Maybe the title above is a little harsh regarding the Catholic Board. Generally they don't appear to screw up nearly as often as their non-Catholic educational colleagues. Recently one Catholic school trustee got a little carried away with her enthusiasm in supporting women and minorities and posted some rude or insulting comments about white Christian males in general. Certainly she had some valid points but lumping everybody together in a group as representative of a poorly behaved minority is not a great idea.
However the WRDSB are just continuing to shine as an example of Wokism, stupidism, biases, hostility and aggression. The title of the article dated April 24/23 by Jeff Outhit is "Waterloo Region may be a target as provincial government takes aim at underachieving school boards". While the province are focused on academics local WRDSB trustee Mike Ramsay is more specific as he states "I don't feel the board is fully focused on student learning and achievement" followed more sharply by stating that provincial control over the school board may reduce distractions on "side issues that have nothing to do with student learning and achievement" such as "vexatious challenges to parents who come to the board in good faith with their questions."
Wow! That not only refers to Caroline Burjowski (former long term teacher) and her contemptible treatment by the WRDSB, as well if I may but how I and my family were treated over twenty-five years ago by the swine at the board. I went first to my principle (Romashyna) then trustee (Huschka) and finally to the board itself with concerns shared by my family and by numerous other families. Talk about the "blue wall" for the police. The school board behaved beyond awful including blatant lying and deceit rather than addressing the serious problem that they already knew existed.
O.K. so I'm no fan of the provincial government but good God I've long stated that when school boards are spending excessive amounts of taxpayers money on keeping lawyers on retainer as legal attack dogs against either parents or children then there is a gross problem. Yes there are some very good trustees. There were some despicable swine at the top of the board years ago. It at least appears that their possibly hand picked successors share their behaviors. Feel free Ontario to clean house. What has taken you so long?
