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.
Melanie Bennet@realfinkledusty

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.

If the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is opposed to hate, what would endorsement look like? And what is hate? On January 11th, witness a compelling screening of 'The Hate Network'—a provocative documentary that asks a simple but urgent question: Is Canada still a free country? open.substack.com/pub/empowrconn…

Comfort and joy are good things. Peace is part of the gift of Christmas. But they are not the whole story—even if they are repeated while the harder truths are overlooked or quietly passed over. 🕯️May there be a renewed excitement in celebrating our Lord Jesus—the One who stepped into darkness to bring everlasting light—for us all. Wishing you and your families a truly joyful and hope-filled Christmas that brings with it an unwavering faith and everlasting freedom for this coming new year and all the years to come. open.substack.com/pub/empowrconn…

ooof. If you had asked me last year, I would have said yes! Now: NO! Currently, our PIC chair acts as a gatekeeper. And most of our PIC, as far as we see, are completely falling in line with doing the board's will. No accountability. No transparency. No choice. open.substack.com/pub/empowrconn…

But THEN, at the next meeting, the Director wanted to memory-hole his attempted interference. And what's worse, the PIC committee agreed to the cover up! The note below has been officially scrubbed from the minutes of the Sept 25 PIC meeting. wrdsb.ca/pic/minutes-an…

First, the WRDSB Director of Education demanded that the Parent Involvement Committee (parent volunteers) cannot record in the official minutes that a member objected to a land acknowledgement.

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will surely be found out. When will @wrdsb corporation realize that lies have a short life expectancy? The truth will live forever. @EM_POWR

"The report clearly shows why the Ontario government was able to pass a law recently, giving itself significantly more control over school boards, with barely a peep of protest from the public." @DamatoRecord ✔️ therecord.com/opinion/column…
