The Ontario government is putting up $340,000 to help tackle anti-Asian racism in classrooms.

The province says the pandemic has sparked a surge in discrimination and hate crimes against people of Asian descent in Canada.Part of the funding will go to mental health supports for students, families and teachers of Asian descent.

Money will also go toward developing online resources and tools to help Chinese Canadian households talk to their children about racism. Overall, the province is spending $6.4 million on equity-related projects as part of its Safe Return to Class Fund. “Racism and discrimination have no place in our schools,” Education Minister Stephen Lecce said in a statement.

A better solution is to change the curriculum to include Asian Canadian history and recognize that Canadians of Asian descent played an integral part to build & shape this country.

what schools, you mean computers?

Waste of money, what a joke. Canadian Asians are the least thing you need to worry about in this world, this is a pure political play.

The World should hold the CCP of China accountable for the growing Hate on Orientals Asians They should pay the $300000 BILL.

340K ÷ of schools = pittance

what does the money go to?

Who bothers Asians in school. Seriously, that is a soft move

This world is going crazy

Does anyone know if there is a plan to add life skills, social skills and knowing how to take care of ones self back to the curriculum?

What about anti polish hate?

They gonna expell the kids who torment everyone but no one can actually say what needs to be done. Which is get rid of the violent blacks. Their poor performance in live isn't racism it's genetic and it's not their fault. But we need our children kept sake.

What about all the other nationalities/Races ?

Well done.

This is the first time we are hearing of this. /s We knew this when white supremacists were congregating eyeball to eyeball in the states with thier giant guns with no consequence......
