Write to Toronto District School Board Trustees

Take one minute to write to the the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Chair & Trustees, and the Director of Education at the TDSB.

Last week, the Toronto District School Board Office of the Integrity Commissioner published a report following an independent investigation into social media comments by Trustee Alexandra Lulka. Their findings raise a number of serious concerns about anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia.

On Wednesday, December 8th, 2021, the trustees will vote on whether to censure Trustee Lulka as recommended by the Integrity Commissioner.

The Independent Investigator concluded that the Respondent’s (Trustee Lulka Rotman) Twitter Statement fundamentally mischaracterized materials which were intended to, and do for the most part: (1) center the voices of marginalized Palestinians (particularly those of Palestinian children) as well as Muslims more broadly, and (2) assist educators in understanding and discussing the Palestinian struggle for self-determination and human rights in a manner that provides thoughtful guidance on how one might critique the Israeli government and army without perpetuating anti-Semitism.

If you are in Toronto, call your local trustee to voice your concerns about the findings of this investigation.

The Integrity Commissioner’s use of an independent reviewer, and their decision, is important in making it a  safer place for TDSB's Palestinian and Muslim communities and their allies. This is important work in the service of anti-racism, respect for diversity, and justice for all. Ask the TDSB Trustees to accept the recommendations of the Integrity Commissioner's independent review.
