EDUCATION MINISTRY TO INVESTIGATE TDSB OVER FIELD TRIP TO POLITICAL

PROTEST

When one Jewish Grade 8 student told her teacher the chants were making her

uncomfortable, a relative said she was allegedly told she’d “get over it.”

Education Minister Jill Dunlop announced the move in a statement issued

Tuesday evening, criticizing the TDSB for not taking action.

“It is clear that the TDSB has failed to take swift and decisive action on

this matter,” the statement said.

“As such, I have asked my ministry to initiate an investigation into the

events that took place at the TDSB last week.”

Those responsible, she said, should be held accountable.

Parents and community members were shocked to learn that TDSB

students as young as eight were brought to a Sept. 18 Grassy Narrows

protest at Grange Park.
