Community leaders remember our client’s meaningful work addressing anti-Black racism at Peel School Board. $7-million lawsuit exposes Board’s resistance to change. thepointer.com/article/2025-…
For the sake of all children, today we remember Kola Iluyomade.
Kola Iluyomade left us on this day in 2021 while fighting for the marginalized @PeelSchools. 3 yrs later, @PDSBDirector and @DrGreen59 refuse to name the Centre after Kola, the leader of this struggle. @ToddSmithPC where is the accountability for the Ministry Directives?

False stories? You @DrGreen590 are the master of false stories about Black parents advocating for their children. Unless you change your behaviour soon, your legacy will be one of shame and corruption. @Sflecce @PeelSchools @IOrughu
PDSB returns to being an unapologetically racist school system. Shameful if we let them do this.
Trustee "McCriminal" Davis chairs Decipline committee. Middle schl non- Black student calls a Black child the N-word. The student was suspended & committee rescinded the suspension. @PDSBDirector Do not normalize this, given the history of @PeelSchools @ToddSmithPC @timvining

The K.I Centre of Black Excellence was conceived by us, NOT by anyone currently at @PeelSchools. It was accepted by B.Rodriguez @TDSBDirector & adopted by @PDSBDirector. Why is @DrGreen590 sabotaging it? Why is @PDSBDirector not defending D-18 & the desire of the Black community
Advocacy Peel - Tim Vining retweeted
Directive 18 supports @PeelSchools to name the Centre after Kola Iluyomade. Why is the Board refusing? In all of our engagements with the Board, it was referred as such. @DrGreen590 has allowed is dislike for Kola & community members impede is judgements. @Sflecce @dbanner16
Such betrayal
Here is the video of @PDSBDirector announcing the naming of the Centre of Black Excellence after Kola Iluyomade. @Sflecce, @DrGreen590 & co sabotaged this agreement. This is why the black community does not trust the leadership of the Board
Their words mean nothing!
Four years after apologizing for systemic discrimination, PDSB still suspending & expelling Black & Indigenous students at disturbing rates | The Pointer thepointer.com/article/2024-…

BOOM! To @PeelSchools - Firing people who have the ability and willingness to embed equity into policy making is NOT the way forward.

Equity leader Poleen Grewal calls firing by PDSB ‘reprisal’ for highlighting the board’s failure to address systemic discrimination | The Pointer thepointer.com/article/2023-…
More denial of racism in the wake of recent actions taken by @PeelSchools. This one uses the classic white supremacist strategy of divide and conquer by weaponizing the Asian "model minority" myth against Black communities Shame!

I see DEI as a Justice issue, tied directly to Democracy. Anyone who has trouble with DEI, would fall under suspicion for me, wondering why they don't want everyone to be assured of Justice and Democracy.
Anyone denied in Canada is a failure of what it means to be Canadians.

“If we are to help dismantle anti-Black racism,” Turner said, “then we need to be teaching all students about the contributions that Black people have made to this country.”
