A Peel police presentation last week to school administrators about youth gangs — which included a music video containing the N-word — prompted an apology Friday from the force for “any harm” caused to those in attendance.
Meanwhile the school board, which initially apologized in a memo to staff the next day, appeared to soften its earlier account, saying Friday that after a review, the memo “does not fully reflect the context or intent of the session.”
The April 9 presentation by Peel Regional Police was delivered to administrators and superintendents at the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board as part of a session on student safety, including gang awareness and how to identify and respond to risks facing students.
