Atiyeh Ahmed, left, and Afaf Koya, right, both wish to pursue a career in teaching. They said it was helpful to hear from people with lived experience during Tuesday's event.
students from across high schools in Waterloo region who were invited to the school's campus for an event hosted by the university's Equity, Diversity and Indigenization Coalition. According to a 2019 report from the Waterloo Region District School Board, 92 per cent of employees are white, while census data shows that number to be 80 per cent for the general population.
Johanna Chort, left and Charis Campbell, right, both agree that there is a need to diversify educational staff."I think it's a disparity that's really sad for a lot of students of colour," she said. "I chose to become a teacher because I'm very angry. I'm very angry at the system and very angry at the way that it's treated racialized students in particular and equity deserving groups in particular," said Chorowiec, who is also a member of the coalition.
Unfortunately too many times 'diversity' means you can discriminate against whites, especially white males. Instead treat everyone fairly as individuals, not as part of a group.
Why is the word 'Diversity' included if it's about inspiring students to be teachers? That has nothing to do with diversity. Sounds like there's more liberal bullshit to this story than is being declared. Not surprised. The liberals always target children with their crap.
Hijab, bad for Iran, good for Canadian schools? MSM, even they aren't sure what their masters want promoted anymore. 🤣🤡
The idea that someone can't be a teacher in Canada today because 'they're brown and visibly Muslim' is absurd.
People should become teachers because they want to teach, not because somebody wants them to based on their looks.
I’d change my kid’s class if the teacher is bringing any religious symbols to the class and showing it to the little kids.
Forced diversity is cultural cancer. We need to stop it before it metastasizes.
unity is better than diversity, diversity is a word woke racists hide behind
I'm f_____g speechless.
