The Waterloo Region District School Board is encouraging racial and identity-based segregation among its staff in the name of equity and human rights, according to an internal email.
When I came to Canada I had no trouble assimilating in Canada rules or traditions. At no time did I or any of my siblings expect Canada or Canadians to change to my way of life. This is total BS by a bunch of clueless people.
I sometimes feel sad that I don't and won't have any grandkids. When I hear garbage like this going on I'm glad I don't. I do feel very badly for you and others who are faced with this. Such a sorry state our education system is in. Just STFU and teach kids the skills they will need.
So from demanding inclusion for blacks and other minorities (which was necessary) in the 60’s, now back to division. How far we’ve come! Sarcasm intended.
Duly noted and sarcasm appreciated. The exact opposite driven into our skulls years ago. Funny isn’t it, seems like the “minorities” want it back to the way it supposedly was but never was.
Another step to creating further division and the promotion of race based discrimination. All the years of struggle to tear down barriers, now being resurrected in the name of progress. What a sad warped world. When will the grown-ups with some common sense regain control. It's time to stand up and be counted, if this is happening in your community make some noise!
We DO have choices people. We CAN elect better school boards. We can send our kids to private schools, although more might need to be non-sectarian. A few of us CAN home-school. We CAN get involved. We CAN even elect better political leaders. We CAN make segregation by identity politics illegal. Therefore, and by so doing, we CAN replace disingenuous DEI with meaningful Meritocracy. We CAN revert back from ideological indoctrination and brainwashing to learning how to read and write in order to communicate articulately, and ultimately to master Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (aka STEAM), and prepare our kids for post secondary education with imparted critical thinking skills. ALL of which we USED TO DO in our public school system.
What is wrong with these people? They "apparently" hate slavery, but it looks like that's where we're going - except that it's everyone but Blacks who will become slaves. This is insane!!
The ministry loves this and has special funds to encourage these things. If you disapprove, I suggest you include the MoE in your strongly worded letters.
Why does the school want everyone put in their own box? How does that help anyone? As a youngster we never looked at anyone as different, they were just someone new to play with. My own kids did not notice that someone was a different culture. When they said they were playing with the brown kid, they were talking about the kid with the brown jacket. They also played with a blue kid or green one. Life was simpler and everyone was happier.
Get these Communnists out of the Schools and away from students. Stop brainwashing them to ruin their lives.
Race-baiters in the school system get promoted. Critics of DEI racism are demoted or fired.
Disgusting behaviour deserves NO recognition!! Make mental note saying nothing Communists won’t go away irregardless :(

You are definitely the kind of immigrant Canada wants.
Not clueless, Len, but they clearly are racist haters
How about we set up an organization of concerned parents to sit in classrooms to actually observe what is being taught in our schools…my hands up.
If my kids were in school now that's what I'd advocate for.
My great granddaughter is just starting school this year…when I read this type of ‘Orwellian’ adoption of brain washing I worry for her future.
you should....

My hand is up as well.
Not permitted. Privacy

Performance art at its most harmful.

This particular board is becoming almost as notorious as the TDSB... Perhaps even worse.
... AND YET ...
From Doug Fraud and gang...
NOTHING.
Excellent investigative reporting, Melanie. Thanks.
The Waterloo District School Board is out of control and needs to be dismantled.
Another day, another insane horror story. It's getting damn difficult to constantly see our country racing to oblivion.

I’m sad to inform you that private schools are no better.
That’s an eye opener statement…
Thank you for hard work. informing us of what’s really happening in the school system.
Separation and isolation as a gateway to inclusion. I’m still trying to to figure it out but it must create “employment “ for group leaders.
Cults obviously in 2025 carrying pitchforks. Speak up meaning to highlight&tear down any establishment. Call UR MP and local newsletters & paper(s)!!!

Agree. Also think calling someone brown when they are is not racist. It's what they are.
They want us divided.
