Min of Ed @Sflecce has echoed the voices of many parents & educators, urging @PeelSchools to reconsider its decision to include Nakba Day in its list of significant days. As he said, “it is critical that schools bring people together, not further divide our society & students.”
Bringing people together is a really good Canadian principle Michael! Could you apply the same principle to Israel where they have killed more than 15,000 children in Gaza and left more disabled & orphaned? As someone with a Masters of Education, here is what I would suggest: #CeaseFirelnGaza first, then we reunite Gaza families with their families in Canada like @MarcMillerVM promised. Then we tell age appropriate stories about parallel histories. We have had to tell the truth about what Canada did to First Nations, Jews, Japanese Internment, Chinese railway workers etc… there is no reason to exclude the Nakba and include the dilemma of two peoples and 3 religions with history on the land. PS Holy land, ancient mosques and churches… should not be bombed! Here is a good duel curriculum guide: thenewpress.com/books/side-by-… @Mivasair @nccm @SarahJama_ @IndJewishVoices @cjpme @tdsb #onpoli #cdnpoli
They should go further and charge the people responsible with hate crimes. Being woke and/or Islamic is not a free pass to spread hate. What Jewish child wants to be in the Peel School Board’s jurisdiction now? How can they feel safe when the educators are the issue? There needs to be accountability in this country for those spreading hate and lies. 💙🇮🇱💙🇮🇱
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools In order for them to understand tge problem @PeelSchools need to see #jews as people
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools He's absolutely right.
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools Define "many". Yeah. Let's not pay too much attention to the genocide of brown people.
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools This is as unacceptable as removing educational information on the holocaust or the holodomor. Nakba is a historical event not a political issue to divide people.
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools Michael’s Judaism seems to consist of erasing Palestinians. He wants them wiped out in Gaza and their history of dispossession erased
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools So if learning about Residential schools in Canada makes Christians or white ppl feel uncomfortable will it stop being discussed in classes? Every country has parts of dark history, recognizing it doesn't make it ansemite or negative towards a certain group of ppl...
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools If @Sflecce was serious about bringing people together he would get rid of publicly funding schools that represent one religion! That’s the very definition of dividing our society! #DefundCatholicSchools #Onted
@LevittMichael @Sflecce @PeelSchools Hurray for @PeelSchools for telling the TRUTH. #FreePalaestine
