No cards, no candy: Ontario school bans Valentine’s Day, arguing it harms equity goals

An Ontario elementary school has cancelled Valentine’s Day on the grounds that the traditional celebration of love could “negatively impact our families and students.”

“While we acknowledge the celebration of Valentine’s Day, and are mindful of the popularity of that day, it is not celebrated by all students/families in our community,” reads a notice sent to parents and subsequently forwarded to local media.
