A new report says anti-racism work is lagging in schools across the country.

“I know data sounds boring, but we're missing data and that is a really big piece,” People for Education Executive Director Annie Kidder told CP24 in an interview Monday.

But while anti-racism policies have started to show up at publicly funded school boards across Ontario, the new report from People for Education says there are “The report says that identity-based data is important because it “yields valuable insights about how different groups experience the same institutions, systems, and processes” and compares outcomes of different groups.

“Overall, 74% of school board websites mentioned racism in their equity and inclusion policies, 40% of publicly funded schools had an anti-racism statement on their website, and 28% had an anti-racism strategy or approach available online,” the report found. Kidder said the numbers reflect the fact that principals are having a difficult time implementing the policies without additional resources.

Kidder said her group was also “surprised and a bit concerned” that some of the strategies for school boards appear to have disappeared from the Ministry of Education’s website.

The schools need it very badly, given how much racism goes on in the schools.

So is Racism, It's just fools like you that push it.

How to prevent racism is not by teaching white people are inherently racist and should apologize for every crime that was done in the past

It's garbage and discrimination by another name. All this equity, diversity and inclusion stuff needs to go. I just pay lip service to it. Equality of outcome is Marxist garbage

Anti-racism advocates race-based discrimination. Isn't that what we used to call racism?

Thankfully! Nobody wants this work.

Anti-racism is just more racism. No thanks.

Oh no…

Because there isn’t any !

People who do work in the name of 'anti-racism' are in fact the real racists who try to separate people by groups vs treating them as individuals.

Oh Lord....stop playing victim again!
