Black TDSB students say they face ‘dehumanizing’ racism, greater academic hurdles, new studies find
The group of Black girls were chatting in the hall on their way to their next class when a teacher told them to hurry.
When the students didn’t immediately speed up, the same teacher allegedly said: “Oh, what if it was a bucket of fried chicken? You’d be running.”
Examples like these came up again and again while Olivia Bernard, a University of Toronto PhD student, researched the experiences of Black female students at a Black Creek-area high school in 2021 and 2022.
Both studies sound like their ‘findings’ were based on the made up stories of mischievous kids well schooled in perpetual victimhood by the TDSB itself.
It’s no secret that the TDSB’s racist DEI program has labeled White people and especially white Christians and Jews as immutably racist oppressors based solely on their skin colour and religions.
The same policies that have made Jewish students feel unsafe have also created inhospitable environments for Hindu, Christian and Asian students, she said, adding that the human rights department at the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trains staff on “who qualifies as an oppressor,” singling out Christians.
And …
For example, woke math pedagogues decided it was more important to elevate the status of Indigenous “ways of knowing” as a means of combatting alleged white supremacy than it was to preserve the traditional, and effective, instructive teacher-student “settler” model.
