吃瓜黑料网

Dear Minister Calandra, 

On behalf of 吃瓜黑料网 Trustees, I am writing to reaffirm our commitment to addressing systemic anti-Black racism and discrimination in Ontario’s public education system. Specifically, we are calling on the Ministry of Education to provide a public response to the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s (OHRC) report , and to issue clear direction to all duty-holders across the education sector. 

As outlined in the 吃瓜黑料网’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan and Human Rights Policy, we are committed to fostering academic success, engagement, and belonging for every student, and to identifying and addressing all forms of discrimination. The Dreams Delayed report underscores the urgency of this work, describing anti-Black racism in education as a crisis that must be acknowledged and addressed. It highlights the disproportionate burden placed on Black students and educators, and calls for coordinated action from the Ministry, Trustees, school boards, unions, and other stakeholders. 

As Trustees, we acknowledge the persistence of anti-Black racism and discrimination in education, and reaffirm our commitment to: 

• Supporting efforts to address systemic anti-Black racism and discrimination; 
• Fostering academic success, engagement, and belonging at all schools, including through the 吃瓜黑料网’s Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement; 
• Continuing to engage the Black Student Achievement Community Advisory Committee in this work. 

We respectfully request that the Ministry of Education: 

• Issue a public response to the Dreams Delayed report, outlining how the Ministry will act on the OHRC’s recommendations; 
• Provide clear direction to all education duty-holders to support the implementation of these recommendations across the province. 

In addition, we have requested that the OHRC present the report and its findings to 吃瓜黑料网 Trustees during the 2025–26 school year, as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency, learning, and action. For your reference, the full motion passed at the May 21 Board Meeting is included below. 

We look forward to your response and to continued collaboration in support of human rights and addressing systemic anti-Black racism and discrimination in education. 

Sincerely, 
 
Neethan Shan 
Chair, 吃瓜黑料网
