With special recognition of her age, Ms Elgie has matured during several decades in which the use of this slur was especially toxic and hateful. Let's not normalize this now!

Given her position and the fact that she was so comfortable using such hateful and oppressing language in public demonstrates her lack of respect, tolerance, and social awareness. She needs to go.

As a parent of students at I have witnessed such behavior. A person in her position provided a room for hate to foster, a full resignation is a must or we should protest and remove any other person that supports such behavior

Accountability is lacking in the York Region District School Board in relation to racist and discriminatory practices. I am appalled that a school board trustee in the 21st Century has the nerve to use the N word.

Disgraceful. Racism on this level tolerated will make the TDSB lose all credibility.

This is outrageous! She should be terminated immediately and not be allowed to work in the school system anymore.

Truly unacceptable behaviour. The parents in our community deserve to be treated equally and with respect.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Her words are unacceptable.

She must resign. Parents should band together, boycott classes until she does.

No place in the school board for this kind of hate speech. What was she thinking?

Utterly disgusted. This is beyond unacceptable - Elgie needs to be relieved of her duties immediately.
