When will Ford purge Ontario schools of wokism?
Just because elementary and secondary school officially ends next week in Ontario does not mean that all the problems associated with an infestation of woke ideology in the province’s school boards will magically disappear.
The issues will merely be held in abeyance until school returns in the fall – the violence, the obsession with queer activism and gender ideology and a curriculum steeped in critical race theory dressed in the guise of anti-black racism.
The province’s weak education minister Stephen Lecce has stood by and allowed the most ridiculous of issues to escalate without saying enough is enough.
For example, violence is out of control in Toronto District School Board (TDSB) schools, and, at boards like the Waterloo Region District School Board, a cabal of woke trustees and the radical education director Jeewan Chanicka have done their best to cancel and intimidate parents who come to the board pleading for less woke ideology and more academics.
It has led to open letters from frustrated teachers sick and tired of trying to manage the violence with little help from their administrators, who spend their time trying to indoctrinate staff.
These letters are a first.
