This us a great video to understand the land that we are on. Chi Miigwetch to @MsSamFernandes for finding, teaching, and incorporating into Indigenous Lit. NBE3U&C. We can all use this to learn who's traditional territory we are on.

@JullyBlack understood the assignment. She represented the language in which we should be speaking. This is walking in truth. This is allyship. The lands we have come to know as Canada, although many of us call it home, it is ON NATIVE LAND. #Landback #Canada #NBAAllStar

Talk of “divisiveness” by some on antiracist & equity education. Europeans created social construct of race to justify enslavement, colonialism, racial division & hierarchy that persists today. Antiracist, anti-oppression education is about inclusion & decentering Eurocentricity

#OntEd After the events of this week if you want to be a part of meaningful action to support #reconciliation & justice, here’s something you can do…Teach about the doctrine of discovery as the foundation for genocide,racism, and dispossession. Ps It’s already in the curriculum.

Canada Day is a complex moment for many. It’s completely valid to be inspired by Canada’s potential, disgusted by its past, and uneasy by its present direction. Indifference and wilful ignorance is a luxury many Canadians cannot afford, especially today.

Catholic School Board In Ontario Just Took The Term Anti-Black Racism Out Of Its Anti-Racism Policy. In Texas they want to change slavery to “involuntary relocation” in curriculum docs. These are harmful policies. Educators must not remain silent #onted byblacks.com/opinion/3161-a-…

Just found out a school (or schools?) in Halton, for the Grade 9 curriculum, are now replacing ROMEO & JULIET with two of my YA plays, GIRL WHO LOVED HER HORSES/BOY IN THE TREEHOUSE.
So delighted and honoured.
Still, I'm a big fan of R & J but mine have a happier ending.

A country more willing to ban books for fear of progress than to ban weapons for fear of losing profit is a country with no soul.
