... general strike. This prospect terrified CUPE and the entire union bureaucracy, which worked overtime during a weekend in early November to ...

As has been the case throughout the 14 months since teachers’ contracts expired at the end of August 2022, the principal concern of the union bureaucracies following the votes has been to block a strike.#Canada #teachers #schools #education #Ontario #OSSTF #ETFO #OECTA #DougFord #libranet.de/search?tag=
Ontario education unions work to block teachers’ struggle despite massive strike votes

While on the surface it may appear reasonable, as some cons are saying, to let public school parents know what their child is being called at school, or what pronouns they are using, the reality is that some parents are abusive and unfathomably transphobic.

So if, by witholding that info, we can at least create a safe space for their kid at school, all that matters if the students are able to exist and learn in a space where they are accepted and appreciated as they are.

2SLGBTQ+ people experience a disproportionate risk of trauma and abuse, so we need to name, recognize, affirm and celebrate identities that have been historically suppressed, erased and marginalized, to ensure all people are included.

Children form key ideas about race, gender, and relationships by age 5, if not earlier, so early exposure to diversity in our communities goes a long way to making life easier for everyone.

I am sick of people saying this somehow sexualizes kids or grooms them for abuse. Nowhere in the curriculum do we ever teach about how to have sex; and shame on those who pretend otherwise for political points.

With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation fast approaching I wanted to create a video outlining the importance of the day and how you can spend your “holiday” supporting Indigenous peoples! So how should you spend this day? •You can educate yourself on the history of Indigenous peoples •You can learn about the ongoing intergenerational impacts of Residential and boarding Schools •You can attend a local ceremony or gathering that is being organized either by Indigenous peoples or in partnership with. •learn about your local Indigenous communities and their treaty histories, know whose land you reside on and how you can support their communities and survivors. •With the rising popularity in the orange shirt movement, be certain that if you’re wearing an orange shirt, that it comes from a business or organization that will be donating the proceeds of your donation to a charity or organization like the orange shirt society, or The Indian Residential School Survivors Society. The orange shirt is significant because a former member of that school Phyllis Webstad shared a story of how she had her favourite shiny orange shirt taken from her when we attended residential school. The wearing of an orange shirt is to commemorate Phyllis’s residential school experience and honour our survivors resiliency. Let me know in the comments how you’re going to spend the day! And share this video with your friends and family so they can too!
