As elected officials, one must see and treat all families with equity, kindness and respect. It is obvious that she is unable to stand by these principals and is not suited for this role as an educator

Dear Nancy, I sign not because I want to have you punished; I sign because I want a statement to be made that Ontarians have zero tolerance for racism, bigotry, and intolerance.

An apology is not enough. If the words can come out of her mouth, how does this reflect on the decisions she makes on behalf of our children?

The only thing she is genuinely sorry for is getting caught.

I have a friend who was found not guilty of a charge against him at the school where he worked and he was forced to resign anyway. Why should our trustees be allowed any better. And his crime was NOT the issuance of the n-word. Dusgusting. Get her gone.

If you think we will let you stand by and have these bigoted people be in a position to discriminate against the children, you are sorely mistaken.
Remove this person, because if you do not you are revealing your complicity of racism in the region. You are not dealing with the silent any longer, the only way to fix this is remove Elgie based as she has not lived up to the requirements of the position.
Trustees are accountable to their electorate. That means ALL trustees.
We will mobilize and have you all replaced if that is what it takes.

An elected official saying this word at anytime should not be allowed on any school board.

There is no question this woman should be removed from her position. Racism anywhere is unacceptable, especially within a School Board.

Nancy Elgie's racist comment was completely unacceptable and she should resign as a trustee. York Region should enforce the zero tolerance policy.
