Former Hamilton student trustees allege racism within school board

The allegations were first brought forward by the 2019-2020 student trustee Ahona Medhi, who took to social media following the conclusion of her term to say she was “beyond grateful to no longer serve as the board's token for student voice and diversity.”

Medhi also alleged the same trustee said “Black leadership was too prevalent” within the school board. “That set the tone for the entire year,” Hye said. “It became very clear to me throughout my interactions with trustees and the board throughout my term that my role was tokenistic, that my voice was nothing more than an image for them, it was for the prospect of having a brown face on their media things.”

“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.”

Obviously it’s Hamilton!

Big bandwagon vibes

The Italians were never this good at press conferences when they first got here

Diversity mean No White People

How do we know that they are telling the truth How come they waited this long They r just looking for rewards and special treatment. Get a job

Here goes the BS again

The media used to verify claims before publishing them. I guess you guys don’t care anymore? Where’s the proof? Have you asked the accusers for the receipts? Or are we doing witch trials daily now? Pathetic. Student trustees. Lol.

I am so fed up with this bullshit if there’s is any racism is against white people

Borrrrriiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg

Hamilton Ontario’s racism capital. Don’t worry we’ll resettle it and fix it, and send them to Alberta.

Funny how she gave so many examples of things she heard and were said to her directly but never said a word? Now she’s spilling all of this and still doesn’t give any names? Until she names ppl directly I fail to believe what she’s saying. Just too convenient

Couldn't even read past the second sentence🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Sure. Who’s next

Prove it !

What I do not understand. The only way to resolve these issues are to go to media and slur someone’s name without any chance of defending themselves. Sat all year and did not speak up. Why were they there? Or is this just 15 minutes of fame thing.

Of course. 🙄

You feel the kind of racism directed toward me a white human that identifies as a male. It’s tormenting

..........

It's too easy nowadays 🤣

I mean do people know the definition of systemic anymore?

LOL Of Course They Do PCPsychoCircus 🤡 MagicKingdom ItsATizzyYall LeftyMeltyDownyzzz Again 🎈❄️🤪🤡
