How can we expect our children to learn acceptance and experience equity if those leading our schools cannot teach it? Children learn by observing their elders. This woman is a disgrace, and should no longer have a position with the board.

The taxes of black families help to families help to fund the school board and be thus her salary. She can not be trusted to fairly represent the needs of her constituents when evidence of hateful biases and attitudes simply escape from her mouth in a public forum.

Cannot have a school trustee use the N-word. She has lost all credibility and trust. So had the Board by keeping her on. She must resign.

No! We need to say his is not acceptable. Apology or not, why is this word even in someone's vocabulary, filtered or not. She must go, no room for her kind, especially on a school board!!

The election of Donald Trump in the US has encouraged Canadian racists and fascists. They needed to be reminded that THIS IS CANADA.

I have two young boys in the YRDSB system, and this is completely unacceptable! It's upsetting even to know that a petition is required. This Councillor should have been removed immediately!

Not acceptable behavior or attitude. If a racailized person did the exact same thing, they would be terminated. End this privileged protectionism.

It is totally unconscionable and abhorring that a person who would insult i a parent n public using racial slur should be part of SCHOOL BOARD. She deserves to be fired.
