She has to complete a course regarding professional boundaries with a focus on the appropriate use of social media at her own expense
A Northern Ontario teacher who discouraged people from wearing masks and getting vaccinated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic is facing disciplinary action.
TimminsToday reached out to DSB1 and Schmoll's legal counsel for comment but has not yet received a response. One of Schmoll’s posts read, “Recommending an experimental and unapproved injection for children is unethical, unscientific, immoral, and wrong,” while another read, “Adults telling kids to wear masks have no idea the damage they’re inflicting. Adults might think children can handle the mask wearing but they do not understand that children need twice as much oxygen to function normally as adults.”
The OCT disciplinary panel said Schmoll’s claims “were false, misleading, and capable of causing readers to be reluctant to comply with prevailing public health measures to address the COVID-19 pandemic.” The panel said Schmoll’s “deeply offensive behaviour created an unsafe learning environment for students of diverse backgrounds and beliefs and has no place in Ontario’s school system and community.”
