There is absolutely NO place for racism and any form of discrimination in the workplace - or anywhere, for that matter. Nancy must resign or be removed, immediately.

Terrible word! For small minded people filled with hate. She doesn't belong on any school board. Maybe jail time or community service would be a good idea for her.

What a horrible example she has set this must be handled with a resignation.

There is no room for hate speech at this level, especially for someone meant to represent the school board and protect children. Nancy Elgie is a threat to vulnerable children and the York Region community.

It is in your best interests and the best interests of everyone associated with the TDSB for you to resign, Nancy Elgie. The education system needs to grow and put an end to the explicit and systemic racist that you embody and represent. Step down, Nancy.

She must resign or be fired! This is unacceptable.

We cannot accept these attitudes anywhere in our communities, especially in positions of power.

There is no excuse for the actions of this trustee; such a heinous and volatile word does not just "slip out". A resignation - not an email apology - is the only course of action.

This is a pretty easy one. If this one private business there would be no question but to terminate.

The intent was to hurt feelings. Mission accomplished. Our intent is to now punish you for your intent!

Completely unacceptable. YRDSB's continued employment of this woman is an endorsement of her abhorrent behaviour.

There really is no other choice but to resign.

Unacceptable. To resort to this type of offensive language is indicative of a deeper issue.

This person has no place in any public position, never mind in one dealing with public education!

The position that she holds is governed by a level of morality that is higher than that of many other positions. If she has difficulty with consistently extending human decency and respect others, she should seek other employment where she can learn that skill without causing harm to others on her journey.

Never, not once, not ever. I have zero tolerance for this behaviour.
