A proposed change to the graduation ceremony policy of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) would see the board switch to equity-based commencement ceremonies and allow for students without passing grades to participate.

I think of the job of acting as inhabiting a situation or identity significantly different from my own. As a rabbi, acting is not really in my wheelhouse.
