xi - oppressive systems of white supremacy are built into our school systems, which disadvantage the abilities for black students to learn and express themselves.
x - black students are asked to conform and comply by adhering to White standards of expression, identity, and beauty.
These systems prevent students from feeling safe and must be disrupted.

Virtual grade five students have morning exercises, just like students in school. But we're using slides, updated daily or weekly.
We don't all get into the virtual classroom at the exact same time, so we begin with breathing silently while listening to our song of the week. ->

We observe the Land Acknowledgement of #TDSB @UIEC_Tdsb. Students can volunteer to read the acknowledgement. They choose to sit or stand. ->
An audio file of O Canada is embedded in the slide, and a student's choice to sing or not is respect and supported. All participants have the choice to remain seated, to stand, or to take a knee. All choices are respected and supported. ->
Right now, #TDSB staff are reporting on the dynamics of building and launching the virtual school.
Thousands of students had to be enrolled manually -- quite literally one-by-one. A total enrolment of 73,000 students -- if I heard correctly.
On the to-do list is a Trustee and School Council protocol, so that parent and community issues are represented in virtual school.
Today, with the help of @jenniferstoryTO, @LGBTCop, Principal Colleen Head, and our featured speaker @sbearbergman, @WBurgessTDSB held our second annual #Pride assembly -- the online edition! #TDSBpride #TDSB
A temporary link has been created to make the video of the stream available to @WBurgessTDSB families to view at their convenience. This will be sent directly to Burgess families for your private viewing.
@sbearbergman is an author, storyteller and publisher at @FlamingoRampant books. He has also done forty live videos reading Flamingo Rampant books and other titles for children, which can be viewed at the Flamingo Rampant Facebook page. facebook.com/FlamingoRampan…
A #HateCrime and act of direct discrimination was committed at Queen Victoria P.S. by a #TDSB employee who sent anti-Black hate mail to a Black school administrator. The hate mail threatens 6 Black and racialized teachers directly (contd)
The hate mail threatens six Black and racialized teachers directly by name, poisioning their work environment and effectively removing them from school for months of this school year, to the detriment of students and families.
This is angering, unlawful and unacceptable @tdsb_qv @Tdsb_stondat. It seems your idea of "working collaboratively in service of our Black students" means concealing anti-Black hate activity from parents/guardians while endangering Black students in your care.
