This is unfortunate as an alum from a YRDSB school.

You are an educator, you sit on a board of fellow educators, that make decisions that mold young minds. How dare you utter such hateful slurs. How dare you think that you are better than ANYBODY else based on the colour of their skin. Your hate, and ignorance is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Unacceptable.

There should be zero tolerance for racial slurs when one holds an important position of power and authority in the world of education.

There is absolutely no space for bigotry in education - a trustee, an educator, student within the classroom. Zero tolerance because if the individual is permitted to continue without consequence, you are saying that it's okay to discriminate.

Public officials in charge of education need to set the proper tone and direction for all Canadians. Racist discrimination from a trustee is unacceptable, and this person must be removed immediately.

She needs to step down. In 2017 for this to be a lapse in judgement...hello. Black Folks are tired of the liberal side stepping when it comes to addressing racism. We are tired. We are coming for her.

Completely out of touch. Probably never was in touch. This is likely ageist but these individuals date themselves with their dormant racism seeping through. At least if you're going to be a blatant racist be ready to have any authority you once held be revoked. Fire her. Replace her. Rinse. Repeat.

There is no room for this anymore. She is no longer a voice for the people. She needs to be removed.

No apology needed. Her mouth has already spoken what is in her heart.

Hate has no place in the public forum in a place that is supposed to be sacred to all. Good bye.
