More than 35 parents of children in a Grade 1 class at the Toronto school where a 6-year-old boy was allegedly locked in a closet-sized room for 30 minutes have signed a petition in support of their teacher, who they call “extremely dedicated, attentive, and caring.”

The teacher at John Fisher Public School was placed on home assignment, along with the school’s principal and vice-principal, as part of a Toronto District School Board investigation into allegations of anti-Black racism toward the six-year-old.

“That’s when he’s told that he’s being distracting, and [was] led to the room, and locked in the room,” the mother told CTV News Monday. “It’s emotional, it’s unbelievable.” The mother also alleges that her son, the only Black boy in his class, was made to sit separately from his peers at a desk with unpleasant words scribbled on it.Staff under investigation after Black student, 6, allegedly locked in small room in Toronto elementary school

Another parent of a child in the class told CTV News in a statement “We hope that there is a fair and speedy investigation, as all the parents I have spoken to would like to see [the teacher] back in the classroom as soon as possible.”, which is set to release an advocacy framework for families navigating racism in the school system, is demanding to know what happened in the school office Jan. 31.

Just another example of a black person claiming racism and using the victim card . Where's the child's father btw ? Oh right , that doesn't occur very often in her community. Reinstate the teacher and principal immediately and issue them an apology.

Some children do not belong in any school .. some will physically harm other children & teachers. This applies to all ethnicities. Would blacks wish to have an all black school, no discipline, & see their children battered & bruised?

Parents want to provide background information that is pertinent to the case. They must know something that the media have not told.

Time to stop the racist bull shit

Everything is racism in Canada/U.S.A. 🤣🤣🤣 What a JOKE

My kid act like that before and he was asked to sit in the office, we understood it. Now he is a top performer in the class. We are Asians, we know the teacher was doing good for kids.

Sounds about white

If you can't discipline at the schools then why even have teachers and principals? Just let the kids do whatever they want. homeschool

*White parents

Tell me there’s issues with systemic racism without saying we have a problem of systemic racism. This is not acceptable

And so it begins... the great push back against horrible wokeism. And it will be GLORIOUS!

Read the news. Giving time out is one thing and 'locking' a six year old is completely another thing!! That being said - parent playing the race card is not acceptable either If the kid is that disruptive in the class (grade 1) then that have something to do with parenting too😡

When I was a child I used to claim I’m sick trying to skip school. My mother never believed me. So if a 6yr claims he was locked in a closet size room,nobody is asking if he’s making up stories? Is just common sense 🤦

If a student presents as an issue to others, that student needs to be separated and constrained. Most schools have rooms for that purpose. I had a 5 year old stab a student repeatedly in Ontario. It happens and safety of everyone is priority.

The cells are in other schools. When my son attended Balmoral Drive Sr Public School in Brampton the school had at least 4-5 cells that were filled daily. No access to school materials, no bathroom breaks etc; and parents would not be informed. If I was, I would bring him home

Doesn’t matter how this child behaved - locking a child up is corporal punishment and completely unacceptable by parents let alone teachers.

So when a white kid is locked in a room it's called... I'll wait.

I don’t believe in racist words or actions - ever. However I do believe that some parents are clearly not held accountable for their child’s bad behaviour. That is an issue that also needs some attention.

And that is supposed to make it okay? That school needs a shake up

IF the Kid is behaved bad Call the Parants and tell them to come and sit with Kid that way parants will know whats happening and kid will be good This is school board issue u need more ppl to work and Donot play politics here Borad issue Need more helpers

Didn't you know. TDSBDirector guilty until proven innocent. Everything is now if you are not black, you are a racist. It has become a crap show working in schools because of racist against white male comments in meetings.

This will intensify as grift continues. Welcome to cultural Marxism of identity politics. When you vote Liberal, and for Woke trustees, there are dangerous consequences affecting social cohesion. And NDP are absolutely insane. Watch today as Singh embarrasses himself with Weston.

There you go

If the child is rude they should be disciplined regardless of race. The method may not have been the right approach.

Student was likely disrupting the class and impeding others from having a positive learning environment. Time out is a normal practice.

public backlash against the school w/out focusing on obvious mitigating circumstances is what further polarizes—more parents who can, are pulling kids out of public ed for these purposes and what will be left is a place only the marginalized will resort to.

Retired teacher here. In the 32 years I taught -never locked a child in space by themselves -let’s reserve judgement until we hear more … you would be surprised by what a six year old with behaviour problems can do ( if your not a teacher that is) it’s 🤯we’ve seen it all

TDSBDirector the news just wants to sell and will prostitute anyone at any cost but the board should understand giving voice to groups like this ruin credibility for serious and real discrimination issues—boy who cried wolf

There is little mentioned about this child being a behavioral problem...there are always 2 sides to the story. The mother saying she sent a recording device on her child is a whole other issue.

Good to hear! Their employer’s mantra: guilty first, outcome second! Another reason why this employer is known to be one of the worst as to how employees are treated!

tdsb via it’s trustees due to groups like the one the mother is being backed by are why community liaison officers who build relationships among students are banned from public schools—we are missing the mark

TDSBDirector is the issue a racist issue or an issue of mismanagement of a child? This perpetuates further divide and it’s social engineering

Sounds like the kid was out of control and a disruption to the entire class. Poor parenting results in racist claims. Does he have a daddy?

This is a wake up call to all teachers and principals you are not there parents call the parents to pick there kids up every time you can’t control them eventually they will teach there kids how to act in public law suit coming soon because this was the original intention 💰

When I was growing up a boy in my class always was sent to a room. He acted up for years in elementary. We named it after him cos he was in it so much. We send our kids to school to learn, not to be locked up. If the teacher can't handle it, they shouldn't be there. Period.

This doesn’t seem to be a racial issue… Other parents say their child was also placed there… If the kid is disruptive, then he needs to be put in time out… just like everyone else. The thing is though, locking in a closet is an unacceptable punishment for anyone.

If the boy wasn’t a POC would this even be a story?

Really? What's wrong with the patents. Would they have said the same if it was their child or a white kid. This is Canada, there shouldn't be any place for racist people.

Elitist ivory tower classist anglo saxon caucasian parents displaying their white priviledge and entitlement protecting the interests of the teacher. Status quo Establishment speaks . Diversity is not Torontos strength in this disgusting version of racism

The fact that people are defending this teacher means nothing. I know a racist teacher who would have the same type of support. Does not mean she isn't a racist. But whatever.

If parents are standing by the teacher maybe this kid really is a shit disturber and I wonder if the situation would have gotten this kind of attention had the kid not been black

A lot of the comment under this tweet are scary. I know for a fact that if this was your child, and the roles were reversed you would have different energy towards the situation ☹️

I still cant believe people are still defending racism at it’s highest level.The System and Society are so bias; let that same six year old child go and tell his teacher his whopped his ass for bad behaviour, with out any hesitation they called child welfare on the parents.

Question - is the advocate organization recommending parents bring their children to school with recording devices? Bc coincidentally, it wouldn’t be the first time I heard that speculation

Are you serious!! The world has and will be divided

Yeah no, that's not acceptable at all by the teacher. Says the kid was being distracting so locked in him a room by himself... 100% wrong to do.

The closet kid is a perfect example of parenting gone bad!

Boy oh boy, people in this day and age make a mountain out of nothing. No wonder the world is as messed up as it is now. God Forbid a child gets disciplined!🤦‍♀️

Bad parenting leads tocloset kids!

Stopmaking a big deal about a kid in a closet back in the day we got the Ruler to the hand and our parents would encourage this as a form of discipline! This kids should not be allowed in school if he’s going to be such a disruption for others! Enough with this weakness ppl!

My caregiver used to leave me home alone at 5 for 6-8h big fucking deal this big dam fuss about a bratty kid who if behaved wouldn’t find himself in a closet! At least he didn’t get his ass wipped like we did!

A white student should be locked in a room too, for equality

But if little Susie with blonde hair, and blue eyes were left in the room separated and isolated from her classmates there would be an uproar going on. Regardless it was a KID.

Their kid is not blk THAT IS WHY they're DEFENDING the teacher. White people do this all the time. Passive about everything, so annoying. Obviously they feel like they did nothing wrong until it happens to their child. A CHILD!

The husband probably left the lady and her son. The kid now has a hard time listening to any authority. Fathers don't leave your children.

And here we go again , our tax payers is wasted because of a mother who don't know how to teach her child good manners and blames the school for her F$k ups ... thank you charlineGrant for wasting our hard earned money !

Et off your stupid cellphone and Teach your kids good manners at home so they don't end in the office for misbehaving!

So we can not say the kid is a trouble maker , disrespectful, have no manners , violent, doesn't listen , doesn't listen, parent did not teach him how to behave around the others ,... just because he is Black

When I was a kid my teachers they used to beat the sh!!t of me and my classmates if we misbehaved ... my entire class end up being Doctors, engineers & business owners.I tell my kids teachers all the time ( if they misbehave then teach them a lesson and embarrasse them ).

What closet size All what I see in that picture is a typical room size in Toronto that rents for at least $1000 a month !? I bet it js bigger than that mods room ! Because of stupid things like this we will have No good teachers because no one will want to teach anymore !

Dont drag Racism for all silly things. It's a teacher - student lesson. What if a black teacher does the same. Looks like canada doesn't have any news other than Racism news every now and then!

Even if the kid was disruptive there’s absolutely no logical reason for him to be locked up in a room alone.

So as an EA in both Catholic and public school boards, there are many schools with rooms for distractions and behaviours. Often it’s a safe place where the child can express their frustrations etc without disrupting the entire class. Is this the standard here? Or something else?

This boils down to fordnation cutting Educational Assistants in the classroom. An EA would've been able to help that boy.

If you have a problem with time-outs, you're why we used to have paddles straps and canes until it was banned in 2004

Were any of said parents non White? I think it is time to stop finding excuses for racist and racism, especially when it comes to children matthews18 time to punish everyone who harms any child DMSeII

Racist teacher...!! Black students need amnesty...even if murder or homicide....lets not forget the trauma 500 yrs ago...we neex to heal

Some children are just plain old obnoxious and not fun to be around..period. Some parents need to deflect from their bad parenting skills and special needs kids by playing the race card. Stop blaming everything that happens on racism.

'Advocacy group Parents of Black Children' ? Is there such a thing for White, Hispanic, Asian, Arab, First Nation..... groups ?

Parents defending this teacher care more about the teacher than the child. They don't care that the teacher imprisoned a child. Bet if it was one of their children they wouldn't be defending him but calling for him to be fired right away with no investigation.

This is crazy. Educators likely to be home for rest of year until this gets sorted. The damage done to the rest of these grade one students, during such an important point in their academic and social-emotional development is par for the course in dealing with these unruly kids.

Anyone who intentionally detains or confines another is liable for false imprisonment unless that action is authorized by law. An arrest without lawful authority constitutes false imprisonment.

There’s more to this story

If a child is aggressive and endangering other 6 years old and staff… what can they do? Understaff school system. I witness this too often in our school. Feel sorry for other little kids… learning loss when teacher need to focus on everyone’s safety.

Our education system is in crisis. Not enough funding and not enough staff fordnation Sflecce . Also if happened in the office then the teacher will not know about it and have nothing to do with it…. She is teaching in the classroom!! Maybe ask the secretary for the truth.

Too bad the teacher wasn't black, probably would of slapped the shit outta him.

I am skeptical that the story being presented to the public is accurate.

Irresponsible divisive reporting by CP24. The parent should share her discipline techniques to avoid accusations of racism whenever her son is disciplined.

This story will bring out all the people who will remind me why I vote Liberal. Comments should be fun.

Can't do this to a 6 year old. Racism, I don't know about all that but the kid is 6.

You don't lock a six year old in a dark room. Those responsible should be fired.

Teachers are tired of parents not parenting their kids. Then sending them to school like little animals with zero respect. What else are they to do except separate the little creatures for the betterment of the students that follow the rules and listen. Good for the teacher

It’s Yonge and Eglinton, are you surprised ?

Bring back reform schools.

Two decades of declining discipline, full integration of spec ed students, lowered academic standards, and more recently the introduction of CRT and this is the result!

I'd bet he is the problem in the class and mom wants to blame everyone else. He is probably singled out because he is out of control and there's no support to handle a problem child in the class. Annnd do we know if he wrote the words?

Locked? Really? Yeah sure 😒

So much bs in this article and no substance/details re the facts. The mothers story makes zero sense at all. Poor kid.

If a child's behavour is disrupting a class there should be protocol in place. The teacher escorts the child to the office, the principal calls the parents for a meeting and they come up with a solution for the child. A teacher has no right to lock a child in any room. Ever.

When I was a kid in Toronto, some kids (any race) were put into a separate room when the teacher ran out of ways to stop the kid from totally disrupting the class + some kids were given a separate room because they had some kind of neurodivergence & needed a quiet space for tasks

I am white I do not defend these white parents and I think it’s disgusting how this child was treated. Never should be any child not matter thr race be put in a small room at school by themselves let alone locked in. These educators should be let go if think this is ok

For the record you have Black and you have racialize treating the latter group well doesn’t translate to fair humane treatment of the former group.

First of one. Just because the the teacher is racialize, don't mean they can't have bias or show discrimination to black chicken.All racialize people are NOT treated the same. Also the child is suppose to be the only black child in the class so how is there 'other' black chicken?

The little bugger probably was a holy terror

If my child was locked in a room by a teacher (at 6 or any age for that matter), you’d hear from me too. 🐻

Honest question here. What do they mean when they say 'racialized'? I think I'm missing something. The teacher himself is a racialized gentleman. Other racialized students: what does that mean?

Literally the mom sent the kid with an audio recorder and have audible proof! and yet people are defending the teacher?

There needs to be a complete investigation. This includes the child’s home life because it sure sounds like this kid is struggling in school and needs help. Something needs to change for this kid.

Guess it’s easy to defend someone when it’s not your child that suffered. Blinders on!

The media has made this story so big that the truth will never be heard.

Not everything is racist, and there is also better ways to deal with children. Is he the only student that was put into that room during the entire employment of said teacher?

The child that was put in the closet had chased the other student with a medical emergency with a pair of scissors. Let's put all the facts on the table first please.

We were put in coat rooms when we were kids did anyone go I? No because we were bad end of the story. Today anything happens it's always going viral.

'the teacher himself is a racialized gentleman' Perhaps include that in the race-bating headline.

Locking a 6 year old in a room is literally out of Jane Eyre. Teachers had poor judgement and should not be liberal with their imaginations or limited power. Just unacceptable. Can we make their punishment biblical, old testament ready and lock them in a room too?

Again, what the kid do? Let's hear it.

It has to be racially motivated, why you ask because the black community says it is....I wish the black community would be as outraged when black youth are shooting each other....

This is a total “muh racism” hoax. The teacher was also of a protected class.

I wonder how blown out of proportion this article is. The colour of this child's skin has nothing to do with it. No child should be locked in a room. The article is saying 'allegedly'. The child likely needed to be removed out of the classroom as his behaviour was disruptive.

I've been sent to timeout in much worse places than this! and yes, I learned my lesson. There are lots of softies in the comments lol

I work in the school and the Racism that I see it pains my heart to the very core, it really makes me sick. It’s like a hate DeMon

46 years ago the parents would say good what did you do? Not these days .

lets make it about race... Ya....

Another easy money for blm. What a scam this group are.

Why is this a standard practice at this school? Absolutely ridiculous

nothing but fake grievance politics. gotta throw out that racism charge, versus teachers protecting ALL the children

Why do they have to say BLACK student?!!!!

Always race baiting

This is such irresponsible reporting. Should this be investigated? Absolutely. However, due to privacy restrictions, school staff will likely never be allowed to share their side. Maybe the child as never locked in (cameras should be able to determine that). Maybe /1

What we need is Black only schools, like that they can do what they want, the way they like.

I need more evidence then a deflection using racism. The media love this stuff.

Wild shit…these comments….6 year olds are not “bad” you absolute potato’s. I’m sorry your parents whipped you into obedience but you gotta get with the times…

Children with ADHD or who are easily distracted are sometimes moved to a quite space to focus on school work. This happened to myself in a small room for certain times of the day. It was not a punishment. Although looking back it felt like one.

It's called an in school suspension. Signed, The kid who was a menace to everyone else in my class, had multiple in school suspensions throughout his tenure in middle school and had his own desk in the corner for months & didn't grow up to be a serial killer or depressed

I can already tell this parent is a race baiter and looks for any occasion to cry wolf. Most likely this mother wasn’t given enough attention as a child and now thrives on negative types of attention because that’s the only way she could get noticed. What a shame for the teacher!

Change the headline to: “Parents who also lock their kids in closets think it’s ok for a teacher to do the same, and accept the same punishment for their kids.” What an unbelievable mess of humans tdsb

Believe all children. Sounds familiar. What could possibly go wrong?

rare to see parents defending the teacher in this day and age...

This wouldnt be news if the 6 year old was white

Cameras in all classes problem solved.

Can we get a 2nd opinion of this so called ‘imprisonment’ and ‘solitary confinement ‘ room? I feel like the Co-founder of said organization might be a little, ugh, biased…?

Racialized teachers are the worse for Black kids. They will prop up their own in the class at the expense of the Black student.

the kid is a probably a little demon. Suck it up lady, in Catholic school in the 70s I was a brat and got whacked with yardsticks by nuns, forced to stand in corners and locked up in detention rooms when I was 7 or 8. I probably deserved it!

Has this room or procedure been used with other kids? 'White' kids? Has a white child ever been put in that room?

It's obvious she can't handle little kids, she shouldn't work with kids. Period. 😡 who is defending a grown a.. woman locking a 6 year old just because she got furious, wtf. Are you sure they're actually parents? If they're I'd investigate their parenting methods 😒

It must be exhausting playing the victim 🤛🏿....

This poor teacher. Children never embellish stories! This parent and her child need to be removed from this school

The kid was being used as bait. He was wearing surveillance equipment for goodness sake! It's a setup! A scam!

I think let the investigation take its course when all the emotion is removed and left with the facts..

I was locked in a broom closet by my teacher when I was a child and have had claustrophobia ever since. The same happened to my daughter when she was in grade school. This is part of a bigger issue. Solitary confinement is not effective and does more harm than good.

We are slowly evolving into a civilization where facts relating to guilt and innocence are now primarily being based on immutable traits. We are going backwards.

'dozens of examples of discrimination' (translated) 'there is no father in the house and the child is out of control and unruly, and this is white people's fault'.

Most of us know there is more to this story.

There is absolutely NO explanation for this behaviour! Isolating a child in confinement is unacceptable. I understand children's behaviours can be challenging but this is not how you deal with it. SHAME ON EVERYONE WHO ALLOWED THIS & SHAME ON THOSE DEFENDING THEM! 😤🤬

No teacher would do that to any child. An EA or other teachers would have reported this. Silly. This is a parent that using the race because she doesn’t like her child’s teacher.

It is not about whether the teacher’s action is appropriate or not. It could just be plainly wrong. That is another issue that needs to be deal with. This article is about other parents trying to make a point that this is not about racism.

The parents defending this, if proven to be true, are terrible parents!

Send your kids to private schools. Public school initiatives and PD for teachers for the last two years are only about race and indigenous education. Discipline and other issues have gone by the wayside. Total mess.

Of course they do. It wasn’t their kid, so they don’t care

Extremely dedicated to white kids … lol. Why were the asked? Why do we care about their opinion matter? Nuts!!!!!’

The thing is this happened in Lindsay Ontario a couple of years ago too. While the punishment is NOT ok I am not sure if it has anything to do with race….

If this is true, that teacher at this day and age is crazy to jeopardize their career and will suffer consequences but if this kid is lying for 6 years old he will have ruined a teacher and their reputation

No doubt white parents are defending this abuse.

Listen to all of you. SMH. We were not there including the parents with their biased support. Let the investigation take place. Reserve judgment until we learn the whole issue. As a teacher myself I am sad 😞 about this whole situation.

Fake racism claims. Mother did a horrible job raising that rotten child and now wants a payout.

If this parent been having issues with the school regarding her son all this while too, she should have strengthened him up or better still change his school, racism needs to be stopped among us, it’s getting too much.

she should have withdrawn that innocent child from there all along , so sad that we still facing racism in this century… all the parents supporting the teacher, hope they will defend her when she does to their kids also, how can you lock a 6 yrs old in a room.

Cruel.. not racist

More then 35 parents feel safe to keep their children in school and No discriminatory issues,I wonder how the teacher can be unfair with a 6 years old boy?!?…..Canadians are the most who can’t be blame to discriminate!!!This is in style now!!….so sad!

Finally people are fighting back against leftist outrage

Black parents reading this:

Ugh go away

Let's do it the south African way. Apartide. Everyone will be happy to be exclusively with their own kind.

It’s obvious from responses people have no idea how schools are run. The child was sent to the office. The child may have been locked in a room in the office - horrible yes. But I doubt the teacher did it! Do you really think the teacher left 19 kids alone to go to the office? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I can't believe the teacher isn't white.

And so the truth comes out

If the mother of the child felt discriminated and this escalated why she didn’t find a suitable place for her child….maybe another school?

Even if the kid was aggressive or disrupting there are certain procedures to follow. Locking a kid down is not one of them.

Wonder how these parents would feel if it was their child locked in a closet

But wait. The first article said. He is the only black kid in the class. Now this one says there is more then one? Lol.

What does the color of the kid's skin have to do with it? Shame on the boy's mother for making this about identity politics.

Is the kids fatherless?

🙄 yes those teachers need to be re-trained again! There are procedures for everything and pretty sure none includes locking up the kid regardless how 👿 is….

Why does the teacher being another minority matter? Why is that mentioned as if it is an important factor to consider?

First, if this happened as described by the kid, it is unacceptable and accountability is needed. But an automatic “We believe the child”? Really? Taking the word of a 6 year old before anyone even investigates And people wonder why nobody wants to get into education.

I can't believe that people keep pulling the race card every time life becomes hard

Not everyone kids is a Angel and can’t claim they are. Kids are out of control now.

Hey everyone I predicted the future!

Well better that back in the day when you got the strap or ruler or pointer access the hands. And most time you got told bu your parents you must have done something to warrant getting it

If the child is so disruptive he is distracting other students then that child needs support not punishment. He is 6! Behaviour is communication. Needs are not being met.

Skin color is at the forefront of this issue rather than the actual issue of a 'child' being locked away!

What was he doing ? If we can ask

If it was a white kid it wouldn't even make the news..

This is all bullshit. He wasn’t locked in the room, he was told to sit at the desk with the door open while staff tended to a medical issue. The teacher whose reputation and career is being destroyed is also a racialized person. I hope he sues the mother.

The 6 year old black student will return in 10 years on CP24 news with a photo of a police cruiser .

Where is the boy's father?.....

“We do believe that the teacher is a wonderful teacher who has never shown any kind of discriminatory bias toward not only the other Black children in the class, but also the other racialized children in the class, and the teacher himself is a racialized gentleman,” What?

A typical media conundrum, an accusation can be made in the media and the alleged perpetrator cannot respond because of privacy issues. The teacher and others were attending an ill child; they had reason to believe a child could/should not remain unsupervised among other kids..

I bet that kid was a complete menace and had absolutely nothing to do with the kids skin colour

Those parents should be ashamed of themselves

CP24 should be ashamed for posting the original story without getting all the facts. More proof that cp24 is a joke

Bad parents

Trial by news and social media. How about investigate first and then see if teacher is to blame. Its now looking like the child and parent are a problem and even that isn’t right. We can’t keep jumping to conclusions and cancelling people it doesn’t work in the long term.

“But the teacher has been lovely to the other kids in the class, you know, the ones who aren’t Black” is not a great defense for racism, more just describing the racist problem 😬

Can’t believe anyone is saying this is an over reaction by the parent. Under what circumstances is it ever okay to lock a six year old child in a small enclosed space? People saying he misbehaved or did something wrong - he is six!!!

Kid's a pest, got timed out. what's the issue here? This isn't 'Matilda' it's not the 'Chokey'.

There is no reason to put a child in a closet. Racial or not.

There is no reason for any kid any color or behaving problems to be locked in a room by himself

“The boy’s mother alleges that she and her son were subject to dozens of instances of discrimination at the school” - sounds like someone has a bad kid.

I’ve been advocating for cameras in the classroom for years. Problem solved.

No mater what colour anyone is, locking a child in a room is unacceptable and reprehensible. That’s isolation and confinement, she should be charged criminally for traumatizing such a young child.

Kid prob deserved it for being a shit disturber ... back in the day this was a common occurrence.... but anything to get your 15mins!!!

Of course all the other white parents are rushing to support the teacher. They have no idea what it's like for the African Canadian child and parents. The school and the other white parents should be ashamed

Read the article first.

“For me it felt, and looks like, imprisonment, solitary confinement, and it’s cruel and unusual punishment.”- Charline Grant She is already using all the right language for a Human Rights Tribunal settlement. She’s a race grifter with a lot of experience getting HRTC rulings

Racism or not, I don’t think a child should be ever locked in a room alone. School is saying he never was locked in though.

Another overreaction by a parent?

anyone care to ask the teacher why the little black lad was sent to that room ? The answer would prove that racism has nothing to do with that but bad behaviour

Shocking. Black people crying victim when nothing happened again

Isolation rooms! Remember those? Zero outrage then

Everything is racist according to msm

Why are we letting narcissistic conspiracy theorists ruin our school system? Racism in Canada is mostly a conspiracy theory which cannot be proven and disregards and censors facts and stats that do a much better job at explaining why things are the way they are.

Toronto elementary school staff under investigation after Black student, 6, allegedly locked in small roomThree staff at a Toronto elementary school are under investigation after a six-year-old Black student was allegedly separated from his peers and locked in a closet-sized room. Always using the race card. Maybe the kid was being a complete little 💩 and needed to be separated from everyone and put in a secure time out to calm down.

Parents defend teacher accused of racism at Toronto school where Black student, 6, was allegedly locked in roomMore than 35 parents of children in a Grade 1 class at the Toronto school where a 6-year-old boy was allegedly locked in a closet-sized room for 30 minutes have signed a petition in support of their teacher, who they call “extremely dedicated, attentive, and caring.” By putting this story out there without any of the facts from either side, all that will happen is tensions will be stoked and hostilities will be created towards the teacher, parents and the accusers. It is a lose lose for everyone involved unfortunately All I heard from parents on the news was support for teacher. They want him back. Not one said let’s find out for the sake of this child!!! This mother is looking for a pay day
