A memo sent to school boards across the province warns that the government will be paying close attention to how educators handle the one-year anniversary.
‘Disgraceful’ school trip to Toronto protest needs to be investigated, Ontario Premier Ford saysA memo sent to school boards across the province, obtained by Global News, warns that the government will be paying close attention to how educators handle the one-year anniversary and how schools deal with the continuing rise in intolerance.
The memo instructs school boards to focus on learning and includes a stern warning about the minister’s “expectation” in provincial classrooms about the nature of any discussions about world events.“Our schools and school-related activities should never be used as vehicles for political protests that enable inflammatory, discriminatory, and hateful content,” Dunlop said in the memo.
Ontario’s education minister has asked for an investigation into a now controversial Toronto field trip that saw students involved with a downtown protest. Ontario Premier Doug Ford blasted the board for the way the trip played out — and accused some educators of planning to “indoctrinate” students.
