For the sake of all children, today we remember Kola Iluyomade.
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?

PDSB returns to being an unapologetically racist school system. Shameful if we let them do this.
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 The student was suspended & committee rescinded the suspension.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

Such betrayal
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!

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!
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.

White supremacy once again asserts itself to maintain anti-Black racism in the education system and beyond. #NotYourScapegoat

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.
