It’s way out of control, thanks to woke-inspired Board policies
Yesterday, the Toronto Star published an article about a parent, Mr. Anwar Knight, desperately seeking justice for his son, the victim of an assault at school. “The case raises questions of how school boards handle violent incidents, when police should be called and what information is disclosed to the families of the students involved.” No kidding.
At the PDSB, administrators have been directed never to call police without the go-ahead from the senior administration, presumably the Director of Education. Physical altercations including stabbings and severe beatings with weapons are common in Peel schools and are often not reported to police. The perpetrators are given a slap on the wrist and return to school where they continue their pattern of bullying and abuse.
When kids are injured, the Board launches an internal investigation and parents are not told what the outcome of that investigation was. They are simply told that appropriate action was taken. The student then returns to school, usually along with the perpetrator.
This article gives you a rare glimpse inside this broken system which prioritizes protecting the reputation of the school, school board, and administrators, along with the perpetrator of violence, over school safety and justice for victims.
