Mr. Bruce White, a highly esteemed and influential retired teacher is now banned from all GECDSB schools. In April, the school board alleged that Mr. White "uses the captive audience in the classroom to intimidate students”. He was also told that “most students find him abrasive and... made them feel inadequate."

This ban originates from when a grade 9 student’s parent contacted Superintendent John Howitt, wanting to sue Mr. White for harassment. Mr. White was not informed of his actions, nor would the board release further details to the public. If current situations persist, Mr. White will not be able to continue his night and Sunday math programs, and many other affiliated events including math contests and school trips. We firmly stand in support of Mr. White as he has touched the lives of thousands of students, parents, and teachers alike. Without doubt, he is invaluable to our education system.
We, the undersigned fully support the removal of Mr. Bruce White’s ban. For more information and updates on the issue, please visit http://bringwhiteback.tk/

I have spent this week reviewing the documentation provided by the school board and organizing our next formal response. The personal accounts shared by former students continue to confirm the positive impact of these math programs on our community.

Ridiculous. Schools need teachers who actually push kids instead of just passing everyone along. Bring him back!

Mr. White taught me everything I know for grade 12 calc. This is honestly so unfair he is the only reason I passed.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Mr White is a legend in this town. The school board has no idea what they are throwing away.

He helped me get through math when I thought I was gonna fail. He isnt abrasive he just expects results. Not everyone can handle that I guess.

shame on the board for banning him without even giving him a chance to defend himself.
