Former Hamilton student trustees allege systemic racism within board, call for impeachment

TORONTO -- Two former student trustees with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board are demanding the impeachment of staff allegedly involved in incidents of racism—including the use of racial slurs—as well as a transparent and open investigation into what they call a “systematic oppressive institution.”

Speaking to reporters, Medhi said that she endured racial gaslighting and micro-aggressions while in her role, and that it took a toll on her mental health. “As a racialized representative, this was disturbing to me as the education system is first and foremost intended to serve students,” Medhi said. “This is not a difficult or a complex concept.”

Hye went on to say to that a supervisor for the secondary student senate refused to look her in the eye during meetings and if she put forward an idea, he would thank her white counterpart. When she brought the allegation forward, she was forced to sit in one-on-one meetings “to divulge my pain, experience of racism, to prove that I had lived racism at the hands of this person.”

“There was a lot more, but it was clear to me that trustees didn't actually want my role as student trustee to be one of advocating for students, but one where I kept my head down and did not speak up. The environment for me to safely discuss instances of racism and how racism informs policy and operates in the school board did not and does not exist.”

Let’s not confuse ignorance with racism.

So for an ethics and political philosiphy student from UofOttawa, she sure wants to make her statement while wanting to dwfund the police. What kind of peabrain let her into Canada. Keep yr shit at your homeland, not here.

Next time someone pisses me off i am going to accuse them of racism and hopefully they will get fired...this could be fun..

It is everywhere with a fake smile

not hamilton...naw...

Good heavens! Who cares?

The language used including “racialized, micro-aggressions” is clear that this is a case of Leftist ideology coming home to roost. Education system has been pushing Leftist indoctrination for years & now the students are judging system by those harmful D.I.E. principles. Love it

Is there a difference between 'racism' and 'systemic racism'?

Send them a box of Kleenex...end of your snowflake story ...

Any doubts?

Was it racism, or were they told no for any other reason BUT racism? Too easy. 😑

Cue the good ol' 'There is no such thing as racism if you just refuse to accept it is real' crowd.

It’s getting to the point that one can say “ who hasn’t?”

How does one experience systemic racism? It’s a construct not an actual thing. The individual might experience racist acts....

Africa is again the world’s epicenter of modern-day slavery

Ummm... I gave it some thoughts. I believe everyone,including white people, are facing systematic racism all the time.
