Educators attending an anti-racism conference were told by a Toronto District School Board employee to view “whiteness” as a destructive force controlling what people wear to what they eat and they were urged to “decolonize their minds” to interrupt “white dominant culture.”

The seminar, led by a TDSB bureaucrat paid over $173,000 a year, additionally taught educators that describing a parent as “angry” was a racist code word for black caregivers.

Throughout her presentation, TDSB coordinator for parent and community engagement, Michelle Munroe, who earns $173,784, relied on sweeping generalizations that cast “whiteness,” or Western cultural norms, as inherently harmful to black and racial minority parents while providing only personal anecdotes as evidence to back her claims.
