BLACK HISTORY MONTH-FEBRUARY 2022
Parents, please check with your child's school to ensure the contribution of Black Canadians is in their curriculum.
Do not assume.
Do not allow the administration to placate you with platitudes.
You are in charge of your child's education.
If the school isn't including Black History, here are tools you can use at home.

"For Black History Month, the students decorated the halls with posters reading "My voice will be heard" and "Our collective power is immeasurable." They are also planning guest speakers, virtual activities and slide shows about politics, music and athletics within the Black community.
As a group, the students brainstorm, research and create a variety of content throughout the school year."
SADLY, THIS HAD TO OCCUR
After the Black Student Alliance formed last year, a counter group called the Scona White Student Alliance briefly sprang up in opposition. In social media posts, that group encouraged local students to fight "Black supremacy" and called on students to "rise up" and fight "racism against white people."
