The @tdsb must be called out for their hypocrisy and uneven application of their own policies. A field trip schedule for this week plans to visit Chabad on Bayview. This Chabad is actively inviting and celebrating the IDF during a genocide in Palestine.
My Jewish grandparents survived the Nazi Holocaust and made it to relative safety in a displaced persons camp. In 1946 they gave birth to my aunt Miriam, just two weeks before Abella in the same camp she was born in. I’ve often wondered what else we have in common. 🧵#cdnpoli

This is what the new climate change denialism looks like.
Too bad so many indigenous girls may never get there because of the policies you continue to implement and your fighting in court against them. If you only would accept the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal & its 9 Orders, that would be « so so good » too! #StopTheDiscrimination
