Now the Continuing Education Students at Ryerson have released a petition with signatures from about 700 Ryerson students, faculty members, and organizations demanding the Egerton Ryerson statue be removed.
The petition calls on Ryerson president Mohamed Lachemi to order the removal of the statue and end “the glorification and whitewashing of our colonial history.” However, Marshall Darbyshire, an outgoing politics and governance student at Ryerson and president of the Ryerson Campus Conservatives, said the statue should remain up.“At the end of the day, I think it’s because these are people who know they’ll never do anything great enough to have a statue erected of themselves,” said Darbyshire.
“Many children did not complete even primary school, as schools were not available everywhere, teacher training was spotty at best, and education was not valued by parents of children who were going to work the farm, become a tradesman, or were going to get married and look after the house,” said Stagg.Article content continued
