Nice. Thanks. What has become clear is that schoolboards all over Ontario have been infiltrated by Marxists, at all levels from the Board admins to the unions to the trustees. This is not an exaggeration or hyperbole, this is literally the case, and this story is just one simple anecdote demonstrating that. Melanie Bennet is also helping show the background to all this, it has been building for years. The only way this changes is if more centrist parents take the schools back and get involved at the political level. I believe there is a movement growing to do this.
Watching our local school board (also in Ontario) and it's gross mismanagement of funds with it's top-heavy structure, overpaid executives, mismanaged capital and wasteful processes, I am guessing TDSB is similar. And all the while still needing parents to step up and raise additional funds for activities, only to have said funds not exclusive to that school? That is actually akin to theft. Not only that, it is the utmost in deception to the people that are willing to buy into the 'parent' fund raising. -"My neighbour is helping his kids fundraise...I'll go buy in...what do you mean the money goes to a different school than the one my neighbour's kids are in!?!?"
Good point, it verges on fraud, if you give to your nephew's school for a fundraiser, which is the kind of thing that happens all the time, you expect the money for the dance-thon or whatever to go to your relative's school.
It begs the question really? When our kids went to high school 35 years ago the same “idea of distribution” was brought forward. The principal at the time offered to assist the schools which had less affluent parents. He volunteered to teach the less fortunate parents how to fund raise. His offer was promptly rejected
The conclusion is inescapable. Education must be fully privatized and deregulated. That way, the power to determine the type and quality of education kids get will be fully vested in the people who are paying for it. Conflicts between parents over how their kids should be educated will instantly evaporate once parents gain complete control.
I have ZERO sympathy. Yes it's woke Marxist woke crap, but its happening to the people who foisted this sh*t on us and expect to avoid the consequences themselves. "Safe" injection sites, half way houses? not in their hood!
The downtown progressive elites have turned the schools in their posh neighborhoods into private schools they don't have to pay full freight for via fundraising. Screw that, I had to pay a fortune to get my son through, they are just gaming the system. The system they thought they control.
Choke on the woke garbage petard you so high and mightily hoisted. I'll sit back and enjoy the liberal tears.

Wow, I really glad this failed. One small reprieve from the collectivists. They exist in Ottawa too. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/frith-public-school-inequality-is-made-worse-by-private-funding/ar-AA1D5x0R?ocid=msedgntp&pc=W099&cvid=98a56c5c4682441dab0644f542d89c7c&ei=14
Communism is so "fair".....
I explain how being a snitch is self-destructive, self-defeating and corrosive to our culture. Let me explain:

There should be more coices in education, not just one or two school boards.
There should be multiple choices where you can choose, and influence,the type of education that you want for your children.
Having only one or two choices in, for example, buying cars would not be acceptable.
The school board should concentrate on giving students a better education.
The school system seems to give bad results, especially with all the money spent.

Forced communism from the NDP-captured school boards. Ugly and wrong.
NDP? Doug Ford is all in on DEI and trans nonsense in schools. Conservative my a**!
Yes, he's a disappointment. But those radical TDSB school boards are full of ndp members.
