thoughts on education and racism.
