SCHOOLS AREN'T ENFORCING ISPA SUSPENSIONS: The WRDSB won't—probably because it can't—suspend students on behalf of Public Health. Read about it in our latest substack (link in reply).

I see absolutely no reason why this information should not be made public as part of each school board's annual disclosure, freely available for all to review. Citizens should NOT pay twice; once to pay for the education system and again to know what they're spending our money on.

Full disclosure: A list of DEI training delivered by the York Region District School Board @YRDSB between 2021 and 2024, as disclosed via FOI 2025-019. This may or may not be an exhaustive list. While most of the sessions were delivered in-house, 28 sessions were delivered by outside consultants for a total cost of $86,110.30. The consultant spending disclosed from this board is on the lower side compared to other boards, however the volume is substantial.

This "Freedom to Read" week, @jowilliams293 outlines how 'decolonizing' means "rooting out dead white men" and focusing on identity over content. Students are being deprived of the best that's been thought and said, and instead subjected to a UN-inflected "political experience".

Because progressive education is future-oriented towards a utopian society, basic skills like reading are left to parents while teachers encroach on the parental role of imparting values. Thank you Joanna for your thoughtful insights.

Public schools present our children with unquestionable sacred truths. We can equip our kids to be braver, to test the waters. And help teachers appreciate that we want to raise critical thinkers. Thank you Sasha for this wonderful conversation.

When parent of Waterloo Region, @FatherTodor asked Ontario’s Ministry of Education whether schools were steering children toward medical gender transitions, officials didn’t investigate his claims, but instead discussed how to make him go away. @EM_POWR

1/ Ontario school boards are opening parent “support offices,” but how serious is the ministry of education about parental engagement? Internal emails show ministry bureaucrats are rather enthusiastic about findings ways to “get rid” of parents they label “hateful” for asking questions the wrong questions.

... Why hasn't @wrdsb been looked at, @PaulCalandra? The former director of education was making more than Premier @fordnation! And the trustees who have defended Jeewan Chanicka while vilifying discerning parents remain at the decision table. Axe the frauds, not the actual representatives of we, the people. @EM_POWR
Paul Calandra@PaulCalandra

As Minister of Education, my priority is straightforward: ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.  Supervision was put in place at six boards because trustees were not delivering the outcomes students deserve.
