The Toronto District School Board will not allow any school trips to an exhibit on the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel or screenings of an Oscar-winning documentary about the Israeli-occupied West Bank as a school has come under fire for an alleged double standard on what activities it approves by parents and community members.
The decision comes as more than 230 frustrated parents and community members issued an open letter Monday to their local trustee over the blocking of a student-organized screening of “No Other Land,” a documentary by Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers on the destruction of a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank.
