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-…

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

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

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

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.”

Recent decisions by the PDSB have unleashed new attacks on Black women in leadership by those who want to "Make Peel Great Again." They came for Kola, then Kike and now Poleen. Who is next?

If Grewal can be fired, so can @Director_HWDSB. You can’t lead when you bully and you can’t lead when your only remaining tactic is fear. No white Director would emerge unscathed after tweeting pleasure about a black Principal’s “discomfort”. #OntEd

Ministry of Education found in 2020 that Peel District School Board was guilty of systemic racism and placed it under supervision. Trustees returned to power in 2023 and blame their Associate Director of Equity and terminate her employment. insauga.com/employee-fired-w…

First they erase the memory of warrior Kola Iluyomade, then they scapegoat Kike Ojo-Thompson for a suicide and now they claim Poleen Grewal created anti-Black racism? @PeelSchools @Sflecce are you watching? @IOrughu @PoBCAdvocate @VACAORG

Since the firing of AD Poleen Grewal, the only official communication has been from Ms. Grewal's attorney. Why was approval of the PDSB Trustees required for this termination of employment? The timing seems a little sus. @PDSBDirector @Sflecce
Poleen Grewal, Associate Director and champion of Dismantling Anti-Black Racism, was fired last night by @PeelSchools. This is an act of reprisal against Poleen, an ally of Black communities who have dared to speak out against ongoing systemic anti-Black racism in Peel Schools.

The trolls on X have sunk to a new low. They now deny the anti-Black racism that was documented in the Ministry Report on Peel Schools. No systemic racism at PDSB? Really? @Sflecce @PDSBDirector
Advocacy Peel - Tim Vining retweeted
The truth is coming out. @Peelschools is scapegoating Poleen Grewal for their being placed under supervision? NO! They were placed under supervision because of ANTI-BLACK RACISM. The truth will NOT be silenced! @Sflecce @IOrughu @ShreeParadkar @KojoInstitute @TrusteeMcDonald

Recently, PDSB tried to erase the memory and legacy of Kola Iluyomade. Then the TDSB and Ministry of Education cooperates with scapegoating Kike Ojo-Thompson and all anti-racism training. Now the PDSB fires champion of equity Associate Director Poleen Grewal. See a pattern?

Yes! We need an official, organized voice of Black political leaders able to speak louder than the voices of those who uphold white supremacy. David Green, are you listening?

African refugees in the @City_of_Vaughan are being housed in a local church and waiting for services. This is not sustainable. Refugees who are sick went to the Cortelluci Vaughan Hospital for care and were turned away @MackenzieHealth. Join us to find out how you can help.

ICYMI: Naming someone's behaviour or something they've said anti-Black, racist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic etc is NOT bullying. Stating that someone's behaviour or something they've said is supporting racism, ableism etc is NOT bullying.

Black students, educators, community members, and supporters gathered at City Hall today to denounce the weaponization of mental health crises to silence the important work being done to combat anti-Black racism. I stand with them and the @KojoInstitute. #HamOnt
